    Flagstaff Hunter Ed Class Nov 20-23

    Just had a cancellation, so 1 seat now open for this classroom class in Flagstaff.
  2. Hunter Ed classroom class in Flagstaff Nov 20-23. 100% attendance of every session is required to pass and receive credit. Due to instructor availability and the necessary instructor-student ratios set by AGFD, we can't take online students. We always have a fun class, though, so get your spot while you can, especially after the spring results are posted. As always, holler with any questions. https://www.register-ed.com/events/view/234802

    Happy Veterans Day!

    I've shared my family story of Veterans Day before on here. I won't go into the details again, but its searchable if you want to read about it. You can also look up "Task Force Black Vietnam November 11, 1967" or look up "Vietnman Soldiers' Story: The Invisible Enemy" documentary. My dad was interviewed for part of that. We all grew up fighing the war he brought home. Thank you to all the vets on here and out there. To you combat vets on here: I see you. I'll sit with you in the dark. Don't hesitate to reach out. Please.

    Unit 10 Babbitt Ranch and AJA Sheep CO accessibility

    Beat me to it. ADO has exclusive hunting rights on the Aja and Exclusive Pursuit has the hunting lease on the Oden. A buddy of mine guides for them. Its great hunting, but they are booked. I'd definitely look at the Bo.

    Bushnell Banner 2 Scope

    Bought this Bushnell for my .22, mounted it, sighted it in, and decided I didn't like it. Been to the range once. Mint condition. Upgraded the rings it came with (not ones in picture) and will include those and the Butler Creek caps. $100 to your door.

    Barnes .284/7mm 168gr LRX

    I was able to get an excellent load working for my son's 7PRC with Barnes 160gr LRX this weekend, so I no longer need the Barnes 168 LRXs I have. I have three unopened boxes of the 168s. $40/box. If you buy the whole lot, I'll cover shipping to you. In Flagstaff. Will be coming south July 4 to catch a flight.

    Wildlife Photography Forum?

    Awesome idea! When I was a herpetologist and then did general wildlife surveys, I took all kinds of wildlife pics. I'd be happy to share them. Forewarned, they are very herp heavy, but I did get some cool bird photos sitting in deer blinds.

    Some of your best memories about the outdoors?

    Where do I begin. Growing up in Iowa, life was all about pheasant hunting every fall. The last weekend in October has always been the opening day of pheasant season. The smell of crisp Iowa fall weather, watching the combines moving around a small town, and then opening morning of pheasant hunting came. I lived for pheasant hunting with my dad. Same for spring turkey in Iowa. Dad and I lived for spring turkey hunting together and I loved listening to the sound of Iowa hardwood forests coming to life. And then there's the fishing. Dad and I lived on the Des Moines River below Red Rock Dam. We'd take a stockpile of stinkbait and catch a limit of channel cats every trip. Dad always played is oldies (50s-60s) music. I love that music to this day and it always takes me back to our spot on the river. All of these were the times dad and I buried the hatchet when we weren't getting along throughout my high school years. He'd stand in the doorway of my room and mention the projected flows for the river and that was his way of saying he was done not talking to me. My absolute best memories of being in the outdoors.
