    Fire Ban

    +100 on all counts. Watching a propane fire ring just isn’t the same...

    Ruger .357 magnum $450

    If you comment on it that bumps it to the top. I just did too...passed one of these up several years ago on a really good deal. Wish I’d bought it.

    Turkey unit 27

    I only hunted turkeys up there a couple times before the fire but they seem to be in the same areas I’d seen them before and more. They seem to like the burns too... might be up there next weekend for youth hunt if I can find out how the roads are...plus this system coming in this weekend may make things sloppier.

    Turkey unit 27

    Immediately following the fire I think they were displaced, but the past few years I’ve seen them in the same places as always plus a lot in the burns. I’d say go back to the areas you know and should be fine.

    I can refer you to my doc Snippy Coldhands...he does a great job.

    I don’t know about a guide, but a decent guild would never do that.

    Junior turkey tags/where to buy?

    Seems like any OTC tag would be doable online...print and mail so obviously a little delay. If you buy in person at AZGFD office they print them just like a draw tag anyway...

    Wal-Mart and Ace hardware are my best bets near me.

    Social Separation Canning

    I’ve thought this since I was a kid helping my mom jar all kinds of stuff...LoL even the jars, lids, etc at the store are labeled canning jars and canning supplies..

    Free camo

    I never knew this...have sent a bit to Goodwill and have a buddy who constantly seems to be rotating his closet and asks me if I want it or know anyone. He’s a vet too so I’m sure he’d love to donate.

    Anyone have Kinfolk in Tennessee?

    We actually used a gasline as a landmark on my uncle’s farm and reference point for various fields and tree stands...doesn’t make for a good background in a pic though since it’s mostly underground. LoL

    I have kinfolks in TN...those aren’t the powerlines I know though.

    Change of Plans

    Might actually get to take my daughter turkey hunting since her school event opening weekend got cancelled...hopefully not super crowded youth hunt since all the weekend sports and other activities on hold.

    Sold- delete

    742 reminds me of my brother’s first deer rifle...we both killed several deer with that one. I probably should have kept it. LoL

    Funny I clicked this thinking about whiskey...that’s barrel proof though. LoL

    Effects of the virus scare?

    I’m no expert, but I’ll tell you some of what we’ve been hearing at work. And I agree the panic is out of control, especially the run on toilet paper. the difference from common flu and other more severe flu is it spreads differently (some say more easily but that’s not clear that I’ve seen) and can be more severe symptoms requiring hospitalization. It can end up as a severe pneumonia resulting in hospitalization and sometimes requiring intubation. It’s probably a given that it’s going to be widespread over time but slowing the progression and the “spike” of how many how fast is important to prevent overwhelming hospital capacity. A good description of this in a couple of articles about flattening the curve. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/11/science/coronavirus-curve-mitigation-infection.html so all the precautions with canceling events and minimizing travel helps slow the spread and flatten the curve...prolonging things but preventing the system capacity from being overwhelmed. Hope that makes sense and again I’m no expert. If the system gets overwhelmed I’m sure I’ll get pulled off the bench to go help operate portable hospitals somewhere like I have after hurricanes...hopefully before hunting season. LoL

    Effects of the virus scare?

    Maybe a typical media spin of wording, but also you can have the virus but no symptoms...I think that’s where they’re differentiating being “sick” with symptoms as disease vs virus. Technically you can argue whether and infection is a disease and muddy the water even more.
