While You Were Out Thurs 07/01 We Took 11,712 acres
IA Born replied to lonne's topic in The Campfire
You need to watch your language in public! Trust me, there's a way to make it happen. -
I will be traveling to/from the airport on July 5th and 6th, taking my daughter down for her 3-week Alaska trip. I can bring the saw and quiver (above) with me if you can meet me enroute to/from the airport. I typically go I17-101E-51S-202E-143S to our hotel. I can also bring the Hornady 12g turkey loads, Leupold Dual Dovetail 1" High rings, Leupold Dual Dovetail 30mm medium rings if anyone wants those. Can confirm travel times with interested buyers, but we'll likely leave Flagstaff late afternoon and I'll be driving back north after her 6am flight has departed. Turkey loads: 12g= $15 Rings: $20/each

Both correct. Good buddy of mine is on Mormon Lake Hotshots, assigned to the fire, and has been staying at our house in the evenings. South Garland was evacuated for burnout operations and they contained the portion that was potentially threatening Flagstaff, after we were downgraded to "ready". My boss is working closely with the IMT and resources are starting to be demobed already. That's all great news!
-
We got the downgrade from "Set" back to "Ready" about 20 minutes ago! Feeling much better in SW Flagstaff!
-
70% chance of rain for our area (Flagstaff) today. I'll take that so we can hopefully stand down from pre-evacuation status!

Coconino NF to fully CLOSE Wednesday 6/23/2021
IA Born replied to Red Rabbit's topic in The Campfire
Yep. We had to pack go bags this afternoon, stage essentials, and are working on a plan in case we have to bug out. Fortunately, several friends in town have called/texted offered up places and help. -
Pretty sure you and I were in the same "group" message. Funny thing is, I'd totally go hunting with you!
-
And you didn't grab me one??? 😜

308 Win 165gr TTSX load Data?
IA Born replied to Hoss50's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I'll have to go dig it up, but I put some 165 TSX loads together for my brother-in-law's .308. It was either 4064 or 4895, but they were tight groups. Shouldn't be much, if any, difference between TSX and TTSX loads/powders. I'll dig it up later and let you know. -
Yes, a small tarpon. Don't let the size fool you, though. It jumped three times and still put a helluva bend in my 9-wt!

Back at my computer with my fishing pics. Some of my favs from my flyfishing adventures. I caught my one and only (so far) tiger trout on a #14 Royal Wulff that my son tied for me. That's a personal favorite that I don't have pics of handy.
-
If we can figure out transport to/from Flagstaff, I'll take the IMR 4064!
-
I couldn't imagine my life without flyfishing. My plan is to spend my retirement on the flats chasing bones, permit, tarpon, and barracuda. I've landed one tarpon on a fly rod, jumped, two, and missed several takes. I was baitfishing for bones with my son, but launched a big streamer at a 4-foot blacktip shark. The take was amazing! I went to set the hook, but the fly popped out and shark just sat there like nothing happened. I'm always up for a flyfishing trip!

Bipod and monopod are sold. Saw and quiver still available.

Check out Coues120's post a few days after yours:

Powder and projectiles for sale or trade.
IA Born replied to Coues120's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
If we can figure out a route for that to/from Flagstaff, I'll take it. At the same time, this post was two below yours and is from May 20: Looks like you two can work it out for the 4350 and 3031. -
Powder and projectiles for sale or trade.
IA Born replied to Coues120's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Where are you located and how much for the 4064? I'd offer a 4895 trade, but my kids' rifles love that stuff, too. -
Maytag Upright Freezer 15.5 Cu Ft Not Frost Free SOLD
IA Born replied to ewilly's topic in Classified Ads
If you had one that lasted that long, its one of the good ones! My parents both retired from Maytag in Newton, Iowa and that was when they were built right and with pride! This one that is being sold is from the generation that was still built in Newton and is one of the good ones and not just "Maytag" by name, after Whirlpool bought them out and shut down the Newton plants and HQ. With this one being made in 2004, I probably know the folks who worked on it! It was after my parents retired, but its still in the good-quality years of Maytag! -
I hate agreeing with Sean publicly, so I won't! But he's not wrong...
-
$18 and you got a deal!

Bipod and monopod are SPF.

Turkey Ammo, Saw, Powder, Scope Rings, and Call: Updated List
IA Born posted a topic in Classified Ads
Bumping back up with updated stuff and valley travel plans. We did some quarantine spring cleaning this afternoon. Time to get rid of stuff taking up space and, hopefully, make someone a good deal. I have an old gobbler shaker, Gerber bone saw, Hornady 12g 3" magnum #5 turkey loads (10 rds), Federal Premium 20g 3" #6 turkey loads (10 rds), Leupold Dual Dovetail 1" High rings, Leupold Dual Dovetail 30mm medium rings, and three 1-lb bottles of powder (Varget, H380, and Big Game). All three powder bottles have had 9-12 loads worth of powder used for load testing. Daughter's 7-08 didn't like either. I don't need them, so I figure I'll help others who may need them. No need to horde. In Flagstaff. Will not ship powder or ammo, but will hold it until we can meet up (from 6ft away) and we'll be in west valley near Cabela's for my daughter's birthday April 23-24. Can meet FTF in that area. My word of the year for TKD during my own black belt journey is "Compassion", so I can be talked into fair negotiations on price. Getting updated pics for everything. Getting updated pics uploaded, too. Turkey loads: 12g= $15 Rings: $20/each Owl Hooter: $5 Will also trade for Barnes .308 190gr LRX bullets, Barnes VOR-TX .223 55gr ammo, H1000, and RCBS Small-base Taper Crimp .223 2-Die set. -

Our NAZ NWTF Chapter in Flagstaff is raffling off an Alps Outdoorz turkey vest. Only 25 tickets being sold and there are only about 12 tickets left. We also have our annual raffle for the commissioner's turkey tag. There are 10 decks of cards being sold across the state. We have one deck of 54 cards. First prize is one of the Commissioner's turkey tags, valid in any open unit and valid for 365 days starting mid-August. The drawing will take place early August at the Sierra Vista banquet or somewhere around there if they are having a banquet. Tickets for both can be purchased here: https://www.naznwtf.org/shop As always, we appreciate your support for funding great conservation projects, youth hunting programs, and Hunter Education programs in Northern Arizona!
