It really has nothing to do with hoarding it has to do with being prepared! I had this problem with .22 10 years ago. I told myself I would never be caught without what i need. In the last 10 years ive been able to buy anything i want at least 5 or 6 of those years.

All black? I’d be asking for a DNA test but that’s just me.

If anyone is looking for a lab pup my buddy Mark has a litter of 10 non-papered labs. All of them are black. 5 males and 5 females. The father is my yellow Lab “Gus” He is the most mellow lab I’ve ever been around: He is great around the house and great with kids. Loves water, great retriever. Hasn’t been hunted but not gun shy at all. Mom is a chocolate “Kc” also not hunted but great family pet. Really soft coat and she’s in the pool everyday. 1 week old currently. Located in Marana $500 each with $200 deposit Contact Mark at 520 955 141six

Wife killed it tonight whipping up some spicy bluefin poke over rice. Incredible!

SOLD I was going to put this on an auction site but would like to offer to members here first. Posting here for 3 days. I realize this is a lot of money but this is a lot of gun. The combination is like having 4 guns due to the combinations of barrels and buttstocks. This is an Orvis Uplander (Beretta) O/U 20/28 gauge. It comes with a beautiful leather canvas case that is very well constructed. Weights 17 pounds empty. Wood is exceptional and done in an oil finish. The two barrel set marked 1 and 2 in Gold are 28” 20 gauge and 26 inch 28 gauge comes with original set of chokes and wrenches. This set was made in 1999 sports an oil finish on the wood and fitted forends for each barrel. The receiver and barrels are done in a very attractive blank Onyx finish. The gun was originally ordered with a LOP 13” Straight stock with a leather covered pad. A Coles extra butt stock was added with a black Decelerator pad LOP 14 5/8”. Gun weighs 6 lbs 8 OZ with either barrel set. Single selective trigger. I have only measured the stock with the longer stock installed. DAH IS 2 3/8” DAH is 1 1/2”. Shot very little and is in 98% condition.i understand this is the same as Coles 686 OYNX Pro which sells for $4500 without the extra stock and fine case. This would make a great Father / Child , or Grandfather/ Grandchild or Husband/ Wife set to share. See pictures for details. Please contact me direct by text at 520 975 0830 . I will respond in the order the messages are received. I am happy to ship to your FFL if you wish. I will only ship in a wood shipping crate which I will have built. The total Cost of crate, priority shipping with insurance will be a flat total of $100 extra with dove season just around the corner followed by quail season this could be just the ticket to a family gun in which years of memories will be made. Priced picked up in Tucson. $3100 Thanks Phil

It's not just a couple of calibers. There is a lot of shooting related items that are hard to come by. I am definitely looking to "hoard" some stuff over the next couple of years, Getting sick of this election cycle stuff.

Reload your own or buy what you need for a year when you have the cash. Just like left over tags I guess, no promises these days.

Looks like Jed and A3 helped pit down another big bull. I hope they stayed off the res this time.

Most important ingredient of course is some raw tuna loin cubed in bite size chunks. You also need to get the killer sushi rice. Uncle Ben's ain't going to cut it (not racist). I think the stuff Amanda got was Nishiki. Also need some chili oil and maybe some siracha for the spicy part, maybe soy sauce if you like some salt. Carrots, green onion, sesame seeds, avocado, cucumber and whatever else you want in there. We did not have any seaweed flakes or masago or anything like that but I bet that is good in there.

Star drag reels generally have lighter spools and have better freespool which translates to better casting and better for fishing live bait. These reels also have the 3 screw takedown on the handle side which will make maintenance a breeze compared to a lever drag. Star drag reels typically have a spool tensioner than LD's don't. The 12 and 15 sizes in the Star Drag version also have magnetic braking for cast control. Good Question!

I think what I like about this thread is how frustrated you are that you have to actually look for antelope. Good job on the pose Cliff but you need to snuggle into that critter a little tighter. Like a jr high dance, push up tight.

I just snuck into 55 yards from 6 does and what I thought was a buck. Unfortunately the buck moved before I got in position. Really cool stalk. On an earlier stalk I got within 25 yards of a bedded buck, unfortunately when I lifted my head from crawling I had snuck into 5 yards of a bedded doe. When she spooked she took him with her.

Clifhunter was able to get a buck this morning. He killed the last known alive buck in the unit!!!!

I decided to take a break from my buck unit and hunt does. I got this doe within 10 minutes of arriving to my doe unit. Spot n stalk.

I was going through some old articles yesterday and found a couple that you folks might enjoy. THE LAST SHOT was the monthly column I did for AZ HUNTER & ANGLER for several years. This one is from waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back, and I bet some of you can add to it. THE LAST SHOT COPYRIGHT BY TONY MANDILE MURPHY WAS AN OUTDOORSMAN Three decades of roaming the great outdoors in search of fish and game has taught me a lot. I have become familiar with many of Arizona's good hunting and fishing spots. By learning from my mistakes, I have honed my techniques so my successes have occurred regularly. On the other hand, some of my experiences have convinced me Murphy's "anything that can possibly go wrong will go wrong" neatly applies to hunting and fishing. In fact, I have no doubt Murphy was, indeed, an outdoorsman! So, with an air of lightness and humor, I'll relate some of the "Murphyisms" I have gathered over the past 30 years. Some have been my actual experiences, but I refuse to say which ones. (SMILE) First, let's take a look at what I lovingly refer to as the "famous last words list." Most of these were uttered by my hunting and fishing partners, of course. "We won't need that much food. We'll eat some of the fish we catch." "I don't need a compass. I've never been lost in my life." "In 4-wheel drive, my truck can go anywhere." "Don't worry about climbing over it. That barbed-wire fence might look a little shaky, but the staples will hold." "My rifle still should be sighted in from last year." "Yea, I've eaten that kind of wild mushroom before. They're harmless." "We'll take my truck. I just had everything checked out on it." "I'll lend you one of my air mattresses that doesn't leak." "Nah, leave your raingear in camp. The weatherman said it won't rain this weekend." "We'll cook the roast in a pit while we're hunting. When we get back to camp, dinner will be ready." "I never forget the salt and pepper (substitute toilet paper, lantern fuel, forks or any other necessary item)." "Hey, I've had a trainer work with that dog for months. He'll stand rock-solid until you bust out the birds." "Oh yea, it's the gentlest horse in the string. We usually let the kids ride it." "We can leave the food out. I've never seen bears around here." "Heck yes, it's easy; we catch a limit of trout every time." "I sure can't understand how anyone can miss an elk." "Yes, I'm positive I put the plug in the boat." "No, these boots won't leak. They have a lifetime guarantee." Now, here are some probable "Murphyisms" you might encounter if you spend enough time in the outdoors. Wading to a good fishing spot often results in the water being at least an inch higher than your boots or waders. The one time in 15 years a game warden stops at your camp and asks to see your license, you discover it's in your wallet. Unfortunately, the wallet is still on your dresser at home. The rod-tip you step on and break will be attached to your newest, high-priced graphite rod, which you bought on a close-out sale at half-price. If a fish throws a lure as you are getting ready to net it, it never will be a small one. After you've hunted for four days without seeing a buck, a trophy will run across the road just as you leave camp and head for home. Naturally, the sun had set an hour earlier. You travel to a place where the fishing has been outstanding. While you are there, a new Guiness record will be set for the longest period without anyone on the lake getting a bite. While you're out hunting, a heavy rain moves in and you soon discover on your return to camp that the tent leaked. Invariably the one little leak soaked your sleeping bag. The only time anyone ever asks whether you got your deer is when you haven't. If you take your wife fishing, she always will outfish you, regardless of how skilled she is. You bring a new bird-dog pup home and quickly find he likes chewing things. His first chew toy was a new pair of $250 Tony Lama boots. A covey of quail will rise anytime you have your shotgun unloaded to cross a fence line. When you start catching fish on a specific lure, you will snag and lose it. Worst yet, it was the only one in your tackle box. The dealer who sold you the outboard motor stocks over 8,000 parts for it. The one you need, however, is currently out of stock and will take 6 weeks for delivery. This only happens when you're leaving for the lake the next day. The shortcut you take to get back to camp always ends at a steep cliff or impenetrable maze of catclaw. You finally get to camp and discover that your buddies, thinking you would spend the night afield, ate your share of dinner. A good hatch will occur as soon as you climb out of your waders, break down your flyrod and head for the car. If you can't drink your coffee without sugar, you can bet the guy responsible for getting the groceries forgot it. You will drop your tackle box only when you haven't latched the lid tightly. When you take pictures of the biggest fish or the best buck you have ever taken, the photo processor will lose the film. You buy a new baitcasting reel and practice with it for weeks. Then your first cast in front of your guide results in a hopeless bird's nest. As the guide cuts it out with his knife, you notice he isn't smiling. Teach a beginner how to tie a fool-proof knot, and the next fish you hook will untie yours. The novice, no doubt pretending he didn't see it happen, will turn his back. Whoever is cooking breakfast will turn out perfect eggs until it's your turn to eat. Although you ordered sunny-side-up, you will eat scrambled eggs or nothing; all of the eggs are gone. Your outboard motor runs great for the entire 20 miles to the far end of Roosevelt Lake. This is not the case on the return trip, however. You never fall on your rifle scope and knock it out of whack five minutes AFTER you have an opportunity at a good trophy. If you are walking back to camp along a road and someone stops to offer a ride, the vehicle will break down. By the time you get back to camp, you are tired, hungry and look like a backyard mechanic. Without fail, no one remembered to bring soap. You're probably nodding your head and saying, "Boy I remember the time....." Well, here's a little story that might have some significance if you fly commercial airlines in your pursuit of game and fish. A hunter walked up to the airline check-in counter, placed his three bags on the scale and handed his ticket to the pretty blond behind the counter. The reservation clerk smiled. "Good morning, Mr. Jones. I see you are going to Anchorage today. Is this all of your luggage?" "Yes, mam, that's it. Oh, before I forget; I would like these two sent to Anchorage and the gun case shipped to Detroit." Looking somewhat puzzled by the strange request, the comely girl's expression went serious. "I'm sorry, sir, but we can't do that. Your luggage must go to the final destination on your ticket." "What do you mean you can't do it! You did it the last time I flew on your airline." ----- 30 -----

I know this is an old post, but I was just looking through my FIL's copy of this month's Western Horseman magazine. The feature article is on the ORO ranch, it mentions that Chad Smith runs the ranch and that he was a hunting guide. Apparently they didn't do a Google search of Chad, or did and didn't care.

i know that spot. never saw your cam but the one on the big alligator has been there for years. lee

They are starting to peel.

You've got a way with the ladies.

Found a pretty good buck. Just off water.

Getting a few quotes back. A 30x40 DIY carport kit starts around $6500 add about $1K for each enclosed side or the back engineered plans $550 add tax and you’re at $10K this doesn’t include a slab, I was quoted $6K or $5 per sq ft, I’m leaning towards gravel

What do think he will score?

I'll usually find a decent spot before Archery Deer/ August. And then the rains come and screw up the patterns. At least I'm having fun doing this.
