First Wal-Mart drove the ma and pa stores out of business by peddling Chinese made crap. Now they think not selling ammo to law abiding Americans is the moral thing to do. Screw them.

1000 short Russians can be yours for $275. I'll throw in a steel and a nylon Tapco mag to go with. I travel most of the Valley.

Blood on your pack? You fall down, cut? Hope you're ok, buddy. Lol

Problem is, we think we have time. Buddha

The left would like you to think these two are just typical Trump supporters.

Last time Trphyhntr got nibbled by a fox there was probably throat play and shots required ....

Took a ride this morning out north of the homestead. While studying the geology of the area that was once the Pikes Peak mining district. Found some interesting minerals including an exposed hematite layer, not to mention hundreds of quail, wow. This guy was snoozing on a wash ledge about 9' up and couldn't be disturbed.

Im picking up a hog tomorrow Bob butchered for me. I can ask him what he sells a half steer for. I will have some Angus steers for sale this winter.

Don't buy salt blocks, they are expensive, difficult to lug around and reveal where your camera is to thieves. Buy water softener salt. Just mix it into the earth with the dirt and some water. The animals will smell it, the thieves wont see it. Don't take my word for it, ask the infamous MulePackSaltHunter.

A dozen drunks with shotguns comparing wieners...not my idea of a good time. Besides, I've already met all you corn baggers.

Yeah that's when everything blew up in her face. A member bought her hubby's welder off her and wanted a refund.

Did you lose it since booking her big game hunts and guided kayak fishing tour last year?

Well, we're narrowing the date down...lol

One more would seal the deal. Would have to be between 19Aug - 22Aug, Mon - Thursday. Evenings are fine too.

Gilbert.....always in Gilbert, oy vey.

What applied in Texas 1835... Really hasn't changed.

There are theories out there it worked great for the CIA in Nov. 1963.

Those of you in the valley whom have taken your best friend(s) through a course, whom do you recommend or don't recommend? Partners Training is probably out, I'm not available on the 2 days if the week they offer the class.

Thanks!

Two bears have been removed from Peoria in recent memory. Problem is, a couple weeks ago you thought a bobcat was a decent looking lion.

Five large asteroids skimmed Earth yesterday. The closest, asteroid 2019-OK, just discovered in the last 36 hours is 250 feet wide and missed us by just 45,000 miles, 0.2 the distance to the Moon. This early evening Arizona time it will have reached magnitude 9.4, which I can spot with my high powered binoculars. A thee inch telescope would work also to see it. Unfortunately, it is poorly timed and placed to observe before it fades. Please note that it is moving very quickly and seven hours later the magnitude has dropped to an impossible +46 as most of the dark side faces Earth, about as bright as a pen light sitting on the Moon. Not even Hubble would have a good shot at that. An impact of an object that size would have made a crater about 1.25 miles across and wiped out most life in an area the size of Connecticut. At that distance 1/144 objects will impact the Earth. For objects that come closer than the Moon the impact ratio is 1/3600. Asteroid 2019-OD, discovered a few weeks ago, came 0.9 lunar distance from Earth today. It is almost identical in size at 237 feet wide. It was best visible last evening in the southern hemisphere at magnitude 12.79, 6 inch telescope range. Asteroid 2015-HM10, discovered 4 years ago also is nearly the same size at 225 feet wide, but safely missed us by 12.2 lunar distance, about 2.9 million miles. Asteroid 2019-OE, at 2.5 lunar distance about 600,000 miles away, is 100 feet across. An impact from this one would be much larger than Chelyabinsk, but smaller than Meteor Crater. Both of these asteroids would have been too dim to be seen at magnitude +17.5. Heads up. You can learn about and see some of the larger Near Earth Asteroids NEO's which pass closer than 20 LD at http://www.spaceweather.com/ Click the Ephemeris tab, enter your home observing coordinates, date, and duration to generate where they may be seen in the sky. Tomorrow, the even bigger Asteroid 2010-PK9 at 500+ feet will miss us by 8.2 LD. Asteroid 2010-PK9 is a rare Aten class asteroid whose orbit brings it much closer to the Sun. In this case half as close as Mercury in a 205 day highly elliptical orbit. About two dozen more NEO's are listed in the next couple of months with more discovered and updated daily. You realize that only about 10%~ of these relatively small and very close NEO's are even observed as they pass by
