On late rifle elk hunts I have always had on some red or orange. Generally, I carry a pack that is red and brown. I feel safer, as I have spent many elk hunts still hunting through the pines. Even on mule deer hunts in the pines, I think orange/red is a good idea. On whitetail hunts, where most hunters are glassing, I wear camo. The orange camo is a great option for both adults and kids.

SO glad your dog is ok. Where is the 24 hour clinic? Union Hills and what crossroad? One of my dogs encountered a toad while we were hiking around Greer one summer. I am not sure what types of toads live in the White Mts. It looked like a desert toad. The toad shot out some type of liquid from around it's eye. It was a long time ago, but think it was red in color. My dog had it in his mouth. He dropped it right away. We used all of our water to flush his mouth out as best we could. We still had to hike back. The dog was about 50 pounds and I carried him back to the truck. flushed his mouth more and then took him to a vet in Pinetop. My dog didn't react at all like your dog. So, the fluid the toad shot out of his eye must not have been toxic. But, I had always heard that toads can kill dogs, so I didn't know what the symptoms would be. Oh and yes, people do try to ingest toad venom to get high. Back in the late 80s when I was in college, I ran into a few folks who smoked toad venom. Seems awfully risky to me.

Nice - I can't wait to get back to Alaska. I spent some time along the Andreafski River and on the Yukon.

I have never seen frame sizes in XL. Usually, they are either inches or cm. My current bike has a 19 inch frame. It has been years since I have looked at Mt. Bikes, so maybe sizing designations have changed.

What size frame?

Five year old Yellow lab, 70 pounds. We feed her just under 1 cup, three times a day. She has been getting Taste of the Wild, Sierra Mountain with roasted lamb. Her coat is by far the nicest of all the dogs I know. Very shiny and no smell at all, never. Cost is $50 per 30 pound bag. We fed her Natural Balance for about 3 years. It was a very good product, less expensive. But, when Dick Van Patten sold it to Del Monte, the food was no longer made in the USA and the formula changed. It smelled awful, so we made the change to Taste of the Wild.

We were just north of Payson on Thursday. They aren't ripe yet. Some bushes had a few ripe ones, most were still green or slightly red. I picked about 20 of them and less than half were sweet. I thought more would be ready. I would say 2 more weeks.

Beautiful ram. Congratulations.

^^ Awesome.

This was a great story, but I got lost a little bit towards the end. Does the puppy still need a home? If so, is she still up here in the Valley or back down south?

A former student of mine, who will be going to MIT in September, does webpages. She is a great kid and very reasonable. She can use the money for college - MIT is not cheap! She is smart, but not so smart that you can't have a normal conversation with her. She did alot of webpage stuff for our school. Her name is Nina and here is her website with information. If you contact her, tell her you got her name from her high school counselor........ nerdlynet.com and can be reached there or at nerdlynet1@gmail.com.

^^^ Prices Reduced - Someone should be getting ready for dove season......

So true - 35 years ago when I took the class we had to drive into central Phoenix and take it at an old grade school. I wonder how my Dad even found out about the class - no computers or internet. I still have my books. Not sure why I have two of them.....black and white, written with a typewriter.

Absolutely! And I also think it should be mandatory for kids over 14 and adults. Everyone should go through the class at least once.

This is hard to watch, as i always want to see the deer or elk survive. But, if my dog was lost and out in the wild and had to survive, I would be happy if she could take down a deer.

How true. I've been a counselor for 20 plus years. I have never had a kid not qualify, but, then again, I have been on top of things. Rules have changed for the class of 2016 and beyond as to what it takes to get cleared for Div 1. See this link - http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/eligibility_center/Quick_Reference_Sheet.pdf Check the 48H form at your son's high school. It will list all of the approved courses offered at his high school. If the class is on the 48H form it is approved, there is nothing to worry about. But, not every course offered by a high school is on their approved list of classes. Ten of the 16 classes have to be completed before senior year starts. Plan early, he'll be fine. Good luck!

Congrats Keith. Should be fun!

So sorry for your loss. To lose a dog is very hard, I can only imagine how hard it was to see this happen in the outdoors - a place we all love and feel safe in.

I'm just checking to see if anyone has a youth 22 rifle they would like to sell. I am looking to buy one for my nephew for his birthday. I would prefer a bolt action, but a semi auto is ok. I do not want a single shot as he would likely get frustrated squirrel hunting......... Thanks so much, Sam

I agree, I think that a single shot will teach good shooting habits. But, his dad and I have talked about it and we would rather get him a bolt action or a semi auto. Thanks for the offers on the guns - I sent everyone a pm.
