    Recovery Winch For F350

    In the east valley maybe Bullet Proof Diesel near Falcon Field or Chris Rollins over at Rowdy Racks who has a shop behind Caswells in Mesa. Also Chris at Desert Rat in Mesa has done some work for me on my F250 too. He is a good guy and honest.

    Can you find it!

    Go on one of their tours and you will most likely see one. Many times you can see them on the bluffs across from the marina. Sometimes you can also see them at Saguaro near the narrows.

    Woods Canyon Lake?

    Use lightweight line like 6# test. One the bottom, a single power egg, #6 hook about 18" -36" above a splitshot. Any color, orange, white or green, just try until you see what they prefer that day. They will hit it on the way down a lot of times. Once the line sinks all the way reel in the slack and set the drag. Bobber, either a small worm or mealworm about 18" to 48" and a #4 - #10 single hook. I don't use treble hooks because they swallow them too far. For lures from shore I like Castmasters, Super Dupers, Rooster Tails and Mepps.

    AZGFD Ammunition Testing Event Today

    Seeing the amount of lead dispersed really makes an impression and makes me rethink the use of similarly constructed bullets for use on edible game. When Barnes first came out with the X Bullet I loaded up some 120's for my 7 Mag at around 3350. I shot a 3x3 in 29 at about 200 or so yards, way before people had rangefinders. He was feeding away from me and facing uphill at about 20 feet lower in elevation on an opposite hill. The bullet entered just below the shoulder about 3" from the spine. He collapsed like a sack of potatoes and there was only a brownie sized piece of meat that was damaged.

    What was your most memorable Az Hunt

    I can pretty much remember all of my hunts. Probably 50% of them were total solo hunts and some were concluded with me taking game which were reverent and fulfilled a deep sense of accomplishment, even though I was alone. I think though that the ones that were more meaningful to me where ones where I contributed to with my skill and perseverance which resulted in another taking game. Some of those were my kids first deer on the JR Kaibab hunt and my sons first turkey hunt and assisting a friend on his first turkey hunt.

    Blue Fin tuna gone bad ...

    Amazing prices. Guess that is due in part to the price of diesel dropping.

    Shooting

    Yup, State lands will be closed until we get some rain. The prickly pear pads in 22 and 23 were shrivled up and it is really dry out there. The bear opener is close and hunting is OK but target shooting is way too risky right now. Under the right conditions a spark could set a fire off that could overtake you before you had a chance to pack up and get out. I understand your concern about public ranges. A couple of years ago a dad was shooting with his 8 or 9 yo kid at the bench next to me and the kid had a little bearcat. After shooting it with his dad the dad moved to the next bench and was doing some other shooting. When a cease fire was called the kid laid the revolver down, pointed in my direction. I calmly walked over and pointed it downrange and explained to him why. The dad then came over and scolded the poor kid saying don't ever let someone touch our guns loud enough for me to hear.

    Snowflake to Canyon Lake??

    Need good ground clearance and low flowing Tonto Creek on that leg, right? I was up there last weekend and the creek is bone dry. Fishcreek hill can be a pain if you have a motorhome, it's pretty tight in some places.

    When you call leave a message. I have this little thing called voicemail.
  13. I will be staying in Manatou. Thinking of bringing some ultra-light tackle and looking for suggestions.

    VX3I 8.5x25x56

    Call them. They can usually put any reticle you want in. They used to do it (for a small charge) all the time for guys who wanted a target dot or to convert scope adjustments from friction to clicks.

    Rifle stock makeover

    I like the way it came out. I agree with the thought of waiting to bed it.

    Nice detail but almost impossible to distinguish between the different shades of colors.
