cant wait to see your success. we got unit 27 cow tags. We went up this past saturday to get some fresh mountain air and bounce around. Of all the camps we seen, we didnt hear of any success

Well, i did our patch myself. Mainly because of two reasons, im cheap... and every body i talked to i didnt meet the required sq ft. Luckily our (grass portion) of the yard is pretty small. 200 Sq ft. I dug it out b (by hand) 4 inches down and then back filled it the granite that was recommended. i flooded, tamped, and compacted it the best i could. the bad part of the yard was, it wasnt straight or square cuts. it had one interior 90 then an angular edge with sort of a scallops on the top and then a curve for the gazebo. Tha t being said, if you have the option to keep your piece square (or at least with right angles) the better off you are. its sold in 15 or 7.5 wide swaths. my layment was best to use 7.5' wide.... but i almost did get in a pickle because i had to scrounge for remanats that would work to fill the scalloped edge at the far end of the grass area. just like carpet, theres a lay direction that has to match... i wound up with extra seems. i know where they are(kinda) but nobody else can see it We went through the Synthetic grass store in mesa. Thney have a worksheet online and i was withing a couple hundred bucks of my guess. The sales person that helped me out was almost spot on with how many nails i would need etc for installation. --- theres plenty of pet friendly fake grasses, and theres ones that synth recomended. its warmer than regular grass, but not the "hot lava" everyone makes it out to be. i still walk barefoot on it. I got an english pointer who thinks hes a greyhound. its been in for 3 years now with out any worry. a broom everyonce ina while will refluff it. it stands up to urine, i do wash it down more often than i expected... but never noticed the smell. He wont stop crapping on my pool deck, so the "choclate" factor isnt anything ive had to worry about. for the synthetic grass store, they wouuldnt honor or provide any warranty, without proof of window coverings on any proximity windows. The radiant heat would reflect and melt it... even if it wat in direct reflection of the sun.

the wife and i had confirmed cases of covid in jan-feb... right around javelina. lol (seriously had it, but timing worked great). I had a sore stiff back for a weekend, then lost my staste for 5 weeks or so. Other than that i was fine, just stuck watching cartoons for two weeks ha ha. She was knocked out. She was bed ridden for a solid week. couldnt break a fever felt miserable... then a week later back to normal all the way around for her. this current bug. her boss had it, she brought it home from work. and now the boy has it. sinus pressure and pain and just drained. not covid

trailer included???

location?

maybe itll help alleviate the strain at the mesa location, and theyll finally get some stock back in

do the whole dang state. Might be the only way to protect it from ourselves!

360 beat me to it.... 2, as in 2 many

My mistake. I was thinking unit 22

Hurtful. Why do you punch me with your words?

Still got the lab? My buddy sent me the ad. I'll send you his number in a pm

Tell us Edge, what was it like seeing it first hand.... way back then? I'M KIDDING! Don't kill me Tim

i spent my covid lockdown time going through fb marketplace reporting scams (was alos looking for a vehicle for the stepson). Super easy to spot. its one picture, "show room" miles, and tenth of the cost

catch your own dinner again, huh

Late to the party, ... But I remember the place the OP is referring to. I remember seeing it the year after my bull tag and we slept in the cold. I second what everyone else has said, except the Young area. That's a long haul on a dirt road to get to a hunting spot. Creekside cabins has a website. Kohls Ranch, aribnb and VRBO. . Pine and strawberry are "in bounds" even if they're up on the other corner. We did an Airbnb and had half of a duplex to ourselves.

Built them myself. Still gotta get a shade canopy (picture is before that phase of the project). Hopefully this weekend. Missed the window to get things planted, but they'll be ready for the fall

A work in progress, and feel very inadequate after Edge"s pictures... But here's my work in progress

you gonna buy that dome house? ha ha

great... now the nightmares will start up again. thats weird looking. ha ha

Posting for my buddy. He's not a hunter just another camper. Any who.... He's had it for just under a year. Think he wants to upgrade. (Sorry, don't have any pics to post, just his ad) https://offerup.co/F82tyssyqdb

My brother in law works for R&K (mesa/Gilbert border)... He might be able to get you something. David at R And K. Matt

Phoenix welding supply, and theres a price break after so many gallons

can't help much on the tank level issue.... but my input on the batteries. I fabbed a two battery box and got two deep cycle AGM batteries. The important thing to remember is that Even with deep cycles, once they get to zero, they dont really come back that well. When i did my mod, i added a "frankenstien" battery disconnect. Theres lots of stuff that "doesnt have an off switch" on the trailer. when i disconnect for storage, i disconnect the batteries. I usually bring my trailer home a couple of days before a trip (from my inlaws) and plug it in to charge the batteries, fill water, and load up in general. So far i havent had any problems.

on the topic of radios... So in my truck we installed a Midland 115 model... and my brother bought a midland 40 watt for his jeep (yet to be installed)... In my ram, i fabbed a bracket and added it under my aftermarket light switch bank. its supposed to have a 50 mile (unobstructed) range. ihonestly havent played much with it. Slightly disappointed with the progrsamming features (its difficult to toggle through the functions and make adjustments) when i first put it in the truck i would ride home from work... they are supposed to be able to sync up to the handheld radios (which is why we bought them) . the little bit ive used mine, there's a set of kids in the vicinity and the 3 mile coomute i could hear the kids playing with their handhelds the whole rifde home (in gilbert) so at least thats promising. We did take a trip to sedona with my inlaws (3 vehicles total) . i gavce them two hand helds and figured "we got the truck mount" ... but one of the micro tuning adjustments was off. I could hear them on the hand helds, but they werent picking me up. Not sure if its easier to match the handhelds to the truck or vise versa. Havent had time to play with them, and no one around to help,... so i was sitting int he truck trying to tie them togethor and gave up. ha ha. Probably someone with more technical skills or myself with more ambition could get it done. (comes complete with a small wire antenna, and on my deer hunt, was retty impressed with the 'sticking" it had as i scraped the top of the cab with low branches) Im guessing the 40 watt with my brother is the sdame deal. My brother hasnt installed his yet. HE's reluctant on where to mount his and stuff like that (he normally rides with the doors off for a good portion of the year and he doesnt want "free stuff" laying out in the open for some scum bag. the 40 watt is supposed to have a 65 mile (unobstructed) range. His didnt come with an antenna, but he did find a "puck" tyoe antenna that has a pretty solid magnet as well (also his hangup in mounting, because he doesnt know where to put the antenna for switching between hard, soft and no tops). Had the chance to test out the walker razor radios. The walker razor is a noise cancelling headphone that in it self is pretty cool. There is a couple of draw backs,. The headset itself is about $40 each. But for an additional $35 there's a two way radio that mounts to the headsets. 3 of us took them ut to try... The VOX feature didnt work (automatic talk). well it did, bt with road noise, it would lock the channel open. We turned this feature off and just used the PTT on the headset. At high road noise (doors off, 75 mph) i could have a normal conversation with sitting in the back seat and them in the front. Typically on road trips or whatever, if the doors are off, there's no talking between the front and back seats without a lot of shouting. Looking at the reveiws for the walker razor two ways, there's lot s of complaints about the boom mic breaking... but it might be how people treat their equipment. its an electronic device... not a rock to be hammered on etc. We havent had the chance to test the range of the headsets at any great lenghts. We went out the saturday after thanksgiving, and the ambient temp wehn we started was about 30 ish... so that was a nice bonus of having toasy ears as we ran down the road. Everything can be found on amazon.

this happened to my wife this morning too.... but the funny thing is, she handles the unemployment for her little company she works for. She said she got an emial, so clicked on it. Was pretty upset when she seen her name as the recipient.
