    looking for a good diesel mechanic

    Where are you located? Give Chris at Rowdy Racks a call (Chris's cell # 480*221*3384) he works on a variety of diesels. He just moved his shop from AJ to Mesa. I have never heard a bad thing said about him. https://www.facebook.com/RowdyRacksLLC

    G&F notice on unit 29 and 32

    Maybe something can be worked out with the landowners. I have a hunt in 32 so I'll start scouting in other areas since the unit is new to me.

    truck advise

    I know that Nate over at Strictly Diesel has gotten about 18mpg on the highway but his is a 2WD. He keeps a record of each tank and he said it has worked out to an average of 16.55mpg over the last 48 tanks and that's all driving including city and towing.

    2015 Draw

    It a screw up with the Spring Application Process, which has caused a lot of grief for people so far. Bottom line is you do not need to purchase a 2015 license yet, just put down your 2014 number. When and if you get drawn you will need to have a 2015 license but don't purchase one until your 2014 expires. Licenses are now good for 365 days from the day you made the purchase which is good for those who don't purchase a license every year or maybe just bought one for Dove Season only to have it expire four months later, now it is good for a year.

    New World record typical?

    That's a huge deer. Just asking but wouldn't a typical be a 4x4 and this one a non-typical since it looks like a 5x4?

    Watson lake

    This is from the G&F Weekly Report last week. WATSON – Trout were last stocked the week of Feb. 3. Largemouth bass should be feeding as well as bluegill. Look for large holdover trout from previous stockings to become active since the lake has filled and the water temperatures are dropping. Trout stocking will resume in October in conjunction with the Prescott Great Outdoors event at Watson Lake. If you fish Watson and are having luck, please e-mail me at gcummins@azgfd.gov so I can share your successes with others.

    How do you fight a bad mechanic?

    There you go. I'd cut your losses and get the truck out of there.

    Arizona feril hogs

    Right at closing time no doubt. Pretty much. It's like last day hunting and you will settle for whatever walks into the crosshairs Pics or it didn't happen Oh gawd no. My youngest brother was famous for that. We always had to watch him toward the end of the nigh since he couldn't hold his liquor and women would literally drag him off somewhere. One time he woke up in the back seat of a car in summertime about 9am on a Saturday in a subdivision in Scottsdale and walked for 20 minutes until he found a Circle K and called a taxi to come home. I still raz him about that.

    tipping outfitters

    Respectfully disagree. Many hunters save and save for a once in a lifetime hunt and have also made plenty of personal sacrifices to purchase the gear they have. I've been on hunts where the guide had $100 spotting scope and made a point to say how he needed some new hunting boots and talked about former clients who gave him expensive gear and went on to admire my (rented) bino's wishing he could buy some like that. Don't get me wrong there are some class acts out there guiding and I'd imagine they do little more than break even or make a small profit. But I've also seen a few that blindside the client with other last minute costs which can and do add up. When a hunt is advertised at a fixed price then that should be the price. It's disheartening for a hunter when the guide brings more help into the camp and at the end says that they are there not getting paid and say things like the last client loved having them there and tipped them a couple of Benjamin's. I think some guides can't wait for the hunt to be over so they can see how much of a tip they get and in their case it's never enough and usually not the experience the client looked for getting patronized every moment of the day. Guides who run their business or judge the clients on getting tipped will be unhappy and the client will see through it and may not return, if he or she has that dream to do that particular hunt again. Guided hunts for some is akin to a kid going to a State Fair for a night with a ticket book who is probably not going to ride the same ride twice.

    Local Company that Cleans Optics?

    I have not seen one. It isn't hard to do yourself. I use a can of air, an optics brush and also some eyeglass/lens wipes. The air you can get most anywhere and the wipes can be bought in most pharmacy's in the section where they sell stuff for contact lenses. I buy them by the box at Walmart either Zeiss brand or Bauch&Lomb, just depends which ones they have in stock. You can probably get a lens pen at Sportsmans or Bass Pro, etc. Just call and ask to speak to someone on the optics department. Most manufacturers also off this service but this time of year they may be backed up. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/202075-REG/Celestron_93575_LensPen_Tool.html http://www.walgreens.com/q/eyeglass-lens-wipes
