Done. Just purchased a preference point for antelope. Thanks for the input.

Yeah, It's not as necessary to go out of state for deer. It's pretty easy to draw a tag in AZ, and fair chance to find a decent buck. Someday I'll put in for AZ muly....if I can get over this WT addiction. Colorado may be a better choice for muly. Much closer than WY. Tag fee may be more though...not sure. For now, I think I'll just buy a WY goat tag and plan a trip in two or three years. It'd be nice to go with someone who knows the ropes, to be more efficient with the time.

No, not the best in the state....just a good chance at a decent buck. I have never hunted antelope (and may never in AZ). Are you saying I should buy deer points too? I'd like to take a good muly before I take up the rockin' chair.

Wow! Great buck! Clay does a great job. How wide is he?

I need to relace my softener but not sure it will fit in the space. Where are you located?

Very cool!!! I wish I had the property to put it on. I drove one like this when I worked at Saguaro Lake Marina, launching boats, in the early '80s.

I had chiggers bad when I was a kid in Indiana. Mom made me sleep with gloves on because I was scratching myself raw.

Holy Smokes!!! Ggrrreat buck!! Congrats to you both!

Agree....I have a Cabelas Alaknak 12x12 with a wood stove. When outside temp is in the teens, the inside is in the 70's. Nothing better than bedding down in a cozy sleeping bag with the glow and crackle of a fire in the stove. Although I hardly ever have a truly cold hunt, so I rarely use the stove...usually just a propane heater. The temps have to be below 35 degrees, or the stove will make it too hot. I recently picked up a 10x10 Kodiak from Cabelas bargain cave. Much easier to set up than the Alaknak. Can't wait to try it out.

Many options mentioned. The most important thing is sleeping well. This is a tough hunt, especially if there is snow and mud. You will need good sleep and a good attitude each day. Each person is different, so whatever you require to be able to hunt hard each day. A couple years ago I had the Nov archery bull in 22-S. My partner and I paid a buddy to hall his toy hauler to camp for a week. It was worth it for the good sleep and shower....since I flew my brother out to join me and had my two sons visit for a few days. My son and I spent a few days at the end of the hunt in my 8x10 Coleman Insta-tent with a propane heater. It was plenty comfortable on cots in a good bag.

The Leupold 1000 for sale on this forum is a good price, and great rf. I love mine.

...also, license plate, tags, and OHV sticker (thru DMV). If you will ride on pavement, you need DOT rated tires.

Good price! Great RF!

My wife could sure use some help. She is not a hunter, but we still get along. Do you have any experience with type 2 diabetes? She does pretty good with diet, but could be better. A meal plan would really help I think. If we can get good results and good consultation, we would be willing to pay. Thanks in advance!

Very nice! I have the same dilemma. The 65mm is a good all around size scope, but it depends on how much weight you are willing to pack. If the scope will stay in the truck/ATV, then I would get the larger 85mm. Personally, I like a lighter pack, so my 65mm often stays behind. I am looking at the Vortex Razor 50mm for packing in.

I bought a used Zeiss 65mm 4 or 5 years ago. No regrets. It's light enough to carry in a pack if you're hiking in....but is usually left behind. I have a doubler for my binos that works pretty good, if the conditions are right. I think it's been said in other posts...spend the money on really good binos first, then get the spotter. A lot of times you can see enough detail with GOOD 12's or 15's to know that's the animal you want to go after without the use of a spotter. If you want a spotter, it needs to be a GOOD one. The cheaper ones will only frustrate you due to low light, heat waves, glare, etc... I had a Nikon Prostaff I tried to use for one season, then sold it and bought the Zeiss....night and day difference. You will also need a good, sturdy tripod, otherwise the image will be shaking too bad to see detail. Oh...and then you'll start shopping for a digiscoping setup....

Good luck. I've been waiting for a reply since Friday.

How much...cash?

I sent you a PM

It's an "assault" knife!! I about cut the tip of my finger off last season while quartering my deer....extremely sharp!

My wife is the "designated broker" with Coldwell Banker Trails & Paths Realty. The husband/wife owners are really great people...very giving and helpful. They are located at Power Rd and McDowell, NE corner, in NE Mesa. 480-355-4700 Ron and Debbie are the owners My wife's name is Carol Tell them Brad Drew referred you.

You can make a darn good/large cooler with a tarp and old sleeping bags....just add ice. This will buy you a couple days. Good for transport too.

How old is it and how many hours?

Here is the link to the manual: http://www.mymowerparts.com/pdf/Arctic-Cat-ATV-Repair-and-Service-Manuals/Arctic-Cat-2005-Service-Manual/ There is a "start here" section. That is the table of contents. You can click on a section and it will open it, instead of scrolling the entire manual.

I also have two 2005 AC 500 quads. Mine are rear tank, vacuum pump. I had a problem with one of them last year, after leaving gas set too long. But it would idle fine, but cut out under power. I drained the tank and replaced the fuel/vacuum pump first, since it was easy to get to...under the seat. Didn't fix the problem. I rebuilt the carb and that fixed it. Most likely you will need to rebuild the carb. It is pretty simple. You can get the kit from Bass Pro. Several years ago I downloaded the service manual, and that is a big help. I googled it and found it on a small engine/lawnmower repair shop website...if I recall correctly. I would post it, but the whole thing is over 250Mbs.
