I ordered this in 2010 to replace a wall tent and it has never been out of the storage bags, poles are still in cardboard box. Its been in a storage unit the last 2 years. Brand new on Cabelas they are 1249.00 . I honestly cant tell you what I paid(CRS ) for it but am asking $900.00 OBO. I am in Silver City, NM but will be travelling to Eagar next weekend and Phoenix the first week in July. Open to trades of like value as well. Thanks!! AG

sold,,

It has a floor liner already in it. Has all of the tent poles as well. It's essentially the same as the current 12x20 alaknak.

No the wall tent is still old faithful, couldn't bear to not use it, Ive had it for years, which is why the alaknak has never been used.

You can shoot 223 out of 5.56 safely, but the pressures generated by 5.56 are not safe in a 223. Meaning you can shoot the 5.56 and you won't have an issue until you have an issue( if you know what I mean). Unless it's stamped 5.56 /223 on the barrel I wouldn't shoot 5.56 out of it.

WOW!! He is going to have a tough time topping this year!!!! Congratulations!!

They make some that are partially gas powered now I believe, look them up on the web site, they have some that are gas/electric. Look pretty cool, would like to see what kind of power and torque they have for climbing some of the crappy roads out here in NM. ag

I grew up in Az and live in NM and I have cleaned up abandoned campsites in both states, I dont think you can responsibly condemn the state for some of the people in them. That is like saying that all women in Az are ugly because Janet Napolitano is, or that all women in NM are ugly because Bill Richardsons wife looked just like him(just Uglier) Basically there are just worthless dingleberries who dont get it. They are the ones that ruin it for the rest of us, unfortunately I think every state has its fair share of them. As far as the distance shooting, if I am comfortable shooting at long distances with a rifle then I should be able to do it. Part of hunting is knowing where they are and spotting the game, part of it is closing distance to your comfortable range and the last part is making the shot, REGARDLESS OF IF YOU RIFLE HUNT, MUZZLELOADER HUNT, OR TRADITIONAL ARCHERY HUNT!!! I am way more comfortable shooting 600 yards with my rifle than I am shooting my bow at 50 yards. I know that I would be way more apt to wound an animal at 50 yards with my bow than I would to wound it at 600 yards with my rifle. Point is, I wont shoot from a distance I am not comfortable with, you dont know if those guys were just flinging lead or taking legitimate shots. Unfortunately you were hunting public land and you have to share it good or bad. Good luck on your bow hunts next year!! ag

When I first saw the topic I thought they found the end of the rainbow!!!! I opened the thread sigh... only to be disappointed. the smoking of that much pot would cause the eating of many a chocodile and cheeto!! It stinks that it is getting more and more dangerous in the woods. ag

Hes a good guy, haven't seen him at the gym in awhile, now I know why! Tell him I said Hi and congrats on the buck. Adam

Your Grandpas name wouldn't happen to be Art would it?? That mug looks very familiar!!! Congrats on the buck!!

I actually have both the swarovskis and the fujinon. The fujinons I bought when I could not afford the swaros. Overall a decent binocular. I have trouble with the focus knob on mine, I always end up messing up my right eye focus and then have to refocus the whole thing. The swaro focus system is way better. I have set up the binos to compare them, there is a large difference between the two around the edge of the glass and early morning and late evening. The fujinons seem to be a little heavier as well. That being said I did not sell them when I got my swaros because the fujis is what my son and daughters will learn to glass with. For the price it is a good deal for a good pair of long distance binos. Oh and I bought the swaros because on a whitetail hunt I got to thinking, if I see this many more deer with these optics how many will I see with the top of the line ones?? consequently the next year I got my Swaros. Overall good binos, good price, but be warned you may end up buying the swaros sooner than you planned my .02 worth., AG

My son and I were hunting in the Chiricauhas a few years ago and we came up to a camp that had an abandoned campfire that was still going strong, even better they had left a jerry can full of gas about 4 yards from the fire and it had a hole in it and was leaking everywhere very slowly. How nice would it have been had the leaking gas made it to the fire? We spent about an hour cleaning their campsite up and then poured the gas into the fire and brought home the jerry can so we could throw it away. Was a good lesson for him on putting out your fire and cleaning up your camp. ag

Maybe she would like to let her kids and her grandkids observe the wolves from the wolf shelters they had to build for bus stops up by reserve cuz the wolves were stalking the kids?? Better yet, she could let them roll around in elk roadkill and maybe they could get some sweet up close and personal video footage!! Could she enter that on the game camera competition?? What a joke. ag

Hmm , How about work at work, novel idea??

I did that with mine as well, used it as an excuse for a sliding rear window!!! oh and a head ache rack! ag

I have a 257 weatherby and just got a custom built 300 weatherby, love em both, My 257 has killed 3 whitetail, the closest at 400 yards, 2 were one shot kills 400, 477 and one was a 2 shot kill because I choked on my first shot and hit low in the shoulder, I was not happy with the ballistic tips(blew into pieces) and switched to the accu bond and love it. I bought the 300 because I wanted a bullet less affected by wind drift on long shots, the 257 is my goto rifle though, love it and always will, no recoil, flat and fast!! ag

You ought to contact crazyaboutcoues, he has a scouting service and will take good care of you!! Good luck. ag

Just voted for you!! Good luck and nice Buck!!! ag

I like the majority of the WA products but will not buy the meal replacement shakes again, they cake to bad and it is like sludge on the top of the shake. I have tried it in water, milk, and oj and it sludges in all of them. I stay away from creatine as well as it makes me retain water pretty bad, I can only use it 2 times a week. I am doing Intensity which is brutal at night and free weights in the am. The Intensity has really helped my cardio. ag

Redman, Just trying to help you out with your application dilemmas;) I think the non res. got hosed, however J is right we do pay alot more in AZ to hunt there. Unfortunately there is never going to be a system where everyone is happy. Good luck ag

Hmmm.. I agree.. We should switch to something like AZ... I have to buy a license $151 and I earn a point but for elk it might take 15 years to draw and for antelope it might take 20 years to draw... In NM you can draw the FIRST YEAR... IN AZ.. Not possible... be careful what you ask for... Hmm, I guess you don't HAVE to apply!? Amen J

When I lived in Flag we had a turd of a Game and Fish officer named Bob Barsh, he cited me and some friends for shooting to close to a house. We were in a field in Doney park shooting Dove and he came out and stepped off the distance, said we were good. He went to check other hunters and we were leaving and the truck was parked further from the homes he stepped off from, well a flight of doves flew over and we shot(all 3 of us) and suddenly here comes the good officer yelling not to move, he came up and said I saw 2 guns fire and he pointed to my buddy "you for sure, and I dont know who the other one was, but you're not leaving until one of you admits to shooting!" I said we are further from the homes now then we were 10 minutes ago!! He says, youre to close, who is the other shooter? So there we sit, finally he writes me a ticket. So I tell him , see you in court jerk, well he shows up and his Deposition is full of lies, he stated he saw me shoot from his truck!! he was on foot over the hill, he stated he taped it in front of us! lies, and he stated we were combative(not until after he ticketed us). Needless to say who did the judge listen to? of course not the the 3 19 year olds. On the other hand, I had no issues with any of the other G and F officers I encountered in the field. Just the Barshhole as he was affectionately known from then on. ag
