    2 Unit 27 tags filled! My wife's first big game animal. .

    Awesome...I'll be in 27 for the late tag. Hopefully still some gobbling by then. Congrats to your wife on an awesome first kill!
  4. Assuming I have access to the equipment, is reloading shotshells worth it? Any cost savings? Are the primers, powder, etc in same short supply as for rifle and handgun reloading? (Showing my ignorance here...I don't honestly know if the powder and primers are the same or not) I've saved lots of empty hulls and hate to just throw them away, but I don't want to waste my time either if not worth it... Thanks!

    Southeast Tucson trap/skeet range

    Just a quick update here...and a plug for a great facility. Went out there this morning and shot a couple rounds of trap. No comments on how I shot, but had a great time. Check it out if you have a chance...hopefully will expand the hours once better established and more folks shooting. Quite a few folks there today, and even had a couple waiting when we left.

    2014-2015 deer regs.

    I like the archery OTC tag breakdown too. Much easier to read and nice to see Dec archery whitetail hunt in 34a again.

    Amazon best cutomer service

    Have alway had nothing but great customer service from Amazon. Most recently, I ordered the wrong size nerf bars for my truck and they let me exchange with no return shipping charge even though it's not their policy if order the wrong size. I try to support local businesses as much as possible but Amazon is hard to beat!

    WTB diesel auxiliary tank

    I know it's a stretch, but thought I'd throw it out here. Looking for an auxiliary diesel tank for my truck, preferably near Tucson. Toolbox combo would be ideal. Watching craigslist and have missed a couple...let me know if you have one to get rid of... Thanks!

    A little Carp fishing

    TJ are those also sterilized to prevent reproduction? One of my neighbors bought a few and put them in the lake behind the house where I grew up...suckers got huge and I always wanted to shoot them with my bow. My dad told me about the neighbor and kindly suggested that I not shoot them since they weren't common carp. They definitely helped control the lily pads on that lake.

    Rancher Showdown

    Little guy against big govt...no matter who's correct, the little guy will almost always win, especially if it goes to court. This principle was actually taught in a government contracting class I had to take...

    DIY air cooler

    I thought this was pretty cool...especially for the early season deer camps or travel trailer while dry camping without AC power. Heck I may make one just for using in the garage in the summer!

    Today Is The Day.....

    This is the kinda thread I needed today...some good ole beer drinkin, sack kickin, youtubin....man I'm glad YouTube wasn't around in college. Hear the phrase "hold my beer and watch this" a few too many times. I'll be watchin on YouTube and sippin some TN whiskey. Will be nice if it's today so I can get the painful reality over with and move on to Plan B and C.
  24. I'd still like to see an explanation or citation of the law that disallows charging up front...maybe I missed it on here or misunderstood, but that's been my understanding that it's somehow against the law. Other states certainly are able to charge up front and refund later.

    the OFFICIAL 2014 elk results thread.

    Gotta agree with Devil Diver Down on this one...like it or not, the regs say 4/18 and anything earlier is a bonus. G&F reposting what the regs say as an "update" is sort of lame though. Can anyone explain the "law" that prevents them from charging everyone up front and issuing refunds to those not drawn? Other states certainly accomplish this...they state that results will be posted on a certain date and none of this drama...hmmm. As for the hijacking of this thread...anyone who thought folks would actually wait to post here doesn't know the CWT crowd very well.
