Some are lucky enough to have an understanding boss and give us more time off. I call it a huntcation. Time to get far away from the city and work to enjoy the solitude and beauty of Arizona and test yourself. I grew up on the outskirts of NYC and back then my solitude was spent in the marsh of the Great South Bay. I wear glasses and enjoy glassing but don't experience any problems.

That's a great story. Congrats all around are in order.

Adam Lets do this!

I would love to shoot it. Maybe we can get together sometime after the holidays. Those are some impressive ballistics. I can bring a boring 375 H&H and a 45-70. Maybe we can do a Big Bore Coues GTG.

Very cool, a bucket list hunt for me.

I have only been hunting sixteen a since 2012 but it seems like the area I hunt has more and more donkeys every year. They seem to be non-stop eating machines and are even tearing up the paloverde trees so I wonder if they are competing with the deer for food. I have only seen a few deer but I know they are there as I see plenty of sign. I have not seen any lions but I do see tracks from time to time.

Congrats Jim, Ed did a great job.

Wow that's fantastic, Merry Christmas G&F Style.

My guess would be a 45-70 Marlin.

How did he end up with seven? Guess I need to make a trip there one day.

These types of memoribilia fluctuate wildly. Since there were 2500 made doesn't make it a collector.

Nice buck, glad you got the accuracy part figured out.

Do you now have a 4WD?

Hope it turns ups. I know first hand how that stings. My Dan Wesson fell out of my holster east of Roosevelt Lake 30+ years ago.

Javelina are susceptible to a long list of diseases like rabies, brucellosis, leptospirosis and a few others.

Trust me, there are Javelina all the way from Williams in Northern AZ to 150 miles south of the Mexican border.

You're not the first member to do that.

This Saturday? I'd like to get a new shotgun for my Sandhill Crane hunt next week. I have a Model 12 but it is from the very early 50's and I don't think I shoot shoot steel shot through it. The Stoeger 3000 seems like the way to go.

A few weeks ago I was on my way to Payson about 4AM and about 10 miles north of Fountain Hills here comes a car southbound in the north bound lanes. Yesterday I encountered another vehicle headed north on the southbound side at the Saguaro Lake turnoff. Pretty crazy stuff.

That's awesome.

Casino is what I said to my son afterwards even though we were probably 12 or more miles from it. There are a few homes between the Casino and the turnoff but who knows, defintley impaired.

If you are seeing them at monsoon season they are more than likely Spadefoot Toads.

Nose bleed territory, if you have the cajones to get up there.

Yes, Claude Rains sneaker.

Interesting topic. My son bought a Poulan a couple of years ago, been in the shop twice for not running. I blame the crappy gas we are stuck with. He shelved it and bought a Husky last month from Tractor Supply. Ran great on the $8 a quart premix but stalls out on the pump gas with 50:1 oil he mixed. For Christmas I will get him a carrying case for it and a case of the premixed stuff.
