Bears are here about two weeks a year from the end of August to mid September, only when the apples up the Canyon are ripe. Every year after their apple snack they break into my chicken coop and kill... until last year when I electrified my chicken area.

I strung electric wire to keep bears and javelina out... nothing else worked. Foxes, raccoons, and skunks still figure out ways to visit at night. Coyotes haven’t touched the electric wire as far as I have seen, but they seem to know it might hurt. And big cats haven’t shown an interest in the chickens at all... so far. 13629A49-CB2A-43A8-B9FF-A674BF8F7145.MP4 3626D748-AABF-4A50-92CB-BADAF0B95A26.MP4 62DD1B50-27D2-4B9E-A4F2-E5444CB849CE.MP4

Just a swag, 95% of the illegal garbage that used to be left in 35A east of the Huachucas stopped once our section of the wall went up. Much of the old trash is still here but it’s fairly rare to see fresh illegal left-behinds.

What can do you have or do you intend to get?

I don’t have a T3X Lite, but have seen a few a cans mounted on skinny barrels. What caliber is your rifle and what is the muzzle diameter? If you would consider cutting the barrel back a bit, what is the diameter at an acceptable barrel length?

I was watching an 8in spike and a few does midday today. I was wondering where all the fawns are. A few neighbors have seen a lion around over the past week, so... hopefully the newborns are still just hiding out. I was thinking how cool it was watching the critters and then in walks Mr. Normal for a few minutes, and then Mr. Strange shows up.

Good stuff. While going after feral cats, I’ve live-trapped and released 10 or so opossums over the past few years on the east side of the Huachucas just south of Sierra Vista. They all appeared to me to be the same common Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana) that I grew up with in Missouri and Indiana. We used to catch them in live traps and mark them with paint to see if the same critters came back each night. I remember being surprised that we rarely caught a marked individual even with catching an opossum almost every summer night. Just about the only nights we didn’t get an opossum, we trapped a skunk. All fun for a youngin. I’ll look for some pics of my recent trapped opossums.

Almost but not quite an SBR. No wait, no $200 tax. You cant put a vertical fore grip on a pistol so its a nice setup while you wait for your Form 1 approval.

Most 35a bucks have shed with nubs of new growth visible, but I saw a one-sided antler boy a few days ago.

If anyone wants to bring their rifle down and screw on a can or two for comparison, let me know. Or better, if a few people want to come down to demo some cans, lets do it. Maybe hear a TBAC Ultra 5, Ultra 9, SilencerCo Omega, Harvester or Hybrid in person so you can decide for yourself. There are a few places to meet off Hwy 90 not too far south from I-10. Of course, we have to wait until the fire restrictions are lifted. As of now, Coronado NF says no firearms until 31 July, or sooner, depending on when restrictions are lifted.

If a CWT member buys the certificate, I will do the transfer for free. I am down south in Hereford. Info@quiettimesports.com

Talk to the guards about where they are seeing elk. Depending on the hunt you have, and the hunt pressure the previous week, the elk can be anywhere and everywhere.

In 35A, we had gobblers gobbling and strutting in January, then not much in Feb or March, but the Toms were in separate flocks. Toms seem to be mixed with the hens now, but no gobbling or strutting.

Where are you, or the garage, located?

Does anyone here do rotational mold work, or maybe 3D printing? Id like to discuss a project to make a widget about the size of a boot box. I do not know enough about design or manufacturing to say how it should be made. I appreciate your help.

Thread revival... Id like to fix the peeling clear coat on my Snug Top shell. Its on a 2000 dark red Toyota Tundra. Does anyone know somebody near Sierra Vista that can do decent work? A shop here ballparked me $600-700. Thanks.

Very nice. What harness is he using? I have a Petzl kids Simba for my 30lbs 3.5yr old that is still a little big for him.

How is your hunt going? What do you think CN elk hunting will be like in a few weeks?

No hounds, but a good track might be possible. Where do you need the help?

What a special treat to watch bears doing their thing. We have deer around the house nearly every day. The odd days (or parts of the day) when we see no deer, its almost guaranteed that the javelinas or bears show themselves in the neighborhood. I don't think the deer move far, but they certainly don't move much.

Where are you? Thanks.

A couple years old, but some good brake info. http://precisionrifleblog.com/2015/08/21/muzzle-brake-summary-of-field-test-results/ If you are ever down south, let me know if you want to see how your daughter does shooting with a silencer.

Or backyard stopping for some action next to arrow target holder.
