Since we're really into capturing lions on camera for the purpose of locating and calling them, getting a good photo is important so we don't spend time calling for small / juvenile lions or into areas that have females with kittens and no tom activity. We like to get a full-body camera shot and make a determination if that's an area worth spending our hunting hours calling into. One of the early problems we had with trail cameras, and one that lots of guys I talk to have had, is getting the cat to slow down it's face-paced walk enough to get more than a butt shot. Like this: We've found that the easiest way to get the cougar to stop cold for a photo, several photos, or a video is to take a lion scat from another area and drop it on the trail your camera is set up on. It works for us like gold--they seem to be unable to just walk by--their DNA says they have to investigate. One of our favorite nighttime photos is of this impressive and very muscular cougar. That's a 4-legged deer eating machine. That lion scat came from another lion travel area about 15-20 miles away. This next lion is also a full grown lion, but has a smaller head and is most likely a female, although it is very hard to be certain without a "different view". We got a few photos of this lion and never saw her with kittens nor did we see a big tom cruising around checking her out either. This one is a mystery. But it's a muture lion nontheless and a good lion to call for--a caller's trophy any day of the week. The lion turd that stopped this lion was from a deep drainage about 5-6 miles away. If you're interested in getting good lion photos, I hope this trick helps. Good calling, Mark Healy

Attorneys love to flex with the cops and cops, like all of us really, hate to be wrong and called out. Very common thing. Knowing this is half the battle. The other half is knowing what protections citizens have via the constitution and the various court cases that have shaped current application of 1st, 4th & 5th amendments (these come up the most in daily policing) in daily practical/modern situations is the other half. As an officer it's wise to respect the intentions of the country's framers, know you're an agent of the government with limited but potent authority and stay calm. Going thru an ego posturing session is pointless and usually makes you look foolish. Walking away tail-tucked knowing you should have shut the heck up 1-5 minutes ago sucks, so know when to do that. My opinion on the encounter is thus: The officers should have approached the encounter as a conversation -- are you guys here for a hunt? No? Just camping? Great. Now create some small talk if it's possible and have a positive contact with the folks while staying aware while listening for contradictory statements and looking for signs of illegal activity. Unless you've seen something, heard something or witnessed an activity that can be construed as "hunting" you're really at the mercy of the man's statement, and quite honestly most people aren't doing crooked stuff so just chill out and talk to people. I have a many years-old experience in this specific arena from the citizen side. A group I was with was approached by AZGFD while we were legit camping, fireside sitting & beer/soda drinking -- no other activities -- and the guy was insistent on seeing our hunting licenses. He was refused that request because no one was hunting and we had nothing more than carry pistols inside the vehicles. The dude kinda lost his marbles and started to get angry. Then he wanted to search ice chests. He was declined that request, but kindly offered a chair, a spot at the fire and something cold to drink. Eventually he had to just leave. His whole approach sucked. It was a strange encounter and definitely a one-off. Never had that happen before or since. Everybody has the occasional bad day and I simply let it go. The most effective cops I've worked with were short on flex and big on being knowledgeable professionals who were approachable and widely conversant. They were far from being pushovers, but they knew when to apply authority and force and that was always when they needed to and legally could. It's all in the approach. That's my two cents.

LOL - on the TV documentary Drugs Inc. all of the dealers that flashed a pistol, flashed a Hi-Point and called it a Glock. Every time. Evidently I wasn't the only viewer that hit pause and called BS ↓

I painted a house, barn and large shed with a Hobo Freight Avanti sprayer. No complaints. Pull the trigger - if you do the cleaning and maintenance, it’s a solid sprayer. It ate 5 gallon buckets for lunch and put even & generous coverage everywhere I wanted and it.

There are specific times (typically when we believe the person is lying about his/her residence status) we will require the person to get a driver's license before we will complete the ID portion of the 4473 process. However, most of the time a combination of GOVERNMENT issued documents will allow us to complete a proper customer identification. If a person has a driver license with the wrong address can be supplemented with MANY other documents (voter ID, hunting license, city waste bill, city water bill, tax correspondence from the IRS or state DOR, etc.) to meet ATF protocols. A passport can ID the person and because it doesn't have an address on it, it too can be supplemented with another piece of government issued documentation. There are a many combinations of documentation that will meet the ATF standards. Keep in mind (we are asked daily about this) an apartment lease will not work for address verification. It's NOT a government issued document. Other no-gos are credit card bills, bank statements, car loans, etc. We work with people every day to meet this identification requirement in the easiest & legal way possible. Hope this helps

Live Fire Suppressed Range Day This Sunday - Come Shoot Silencers On Rifles and Pistols
Healy Arms replied to Healy Arms's topic in The Campfire
We did one in February and it was a fun day. Several first time shooters (not just suppressed shooting -- any shooting). The radio ads got them curious enough to come shoot. And lots of hunters. Guys wondering about weight added, if there were any accuracy issues and sound reduction. Truly a success. -
I have been trying for about a month now to reach the folks at Flatline Maps and - nothing - I'm wondering if anyone on here has any information as to why this is. I know they are a small/family type operation, so we're hoping all is well with them. Their maps are very popular items - wanting to get a bunch more. Thank you all in advance, Mark Healy sales@healyarms.com 480-621-5555

I figured it was you or someone else on here was able to get a message to them. I'm grateful I got a message back the next day. So, thank you and the CW forum folks for having relationships and good reach in the hunting community. I came here figuring this was the right place to find a solution. It was. Good luck with your hunts this year. Mark

Okay - good news - I have heard from them and there was in-fact a printer issue and an upgrade to new paper issue that have been holding up production. We are going to start getting resupplied soon. Thank you to whomever reached out to the Flatline folks and got the communication going again. Communication is good. Have a productive fall season, Mark Healy

Reviews are okay but, obviously, one sided. A guy can type anything when he's unchallenged. Testimony without cross examination is pretty useless. It would be nice to have all parties together for explanations from each and get closer to the actual truth. Would the reviewer walk anything he said back? Maybe not, but it's likely.
