Doesn't take a contractor or contractor pricing to change out a toilet float valve or replace worn weather stripping(just examples). You are correct about quality though which is why I have been asking for referrals for a "good" handyman. And yes they do exist. I have worked with several over the years. Mostly old timers that just want something to do that are willing to do honest work for an honest price. This is not for my personal home.

If the spot is being sold online, then it was never a "secret" to begin with. Not trying to pile on, but dude, get over it. Just like someone showed the spot to you, someone else showed it to everyone else. Come on over to 4b where the real trophies are and you will forget all your worries....

Still looking for guys if you have any recommendations.

Looking for something to be created or do you already have your design and just needing made?

If the "good spots" are getting ruined, will that by nature cause other areas to become the new "secret spots"? Won;t the animals just move to create new "secret spots"? Isn't that how it has always worked? Then the podcasts will be sending all the internet warriors to the same spot that is already saturated. Not defending them, just saying it is not the end of the world. And it is always cyclical anyway. Once all these people go to the "secret spot" with 50 other people and fail, they won't go back and word will get out that that spot sucks now. A little time later it will be good again. OR...it could just be bad luck and timing. I have been to an area that had tons of guys at the same time one year and NOBODY the next year. But, yes, I do agree that the interweb and podcst type info has done some damage to good areas. It has also done a lot of good in spreading our sport. I guess you have to take the good with the bad. Circle of life......lol

Other than 4b which is the premierr trophy elk unit in Az, I always hunt sucky areas so I have not seen any difference in the last many years. In my OPINION,another BIG difference I have noticed is the proliferation of UTVs roaming about. It has become a cancer in our sport. I am a firm believer that the introduction of the utv has made hunting "easier" or more accessible (if in beleif only) to the "average joe" hunter so now they can go further and longer. Thankfully I get OFF the road so I don;t have to worry about 90% of those guys.... As a disclaimer, I DO use a utv, but only to get to a trail head or when I am toting kids.

I can think of several others that would FAR exceed you in negative reputation....lol Now if there was a PIA ranking...you would own it.

Because Tucson sucks....lol

I bought too many and have a few of these leftover. Still $5. I am in Gilbert

I am not a big time digi-scoper, but I have used my phone, a small digital camera, and we have a setup for my wife's nice DSLR. For convenience, the phone is nice. It takes "good enough" pics and video. The main thing I dislike is the weight of the phone making it difficult for any adjustments without losing the subject. The small digital is nice but not as convenient as the phone(obviously). Better zoom and pic control. Lighter and "easier" to use. Wife's DSLR is a pain(my opinion), but she really likes it. I am not into photography so it is just not worth the effort to me. She doesn't mind the setup. Pics are good. It's like a HUGE lens on her fancy camera. She likes it.

Father, teacher, hunter, all around good dude http://gf.me/u/kc5n4s

I posted this in the other thread as well, but I thought it would fit in well here. My dad found this on our property in Aravaipa. General consensus was a lion kill. Shame.

We lost my mother last september to cancer. This is hitting the family hard. Never a good time for cancer but the timing of this makes it a little worse.

Sounds more like 4b than 6a....

I don't really have any "dream" hunt to target a specific animal...but I just want one of my daughters to go on an elk hunt. That would be MY dream hunt.

I have found a few, but this is my favorite(found by my dad)

Good grief Houston, THAT is some redneck engineering at it's best! I just peed a little laughing......

Need a recommendation for pistol barrel threading. Anywhere in East or West Valley(phoenix)

Looks like a reflection on the window

Who's all going this year? I think I need to do a few laps around Aravaipa to get ready....lol

I have owned both. My Toyota has been my favorite truck ever. I was a Nissan guy before the Toyota. They cost so much more because people will pay it. I don't think I wouldnt hesitate to buy a good Nissan truck either though.

I just tried NUUN tabs and just about spewed. What kind of toilet water do you guys normally drink that makes this stuff taste "good"???? lol Are there any tabs or powders that ACTUALLY taste good?

All of mine shoot stupid.....

Browning buckmark .22 most barrels I have seen are $200
