Big Tub

That be him! And he finally scored on his first big game! It was a great distraction the day after putting his best friend down.

I and my friend were fishing Riggs Flat and just slaying them (Little Rainbows). We cooked a few that were foul hooked for lunch and let all the others go. We went back and continued to slay them on flies and finally decided to pack it in with a couple hours of daylight left. We pulled into shore and was planning to get the Blazer to load the boat. They came to the boat all friendly and asked how fishing was and what not. They were genuinely disappointed to not bust us for doing something nefarious. There were three of them, all in plain clothes. And do you think those guys would help us load the boat onto the top of my Blazer? They took off really quick as if there was others to bust. Hardly anyone was up there at the time. I think they may have sold the good ole boy situation to any others watching if they had helped the two old guys load the boat on top of the Blazer! I realize they deal with the bad guys much of the time and expect the worst. I find it a somewhat humorous story, though.

Are you in Tucson? We may have the same buddy?

28 POSTS? What do you expect?

Santa Cruz too but it has been a while.

I know a bird taxidermist that will bomb his shop once a year for good measure. I had an outbreak and he suggested bagging the turkey fan and setting off one of those little bombs inside the bag. A lot like bats (and rats) -- you hardly ever see the bugs but you often see the left over remnants.

HE LIVES!!!

does it lock?

Today we went gutless instead of field dressing it first, but pretty much did this the same way. One of these years, I might remember the gloves! That is quite a while to age the meat. I have never been that patient nor have had the room in the fridge. One comment on the gloves having dealt with silicone contamination and bonding. If you put your clean glove on with the dirty glove, you will have potentially cross-contaminated the clean glove.

Can you not go buy something and then just return it?

Yah, What Took So LONG?

Not quite sure why the nasty comments? I did pretty well in school and from a copper mining town. I remember there were signs in Safford that specifically listed Copper, Cattle, and Cotton. I did a search and verified that and the same for Graham, Cochise, and Yavapai -- Three C's. Additionally, Facts for now (https://factsfornow.scholastic.com/article?product_id=nbk&type=0ta&uid=10667852&id=a2001460-h): " ...Arizona's economy was dominated by the so-called Three C's. They were copper, cattle, and cotton. Those industries remain important. But today most Arizonans work in services or manufacturing." Certainly the "smaller" counties were behind the times but the Three C's seem prevalent. And now they push seven C's adding cactus and canyons so everyone is included.

I say regular MD. Most of the mulies down where I have hunted for the past 20 yrs have spindly 3 pts on both sides with eyeguards.

I think when I was a kid it was just Copper, Cattle and Cotton

Wyoming area code. Nothing but classified posts. Dang, I sound like Stan now!

What side of town?

all the fancy ballistic tip stuff will not shoot at all for my gun

Amazon must have 20 different kinds/type starting at $20. I ended up getting a Zeiss and am totally impressed but it is pricey if you buy it, $130, but you can easily lock it down with a lever/cam. If you don't mind having to leave the mount on the binos and consequently not carry the binos around your neck, there are some really good prices out there.

Very Nice. I love the quail and sheep.

I thought I was the only one that liked those 130grn corelokts in .270 !!!

MOM, CAN I KEEP HIM?

Well that didn't last long ... should have asked much more!

From nearly 100 tags, why do we have so few members sharing this years stories/pictures ???
