My son and I played cat and mouse with a Tom opening weekend but four times in 3 hours he wouldn't commit and we never got a glimpse of him. I named him Mr No. We tried again this morning for almost 6 hours and walked almost 3 miles but never crossed him. When we set camp yesterday we found this little guy. My son took ho 4 Runner and I took my F-250, stopped in Strawberry for some empanadas and had camp setup by about 4pm after the 100 mile drive from Mesa. About 6:30 the two of us were sitting around when we heard a sound almost like a cat screech. I looked in the direction of it and saw movement through the trees about 100 yards down a little two track. I told my son I see something white moving and heard what sounded like a kid. Sure enough now I see a girl running towards us yelling. Help Me, Help Me, I'm Lost. She was about 8-9 years old crying in full panic mode. She was wearing a pair of shorts, tank top undershirt and a hoodie wrapped around her waist. We told her she was safe and asked her how long she has been lost, two or three hours she said. I asked her if she was cold and she replied no. I had her sit down and asked he if she wanted a bottle of water. She said yes and started to calm down. I asked her if she knew how far from the main road, 87 she was and being a child really didn't know. She said her family had a white truck with a black camper. We were about a 10 minutes south of Clints Well and maybe a 1/4 mile in off the main road. Quick thinking on my son part he asks her if she knows her Mom's phones number. Well she did and my son called the number and after a few rings it went to voicemail. We gave her the phone and she left a message and my son and I added to it. Now we can hear a slow whoop whoop coming from what sounded like an ambulance or police car driving slow on 87. I told her to get into my sons truck and told him when you get to 87 call 911. They leave and a few minutes later her mother calls him. He says he isn't sure of the exact road he is on but will send her a pin. As he gets to 87 a Sheriff drives past and sees him then hangs a U Turn. He talks to my son looks at his ID and leaves with the child. Seems the girl had an argument with an older sister and ran off getting very lost. It was her lucky day and her mother got an early Mothers Day present. We broke camp and came back today as he needs to go to NM for work all week and spend some time with his mother tomorrow. His head is in the clouds after helping that little girl. We had a pack of yotes yipping and carrying on for almost two hours just after dark last night about 200 yards away. No place for a child for sure. https://reptilesofaz.org/lizards-subpages/h-p-multivirgatus/

In 2022 during my sons archery bull hunt I caught this guy in 6A, love catching critters.

Has a few very minor safe dings that I've tried to show. Rare find in this condition. $950 for local transaction. Paypal or cash. In Queen Creek/STV area.

Wow! Thank God for timing and putting you in the right place. Life lesson for that little girl. Good on you guys. Cool lizard...maybe I should have said that first 😀 I had similar luck with turkeys the first week...in 5a, off 141. Seemed like every tom I setup on had hens and would not come in. I didn't have much trouble finding gobblers. I'm considering going back up for another try, but not sure.

Well Casey as a father I can think you can relate to staying calm and focusing on the facts at hand and the art of dissuasion. We asked a few questions and let her vent and settle down. Sure she wanted to get back but probably realized she shouldn't have ran off so no need to bring that up, kinda one of the many elephants in the room so to speak. She was probably with us for at most 10 minutes before I had my son pack her up. He's a gentle giant and kids just naturally take to him. It did them both some good.

Free to a good home, just trying to thin out items I don't need. I have this coffee can of brass. The majority of this is Nosler brass and has been fired 2 times. Not going to ship for obvious reasons so it will need to be picked up in Payson. Text me if you want it Nynetoo8474eight23Fiv

I won one last night at the Bighorn banquet. I guess ill find out

For now. The same thing happened on the trail camera ban. It just took a little longer but in the end trail cameras were banned.

How about the one horned bighorn sheep hunts for Pioneers

Each end of season, the owners of Vulture City put on a banquet to thank their employees and volunteers for the towns growing success. The owners pick a deserving member to receive a gift of my choosing, made in the Vulture City Forge. There's only a few employees and maybe 40 volunteers. It's not difficult to figure out something they might like. I make my blades, axes and other items in pairs. There's always something to beat on and something in the fire. Should there be a major mistake made, I have a backup. 🫣 This years pick is a western reenactment entertainer whom sports what looks like a Pakistani made knife. His gift is a 15" Bowie knife made from an old sawblade (1040)? Elk horn scales found in GMU 9. I counter sunk the pins and filled the cavity with a pinch of 21kt Arizona placer gold for a different looking mosaic. At the last minute, the wife said I should do a grape vine.on the knifes spine. The smaller knife is a gift for my daughter on Mother's Day.

I keep talking myself out of buying this! My father had one I used to hunt quail with as a kid and I absolutely loved hunting with it. If you were located closer I’d have probably bought it by now.

Suppressors transfer from manufacturers to dealers on a form 3. Only dealers that have a SOT can transfer suppressors that are on a form 3. You have an option to do paper forms, old school or e-file . E-file has been really fast. Paper forms have been taking 9 months. Privately owned suppressors that are on a form 4 may be sold to a person in the same state on another form 4. If the person is out of state, it has to go to a form 3, at a SOT, then transferred to a dealer in the new state, on the form 3. The new dealer will transfer it on a form 4 to the new owner. Each time a nfa item transfers involving a form 4, it costs 200. So form 4 in state costs 200. One out of state is 400, plus any dealer fees. Privately owned form 4 to form 4, currently can only be done on paper form 4s. So plan on waiting 9 months.

If you need any help with the transfer, I can help.

It is yours, Jerry. I'll be in PHX after memorial day if you don't mind waiting that long.

Nice work Tim!

I switched from Toyos to Wildpeaks. They last twice as long and they are amazing on icy roads. I live in Kodiak most of the year so they get tested thoroughly. I run 10 ply on my F150s
