That's the part that disgusts me. It's one thing to steal or trash a cam or whatever in a fit of rage/jealousy(not condoning it but I understand the mentallity) but to walk around with frigging bolt cutters??? Straight up punk move.

I tell her that EVERY day.....lol

Props to AZGFD for being on the ball this year and getting results out quick! I just checked my wife's portal...

I know how you feel man. I won the lottery and can't decide to take a lump sum or payments. It is driving me nuts not knowing. You guys just don't understand how frustrating it is not knowing! My life sucks...

WAY too small for 4b... I was in 4b this weekend tooling around with the kids and I kicked up several dozens of bulls in the 380+ class.

I only have experience with my rhino. It is a 2009 and we have beat the CRAP out of it (and has been rolled a few times and had frame supports broken from "impacts"). I can take it anywhere and IT has never let me down. Others have let IT down with poor driving choices though...lol I don't know if they are bad or good but mine has been a warhorse. I actually drive it like I stole it and it keeps on going....

This isn't a first person issue for me, it was more just a topic for conversation. I do have kids in other states but not under this scenario. Interesting takes on it though.

So hypothetically....... If one of my kids goes away to college (out of state) can I continue to put them in as "residents"?

Ok, now to add a wrinkle to it... What if college student gets his/her drivers license in that other state for whatever reason? Same answers as above?

I pee on all mine so if they DO get messed with I at least get to laugh to myself....

^ That is exactly(almost) what my dog would do. Only difference is I had her on her back with legs up. Everyone loved that trick.

One of the favorite tricks I taught our lab was the fall over dead when shot. It is a progressive teaching trick. Lay down roll over Roll half way over Do it when triggered and not commanded. Surprising how easily and quickly she learned it.

That is the problem I have with "some" guys who run trail cams, put up blinds, etc etc blah blah. The "ethics" of the modern day hunter often leaves much to be admired. Sadly, many of the fine attributes of the older generation and those that brought us to the woods are fading away. It is now a "sport" or a "competition" and the attitudes and egos that go along with it. I am not against trail cams, blinds, or any other "aid" that will help a hunter. I am against the mentality that public land "belongs" to any ONE person. Some of these individuals clearly were not spanked enough as children...

Go see jeff at gunnels on main in Mesa. Longtime friend and Good guys.

I am just as excited at distance but not necessarily as "anxious". My calmness meter is up when they are far away.

Nice units. Pretty much bullet proof.

Man that sounds like fun.

They check criminal records and pull tags if they find felonies or outstanding warrants. That should get people going.....lol

Nothing beats a bear selfie. Congrats.

I got mine, but it was expected. Nothing too exciting other than the fact that I am for sure going.

But how to cure it? Easy. Just put in for 4b

ME. I am a 100% analytical psychopath. It is almost debilitating at times. Almost to the point of making myself sick going over every scenario and every variable within that scenario. I have learned to embrace my disease and accept it or what it is. I have also learned that in the end, none of it really matters(for hunting that is). As soon as I get in the field, it all goes to pot and I end up improvising anyway. So, I use the "preparation" as a way to occupy my mind until the real thing happens and then I just go with it. It is just hunting....

No wonder you have a bad back dude! I would be a crippled old man hauling all your deer!

I see both sides. AS a business owner with very strict policies(by law I am required to do certain things), I can understand their position. The questions you did not answer was a) did they have a written policy did you agree to it c) did you violate it. (actually we already know "c") I also have to ask, if it was for a reason other than your kids, would you have expected a refund? Granted, that is hypothetical but to their point, a cancelled booking is a cancelled booking. Trust me, I have heard EVERY excuse in the book and all from the movie made from the book. I have heard it ALL. At some point as a business owner you just have to draw the line in the sand and say no to EVERYONE. In your defense, I think their "reasoning" for not working with you is poor. If they stuck to their policy of "no refunds period" and didn't bring up "feeding their kids", I would actually have more respect for them. I understand your hurt feelings, but I do think it unfair to hold it against them. You may not like them and not do business with them, but I don't think they did anything "wrong". On the flip side, wouldn't it have been nice for them to say yes and for you to be singing their praises.... Out of curiosity, why didn't you just pick up the kids and take them fishing?

Any will do. I personally wear about 4 different brands depending on the weather. Mostly just light weight. Only if it is raining do I bust out the expensive pants. My favorites right now are my predator camo and kings camo lightweight. One caveat. ALL of my pants have water resistant treatment up to the knees. NOTHING and I mean NOTHING sucks more than wet feet.. If you don't wear gaiters or have water resistant/proof pants, your pants will soak and fill up your waterpoof boots. And Wear water proof boots! The dew on the grass will SOAK you. I diy waterproof all my stuff(that I want waterproof) with the silicon/mineral spirits method. Easy to do and works.
