Tessa was able to kill this giant lion yesterday with the help of Grady Lefebvre and his buddy Josh. It was a long day but well worth it when it comes to hunting with hounds Grady is a bad butt.

So recently I have posted several guns that I don't get much use from, and have become frustrated with members chastising me for selling my gun to a person who did what they said they were going to do and giving me my price for the gun. I was accused of being "Craigslistesh" because the prospective buyer wondered if I ever "get up this way", or guys asking me to come from the far west valley to make it easier on them to make a purchase. Sorry, but no. I once drove to Tucson to buy a gun that a member had for sale and I paid his price, because I wanted that gun. I didn't ask for anything from him! I sold my gun to the first person that arrived with cash. Get over it. To me, it doesn't matter what place "in line" you are. I joined this site nearly 15 years ago to learn about hunting and fishing in Arizona. Now it is mostly a classified ads anyway, so I am sorry that some might be sore at me. Stepped off soapbox

Was a real red liner of a hike but was well rewarded. Had to leave one back there that I’ll have to go back for some time. Side note, I really wish this forum program was better at uploading pictures. Only half of them ever upload and the ones that do are rotated wrong. I don’t have that problem on other forums.

Caught my limit today from the bank. Nearly all dinks but I had to take what Roosevelt would give me

My wife and youngest son were able to complete their field day today in Flagstaff. Heard the class was great and nice new hats were given out at the end. Thanks again Brian and company!

My kid caught 2 lions in one morning, a while back. He let them both walk. They were not mature. He was with the neighbors, (who have hounds..) but his dog was involved.

These machines keep getting better and less expensive as time goes on. I just did 3 dozen eggs from our hens the other day. Yesterday honey crisp apples were on sale for $0.88 /lb so I did 12 lbs of apples. The best thing about FD is we now only buy stuff that’s a great deal on sale and FD it. Saves fridge space too. Longer term storage kept in mylar bags, everyday stuff kept in quart jars in pantry.

My wife found these two by the dog kennel today.

To those who celebrate with family or alone have a peaceful day.

Looks like a bottle of Dr. Pepper. Pretty easy one to guess since it says it on the side actually. Pretty good condition, still full. I would guess it is worth around $1.50-2.00. Probably not as old as you think based on that round lead weight next to it.

Trying to clear out the safe and maybe put together something new so I'm selling this beauty. Ruger no.1 in 4570 with 16 rounds and 24 pieces of brass. Would like $1400 f2f in the East valley.

Was standing on my deck this morning having a cup of coffee, it was quiet with no wind and all of a sudden a Tom goes off Ran in the house and got my box call and had a pleasant conversation with Mr. Tom. Nice way to start the day!

Got it pretty much done. I'll Cerakote it Wednesday. Shot it Saturday. I've only shot 286 Hornady spire points. I'll use Partitions on my hunt. I'm waiting on rings for my Trijicon Credo 1-4. 8 ¼ lbs without sights.

My daughter got her tag. Her words were "you are not going to mansplain sh!t! I will shoot the bull I like the most." Anyone want to share their Hotspot?

He is King, He is Risen, He Saves.

We've been doing whole meals for a couple months now. They turn out pretty good. My daughter has celiac, so finding a place she can eat on the road can be a pain. Now we take FD meals on the road and good to go. My kids love grapes, strawberries and pineapples as a treat.

The key word is "California" enough said.

Just a thought. I had a .410 for my son. Ammo was hard to find and almost $30 a box. For Christmas I bought him a 20ga semi auto for $275. He says it kicks way less and ammo is $9 a box with tons of options.

October, November and December...

I won this in the Jaws and Paws raffle

Gardening is really easy and doesn’t take much of your time, if you invest in good soil. The problem is by the time buy lot of good soil, you could have bough the entire produce section twice the other thing about your time and gardening is when you get a nice garden you’ll find time to tend to it

AZ Cottage food laws. Candy is ok

I acquired this in a trade and it has sat in the safe since. I can't see it getting much use, so I would like to move it on. Ruger new model Single Six in .22 WMR 9" barrel Excellent condition. $400 Located in Catalina, North of Tucson I will not ship this.

Seems like we've had this discussion many times. I agree with thegunsmith2506. 20 ga is so much more prevalent and cheaper. Also, a .410 is an expert's gun and not forgiving. I ended up (30 yrs ago) getting my son this tiny, light, single shot. It kicked pretty good but I reloaded a couple boxes of the lightest load recipes I could find and it didn't take him long at all to get up to the full loads. The single shot taught him to manage the gun properly with the increased safety afforded by a single shot. NOTE: the gun is only good for 1 or 2 seasons due to kid growth and he will want to get to the multiple shot guns as soon as possible. Finally, if you cut down a stock for the first year, be sure to get another full size -- those kids grow really quickly at around 10 yr old.

Looks to be a ball from a ball mill. Used in mining to pulverize hard rock gold ore.
