Price lowered.....

Just saw this - thanks for the info

Two charges - $90 and $135.....antelope (26pts) and bull elk (9 pts)....been a long wait!

Antelope - 26 pts drawn for unit 10 - finally!

Yea - with 26 antelope points and 9 elk points, my luck has not been great these past few years........

Just curious if you guys are seeing all of your applications listed as "pending" on your Game and Fish Portal? The family and I submitted apps for both antelope and elk yesterday, but only the antelope applications are showing as pending on our portals. The elk apps aren't showing. Received an email receipt for the elk apps, so I was thinking they should also show.

Started my daughter with a .270 and used Managed Recoil bullets. These bullets are made for numerous other calibers as well. Here is a good article .......... https://www.chuckhawks.com/rem_managed_recoil.htm

Do you slaughter them or do we have to take them away live?

Years ago, it was very rare that a highway would be completely closed. The first restriction was chains or 4 wheel drive required. Or closed to big rigs. There are just too many clueless people out who cause too many accidents and slide off the road. Three years ago, took my daughter 6 hours to drive back to NAU after Thanksgiving- every few miles someone was in the ditch.

What a great outing!

Dirt Bike carrier for a 2 inch hitch. Detachable ramp. Solid steel, nothing wrong with it. I just don't need it, no more dirt bikes. Selling for $50. Major crossroads - 56th street and Bell.

Use a bobcat. Don't use plastic.

Simple and good.........after cleaning the birds, I always soak them for a few hours in salt water, sometimes I leave them overnight and freeze or cook the next day. For an easy recipe - flour dove and then saute them in olive oil and garlic. After they brown, add chicken broth, use two cans or one box. Then cover and simmer on low for a few hours. The meat will fall off the bone.

Three of us went out this morning.......60 Eurasians, 25 mourning and 5 whitewings.........called it quits at 9am.

Tickets have been sold, I will use offer up next time. I didn't think of that.

2 tickets for sale - I first saw the Stones in 1981. Saw them again in 2006. Can't believe they are still playing......if you are an old classic rock fan, I have two tickets for sale. My daughter needs new tires for her Jeep, so I decided not to go - priorities. Trying to sell them on Craigslist has turned into a pain - people saying they want them and they don't show up. So, I thought I would try to sell them here. Not the usual thing for sale on this website, but I figured I would try. I am asking $300 for both of them. I know this sounds like alot, but this is way below face value. They were selling for $200 plus a ticket from Ticketmaster. The concert is Monday August 26 at State Farm Stadium where the Cardinals play. They are in section 234, Row 5, Seats 5 and 6

I did not get drawn for anything here in Arizona, so I decided this would be the year I visit my friend in Alaska and hunt moose. We grew up here in Phoenix, went to high school and college together and later we both became teachers. He moved to Alaska about 15 years ago and became a Principal and is now the Superintendant of schools in a small village on the Yukon River. For the past 11 years, I have longed to go out and visit him. I finally made it. I had dreams of getting a 60 plus inch moose. But, I also hoped that I would be accepted by the Yupik Community and learn about their culture first hand. This was very special and they treated me as if they had known me for years. So, after 3 flights I arrived in the village. The last flight was on a Cessna Caravan 7 seater, flying just above the Tundra. We drove around the village, and took a tour of the schools and then we started packing. It was raining like crazy, so we waited until morning to pack up his boat. Morning came and it was still raining. We packed up our gear and 70 gallons of fuel. We were prepared for 6 days on the river. We picked up a a good friend and hit the river. It rained all morning, but we did not mind. We were headed up river, with the hopes of getting further up river than any other boat trip. Many of the locals go up river when it is frozen to trap, but few are able to travel this far in a boat. He navigated the boat through some incredible country and allowed us to get 7 hours up river - about 100 miles. We saw a few moose on the ride, a young bull which I passed up. My friend decide that becasue he had meat in the freezer, that this hunt was for me. After hitting bottom a number of times and changing the lower unit to a Jet on the motor to allow for shallow water travel we finally got as far as the river would allow. Here is when the excitement started. We checked the prop on the jet unit and 3 out of the 5 fins were broken. We had lost alot of control of the boat and knew something was wrong. We had to make a decision. Leave all of our gear at camp and try to get back to the village and get a spare prop or try to contact someone and get them to drop us a prop. Well, rather than blow 14 hours of travel and 40 plus gallons of fuel, we broke out the satelite phone. We got ahold of a pilot friend. He agreed to get a new prop, wrap in 5 life jackets, fly up river, find our camp and make a drop. He found us, made a perfect drop, I waded out and picked up our new prop out of the river. It felt like Christmas! After getting it on the motor we went up river a little further. Climbed a few hills, ate alot of blueberries and blackberries and looked at some absolutely amazing country. We glassed up a huge musk ox and watched him feed for a while. We crossed the river one more time and decided to take a look at one more ridge. Well, this was the ridge. I'm glassing and sure enough, the silhouette of a bull moose appears. I crawl over to my buddy and he said, "Let's call him in." He was about 700 yards from us. He let's out a grunt and the bull immediately finds the closest willow and starts beating the crap out of it. This bull was ready to fight. My buddy makes some other calls (no man made calls, just his mouth) and the bull zones in on us and is headed our way. He crossed a creek and got with 100 yards. I am on my knee, ready to shoot. "Let's wait, he'll get closer." I said, "I got him." But I waited. My friend started raking the willow next to us and put his palms up in the air. The bull crossed another little creek and showed himself 40 yards away, broadside. I shot! Hit him right behing the shouldar, but he barely flinched with the 375 Ultra Mag. He ran and stopped. I shot again. He lifted his front leg and I could tell it was a shoulder shot. He went down. As we walked over to him there was pools of pink blood, a lung shot. I got within 10 yards and he jumped up. I shot one more time, hit his neck. He ran into the willows and it looked like a truck knocking down the trees. We couldn't see the bull, but the trees moved side to side. The movement stopped, we gave it some time and we found him about 40 yards into the willows. We gave thanks, took some pictures and got to work. Luckily, another local knew that we were up river and he and his sons came up to see if we made it up river as far as we had planned. I think they wanted to get a little further than us . They heard the shots came over and gladdly helped us pack out the moose about a half mile to the boat. There were nine of us and we each carried a load of 125 pounds plus. Thank God they showed up. I can't imagine making 3 trips. We got back to camp at dark and celebrated with fresh moose heart and onions. This time of year, the liver is bad on these bulls from not eating and because of generating alot chemicals to produce their scent. Sorry for the long read....but, it was truly a special trip. I got my moose, brought home 300 pounds of incredible meat, and got exposed to the real people of Alaska. I gave 100 pounds of meat to some elders who needed meat. It took the two of us 21 hours of deboning the meat, cutting, grinding and wrapping. These people hunt and fish for everything they have. I felt truly honored that they allowed me to harvest one of their moose. My moose was 40 inches and had broken tops from fighting. But, I could not be happier........

This is a long shot, but I figure I would try.........The kids are home from college and we are looking for good seats to the Coyotes/Oilers game on Wed. Jan 2nd. We need four. Anyone have any they want to unload? Thanks.

Club soccer season just started - price reduced, any takers.........

Looking for a Jeep Wrangler for my daughter. Would like to spend less than $13,000. Stock or lifted is fine. Something less that 15 years old. Automatic and hard top is preferred. Anyone selling one? I have seen a few on Craigslist, but most are over priced and I would rather deal with a member on here. I was holding on to my 1969 CJ5 for years thinking one of the kids would want it. Well, neither one wanted it, so I sold it. Now, of course one daughter wants a Jeep. Thanks.

Thinking about getting a cover for my F150. I hate watching it bake in the sun. It does not fit too well in the garage, only 1 inch to spare when closing the garage door. Not to mention, the wife and both daughters are occupying garage space now that they are home from college. Any suggestions on a good cover? Any suggestions on covers to avoid? Never used one, so I am not even sure if they are worth it. But, I feel like I should try to save the paint and interior.......thanks.

Yea, and then I would be trying to find space not only for my truck, but for my bed as well........besides, I would be in the same situation, watching one of their vehicles bake in the sun. And seeing how they are all worth as much as my truck, it would be a losing deal...........

I missed this post and as I read through it, my heart sank for you and your family. As a father of two girls, it is easy to feel your pain. Not to mention one of god daughters is named Gabi. Praying that she gets stronger every day. I am glad that she is back at school and can be around her friends, that is so good for the soul. Best of luck to her and her friend on the javelina hunt.

So great! Congratulations.....sounds like my dad, except he is 81.
