Recently purchased the long needed Browning gun safe at S. warehouse and have no need for the old Homak small gun cabinet. It's steel with 2 coke machine type locks on it. I have 1 key left to lock em. It bolts to a wall or floor closet type. I think I paid $100.00 for it at Walmart years ago. It holds 5-6 rifles and has a small shelve built in at the top. 30.00 you pick it up and it's yours. I live in Gilbert near Higley and Germain. Home all weekend doing yard work. Any time after 5:00 Fri. Send me an e-mail to arrange. I'll reply ASAP. Other wise it just goes in my shed. Dan

Mistake, it was Jerry and Betty Donnie was the son.

Cool. whats the hours and pay these days. I used to ride my bicycle out there Tues Thurs from Brown and C Club back in the days when Don and Betty owned the original Beeline trap and skeet. Think it was $3.25 hour. They were the nicest people. Many fun hours watching the apache helicopters train and throwing shoot at lizards in those old trap boxes. Had that machine down pat loading doubles was alaways thee funnest. Until the puller gave you the helicopter resting there finger on the button. Funny cause the shooters would know the puller screwed up when birds came out to many almost instantly. Thanks for bringing back good memories. Dan

Question: Recently bleached a skull from a WT I had in my freezer and was wondering if anyone knows the rules on how long tags are to be attached to the harvested deer. Obviosly if you tag them thru the gambrel its over unless you make a coat rack or something out of their legs and want what looks like a reciept left on the thing. Does the tag have to remain attached to the anlters? Is it illegal to remove them and dispose of them? Taxidermists I've used normally all staple the tag to the back of the mounts. Maybe thats just a courtesy thing and helps them identify ownership. I'll wee what the WT community has to say on this topic. Thanks, Dan

Rembrant thanks for looking,.. I figured I would leave it on until I take it to a taxidermist to fix one tip broken off a third point on one side. Atleast then it will be logged. Those tags are tuff it withstood the boiling water and bleach and the unit # along with other printed data is clear as can be. Is there any certain stain that you recommend to touch up a little of the bases that are bleached? Thanks, again Dan

Deerslam, I have the Justone pack I bought 2 years ago for 200.00 at Sportsman warehouse. Kinda pricee. And they are really nice packs but just like the name I have used it "Just one time". On a 10 day back pack trip into unit 32 in 2003. It was extremely nice packing the boned deer and head out with the rifle in the scabbard. Hands free. It is only good for getting lots of gear in and out and thats all. Day to day hiking with a tripod and all the other equipment for a full day outing,.. withstanding who knows what kinda weather it is useless. To big. I recently purchased a Kelty pack from sportsman warehouse for a 100.00 and it works just as well. I packed a boned out WT and head plus my tripod and some Dec gear and it held up good. The Justone pack fits your back comfortably and has all kinds of room. It is designed for serious back country hunting. I will probably be using it again for hopefully packing out a bull elk this year. And hope it holds up to that weight. Recommend bringing a day pack with you if you get one. Dan

Now that is an awesome way to spend a day. Hope to see a video next time. Anyone remember that buck that charged that guy on A F videos. Dan

There is a large rv storage facility right outside of Flag on west side of road. You can see it from the highway. Kendrick park/peak area up route 180 is a good area to start. Seen lots of bulls in there. Dan

Is that possibly another set of eyes in the tree behind him? They seem pretty far apart though. Nice buck! Dan

Another way of saying the cream of the crop? I don't know a friend found an awesome arrowhead one time and from that day on it was called the Crem Dela Crem. Long story. Dan

Treestandman when you comin over to my house to score my sheds? I have massive sheds and a quite a few are really worth scoring. Plan on me providing a midday barbque and a couple cold beers or uncle mikes for the training lesson. Dan

Your member No. 666 is a bad sign. Any info cut put a massive curse on the providers. Unit 33 is a Crem Dela Crem. Thats it. Dan

Bowsniper heres somethin that may interest you. Dan http://www.bigtripodguide.com/out.html?t=1...2FCcat20057.jsp

Nice shed,.... what unit holds the mass? Dan

6A Muzzleloader Bull 2nd choice,...and 32 Nov WT,...hunts overlap this is gonna take some serious gasoline and vacation time. There goes my 10 day WT horse packin it in. Cut down to 4 or more days. This overlap has never happened I new it would sooner or later. 13 Goat pts"Someday" Have fun,... Dan

Never purchased any scent lock clothing myself. What really happens to that new charcoal stuff once you wash it? Does it really last? The forhead pouring sweat and not wiping it on your sleeves is the hard part after conquering a hill. Or even worse the rim of the hat getting soaked. I usually break green off junipers etc, and rubb the heck out of them into my clothes as I'm walking or when sitting. It's called Cedar lock. Good topic, because we all know we smell like shoot to deer in one way or another. Of course some deer probably have better eye sight and think man that dudes been beat with ugly caliber stick.. Dan

I'm going on my 19th year in machine shop and I finally get 5 weeks vacation on my 20th dang I can't wait. Amazing my career thing I chose in high school was a smoke jumper. Never made it to the original dream. One of those had to pay rent and survive after momma gave me the boot in 11th grade. Still walking and breathing always enjoying my home state. Draw Draw Draw Draw,..... Dan

How are birds destroying your garden greens? and not catepillars, rabbits, gophers or other insects Sounds pretty bizarr. Put out a quail block ($9.86 Walmart) away from the garden. Dan

Anyone read Deer (18) you can purchase an elk and buff tag if drawn AZGFD wants to remove them from the area. Sure take a big truck to load all 3,..... in could you imagine. Dan

CHD your bummin,... maybe this year when you hunt Coues Whitetail they'll all be standing there going fuuuuu fuuuuu ,.. and stomping their front legs up and down at you. Dan

Are those cams on the 2 trees in the background?? Did they get pictures also?? Nice pics. Dan

The willow fire pushed em out of the Madazhells into lower areas, we spotted a small herd at sunflower last year hitting that big water hole on some private property south west of bushnell. Dan

Fished from Tuesday thru Monday after Easter and caught "Crappie None" a lot of nice Lg mouth off spinners and worms. Waters still to cold it rained a few and the wind is heck in a pontoon. Going back tonite thru Sun will post an update Sun nite. Saw 2 whitetail and 4 javelinas hiking off 3 bar road 1 day thry were feeding like crazy. 1 gila monster to. Dan

Yep, easy to relate to whats been said. I prefer to get to an area in the dark preferrebly. Glass, glass then move and glass some more. I'm usually pooring sweat behind my (back pack and forehead or hat) and when I sit down that sucks if a deer is around that don't like a stinky. But shoot happens. (couple of silver bullets the nite before doesn't help sometimes) On a different note: Yet happenning at the same time to every one thats hunting,.. SCENT LOCKERS do they really hold in the smell of serious sweating. I have not known many people using them. I was going to start a new topic but it ties in with this one pretty good. Be waiting for feedback. TGIF Dan H.

What happens in Mexico stays in Mexico!!!!! I'm jealous Dan
