I’d feel a lot better if Powell and mead filled up

I’ll get with you if azarchery doesn’t take it

Still have it

Depends on how fast you can ride

Beaver creek is a great overnighter hike spot dead horse state park is another with good fishing much overlooked vulture peak in wickenburg

looks like it would be a sweet camp kitchen set up

they are heat treated and then finish machined < I wouldn't call them hard. are you anywhere near the airport in PHX? I could make some time next weekend. shoot me a PM

wow, lets see a group out of that beauty??

This has never been an issue for me until this season, one of the kids elk had a less than ideal shot on it and for the first time I had to deal with fragments. We have been lucky enough to either kill with arrows or have perfect shots away from the quarters. I have been looking at GMX bullets for next season for sure. It's a real bummer digging through wound channels to be sure no lead or jacket fragments exist. I do all my own processing and have from day one so this is very important to me and my family. Thanks for all the info you guys have had on this new tech so far. What do we see as the best bullets so far??

Healy Arms can set you up go talk to Mark

This post is just depressing, hope all you guys draw

Ya same here, I buy used or bare and build myself. The other deal is I hooked my buddy up at local shop with 500.00 in new rest and site and got hit with a 50.00 labor charge so my brain says no more of that,,, built my own press , draw board, paper, etc and now just do everything myself. DIY strings as well. Just hate paying for something I can do. Made me a better shot as well as I spent 400.00 or so to save maybe 100.00. Haha

looks good, where is that stand for your press from???

Join in and let Game and Fish know we need one more upgrade to our tag system, Would be great to have a CART for all purchases rather than each item being another 10 minutes of typing info in, I put the family in for elk and it took 7 separate transactions!!!!! Every other purchase system on the planet has a cart and you pay and enter info one time. I put in 3 apps and 4 licenses and all needed the old card info, super lame.

good tent, I had a stove jack sewn into mine and use a cylinder pack stove when we run the mules in, works really well

PRETTY ODD,,, Just reminded me I was out scouting for Javelina this year and found a side window out of an airplane!!!! small plane of some sort, it only broke into 3 pieces and still had the emergency push here stickers on it..it was in the middle of nowhere.

good stuff

we have a tracker pro 18 ft aluminum, its been so good my buddy just bought one. 75 horse motor runs about 45 mph with full load. when I was hitting it hard I had a 21 ft Nitro with 225 motor and all the trimming plus a bunch of custom DIY stuff, I do miss that boat but I paid 19,000 for that boat in 1999 and it would take 40,000 plus to buy that now so I will most likely never go back down that road. The only thing I don't like is the trailer, its too light and the boat dances a lot on rough roads. I plan on beefing up the trailer at some point or maybe even adding an axle. Good luck with the search, really the main deal is the motor, most trimmings can be fixed up fairly easily.

I just remembered a sketchy thing I went through, me and my buddy at about 12 years of age rode our 2 stroke 80's out by happy valley and 7th st carrying gas and food for the day. We rode all day and when ready to leave I said I want one more lap on our little makeshift track but my buddy took off, well I crashed hard and smashed some ribs and was pinned under my bike. All alone it took me an hour to get to my feet then I had to lift that bike and get it started, well it got dark and I had no light at all. I proceded to get lost and run out of gas and had to push the bike a mile or so until I found my gascan stash. another hour to start the dam bike and I rode the main roads back to my dads shop. a day in the hospital and many days in bed and I was fine but I remember the feeling laying there under my bike with that pain.

Me and the kids got lost after hanging 2 elk in a tree this year, we were only 2 miles from camp or so and I was sure on the direction back. Well my phone had died from the cold while breaking the animals down so no onx which I had all ready to go. It was super dark with no moon which didn't help. several hours later we had made a large left arch right past camp and into a dead end canyon. After getting as high as we could we could see a vehicle driving and knew where we were. Funny thing is we came upon our own tracks from the previous day and remembered the route we were on then and walked right back to camp in yesterdays tracks. It wasn't far to go in any direction to hit a road but the kids were getting nervous and cold for sure. Cell service was spotty so couldn't get ahold of the wife although I did get a text out earlier that we had 2 elk down and would be late getting back. I think she was more worried than we were. We rolled in about 9:30pm after heading out that morning. Also I had figured since it was close to camp I would just pack all the tenders, backstraps and odds and ends which ended up being about 58 lbs. That up and down finding our way through deadfall and the extra miles hurt a little. We did have all that was needed to survive as well so not a big deal but we did get turned around for sure. I will say that we saw more glowing eyes that night than maybe I have ever seen. Had a ringtail and fox 10 feet from me on the trail and I was sure it was a lion or 2. Man those eyes look big in a headlamp.
