+1 to pre cooling. I keep a gallon jug frozen for just that purpose. Throw it in the night before and you are ready in the am.

Welcome! You will love all of our public land. Your new hobby involves staring through expensive binos for hours on end. Lots of good (and knowledgeable) folks here to help you. May be an adjustment for the Mrs but it will grow on her. For some reason after two years they won’t want to leave Az but it can be a bit of an adjustment at first. This is based on two of my personal observations that include my Mom’s reaction in 1981 and my Wife’s reaction in 2015. oh, and they don’t seem like it but those Eegee’s drinks have way more calories than they seem.... Enjoy the Old Pueblo!

For sure, naps in the field are the best especially if you can avoid the unseen ant pile.

Great looking o/u! Will make a great partner in the field for a young person or small framed adult. I learned to hunt upland game with a side by side. Nothing makes you focus more than knowing you only have two chances! Unless you only have one..

My boots are Danner too but I think it’s in how you lace them. This has ruined more hunts for me than I care to admit. Wearing sneakers on day two sucks. I need to experiment with lacing strategies like the ones at the 8:00 mark on this video. I have also gone to superfeet (Green) insoles too and now use the white base layer sock at REI also. I also bought ArmaSkin anti blister socks but haven’t tested them throughly yet. If you solve this issue keep us posted. Also, there are lots of other boot lacing videos online. I need to try these and go hit Black Mountain to test it. Good Luck!

Awesome taking the family out. Sounds like they learned some things and will have a story to tell their friends. Before you know it they will be grown and off on their own adventures. Keep it up and thanks for sharing.

Sounds like you are hoping to buy used. Lots of folks out there selling their trailers don’t know what they are worth. That can work for you or against you if you don’t educate yourself. Think about what you’re going to use it for and then think about what else you could use it for. The more versatile a trailer the better, for ownership and resale. For example, A car hauler will certainly carry your utv but the utility trailer will not necessarily carry a car or truck. You can often find someone selling a 10,000 pound GVW trailer priced like the 7000 pound GVW trailers that are most car haulers. You can see that by looking at how many wheel lugs are on the rim. Five (3500# axle) versus six (5000# axle) in my example. My other tip is know your budget and have cash on hand. Good deals don’t last long, if you see an ad go up at 7pm, try to get there that night. I recently told a guy I was on my way and texted a pic of the cash so he knew I was serious. He actually cancelled other appts as he knew I was not kicking tires. My buddy bought a PJ dump trailer from a guy that didn’t know what he had and my pal recognized the faded upside down triangle sticker as their logo and got it for $2500 (a $5-7k trailer). Echoing PJ, they are the highest quality trailer I have seen, I’d buy any PJ with confidence. They will be a little heavier than other trailers but that’s just because they use more material. They sell and resell for a premium. Personally, I would not make the 24 hour round trip to Amarillo and unless I was pheasant hunting to in Kansas too. You can also get a good deal if they need a new floor Or need new wiring, these are pretty easy jobs. I have done 3 trailer floors myself. I saw that Lamar markets to hunters on their website. I like companies that don’t shy away from us sportsman. pm me if you want to chat more good luck and have fun!

Great meeting you all. What a great family! Glad they got to meet the ponies and Ellie the wonder dog!

Congrats on finding them homes. Your male looks to be from Czech working lines. Great looking dogs!

Would it be weird if I “loved” this statement? Chicken Fried Steak sounds amazing right now. Must be close to dinner time! Congrats on the bull!

I can do more damage in an Ace Hardware than my Wife can do in a Kohls. Seems like I always find stuff I didn't know I needed. Staff is always helpful too.

Casey's is a well regarded shop http://caseysprocessing.com/

These are gone pending pick up! I have two takers. Hopefully the young hunters have great success with this gear!

Yeah, thought there was enough distance for him to get outta town. That river trick might have worked for him with wolves in the past but looks like it made the griz’s job a little easier.

Too soon?

You got it! Text me tomorrow and swing by when you can.

Joe, would you mind posting a pic of the two gas ports next time you get the 1100 out? I’m curious about the size and location relative to the original gas port in the new hole he drilled. Thanks!

Cheers to our women not realizing they could have done better, or putting up with us anyhow. Oh, and I’m pretty sure he was just joshing you, but good for you coming to her defense as she would you. As you know, in life, if your spouse won’t have your back, no one else will.

Also when you clean it, hit that gas port on the barrel with a pipe cleaner. Physically cleaning it out. My 1100 did the same thing until I started paying close attention to that. Shooting high base loads helps too. I was told the newer ones have two gas ports like Joe said.

By that definition I guess they can’t ship a toothbrush either, with duct tape you can mount anything to anything and anything can be fashioned into a weapon. At a certain point, what is that phrase about arguing with an idiot?

Thank you for being the first one to mention egg shells in this thread! I was thinking I was on the REI site for a second (not that there is anything wrong with that). I wish I would have bought stock in Medaglia before this thread went live. Apparently there are two things we like here, panic buying ammo and coffee! Like moths to a flame or a duck on a June bug as they say. Seriously , I am ordering that D’Oro stuff too.
