    Have had family stay there when visiting and had no complaints. Be aware the gem show is going on so prices will be higher due to that.

    First Coues!

    After several years hunting Coues and helping several others get their first deer, I finally connected with my first Coues. Not a great detailed story to tell, but its mine...hunted the same area during my daughters Oct hunt and have hunted there during archery too, so I knew what kind of bucks were in the area. Had only seen spikes and forkies and lots of does until earlier this week when several nicer bucks showed up. Had a couple of those bucks located but couldnt get close enough before they disappeared over the mountain. Saturday started like other days...made our way to the first glassing spot and seeing lots of groups of does, but no bucks. My buddy spots the buck first but cant see its head...as soon as I get eyes on it I see the antlers and know its a shooter for either of us. 470 yards, which is farther than my buddy wants to shoot. No good spots to get closer since the buck is low on the hill in front of us, so we decide Ill take the shot. Move down to a flatter spot at 435 and get set up...perfect quartering away shot...boom. I see the buck drop in the scope. 6.5 creedmoor I put together for my daughter was money! Glad she let me borrow it. Pretty easy gutless quartering and pack to the truck...left my buddy there to keep hunting and ran the quarters to processor. Back in time for lunch and delivered a burger and cold beer to my buddy. No more bucks in the afternoon, but tempted to shoot the coyote that found my carcass. Huge thanks to elkhunter1 for all of his help and advice and recommending this spot for my daughters hunt. It paid off for sure. Also thanks to everyone else who has kept encouraging me through years of tag soup. Big thanks to my buddy for giving me the shot too...payback I guess for when I helped him with his first deer a few years ago. Just got text pics of his buck he shot in the same spot today so we went 2 for 2 on this hunt! Updating with pics of the 2 bucks together. Maybe the 2 bucks I saw fighting on Wed...that would be cool.

    Reflection of society in general. Whatever though. I enjoy the Olympics. Any event.

    Keying padlocks

    By the same logic could you also order more of the same key locks for a lock you already own? That might make sense. Back to the original question I've never heard of re-keying a padlock...not sure it's possible. I suppose you could call a locksmith and find out.

    Keto

    What happens when you stop? Seems like a good way to yo-yo. Friend was telling me about using it for some type of cancer...seemed to help her with that and the husband lost a bunch of weight by following same diet she was. Inducing ketogenesis is a bit more than just reducing calories, but doesnt seem like a long-term solution. I have never believed in quick fix diets. Reducing calories and increasing exercise has always worked for me.

    Don’t build a treehouse!

    Wow! Lucky kid...it’s a wonder I didn’t break my neck a couple times falling through shoddy treehouse floors.

    How bout them Devils!

    Calling for a 20-25 point blow out win does seem a little out of line, Colorado is a much better team than that. Arizona did not play very well. Luckily. Their free throw shooting saved them. This is the most civil conversation I’ve seen between you two lovebirds. And I agree with both of you.

    Windshield Repair

    I think most folks in AZ tend to have zero deductible glass coverage. I think that is the reason for the marketing youve seen. I remember when I moved here the insurance agent recommended zero deductible and mentioned something about AZ roads being hard on glass. I think we replace 2-3 windshields per year in our house so it has been worth it. I have a friend with his own mobile repair service and works with insurance companies. He is in Tucson though, and I doubt would be doing work in the valley.
  16. This has been my observation as well...especially last cycle when there were no calls made for rejected cards it seems like the charges were mostly complete in the first couple days after the deadline to update cards. I will be looking for charges on 3/2 this time.

    Elk Options

    Yeah look at NM. They also have youth encouragement hunts for those who didn’t draw anything. First come I think and have some for non-resident too.

    I don’t think Sumlin is much of a hula dancer.
