    San Carlos success

    Congrats that's a nice looking bird, spurs even. None of the ones I have shot in the past had anything much past 1/2". Maybe I need to look into hunting SC instead of driving through it to my usual spot.

    AR-15 build?

    Or a 6720 if you can find one.

    And I think you have to put in two years ahead of time.

    How many Decades ?

    I like it. Took my first deer on my 4th hunt in 1975, deer taken with 30-06 SPFD 03 built between the wars (WWI &WWII) Lyman 4X scope was 10 years older than I was. 8 tracks were pretty new at the time of my first hunt. I remember 8 Tracks back in 65, sure you're not thinking of casettes?

    Out of state hunts

    Where'd you go? How much meat is on a cow vs a bull? I'd love to kill a buffalo. Bulls can weigh twice the weight of a cow which usually max out about 1100 to 1200 pounds.
  6. I'd say that's being innovative.

    New neighbors

    That is because of the way their feathers are designed so they can be "silent". Ravens are possibly the noisiest, I has a falcon pass within 10' of me after diving down from about a 300 yard perch chasing some quail. Seconds before it reached me I could hear it cutting through the air, sounded like a jet. He was horizontal in fill tuck.

    AR-15 build?

    I would look at a Colt LE6920, a bit higher than your budget but they retain their valve and will pretty much shoot any ammo reliably including inexpensive Wolf and aren't finicky about magazines.
  9. Not here. 22 Centerfire hasn't been legal for a very long time, maybe since the mid 90's.
  10. Devistating news, I wish him well.

    webster's definition of assault rifle

    Probably after 1986 when the term Assault Rifle began to be used with frequency. Now there are "people" who bandi about over the term just as there are those who have to correct everyone who refers to a AR Magazine as a (Banana) Clip and get all worked up. Quite amusing to say the least, quite amusing.

    Bckpage is gone

    And affordable.
  13. No, typically small base dies are used for reloading ammo to be used in some semi-autos.

    No cams on water by G&F.....coming soon.

    Might just as well sit back for a year and see how it shakes out. I don't have any but they are fine in my book.

    Getting ready

    Go light and get a Jet Boil or just take a small pot to boil water and make a small fire.

    Getting ready

    My guess is a bottle of Red. I have a part bottle of Bolla Chianti 2014 I am going to finish this evening with a nice salad. Haven't decided to go with it though.

    Sold

    LOL, thanks gents but they are just there to give a some idea of the case size. Probably had the 66 since the early 80's.

    Sold

    This would also make a great AR Case. Certainly someone can use it.

    Jon Boat size for Rim Lakes

    The battery will add 50#'s, maybe more.

    ..

    Yes. If you have specific questions call the Heber Office for the Forest Service, 928-535-7300. I usually call around this time of the year to find out when the roads open and when I can access the lake.

    Fluorescent Yellow Garlic Scent Power Eggs with a dab of Mike'sTrout Gel Scent. Fished two feet off the bottom, medium size single split shot. 4 and 6 pound PLINE Floroclear with a single GamaKatsu #8 Baitholder hook. I use both Floroclear clear and yellow florescent. Both seem to work as good but the clear is really hard to see when you are fighting a fish. These hooks are very sharp and hold an edge. I have caught probbaly over 100 fish with some of these hooks and they are still sharp enough to stick you when you least expect it. I use Pfleuger and Shimano Ultra-light reels with Shimano and Shakespeare rods between 4'8" and 5'. These seem to work well for me and I have used them to teach young kids how to fish as they are light and manueverable and easy to master. Yet the reels are very smooth and the rods cast well but are just about right for fish of this size. Casting about 40' off the bank into about 10' of water. There was very little action on the surface, probably since there aren't any insects yet. Fish were in great condition and healthy but none of them had much of anything in their gut. Water is very clear since there has been zero runoff. Now is the time to go if you can find the time before it gets stocked. Fish averaged 8oz each. Yesterdays catch was 2.12oz and today was 2.15oz gutted.
