    I know most don’t like cats

    It is so hard when they leave. I have never been much of a cat person but my wife is. She has almost always had a Siamese (46 yr), except the last few years while we waited for the "inherited" rescue cats to pass. They all lived a very long time. I got attached to the last but have not missed the horrendous smell in the bathroom from the cat box and food. We kept the food/box in there to keep the dogs out and the door had a cat door so the cat could come and go. My little Britt is a pig and loves both the food and kitty treats. I'm sure any house guests did a double take with that cat door in the bathroom door. It has been not quite a year since the last cat and Momma wanted a Siamese. She came across this beautiful male, older Siamese (7.5 yr) that an elderly lady was have to rehome. We made the trip an hour up I-10 last week and picked him up. He has cemented himself in our hearts. Still a little skittish, he does not seem to suffer some of the psycho conditions some of the other cats have had. Supper friendly, no biting, and pretty quiet so far. While he is a great cat, I still prefer my Britts but he is great.

    BTECH BF-F8HP-PRO

    The 888 are really simple: a channel knob and a volume, but I understand you can re-program them and get into all kinds of trouble, also. You can even get the police and fire channels.

    34A Goulds Tag

    You will want to call the Region V office and ask for the wildlife Manager for 34A. I know 35A&B is Britt Olsen and she conducts annual surveys with the help of hunters. She is a wealth of information. Perhaps, 34A has the same type things going on. Also, the Gould's Chapter of the NSTF in Sierra Vista is full of turkey fanatics and I am sure has great info. 34A has lots of public access. You will want a USFS map of the area. You are going to have an awesome hunt.

    Ruger no. 1 300win $1000*

    In case you have the s/n: Ruger No. 1 Caliber List and Production Data – Classic Sporting Arms Lots of years for 300 Win Mag. I have been looking for a 460S&W Mag: rare. I bid on one that went for over $2500. While I was looking for the information above, I found this: 2. Are there any rare or limited edition calibers for the Ruger No. 1? Yes, Ruger has released limited edition calibers such as the .375 H&H Magnum and .460 S&W Magnum, which are sought after by collectors and enthusiasts. Good luck with the sale. Beautiful gun.

    There is a new consideration with the advent of the Pointguard Plus -- you get to go to the top of the line.

    Sheep Army, Who Wants In ?

    For my sheep hunt, I had some excellent advice given to me by the outfitter: DON"T INVITE A BUNCH OF WEEKEND WARRIORS. There will be so much pressure to shoot a sheep on the weekend, it can lead to bad issues. Everyone wants to be in that photo. I suppose if you are able to manage expectations of those attending, it can work out.

    Savage rascal or cricket?

    Certainly, the XP or Target version are nicer, but my main point is that the extra weight for a small kid may be a bit much. The length of pull is pretty short. My 7 yr old grandson who is big for 7 could not hold it up but the length of pull is good. It is a classy little gun.

    RV on cold hunt question

    I was on a very cold weather sandhill crane hunt. We stayed at an RV Park so it was no big deal but the water hose froze. You need to use internal water. I also have to the the little Honda generators for power if we go remote -- CPAP and O2 require a fair bit of power and the heater blower is not that big of a current draw and one generator will last all night. The daytimes were not all that cold that it would freeze internal water lines. I would never leave the trailer out all night with no power. The alternate and smart strategy would be to winterize while you are gone. You can NEVER be totally sure when you will get back. We learned that at our trailer park when friends did not make it back up when they hoped. Less than $20 in pink juice to winterize.

    Savage rascal or cricket?

    I prefer the savage also ... note there is Henry Rifle one to consider, also. I would love to get a stock extension for my savage so I could sight it in and use it after grandkids lose interest. I also got the wood stock for future mod capability.
