    camo

    I really like the predator camo, but anything with a little green and a lot of brown works good.

    Happy Thoughts Please!

    Well, Im alive! Turns out I did a lot more damage than was first thought. So much so they sliced me open, and had to cut the tendon on the side completely through. Once that tension was relieved, they cut a chunk of bone out of my lower leg in a wedge shape, moved it towards the outside of my leg and screwed it back on. Then they used a cadaver tendon and screwed that to my bone in place of the damaged tendons. But some how during the surgery my left hand either was positioned wrong or something as it has been asleep since I woke up last night at six after the surgery. Its still asleep and no one seems to know why. Hopefully that resolves itself soon and it has me more worried than the rest of the surgery. Thank you for the prayers and thoughts, I was pretty shaken up last night when I learned that the worst case scenario we had planned for was now the new starting point and it had gotten worse! I'm still in the surgical center and will be through at least tomorrow.

    question for tripod head gurus

    http://www.tripodquickrelease.com/Manfrotto_Quick_Releases.htm Check that out. On the second section (Bogan 200pl section) the last plate states it fits the 3410. Check the measurements of your head and then the return policy, but that was the only thing I could find so far on my phone.

    New website Trailcamtresspasser

    I'm going to have to start digging around and find some cold hard facts and rulings. I do know there are a few that cover no right to privacy in a public setting. Meaning, if you are in a public place, you can have your photo taken or captured on video (kind of like when you read the back of your ticket to an expo and it states you surrender your image or likeness of your image to reproduction by the person hosting the event. That's a "private" setting and you are agreeing that when you use your ticket and enter you your right to privacy is excused.) The reason I know there are ruling is when we were taking photos of the Tempe Lake Dam breaking last year a couple of my photos were used on Channel 3's website on the home page. A question was brought up that the lady's face who turned as the photo was taken needed to be compensated, or have a signed paper stating she knew her photo was taken. Channel 3 cited that there was no need due to the no privacy in public rules.

    Need a new career

    Oh wow I can not imagine the pain that must have accompanied that. Perhaps a work from home job? Data entry sometimes allows that. I know I have hunted with people who would bring a laptop and do some work, or upload it through a phone connection.

    Bowtech Assassin

    Awesome, I can not wait to get my hands on one of these! A family member who really only buys the best has passed off a Darton Avalanche for one of these. Now I'm now saying they are better than any other bow, but for someone who has always shot higher end bows and still has access to them he must have saw something he liken in a $500 "kit bow" I think. Best of luck to you this season!

    Julie Treed a Big Bobcat today!

    I'm a big supporter of always carrying. Society is a bunch of whack jobs and nothing has proved that to me more than working in central booking and the 4th Ave Jail! I seem to carry more for the two legged animals instead of the four legged ones! Very cool photos Amanda, I want a bobcat mounted chasing a quail so bad. One day I will get my chance!

    Yeah I figured the rest would be replaced after pig season if not sooner. I had a whisker biscuit when they first came out a few years back. Loved the security, but hated how they tore up fletchings, and cost accuracy. Does your Outlaw have an aggressive valley at full draw? I also noticed a guy shooting another Edge today was have a lot of problems with his anchor being jerked forward at full draw so I know it wasn't just me with that issue. Thanks for the tips guys, I appreciate the input!

    What made you choose the Invasion? Im pretty much considering the bow as a bare bow as most of the accessories will be replaced with different ones that I like better.
  13. Im seriously going to try to make this. I havn't been to a meet since the first Marshal Lake get together due to work. Thanks TJ!

    New Hunter seeking some javelina hunting fun.

    I hunt them a lot like I hunt everything else out here. Glass em up, and then go get em! The good thing is they usually bed in the same areas and will crap all over it so keeping the wind in your face will let you know when you are getting close. Water, food, and bedding are what you are after. BUT... when you see one, standby. There are probably twenty you arnt seeing!

    Why Is It?

    They're Mall Crawlers. I had my big truck for a while, 37" tires and 9" of total lift. Loved that thing like crazy, but I got sick of parking across the parking lot, and using half a tank of gas for the round trip from Chandler to Phoenix. I was always welding it back up too which got old fast.

    Pre-made camp meals

    Diet!?! What happened to the ole "two cans of Skoal and a KeyStone" Lark?

    Pre-made camp meals

    stew. We usually would put a coleman stove on really low and fill a large menduo pot (another GREAT choice)with meat, potatoes onion etc in there and let it simmer all day coming back around mid day to check it and add water. By the time its dark you can smell it from the road and is amazing! I am a huge soup guy and love it all the time, steak isn't good to me anymore (five days a week for years has soured me on it). When we hunted 32 at Mercer Ranch we'd run into town and buy a bunch of burros from the mexican food place on the corner by circle K. Eat one for dinner there and the rest went into the packs for the next day! We even did that this year on the elk hunt, bean and cheese burros from taco bell were awesome at sun up! For pack meals on pig hunts I do PB&J burros. Heat the tortilla a little to make it rollable, put peanut butter all over it then jelly over that. It keeps it from going soggy and pretty much can't get smashed like bread!

    5b had 861 rifle bull tags...

    I was seriously thinking about just that. I have NEVER seen that many elk pulled out of one area (Coleman Lake Rd) in such a short period. Of course two weeks before we counted over forty in one herd (one herd bull, a couple smaller hang arounds only. We had been up there for the early archery/rifle, youth, all the deer hunts, and then this hunt. A very crowded area and a ton of game but there are a lot of hunters! The units are a good size, but who is really going to hunt the high desert for elk before the snow comes? It seems like smaller areas would/are getting destroyed each season. I would love to know what the actual numbers are.

    5b had 861 rifle bull tags...

    Unit 9 over thanksgiving was absolutely nuts. We had three of us spread out glassing a canyon, maybe fifty yards apart if that and had two separate groups walk between us and not even know we were there. There were people everywhere (a total killing ground the first weekend where we counted twelve bulls leaving in trucks)I pulled my orange panel out of my 2200 and left it out and most of our camp did the same.

    New Boots

    What the heck happened to Danner? My first pair of Pronghorns lasted for three years of hard use (one full year of every day wear also). Bought a black pair for work and loved the heck out of them for a year or so then they fell apart. Bought another and the same thing. I don't mind spending for quality, but I hate buying costly "cheap" things!
