    Tick Tock

    Well never mind then. I can see why people would be frustrated with that. I wouldn't have used a card that expired that soon but I can see where some might not have the option. Still, just because they have been somewhat efficient for the past two draws does not mean they are committed to being so moving forward. I would rather them ensure it is CORRECT rather than fast. If they can do BOTH, well then that's just a cherry. Sadly people are relying on a precedent and not a commitment for the time frame.

    Tick Tock

    I would think those whith expired cards would know they are expired and would go in and update their cards in the portal. Unless they have locked the portals somehow you can go in at any time and update your info. I don't know about those that applied without the portal though. I use the portal so I know nothing about the other method and if you can still update your card. Personally I hope they ALL expire so I can get drawn. Yes, I am selfish like that. I don't really like any of you so I really don't care what happens to your apps.

    I like the wait. I wish it would go back to the end of March. Prolongs my hope and delays my disappointment.

    Garmin Inreach Mini

    these are awesome. I used mine in NM this year when we were miles form any service. One of the really cool features is if your buddy has one too you can communicate back and forth through the messaging feature and it doesn't count against your text count. And the downloaded maps on earthmate were a lifesaver as well as no other mapping service worked where we were at.

    2021 Draw

    My good friend's wife works at AZGFD. I called her and she said they have confidence that everything will be up and working smoothly and will have all results out on time for the deer draw.

    Youth cow unit 22 help

    No, I am not going to be THAT guy. So my niece got drawn for 22 youth cow starting Oct 9th. We have a new cabin in Strawberry so I plan to be hitting the area pretty good this summer learning it as best I can. Never hunted the area. My questions... I have never been on or helped a on a youth hunt. In mid oct are the elk in 22 usually still talking? Is this more of a spot and stalk type hunt, bog open glassing, calling them in? Just trying to get an idea what to expect and how to prepare her. I will be her "guide" as nobody else in the family has any experience. Oh, and I feel free to just shoot me your cow elk honey hole coordinates so I don't have to spend 6 pages rationalizing why you should....lol

    Youth cow unit 22 help

    Yup. Hopefully she gets another chance this year! Does your daughter hunt? If so we need to get them out together to see the madness that ensues.

    Wife and I doubled yesterday

    He used to be proud of it too until this bunch of yahoos on CWT started saying it wasn't a "REAL" gun. At least it is a pistol...

    Housing in Payson

    Not in Az. You can still evict in Az. You just have to take one extra step IF the tenant cries covid AND delivers proper notice. They still have to prove it or they are evicted. The federal issue also only affects properties that are financed under federally backed loans. Im certain there are some evictions delayed but i havent seen a single one stopped because of crting covid.

    Longest two weeks of the year

    My portal accurately reflects my apps. My wife's on the other hand.... She was put in for an elk point only and nothing else. Her portal shoes no elk point, no elk app, but a random antelope app. I am hoping it is just a "place holder" type deal but we will see and we will get it sorted.

    Digital Calipers?

    For reloading? The harbor freight will do you just fine. Many youtube videos showing that they are extremely accurate up to .01 to the Mitutoyo. If that is "good enough" for you then save yourself $100. I can't even fathom dealing with thousandths of an inch in reloading(although I have no doubt some on here do) If you want "perfect" get the Mitutoyo

    $130 processing (charged deer price) and $3 per pound for sausage. But they did give a cash discount.

    Aoudad 2021

    Just got my meat back from Gilbert Butchery. Thought I would give them a try as they are right around the corner. We had half the meat made into breakfast sausage and half into chorizo. All I can say is WOW. Sheep butt tastes AWESOME as chorizo. I HIGHLY recommend it. Cooking up the breakfast sausage now. Edit: Breakfast sausage is amazing as well. Gilbert Butchery did a great job. They are not cheap though.

    Salvaged velvet muley euro

    So I had a small muley rack that was pretty much wrecked. I cut off the horns as a keepsake and wrote it off as a total loss. On a whim I threw it out to Adam to see if he wanted to try and do something with it and he said he would give it a shot . We really had nothing to lose. I grabbed a replica skull from my neighbor and sent it all over to Adam to do his work. Low and behold a few days later he calls with the bright idea of trying to put velvet back on it. Sure, why not. after a few days he sends me some pics and darnit if he didn't do a pretty swell job of salvaging a throw away into a decent little wall hanger. Now this is nothing you would see on Houston's wall, but it fits just fine with my other poverty trophies. Besides, this was all about Adams work and not about the rack. Thanks for the awesome work Adam! From now on I am calling him Big Velvet instead of Big Browns! Before pic All cleaned up: A little woodwork (my contribution): On the wall: With friends:

    Longest two weeks of the year

    Hard to say if it will be only two weeks this year though. With the new system does anyone really know how long it will be? Maybe sooner. Maybe longer.
