I have a 4dr f150 with the 5.0 and I tow my rhino and similar weight just fine up the hills. The big tires really put a strain on the tranny which is likely the issue you are having.

Yup, Harley got the other one. Was pretty traumatic for Easton but he is over it now. He tells everyone that his dog ate his bunny. Harley is doing great. I sent a fun video the other day of the two of them romping in a leaf pile.

Just in time for Easter! Need to re-home our "free range" white bunny. we have had her for a little over three years but we need to move her because our dog is insistent on eating her. She is a fat white girl so I know SOMEONE on here will want her.... We are in Gilbert

I can kill just about anything, as long as it doesn't have a name and eat out of my hand....

I prefer BBQ.... We had almost 30 of them running around the back yard at one time....

I will offer an answer to #8, and it is also a roundabout answer to a few of the others. Many non-hunters believe that they individually, or society as a whole, has "evolved" to where hunting is no longer "necessary". This is a naive fallacy. The "skill" of hunting is as necessary as any other "skill" that could potentially be needed for survival. Why do people garden when vegetables are readily available in the store? Self sufficiency is not something that should ever be forgotten. Dependency is not evolution.

Sun Devil Archery has some great trad gear and arrows...... Just kidding. don;t skimp on the arrows. Get good quality HEAVY arrows and HEAVY points. I like the 4 fletch arrows for traditional.

The guys that applied by themselves have a better chance of these late hits as there will only be a few spots open from declined cards. Unfortunately I am not one of those guys.... congrats on the late present from AZGFD

At least you will have an easy time with birthday presents for the next 18 years....lol

Congrats!! Buck or a doe? I guess you or your wife didn't get the memo about NOT having kids during hunting season...

Any recommendations for someone in the valley, preferably east valley for some minor auto body work?

Wait, I saw this on a COPS show. Go to the office building to pick it up and they arrest you.......lol

No elk or antelope for me. Looks like I will be hunting trail cams this fall.......lol

I never remember which card I used so I have a longer period of false hope while I keep checking all my cards....

Sadly, government gets involved when society's ability to self manage fails. The general philosophy within our society these days is "it is not illegal" so go ahead and do it. Find every loophole and advantage and not just use it, but ABUSE it. I am not directing this at trail cams, but the ATTITUDE of our society. Just because you CAN do something, doesn't always mean you SHOULD do something. The "me" generation is what is causing these things to happen within our government. I love trail cams. I use them regularly. I use them on MY land though. I have no issues with anyone using them anywhere it is legal to do so. The issues I have are with some of the attitudes and actions that go along with SOME of the people who are using them(and UTVs, ATVS, etc etc). I feel the same way about the people who blare their stereo full blast OUT IN THE WOODS. Abuse is the reason the government is stepping in. Just my opinion.

I'll see your praying mantis and raise you a centipede. And how about a roadrunner Both visited me while glassing

How am I supposed to take you seriously when you're literally on the internet as we speak CLEARLY It was a JOKE... But for argument sake a person can easily access the internet without owning a computer. Good thing the draw is coming earlier this year. Some of you guys are wound up a little tight....lol

I'm all for it.Won't affect my hunting one bit. I am old school and don't even own a computer.

I put in for winter sledding this year but didn't get drawn. For those of you who have been successful post up some pics for us seller dwellers.....

Me too. Except instead of a shiny new elk tag I usually just get socks.....

I do agree with Az about the west facing door. When the sun hits the metal panels it radiates in A LOT. With south facing I wouldn't waste my money. If in the future you want to cut out some of the radiating heat you can by the cheap inserts and DIY. I did that on my big garage that faces West and it does help quit a bit with the radiating heat. Overall temp in there is still 5000 degrees though....lol

Do not insulate unless you are insulating and air conditioning the whole space. No benefit at all to only insulate a non-sealed door with nothing else insulated(garage walls and ceilings are typically not insulated). caveat: I have no idea where you live and my response is meant for the hot climate areas.

If you're going back out let me know and I can point you to where we have seen them this year. Not sure if they are still there though.

Did he do it by himself or use your skill and knowledge to assist? I would assume you helped him get there, find the deer, set up properly and take the shot. I would also assume either you or him spent time behind that scope of that particular rifle working up a load and sighting it in properly. So my point stands. Good hunters(shooters) will be effective at any distance. You are correct, all I did though was call out the range and wind for him, he twisted the cds dial and did everything else.But your correct. It took practice. And I bet you were super proud of him and rightly so. That is a tough shot but the confidence from practice makes it doable.

Yes, you can be a good shooter without being a good hunter, but few good hunters are poor shooters. This is shooting deer with rifles we are talking about. It has been done for a very long time with great success with much more limited weapons than we have now. Lots of guys "hunt" that are poor hunters. Having a better rifle does little to change this fact.
