  1. Looking for short-term (a couple of weeks each) storage for 2 trailers on the way to or near Unit 9 or 12A...one is a 25' travel trailer and the other is a 32' fifth wheel. One will be a couple of weeks in Oct and the other a couple of weeks in Nov...between scouting trips and each hunt. Any suggestions on storage places that offer short-term storage like that or anyone here with some land who wants to make a little extra cash? Thanks!

    Short-term trailer storage near Unit 9 or 12A

    Thanks Edge. I should probably clarify that the closer to the units, the better. Somewhere in or around Flag or even Jacob Lake for 12a. Trying to save some diesel fuel costs and travel time.

    swackers

    They fly fine as long as you use the shrink tubing that comes with them. I've heard issues when folks try to use other rubber bands instead, but not the shrink tubing. I've never had one open in the quiver or on the bow like I used to have with Rage. I cut the foam out of my quiver so it's basically a hollow foam-lined cover with just the point in foam and works fine.

    Who is going to be where on the 22nd?

    I'll be "out there" and definitely not "here"...at least for half the day. Southern unit looking for coues.

    2013-2014 raffle buck

    Sorry I didn't see this thread when I posted the video under Rifle Hunting for Coues. I even searched for raffle. Nice buck and glad to hear some of the story too!

    Monday Check in

    Down 4lbs since started back regularly exercising. Ran 2 days last week (goal was 3 days), walked a mile every day during lunch, and strength one day (goal was 2 days). Resort weekend for our wedding anniversary, but managed to not blow it too bad. Nice climb planned a couple mornings this week in place of the run...one morning with a blind and hopefully the other a little heavy on the way out.

    Pre yard sale

    Have same Buckmaster scope. Good price for a good BDC scope.
  10. I know it's a longshot, but does anyone in or near Tucson have any factory load Barnes TTX or TX in .270 130gr or 140gr that I could buy a few rounds? Considering a switch before my Oct hunt and don't want to drop $40 on a box and find out my rifle doesn't like them... Thanks!
  11. Spot on scoutm...another eye-opener is calculating your body age (like they do on Biggest Loser...yeah I watch that show sometimes ) We have a scale that also measures body fat/muscle % and will calculate BMI and body age. Pretty scary. Like I said I'm trying to turn a corner, but have a long way to go. But I also know the direction I don't want to go...

    CrossFit

    I think Crossfit has gotten some negative publicity over rhabdo and other issues...but you guys are right, you just have to be smart about it and listen to your body. Like any other exercise routine or program. Knowing when and how to push yourself, but not too far...that's where a good program and a good trainer come into it.

    Used Knaack Truck Tool Box $70

    If it only had the aux diesel tank...
  14. I can't deny it...I'm fat, overweight, obese. I got down within 15 lbs of my normal BMI range a few years ago and still wasn't "skinny." I had a gut and love handles then. Got a long way to go, and yes I think America needs a wake up call as to lifestyle, portion size, etc.

    A little girl and "Buck Fever"

    Awesome. Agree that made my day...got a little shake just watching it. "Nobody cares about the bighorn sheep" LoL

    Where do you store your tag before hunting season?

    In the drawer of my little "charging station" where I keep phones, wallet, etc...my tags and extra copy of license all go there. I hate to admit that I lost a tag one year even with this system...it wasn't in the drawer when I got ready to pack for the trip, and the only thing I guess is I left it in a pile of mail and it got thrown out. I still went hunting that year and helped my buddy kill a nice buck, but was kicking myself the whole time and left my rifle at home.

    Item found in Unit 27

    Right there with you TJ...I had forgotten about this thread with the hope that it might be found. Awesome to see this!

    Pay it forward - I will start

    Nice tent...my first "real" tent was a Timberline. Spent many nights in that tent and carried it on lots of backpacking trips.

    Current routine

    Man you guys make me feel fat and lazy! Insanity is a good name for that workout...I couldn't even handle the baseline test when I tried it.

    Youth deer camps this year?

    My buddy's kid will be hunting deer for the first time this fall, and he'd like to put him in for a tag when/where there will be a youth camp. I found the SCI camp info in this section of the forum...any other deer camps usually happen? Is the SCI camp going to be the early Nov hunt in the 36s again this year? Thanks!

    First Archery Memory

    No pic, but my first archery memory is watching my arrow sail right over the back of an eastern whitetail...my first shot at any animal with a bow. Forgot all about my anchor point and peep even though I had practiced a lot (buck fever anyone?) and just used the pin and let it fly.

    Mady's Bull

    Man that is awesome! Congrats to all of you.

    Mady's Bull

    As far as the outfitters I learned a lot about these guys. Completely changed my attitude! Outstanding guys! The governors tag was after this bull in Sept of last year. Az Ground Pounders also were after bull during the archery hunt. Both came VERY close to killing him. Fortunately for Mady he disappeared and everyone lost tract of him. They both were very excited for Mady! They were excited to put their hands on this bull that they both worked so hard to tag. Thank you Jay, Luke, Gino(A3), Waylon, Cash and Steel(Az Ground Pounders). Both gave her video,pictures and sheds. This is great to see...couple of class acts right there.
