Well done! I'm glad the population there is doing well. Congratulations on the beautiful ram and thank you for a great write-up with pictures! The hard work in beautiful country with old friends and new friends helping out is worth it but the beautiful ram is the cherry on top! Thanks again.

Maybe ringtail cat if not a fox?

Yes. In the mailbox yesterday (11/20/24). Same with son-in-law. Good luck to everyone!

Well done! Care to share the story of the hunt?

I've used pillow cases and name brand game bags. I didn't know Marsupial Gear made these but will look into them. Thanks for posting.

This is indeed one of the most interesting threads in a long while. We're all fighting the indefensible assault of time but stay in the fight! Now that you're retired, maybe think that your job is to train your body. As you said, you still have "the heart and desire to get out there in the woods and hunt, camp or fish" and now that you have more time maybe think about your job is to "train for the adventure." Movement is medicine. I have a friend who says "Motion is lotion. Rest is rust." He's right. I find it helps to think of the hunt when the inertia tries to drag me down and keep me on the couch. Thanks for a thought provoking post.

1 more win and my Devils are bowl eligible. I don't care if it's the Ronco Toilet Bowl. A bowl is a bowl. Go Devils!

I heard good things about Wescott and also PakRax. Both locally made. Check the generation 4Runner because I don't know if they do all of them. A cheaper option might be Prinsu. There are a couple stores called Rack Attack in the Valley that might have some options or advice too. Cool present for your boy.

Glad you'll be able to stock more soon, Mark. They are my favorite map and make a great stocking stuffers too.

Great tale of perseverance with a nice reward for all the hard work (and fun) you experienced to get there! Thanks for posting.

I'm pretty moderate on most issues. There is a quote I like by economist John Kenneth Galbraith said (the part in bold is seen most often but I'm providing the rest for context): "I react to what is necessary. I would like to eschew any formula. There are some things where the government is absolutely inevitable, which we cannot get along without comprehensive state action. But there are many things — producing consumer goods, producing a wide range of entertainment, producing a wide level of cultural activity — where the market system, which independent activity is also important, so I react pragmatically. Where the market works, I'm for that. Where the government is necessary, I'm for that. I'm deeply suspicious of somebody who says, "I'm in favor of privatization," or, "I'm deeply in favor of public ownership." I'm in favor of whatever works in the particular case."

On my watch list now. Thanks gents.

Your instinct was the same as mine. It was the poster's 1st post. No pic of the actual item (just a copied website pic). Great price. No buddies jumping in saying "Solid person. Buy with with confidence." All hallmarks of a scam. Only thing missing was link to click. Don't ever apologize for being vigilant. It helps the community. If we're wrong sometimes, so be it. Thanks for keeping an eye out.

I was considering something like this. How "new" is new by your definition? (Free bump regardless.)

Big Browns (Adam) recently did these two for me. They came out great! He did quality work and was responsive and looked for ways to make the transaction convenient.

Certainly if a deal was reached then it should be, as we say, a done deal. Offer + Acceptance of Offer = Deal. At that point, if either the buyer or seller renege then bash away. Reneging on a done deal costs the other side time/money/frustration.

I can empathize with deercrazy's experience. Although it's true that its not difficult to say "no", it should also not be difficult to hear "no." I've had the "I can come look at it a week from Tuesday" (which is not an acceptance of the offer and is really only an offer to kick the tires which is often followed by an offer significantly lower than the offered price). To which I respond "Okay, I'll let you know if it sells before then." Then, when I sell to a person who unambiguously accepts the offer to sell at the offered price by saying "I'll take it.", I inform the tire-kicker that the item has sold and instead of hearing "Cool, thanks for letting me know.", the person grouses (sometimes to the point of chastising) because because they perceived that they had the right of first refusal. To me, however, they already exercised that right when they refused the offer by not accepting it and instead merely offered to potentially engage in future negotiations. I understand it's the nature of the business and we should have thick skin but being righteously indignant is fun and free. Sometimes that's all we have in this world. 🤣

Thanks for the update. Any close up pics! And has your research shown if they can survive mange and regrow their coats?

I have not done this but to legally do it you would likely need to be a resident of the state where you will be registering the vehicle. Every state that I can think of requires this. Arizona law requires that a vehicle be registered with ADOT or registered in the state and county where the owner is a resident. Even if the vehicle is owned by an out of state person or entity, it must be registered with ADOT if it is primarily under the control of an AZ resident for more than 7 months. This is not legal advice by any stretch and I could be completely wrong but it is something to research and consider before you decide what to do. It could enter into your cost/benefit analysis. Here's an Arizona statute that seems to apply (I bolded the part that looked important to me): Arizona Revised Statutes section 28-2153. Registration requirement; exceptions; assessment; violation; classification A. A person shall not operate, move or leave standing on a highway a motor vehicle, trailer or semitrailer unless the motor vehicle, trailer or semitrailer has been registered with the department for the current registration year or is properly registered for the current registration year by the state or country of which the owner or lessee is a resident. B. A resident shall not operate, move or leave standing on a highway a motor vehicle, trailer or semitrailer that is: 1. Owned by a nonresident and that is primarily under the control of a resident of this state for more than seven months unless the motor vehicle, trailer or semitrailer has been registered with the department for the current registration year. 2. Leased by the resident for more than twenty-nine days unless the motor vehicle, trailer or semitrailer has been registered with the department for the current registration year. C. This section applies to a trailer or semitrailer without motive power unless the vehicle is disabled or is being towed as an abandoned vehicle at the direction of a law enforcement agency. D. This section does not apply to: 1. A farm tractor. 2. A trailer used solely in the operation of a farm for transporting the unprocessed fiber or forage products of a farm or any implement of husbandry designed primarily for or used in agricultural operations and only incidentally operated or moved on a highway. 3. A road roller or road machinery, including a power sweeper, that is temporarily operating or moved on the highway. 4. An owner permitted to operate a vehicle under special provisions relating to lienholders, manufacturers, dealers and nonresidents. 5. Motorized or nonmotorized equipment designed primarily for and used in mining operations and only incidentally operated or moved on a highway. 6. A motor vehicle that is being towed by a tow truck that has been registered and for which a permit has been obtained pursuant to section 28-1108. 7. A golf cart used in the operation of a golf course or only incidentally operated or moved on a highway. 8. Wheeled equipment. For the purposes of this paragraph, "wheeled equipment" means: (a) A compressor. (b) A forklift or a hay squeeze machine that is designed to load hay in an off-road situation. (c) A portable cement mixer. (d) A single axle tow dolly. (e) A tar pot. (f) A water trailer used for watering livestock or for agricultural or domestic purposes. (g) A welder. (h) Any other similar item designed and used primarily for construction or building trade purposes. 9. An all-terrain vehicle or an off-road recreational motor vehicle operating on a dirt road that is located in an unincorporated area of this state. For the purposes of this paragraph, "dirt road" means an unpaved or ungraveled road that is not maintained by this state or a city, town or county of this state. 10. A person operating an off-highway vehicle who is participating in an off-highway vehicle special event as defined in section 28-1171. 11. An all-terrain vehicle or an off-highway vehicle as defined in section 28-1171 that is only incidentally operated or moved on a highway. E. A person who owns or operates a trailer that is exempt from registration pursuant to subsection D, paragraph 2 of this section shall notify the county assessor of the exemption, and the assessor shall assess the trailer. A person who violates this subsection is guilty of a class 2 misdemeanor.

Sounds like you have it handled. Your insurance company does this every day and it is protection that you paid for with your premiums. You should definitely let your insurance company know if you get any further contact from the subrogation attorney. If at any time your insurance company refuses to defend you or says "sorry, you're on your own", then you have an issue but unless that happens, it sounds like they've got it covered. Like others have said, subrogation is a real thing. Consider an accident like a two round boxing match. Round one, the initial accident litigation/settlements has been completed and you rightly thought this whole thing was behind you. But this is round two, the final round of this two round boxing match. Subrogation is when the insurance company pays out according to their policy but believes it that another party is ultimately responsible so they go after that party to try to recoup some or all of what the insurance company paid out. Lawyers have to eat so they generally only take cases when there is some meat on the bone for them. Usually, subrogation attorneys get a % of what they recover for the insurance company that paid out on the claim. Some subrogation claims are clear, some are murky, and insurance companies have all kinds of agreements as far has how to handle these things between themselves. You're smart not to post anything about the facts on here but there can be instances where the rear car has 100% liability like if a car crashes into the car in front of them which pushes that car into the car in front of them, etc. Or there can be cases where the rear car has 0% liability like then the pile-up already happened and the rear car barely taps the last car and causes no damages. And there's the in-between where the rear car did not cause the initial accident but made it worse by hitting the rear car. I mighta taken the long way around the barn on this one but, in the end, you were a responsible person and had insurance so they should handle it. It's what you paid for.

Sold Pending Funds through other avenue. Will re-post if it falls through. Will know in about 72 hours. Thank you.

Great bull and keep trying to post the story with more pics!

Sweet build! I'm drooling. I'm at a decision point with my 1st gen Xterra. I'll make a different thread about it when I get a chance to get some thoughts and advice. Thanks for this post.

I think government work would be worth him considering. I'm more familiar with municipalities but here are some considerations that might be applicable depending on organization: - Most large cities have public works departments and the need to maintain not just passenger vehicles but industrial vehicles too like solid waste (garbage) trucks, etc. - Steady work with a consistent schedule and holidays off or holiday pay. - Health insurance - Retirement plan (not as generous as it used to be but still better than nothing). - Ability to buy back military time as prior gov't service with pre-tax dollars, payroll deduction and once bought back this will give him 6 years of service in the municipal retirement plan (usually Arizona State Retirement System unless Phoenix or Tucson). -Room for advancement into supervision/mgmt -Training/Education benefits -Tools? I don't know if they supply tools or not. -Hourly rate (usually less than pvt. sector but with the reduction in fringe benefits, it might be closer than they used to be). Just some thoughts for your boy to consider.

FYI - I was there today (11/17) and Von Hanson's is also full. They'll accept more starting the 24th.
