Save them for your new husband!

Use em for a castration band. You’ll just have to have them resized a little smaller.

Find me anything hunting related that isn't expensive. That's just the world we live in. Gotta pay to play. Can't even go sit down with a small family and have a nice dinner without spending a lot of money.

I’m gonna dump them next year. I’m thinking 44 2nd season (currently takes like 9 points so I think I’d be ahead of the game with 21) and take advantage of the new season dates essentially making it a 3rd season. Or 67 4th season and take advantage of the really late dates.

from payson, saw it on another forum

Big bulls can be had. Hopefully me and this bull meet up during the early archery hunt.

See, i knew someone here would know the "paul harvey" version. Thanks Azhunter

Took my daughter out this morning for her 2nd pig hunt. Glassed up a herd right off the bat, put the sneak on them and after pursuing them for a little ways this bore stood up out of his bed and she shot him at about 75 yards. I'm super proud of her, she's the cheerleader type of girl but a couple years ago I talked her into giving hunting a try, I think I got her hooked😀

I saw it. I was in our first stand of the morning out calling coyotes

spoke with Ammon and what a great help. thanks. Also I am buying a call from him. great connection thanks

I recently had the pleasure of picking Cody Nelson's (from goHunt) brain about optics, specifically 15x56 bino's. I had heard Cody on a Jay Scott podcast and appreciated his knowledge of glass, so when a friend recommended I call him, I was a little surprised. "What, I can just do that?" Welp, yes, you can. So I called the number from the goHunt contact page and after a bit, despite having a busy schedule, Cody was letting me ask him All . Of . The . Questions. Cody took the time to hash out my options and the pro's/con's about each. I feel very confident I'd decided on the best possible glass for my use case with Cody's help. After I'd made a decision, and it came time for the painful part (payment) there were some hiccups with how they did business. Cody got it sorted out right away. I work in a business where we make every attempt to make our clients happy, and his level of attention and care was impressive. He truly values his customers. I just figured I'd share and say, if you have questions about optics and appreciate good customer service, do what I did. Call Cody.

I'm still hear...waiting to hear if the roofing estimate he requested ever showed up...

WOW, he did a lot with his time on earth. It sounds like he positively impacted a lot of people. God bless!

Reading his history it sounds like he lived three or four lifetimes. Prayers to his family and friends.

I love mine. Fits in your pocket, lightweight, one hand easy to use, very accurate narrow beam width, and I have gotten readings on rocks and trees out past 1800yds.

I'll get them to them next year. I have taken three in there at 1.5 miles. Two of them solo. I've done countless solo hunts over the years and enjoy it.

What an ordeal today was. I left camp at 6:30 this morning with an Outdoorsmans Optics Pack fairly loaded down with 10X EL's on a Manfretto Carbon tripod in my hand. My destination was just over a mile into the Wilderness are to locate the two pigs I saw last weekend. I was about 400 yards in when I stepped on a baseball sized rock on my right foot and lost my footing. Next thing I knew I was laying flat out and my ankle hurt. I looked over and saw my foot bent at 90 degrees to my ankle and thought god don't tell me I just broke my ankle! I laid there for a minute to regain some composure and then sat up, grabbed my foot by the ankle and bent it straight. After a couple of more minutes of cussing myself I thought, I hope I have cell service. I did and texted my son. A few minutes goes by and I call him but it went to voicemail so I called his mother and told her what just happened. She was out making her rounds on the Salt River Res when they farm cotton and went and woke up my son. The left Mesa about 8:45 and headed my way. I used my tripod as a hiking stick and started back toward the road. About an hour and 100 yards later I found a large flat rock and sat down to rest. My ankle was really uncomfortable and felt like it had pressure on it. After 30 minutes I got up and lost my balance and came down on the ankle. I then figured that it might be best to wait there and took my pack off and drank a little water. I was concerned that if I ate anything and had to poop I might not be able to. They text me when they were leaving Wickenburg and then a while later when the left the pavement. When they got to my camp my ex stayed there and packed it op including a 10x14 Kodiak. When My son got to me it was about 11. He gave me some crutches they borrowed from a friend and he took my pack and out we went. It took 90 minutes to cover about 300 yards not having a clue on how to use crutches. The last 50 feet was downhill and my son went ahead to get his truck and move it closer. I was about 20 feet from the fence and one crutch slipped on the loose gravel and I crumbled like a house of cards landing on my side and sliding about six feet. It took me a few minutes to get up but at least I didn't do any more damage to my foot. I finally made it to Banner Desert about 4:30 and after about a 30 minute wait go in to see a doctor. They managed to get the Under Armour boot off but cut the Smart Wool sock. My ankle was pretty swollen and there was a black and blue streak in the arch but I could move my toes. They took a few xrays and then gave me an IV so naturally since they were doing an IV i thought I was getting admitted they also took some blood. They were going to give me morphine but I said no as the pain was bearable. They did give me saline and Toridol for the swelling. 90 minutes after the xray the doctor came over and said the foot was fractured on both sides and was either dislocated or broken on the top, I don't remember the actual term. He also said I would need to have surgery and gave me the name of an orthopedic surgeon to call o Monday. I finally got home at about 10. My son stopped and bought a LIttle Caesers Pie and helped me get settled in. The pizza was the first thing I had to eat since last night. Glad to be home and my niece is flying down in the morning to nurse me for a couple of days then my sister will come down for the rest of the week. Definately stinks but on the upside I didn't make it all the way back to where I wanted to go and get hurt because there isn't cell service there. Thanks to Big Browns, Del, Flatlander and One Ugly Dude for reaching out.

Just txted him .his son and and another person is on there way, , he thinks cruches will work. said he would update

I'm sure they are. But it isnt a matter of that. To make space for other stuff and get us some cash for other things and maybe set someone up with some killer cast iron that's cooked more hunting meals then most families, it's all a win. We just dont need 8 dutch ovens lol

Thanks again everyone. Good news is no surgery! They did a but scope and tummy scope and found inflamation. The obstruction we believe now was the actual inflamation. They took biopsy from each end and hopefully that will tell us why it happend to begin with. Initially he had the flew last week which snowballed the stomach thing. Anyhoo, thanks a bunch guys.

Anyone here competing in the matches that run tomorrow thru Sunday? I'll be shooting my Palma rifle in the long range matches starting Friday.

You are all probably right about Taylor. I really need to get on this though. Just so busy with work and side work.

They fight like girls

My 25 points was good enough to finally draw this year!!!!

Do you need help or a spotter for your practice. I can bring my old man's 26" Titus barreled 30-06 aperture sight match rifle that set a national 600 yard record in 51.
