It must be official since the sticky-back tag arrived in the mail today from AZGFD. Time to wear out some boot leather and tire rubber while scouting this summer to find the cows and green up areas that attract them. The 300 WSM rifle is in the shop being threaded for a suppressor. Ordered some new Lapua brass and 180 grain Swift Sciroccos to load up. Fresh diaphragms and cow calls have already arrived. This is going to be a fun DIY hunt.

Only way to kill anything is in 23a, with a $11,000 rifle that you're not allowed to see pictures of.

Got out for a couple hours Saturday and picked up some sheds. I’ve struck out the last couple years it was nice to finally pick up a few. Sorry about the pics didn’t seem to matter what I did they still came out sideways.

In all seriousness though deer hunting in Arizona is rapidly declining. Between the drought, and every single person on the mountain having tripod mounted binoculars and the ability to think they can shoot 600 yards, deer hunting is going downhill and Gaming fish is more concerned about the impact non-residents have while archery hunting. While the real concern is drought, predators, 19 million rifle tags with zero mandatory reporting. but they refuse to address that issue

A few rams I finished this week .

Well I paid $100 and I’m selling for $50. I end up paying $50 and another person gets a new set of headlights for $50. Seems fair to me. You are not misreading anything. I guess now I am getting questioned for sharing a bargain where we both reap a benefit. I have had many interactions with people on this forum and have always in my opinion been fair in my dealings, at least I believe. I’m not going to get into a debate over this. If you think I am doing something unreasonable then OK. Best Regards Phil

Ahead of the deer and sheep draw I think we as AZ residents owe the NR community a PSA about conditions here. That the state is pitiful. The brush is all burnt up. The tanks are all dry. The wolves have eaten all the sheep. The deer are lion poop. The border is a mess. And it’s infested with rattlesnakes. I figured with the way algorithms and social media work if enough of us post the same Info it might fill up some feeds and hep make sure nobody wastes their points in a lousy state.

Nice 77/22 mag with rings. No scope included. Located south Tempe area. $750

Watchout for Habitat Stamps, Just kidding. Have seen plenty of camping from trailers to tents and even back of the pickup and haven't heard any issues arise yet. DAN

Mr Buddy Heater has it built in. But I still make sure the tent is vented.

Don’t even mention the $5 Habitat stamp on the San Carlos!

Made about 1908, this Winchester 1892 has a parkerrized finish and a replacement buttstock. The bore isn't good but will probably shoot ok. Action cycles but I've never fired it. Not bad looking. Located south Tempe area. $500

Glock 20 gen 4 10mm Has recoil reduction spring kit installed (factory is in kit packaging), Lone Wolf barrel, factory barrel included. Lee die set. Have some ammo that goes with, including about 60-80 rounds of various Underwood ammo including hardcast . 3-15 round mags. Gun has low round count. $600 Safford/Thatcher

Breakfast this morning, Homemade breakfast hash with sausage, mushrooms, potatoes and onions topped with 3 eggs and cholula hot sauce!

dang. Watch this rave review of Il Forno Bello HERE. Best pizza of his life? To be clear, they serve the same Neapolitan-style pizza as Bianco, with many of the same pizzas.

In my opinion the overstocked shelves at the manufacturers will produce even more great price reductions. Many people are more worried about the price of gas and groceries. A much bigger priority. Wait a bit before you make a big purchase.

Don't even get me started on all the roundabouts...

The muffins…

Fox 10 had a good shot of the peaks from the east this am. It looks like they lost a decent amount of snow in just a week from when I drove thru. Guess that is what happens when it's 105+ in the valley in mid March

All this and still no pic's.

Saw this on TikTok (wade fishez) or whatever his name is. Bell pepper, onion, garlic, rotel, over rice with fish with sourt cream on top. Supposed to be catfish, but I used bagged sawai. Doesn't photograph well, but very tasty.

Lunch today, made french onion soup, soup on a hot day. Makes sense to me lol.

Casey has never ever been completely retarded.
