NOTAGS

Yep. 2001. And I have a gun tag this year. Big arse country, goats are spread out. Fredonia or Colorado City are the closest towns, and Fredonia is gonna have a lot more to offer which isn’t saying much. Kanab for anything major . It was dry AF in 2001, I had dust in my truck till the day I sold it. Trees are rare , so bring your own shade. It will be hot…. 2001 cell service didn t exist, not sure now 25 years later. Make sure your rig is in top shape, cause I went three days without seeing anyone else… not much traffic up there. Break down, it may be a while. Maybe a rancher coming thru. not trying to discourage you, just make sure you’re prepared…. Heck, for all I know in 25 years there’s housing on the north side. I’ll find out myself this summer.

this has wandered a looonnng way away from the original topic..... Is the draw over?LOL

Geesh, that makes my LDL rise just thinking about it… was one down the road in high school. Never a fan…colon cleanser for sure.

Anybody been lately? I'm thinking this week's warm up ought to start the crappie up... Isn't it usually about the end of February that it turns on ?

It was, with perhaps a dash of sarcasm...

Sorry, Im not a serious guy… check regs or proposals.. it’s all there. Annual renewal, no weed MD to sign off, real orthopedists I believe..there will still be abuse . I need a shoulder replacement at this point,but sold my xbow, and resigned my self to gun hunts. Xbows weren’t my thing after almost 50 years of recurves and compounds. JMO

With my luck in freshwater, it would just reiterate that I suck by knowing the fish are there but I can’t catch them. salt water… seems like all fish eat and bite just gotta find them…. Looked at pricing, not gonna happen. A unit would double the value of my ghetto bass boat…plus I’m at the point I don’t want any more learning curves….Ill wait for my grandsons to start fishing with me.or my SIL, Inspector Gadget , to buy one and run it for me!

I don’t have a live scope… guess I’m screwed. I’ll go boating. so if trail cameras are illegal for hunting, why are live scopes ok for fishing? Asking for a friend…

You actually have to be disabled… physically?

As Evan said about out of town dealers, sometimes you can eliminate the city sales tax which can be 2-3%. A couple hundred ona 10k machine. I bought my Ranger in Rye…

I haven’t had a Honda in years, but a friend said Nash saved him a couple K. If you can, pay cash or get your loan at your credit union in ADVANCE! Lower rates typically. Eliminates the BS of “ how much do you want to pay a month” that ALL dealerships play.. allows you to shop the OTD price hard. Don’t be afraid to walk away, they’ll cave…. You have a lot of time till your hunt. 2025s should start discounting pretty good too…

for the front yard, with little foot traffic, I agree. I missed the front yard part. Kinda pokey on the bare feet , so for my back yard where I run around with my dogs, the 1/4 " has been been more comfortable.

if you order 1/4 screened, it will all be 1/4+ material. The minus is what turns to dirt and can make up a large part per ton. The screened costs more upfront, but you won't be like me needing to redo it. My neighbor put down 1/4 screened, and its a solid, dust free surface.

without it you're poaching?

Not for me. I seem to remember my dad telling of him and his buddies catching one, and that it was filleted at sea and never seen shore side. Heck, I’m not sure I’ve personally landed a white yet, maybe one? … everyone else in my boat seems to have tho. I’m usually dropping 1-2 lb bass for grouper while the other guys are dealing with the greenbacks and sea lions. I hooked a bull once, clotheslinedthe boat, broke off both antennae’s.. about cut one guys legs off before I could cut the line….that was enough.

But, “ silver shines just as bright”….. lol, nope.

I hope you do that will be an epic battle off the shore… in 50 plus years of fishing down there, we’ve never caught one, but heard of the mythological creatures. if Sea Shepard are down there, anyone know where I can get one of those water cannons like the Japanese had in that series?…lol that would be more fun than fishing

I’m assuming if you commented on Sea Shepard regarding totoabas( are they still a round after the whale wars and now in RP?)that they’re no bueno for keeping..? First white we landed on my boat, I was digging out the regs from an old Cholla Bay Derby pamphlet to make sure of what we had. Mexican fisheries guy can show up at weird and random times.., there’s a minimum size limit on rock bass, if you can believe that? Half of my bait fish are illegos……

How’s the base? 1/4 minus can settle out and let the base up.. aka moon dust in the nw valley. My next load will be 1/4 screened, the minus turned to dirt…. No bueno

Trigger tacos are muy bueno! Tough weekend with the new moon, glad you caught, and hope you had fun

lifetime... bought it almost 30 years ago, makes it a nonissue, I'm technically hunting for free nowadays except for tags. And gas. And food. And gear. Oh heck, who am I kidding? Still paying for playing...

I think a lot of the delayed hits historically have been the banks. Some post pending immediately like mine. Some like the one Cabela's used to use took up to three days, even when the draw went in one run. For the guys with the delayed posts, you get the full run of emotions. Kind of like I did this morning thinking it was done by 8:00 a.m. Heck, I was wondering how many squirrels it was gonna take to put a dent in my freezer space...

people returned to work and turned their phones off in a state of depression ...

naaah, and lose whatever good juju comes with it?
