Dicks has a big variety. I bought 3 of the Trophy 125s, theyre sit in, but pretty nice. im 5'10" but have taken taller people out with me and they seem to fit pretty good. might have to make the trek up to Tucson to find one

hybrid lights, (www.azhybrindlight.com) had a booth at the expo. theyre pretty awesome. So I k now that the gilbert pd cadets were selling the flashlights as theyre fundraiser for two years. one of my buddies bought one. At the G&F expo, he had the flashlights and a couple of lanterns. all of his stuff has a built in solar charger, and a conventional wall charger. also has a port to charge your phone.pretty light weight stuff. and of course, cheaper on amazon.

don't think I will get to go. Didn't file my request early enough with the appropriate management. ha ha ha. Was curious though, I wanted to ask what the early summer temperatures would do to the strut?

Anyone here ever rented a camper? If so, who from? Ive got an older coleman popup, but was looking to splurge for a weekend with my lady. Mainly because she enjoys things like walls and a shower (not that she doesn't enjoy camping, but this is supposed to be for her birthday). So I came up with the idea of maybe renting a small camper for the two of us to get out and enjoy the outdoors without the usual circus of family on our regular camping trips. Ive got a 1/2 ton so im not worried about pulling something for the 2 of us. But a quick google search let me to a couple of sites, and craigslist. Most of them were a 3 night minimum at $100 a night. At that rate, I can find a pretty nice airbnb place for the two of us. (because we can only go up Friday to Sunday) I was just curious if anyone had ever done this before

My lady booked an AIRBNB last night... A mile from downtown flag. Hopefully it has a spot to stash my kayaks, and we don't wake up the host that stays below the rental when we come back from the flagstaff night life

and eaten????

sorry, yeah. $100 isn't a bad price. Id be okay with that. But all the places I found were a 3 night (not day) minimum. So we'd have to shell out $300 for the weekend, with the first night hooked to the truck in front of the house, because we can only go for 2 nights. Might just have to stick to the airbnb for the 3day/2 night timeline

Shoot, cmon guys this is the first spring bird tag in 3 years for me... don't lock the gate yet. Actually, I wonder how many government officials have weighed the long term affects. Sure it might be bad for the economy to close the forest for the summer. But wouldn't it be worse to lose the resources for 20 years if the fire wipes out everything and their isn't a successful timber stand for decades? I got a whole bunch of unfilled tags in the gearbox at the garage. I would gladly give up this spring hunt to know that some idiot with a sparkler isn't going to burn the state to the ground.

killed them all within a 1/4 mile radius??? Sounds like the Mid west "whack n stack".... Isnt this what they have the depredation tag for in the back of the regs book? I woulda went

can you use it for a side by side , or toooo janky?

Well crap. I searched online all over the place, and then called the mesa office.

Crossbows aren't allowed on the HAM hunt, at least not according to the person I talked to at game and fish

might have to bring an assistant. ha ha. Either way... dove meat is dove meat. And plus getting to shoot some eurasions without the fear of every Tom Dick and harry raining pellets down in every direction like in regular season is worth it. Pulled into a spot once, albeit not the first ones there... Gotten out of the truck, and within 5 minutes of getting there, we got peppered at the truck. I can understand being tucked away in the bush and being in the flight path... but standing next to a black f350... guy said "oh, didn't see you there".....

you share your secret eurasion spot with me, and I will clean your birds. ha ha

giving up on the muzzle season?

Friend sent me pics from his campout in 20a this past weekend. He couldn't keep them out of his camp from what he told me. ha ha

I will have to check them out at sprouts too. Always looking for new flavors

look into rugged maps

it happened last year. warmer temps, sooner in the season kicked off the "romance" for the turkeys... by the time the hunts opened up, there wasn't any activity

It's already happened at my house too, but on the other end of the scale. Ive banned most modern country music from my house and truck.... The step kids don't like the way I enforce the rule... but rapping, drum machines, and "bubble gum" country wont be tolerated. ha ha ha

its already illegal to use aircraft or drones....

reminds me of dove hunting on the east side

should just put up a sign that says "please don't cross". boom problem solved

So, it's getting closer to replacing my old worn out '79 coleman. But the "with what" comes up. Mainly if I have the conversation around the lady,... it's with what funds?!?!" But anyways... We like the ability to access more places with a pop up. its light, can usually find a place to set it up. doesn't need the clearance or space that a hard side has. But the draw back is setting it up to pack, setting it up to set up, and then again to clean out and air out afterwards. I want to make my own pop up. I got some ideas, but don't know where to start or how to go about it.

See that's the thing.... A regular pop up isn't all that expensive. They make smaller units that is similar to the "end product"... But most of the smaller units are about one or two people (depending on how well you know the 2nd person, truthfully lol) but they're still small. A regular pop up sleeps a family of four comfortably... So a pop up that I can have access to the storage from the outside of the camper. Was thinking further and have totes that would snap into the floor and stuff like that
