    Unit 27 Semi Live Late Bull Hunt

    Did he give it time to bleed out, or just keep shooting? Was he in close quarters with it? I have seen a cow elk take massive damage and keep moving but she was very close to the shooters and the adrenaline was pumping and keeping her on her feet. The other 4 cows I have been around when shot were at longer ranges (150-350yrds) and they didn't know where the shooter was, or what was going on. They all dropped from 1 or 2 shots and ran less then 40 yards each.

    Shred him on the gun, hat, and camo, but the boots are legit. I love mine.

    Unit 27 Semi Live Late Bull Hunt

    What bullet? I hit my cow elk with one 135gr Berger Classic Hunter from a 6.5x55. She went 40 yards tops. Her lungs were shredded.

    Reverse osmosis filter

    Was it a sediment/prefilter?

    Reverse osmosis filter

    Yup. This reminds me, I need to change my pre-filter.

    Smoking prime rib, then travel

    Foil wrap it, wrap it in towels and put it in a cooler. It will probably carryover cook a little, but probably not to much.

    Reverse osmosis filter

    Does it feed into the RO system? If so, it is probably a sediment filter. I have a pre-filter before my main filters that take a cartridge that looks like a big toll of string. Discountfilters.com Email them that pic, and I bet they know what it is. They shipped my last order quickly and were good to deal with.

    Payson People Road Conditions?

    We went off Colcord east of Young Highway because the road wasn't covered in deep unbroken snow. We ended up with a pine tree, but not a Doug Fir or Spruce that some people really want. If the roads were better we would have looked harder for something a little more full and thick, but we ended up with a nice big pine tree that makes the house smell nice and looks fine too.
  9. How bad is it up there right now? How many inches are on the ground? To me it seems like ADOT is adopting the CA model of road closures right now. If it has a single snowflake, shut it down. We want to come up and cut a tree in tonto, but everything is closed.

    Xmas Tree Cutting In Tonto?

    I went off of Colcord road south of the 260 off of the Young Highway. We ended up with a nice big pine, but we didn't see a lot of Douglas Fir or other "preferred" Christmas trees. I believe there are some in that area from what the lady at Tonto told me, but the roads and forest roads were pretty nasty so we didn't want to venture to far off the beaten path with 10" of snow on the ground.

    Bunch o’ stuff

    I have customers in Tempe and Chandler so I can probably make that work. Let me measure my kids feet in the am and see if they are going to work.

    I am interested in the danner boots. Where are they located?

    Diesel Gelling?

    They dip a sample of fuel from your tank and look for the red coloring. Road diesel is greenish, dyed offroad diesel is red.

    Stuck

    Make sure you do alot of shovel work on that before you try and yank it out.

    Payson People Road Conditions?

    We went up today and cut our Christmas tree. The main roads were not bad, the 512 road south of 260 headed toward Young was a little dicey in the am but mostly good by 130pm when we left. We picked a tree off Colcord road. Colcord wasn't bad, but it was snow pack. It was all starting to melt some when we left, and I image will be a muddy nasty mess in the next few days.
  16. I use winchester 296 in my heavy 44 mag loads. Winchester 231 or unique in my lighter loads. If you are hunting with it I like hornady XTP bullets. If just target, you can use lead or cheaper jacketed bullets.

    Payson People Road Conditions?

    Do they plow the road between Young and the 260?

    Payson People Road Conditions?

    Update, the 260 appears to be open. How much snow did payson, forest lakes, heber, or show low get?

    Nov. 29 Current Road Closures

    I am thinking ADOT is using the California model of snow closures. Any snow means shut it down. None of the ADOT cameras look like the roads are that bad. They probably just don't want to deal with the wreck cleanup from idiots.

    Diesel Gelling?

    I In colder parts they blend diesel to reduce gelling. I would put some in because we may not have a blended fuel yet. You probably dont need it, but it would suck to find out the hard way.

    Diesel Gelling?

    Dont take the chance. Get the white bottle power service or Howes. Both of those got me through a winter in ND. Its $18 for piece or mind. Do it.

    Xmas Tree Cutting In Tonto?

    I was thinking about hitting the road to Young south of the 260 also, but was trying to avoid driving up that far if something was available closer to Payson. The wife is talking about wanting to drag the trailer up there and snow camp on Saturday and Sunday.

    Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

    I personally only do no-gi right now. Knock on wood I have not had any major bjj related injuries. I have aggravated old football injuries, but not caused anything new. I trust most of the guys in my gym, and I am a giant so it helps keep me out of bad positions for damage from newer guys. They will come I am sure, but I keep the ego checked at the door and do my best to not damage others in hopes they will do the same. Muay Thai isn't going to be on my list of things to do. No strikes for me, football gave me plenty of blows to the head to go around.

    Bore Scope?

    How do you clean that, standard brushing and solvent?
