I might have to go. Haven't been since most of you were born and only went a few times but I picked it up after a few hours.

I'll take it. Clean out your inbox.

I wonder how Sunrise is doing. I can remember back in the day skiing there on Thanksgiving.

It's been a few years but I try to stop in and say hello whenever I'm back home.

I saw on the Weather Channel one of the resorts in California got double that and is open.

Can you post the code on the barrel?

Remington had a run of those marked Varmint Special, in various calibers.

The one in the pic with the bolo.

Just for your own piece of mind you should get them appraised, then post them with an asking price. Percieved values fluctuate wildly at the drop of a hat.

I guarantee something will be different. It always is. Agree.

I have the same one. I cut the legs off though a couple of years ago since I don't camp with it. That is a great price. I have a smaller beehive on I bought from Casey a few years back. Today I put three chicken thighs in it on a a rack. Seasoned them and added some quartered new potatoes, lemon slices, rosemary, caraway seeds, chopped garlic and ginger, salt and a few inches of water and a tsp of liquid smoke. 350 for 75 minutes and then I'll check it.

I blame the colonizers. Oh and Boomers.

That is a nice buck I would get him mounted.

On the rock to the left in the picture.

When I relocated here in 1976 there were 2.3 million people living here and you could get five acres in AJ for 20-25K, total. There were a lot fewer people and it wasn't hard to find places or game to hunt. There were no GPS's back then so you used a compass and got a Map. 300 yards was a long shot. By the early 90's with the influx of more and more people tags got harder to consistently draw. I can remember when there were 1000 WT tags in 29, and some years you could get a second tag and maybe saw two other camps. Fact is last year AZ population was 7.6 million people living here. There are less areas to hunt, more people doing it and more roads carving into them. Compound that with Social Media and droughts it takes a toll on game numbers.

Nope. But that is a cool picture. I lived in Maine on the border of New Brunswick for many years in the 70's and you wouldn't believe how incredible it was to see. Just lights from farm houses for 100 miles in every direction.

I'm looking forward to it. Who else is going? I am looking to put one on my 700 that I had a brake put on back in 93.

It's very very common because 95% of hunters will never have a mount done. And 95% of them have no clue so things will never change. Nice of you to bring it up. You might want to post a few of your favorite Youtube videos. But hunters will continue to bring in capes and expect miracles.

Off furlough?

What did you torque it to when you put it back together?

My guess is that's Mt Fuji?

Swarovski will replace them for free. Usually they get stretched out and fall off and get lost. I have a spare for whoever buys this.

Left the house at 4:45 this morning and there was a lot of smoke in the air. Was there a house of brush fire? Drove 10 miles to work in Tempe and it was still in the air.

Love the patina on it.

True. I just like to fish and try to do one trip a year with my son out of state each year. I'm old and he has heart failure so we make the best of it.
