    Wolf or Coyote

    It's all wolf, big body, neck and has the muzzle features. At least we now have another means to control them in AZ.

    Snowmobiler Shoots Moose

    Moose are know to be agressive and there are lots of attacks each year. Hard to put myself in his position.

    HELP!! NEED TIRES!!

    My son has a set on his Colorado and they have been on there for about 2 1/2 years. He called me yesterday to say he got a flat and the top of the sidewall had cracked in a bunch of places. He couldn't find the paperwork. I bought them somewhere on the Westside of town at Tire Warehouse so I ended up getting a new one at Discount. They have been fine until yesterday but one of his co-workers said he has had two do the same thing. I was a little bummed because they had some good reviews at the time. I hope he can find the paperwork so I can at least get a break on another tire.
  5. I like the Burris Signature ZEE rings but have used the Leupold and Talley rings without ant complaints.

    Late buddy request 37b

    That sounds like a lot of hunts I have been on with my son. For me, as was for you, I feel more rewarded helping another hunter fill their tag and have eaten tag soup a few times trying to get him a shooting opportunity and into position when I could have made a clean shot in a couple of seconds as he struggles to see the animal or just get on target but I have zero regrets.

    As in years past I will be pig hunting.

    Whats in your holster ?

    G22. For plinking I put the 9mm barrel in. For camping I leave the 40 Cal barrel in and when the spirit moves me I put in the 357 Sig barrel.

    AR stuff for sell

    Bump for a great deal. If it doesn't sell as a package I'm be interested in the sling and Mag Pouches.

    Who's going out on the rifle hunt?

    HaHa, story of my life. Good Luck that is a good area, looking forward to pictures.

    I'd be more than willing to "Tag" along especially considering how much you have contributed to the site but I'm bound for 16A after lunch. (Crossing Fingers)

    Who's going out on the rifle hunt?

    I'll be on my way to 16A early Friday afternoon and maybe staying until Monday. I will be using an AR in 223. Good luck to everyone and be safe. I agree with EMR about keeping an eye open for Rattle Snakes. This warm weather may bring them out.
  14. Very good news to hear and best of luck to Mr White on his recovery.

    Sometimes you just have to buy the most tire you can afford and hope for the best.

    Bald Eagle photos

    Really nice pictures and I never get tired of seeing them. I have enjoyed watching them at Woods Canyon Lake in the summer stealing fish from the Ospreys. I wish the one I see by Bass Pro would develop a taste for Cormorants.

    You remind me of my brother. That is all he fishes with although I did buy him a Garcia Record Reel last year. RIP Mr Cabela.

    Same weekend as General Javelina also.
  21. I believe that in 2005 the front clips changed but a lot of guys swapped them out on the older trucks to make them look like the 2005's which could be the case as the headlights look wrong for a 2000-2003 model but the 2000-2001 headlights are crap and don't give very much light so most of the owners have upgraded them to a new style.
  22. I am a member of the Arizona Powerstroke Group Forum so if we are pretty sure it is an Excursion let me know and I'll let the other members know and they can see if it is one that someone recognizes or maybe one of the Shops in the East Valley know of it. It shouldn't be too hard to track down as there are only a handful of shops that work on these and there are not a lot of them running around.
  23. I downloaded the picture and enlarged it but I was not able to make out the front grill. Any idea what year it is?

    Binocular Choice

    Vortex really aren't in the same league as Zeiss but they are a great glass and good buy. They are close to the top of the "second string" binos. Leica, Swarovski and Zeiss are still the Gold Standard but if you don't have that kind of budget you can pretty much justify the rest of what's out there.

    Which binos

    Read this. Especially the past about EXIT PUPIL. It is important to understand Field of View (FOV) to expect what you are going to see at a given distance but it is really insignificant on higher power binoculars since you are using them to routinely dissect the terrain at distances which usually begin at 500 yards and can exceed 2000 yards unless you handicap yourself by using a power less than 15. You are using them to find game that is bedded, in shadows or slowly feeding. Using a lower power the FOV will be greater, but it can lead you to glance over an area faster. Think of magnification in the same terms as horsepower and you'll be OK. When you are out either scouting or hunting and deer are "out n' about" you should have no problem seeing then without bino's at up to 300 yards. The "Big Eyes" really start to shine once you find a vantage point in an area that looks good. http://www.chuckhawks.com/binocular_basics.htm
