I dont mean to be unsympathetic - but if you seek thrills in areas known for danger, violence, lawlessness and drug traffic - then CRY WOLF when some offense occurs - my feeling is you got the THRILLS you came for. Until our troops are sent with a clear "kick-butt" mission objective to protect our borders... I dont think our tax-payer dollars should be spent to undo STUPID situations - any more than we should commit resources or risk lives for idiots who cross flooded rivers with cars or rescue morons who want to hike mountains along the border of Iran, N Korea or Pakistan??? Stupid is as stupid does! I hear what your saying and I agree with you to a certain extent but if you follow your logic then anyone who hunts in the low part of this state is "stupid." South of Tucson is no Disneyland 36c is a war zone. But its not going to stop me from hunting down there. if I have to live in fear in my country then the founding fathers fail and what they sacrifice was for nothing. To clarify - I have sympathy and outrage for Mrs. Kranz, the rancher who lost her husband there along the border. I also would be thrilled if my taxes were spent in their defense. But that is their home - and was their home long b4 this drug war became such a blood bath. No where in my earlier post did I intend to imply sportsmen on the border are stupid. But you must agree that you are taking a greater risk than similar hunters in units away from the border. So having advanced knowledge of the dangers inherent in the area - then acting surprised or outraged when something bad happens as a result of being there wont move me in the same way as Mrs Kranz widowed and likely displaced from the land she and her late husband poured their souls into. On the contrary, to jet ski on a lake KNOWN for piracy and violence... even cruising across onto the MX side as if to say "NEE-NER, NEE-NER", then dricry "FOUL!" because some Frito Bandito earned his marksman's stripes using your thrill-seeking, perhaps even taunting melon for a target. Thats different. I havent been exposed to the beauty or the bounty of lower hunting units, but thems who have tell me it is worth the risk. I wont be competing there for tags or critters - until such time as our goverment makes a greater effort to secure the border. To you and others down there, stay safe and good hunting!

Lost the truck - but kept the bling! 305-50-20 with Falcon low profile performance tires Came off 06 Nissan Armada - told the 6-lug pattern will fit other applications like Chevy trucks - not certain though so please dont ask me. These are nearly new, paid almost $3300 with tax, tire tread is 80% plus. Our loss - your gain, $800 for all four. Cash only. Kurt 602-524-2332

My son Grant is 12 and loves the outdoors and hunting! After a disappointing hunt last year, I made arrangements to ensure a memorable hunt with Mullins Outfitters. This may come to sound like a Mullins commercial, but I am a HUGE fan of Jim Jr.[COOSEFAN], his dad Jim Sr, and the outstanding service we received from Mullin's team members Glen, Brian [bUTTERS] and Mullins friends like Brian "lucky" Hurley - who actually glassed up Grant's cow on Sunday afternoon. If you ask yourself why would anyone hire an outfitter for a youth cow hunt instead of a trophy antler hunt of some kind - you need only look at the expressions on our faces... it felt every bit like my hunt, even though my boy was the shooter. We arrived to find a very comfortable camp and hot grub all set up for us. It was rather cold opening day and that rotten weather that clobbered the valley was complicating matters for predicting elk behavior. We were into and on elk all weekend, but sitting tanks was not very productive and was not the hunting experience that the Mullins wanted for us. Besides we seemed to attract only bulls, which was exciting and good exposure for Grant, but Jim said he wouldn't allow us to saw the bull's horns off. We had friends who had scored at/near tanks, others were successful with spot n stalk... our secret weapon was Mullins experience and 'help from above'. Jim Sr, Glen, Brian 'Butters" and Hurley each took turns glassing from high points and calling instructions to us based on small herd movement. To our surprise, bulls were still with cows - so Grant got to hear bugling and witnessed, up-close-and-personal, Jim Jr. called-in a 3-peticle drop tine bull that gave us a show from about 20yrds while Jim talked dirty to keep him interested. Brian and Glen glassed-up a few cows in a wicked canyon on Saturday morning and cow gave Grant his taste of long range disappointment - which was a blessing in disguise because even with Brian's dad Dennis and their horses nearby offering to help any hunters in the area - it would have been a huge task to get the cow out without losing meat due to rising temps. Glen cautioned us that after 2days, Jim will ratchet up the intensity - even though were already wildly successful in seeing elk and getting a shot across that canyon at about 350yrds. By day 3 Jim warned us things could get a "a little nutty" - which they did. The elk had been pushed and chased for a few days - and Jim had kept us well away from any of the high traffic areas - in fact we didnt see one hunter in our hunting areas during our 3 days... sure we saw some fellas in Rhinos and trucks - but the Mullins wanted us to have a man-venture, unmolested and safe hunt... they delivered in spades! We had walked our butts off and my knees were SHOT... but I kept my mouth shut and took lots of Advil. Our spotters had noticed a sanctuary of sorts where the elk seemed to be hiding, and would only appear in late afternoon. Jim decided that despite how thick the cover was - we could at least get into some action with help from our spotters. Sunday afternoon Hurley spotted the elk, right where they had been hiding before and we hauled butt to get into position. Although Mullins had filmed his entire hunt, Jim Jr. told Jim Sr and me that we would have to sit-this-stalk-out. It was a long shot to sneak up on a herd of about 15 and he didnt want the exposure of 2 extra fellas. I was texting my wife that Grant was on an unlikely stalk when I heard from the spotters that the group of elk had run into the flats and the stalk was over. Little did I know that Jim Jr. and Grant had made 2-3 attempts to talk their way into the thick stuff - then backed out. Having heard the stalk was fubar I grabbed Jim's pack and headed towards the truck as I was told to do if we weren't successful. As I got into the thick stuff I 'bout soiled myself as I busted an elk at close range - not sure if it was a cow or bull, not sure if I had ruined my boy's stalk... I hit the deck as I heard Jim cow-calling. What I didnt know was there was one last cow that didnt bail with the herd... Jim and Grant had been trying to coax her into the open so he could get a shot. In my accidental way, I helped get that cow into the open long enough for Jim to get her attention with a cow call. When she came out and hesitated for a moment, Jim told Grant that if he had a clear shot to take it! With so much cover the only option Grant had was a head-shot - which he took at about 75yrds from Jim's tripod using his Grandpa's 25-06. The spotters said the heard both the report of the rifle and the SMACK of the impact to her head from a mile and half away! Jim and G told me the concussion shook her melon so hard that her head snapped back and dust flew everywhere! Then strangely enough she turned and pogo-stick hopped on her hind legs a few times - perhaps instinct told her she was in a fight with another cow?? She didnt drop right away which really scared me - Jim Sr said successful head shots usually drop them where they were struck - or you often didn't recover the animal. Clearly Grant had hit her hard. She left a blood trail the likes of which I wish I had had on critters I had shot in the past... Grants shot had severed her jugular vein and she managed to run about 200yrds with her throat shot out... before she coughed out a HUGE puddle of blood and expired a few yards away. Of course he's gotta call his mom and tell her all about his man-venture!!! If God didnt want us to eat animals He wouldnt have made them out of meat! I cant say enough about the professional service and kindness we received from the Mullins Team! They made us feel like kings in camp and in the field! We were successful and satisfied long before my son harvested his first big game animal - they saw to every detail and delivered a memorable hunt - that we will never forget. THANK YOU JIM, JIM, GLEN, BRIAN, and HURLEY! We will never forget the experience y'all delivered. I am thankful most especially to the Good Lord for keeping us safe and allowing us to humanely harvesting one of His beautiful creatures. ... although the explanations for Brian's "butter knife" nickname was over the top disgusting!!!

cant wait to hear the snoring clip - I'm convinced my wife has been lying all the years!

put a factory green irridium laser on it and you'll never want to sell it!!!

COLUMBIA, S.C. – When things looked their darkest for Gov. Mark Sanford — when he was in danger of being impeached for running off to Argentina to see his mistress — his best insurance policy may well have been South Carolina's lieutenant governor, Andre Bauer. Lawmakers knew if they removed Sanford, they would end up with Bauer, a fiercely ambitious Republican with a reputation for reckless and immature behavior. Now Bauer has folks shaking their heads again, after he likened government assistance to the poor to feeding stray animals. At a town hall meeting Thursday, Bauer, who is running for governor in his own right now that Sanford is term-limited, said: "My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed! You're facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don't think too much further than that." I say this same thing often - but not at town hall meetings when I am a trying to get elected to a public office. Perhaps he forgot that in SC the hungry animals actually vote... especially when you piss them off!

I hope there is someone in the family to carry on the ranching legacy and tend to Mrs Krentz - real American cowboys are an endangered species! I also wish there were minutemen or servicemen to tend the that mexican tool who took him! Gotta figure it was about drug traffic and not illegal immigration... who in their right mind would wanna come to the u.s. now that obama and his shitcago buddies have gang-raped it for the last year? I say lets bring our troops home! Stop spilling u.s. blood and wasting us dollars on countries who hate us no matter what we do... relocate our military installations along the border and let our ICBM's handle off-shore diplomacy!

... not yet, just ckecked sorry

bump-bump, bump it up!

sent ya a pm Jim - good to hear from you! opening is 6' tall and just under 8' wide, 6 matching trailer tires [2 spares] with only about 2-3 trips empty weight is 4300 and gvw fully loaded to max 10,400. forgot to measure to the first cabinet like one of y'all asked... but it is a very open. we fit 4 quads or my lifted samurai jeep fit nicely inside. Done several things to make the unit more comfortable and secure. has the roll-down tent door with bug screens to keep the back deck open and bugs out. Made some custom bars to hold the back deck level for a patio or even an enclosure. had black-out privacy curtains made to keep morning lite from waking up the wife and kids - so I can enjoy my coffee in peace! Installed very nice privacy curtains so the upper compartment is private for me and the Mrs. Made cabinet-doors to close off the sunroof in rear compartment - again so the cab stays dark during morning hours. added storage bins, 12v outlets and circulating fan for the upper compartment. Added an extra cabinet that was wasted space over the frig and a drawer in the kitchen.

Bump with quad trade consideration added... would also condider trade credit for well-built shed/garage!
