  1. I'm hoping someone makes this into a movie. It's not really an AZ movie, but a 4 corners movie. It's about the guys that attempted to rob the Ute Casino and got into a shootout.

    That would make a great movie. I was living in the region when a cowhand found the last fugitive. What this link doesn't mention is how the old Cowboy had to sue the govt for the reward money.

  2. Thanks guys.

     

    I urge everyone to try and help out on these hunts. By nature these hunts are done with little notice due to the fact tags are often donated at the last moment.

     

    If you love to hunt, cook or just gather firewood, your help is welcomed by some vets who really earned it.

  3.  

    Surprised to not see more John Wayne/John Ford films mentioned like 'She wore a Yellow Ribbon', filmed in Monument Valley.

    How to forget Rambo III? Specially when my saddle club at Luke AFB was hired on as extras portraying Mujahideen.

     

     

    Weren't you in one of the first talking movie filmed in Arizona, too, Tim? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

     

     

    Sorry, friend. I'll go to time out now!

    I only look old.

    Back in the day, movies weren't starring Hollyweird lefties and commies.

  4. Got the opportunity to participate in another H4H hunt Fri-Sun.

     

    At first glance, the vets appeared a little more beat up than did the Nov. elk hunters but man, the three guys pig hunting were truly impressive in spirit and strength and once again I felt grateful our country still produces such warriors. TBI's, gunshots, amputations, lung disease, smashed vertebraes... crushing injuries but not a single broken will to succeed.

     

    20B was a zoo but fortunately, we had a volunteer that had patterned a large herd, and the hunters had chances daily to tag out.

     

    Joe was first to dump a javi at 275 yards. Thought he missed with the first shot since the pig just walked in a 180' circle, so Joe let loose with another 22-250 and the pig tumbled down the hill. Joe was anxious to gut and skin a kill for the first time, only asking for a couple pointers.

    The next morning was Jason's turn. After locating a sizeable herd, he dropped a nice boar at about 200 yards.

     

     

     

    A lot of smiles and stories around the campfire and life long friends and memories made.

     

    I want to thank my friend Derrick Bivins for all his help with camp. And thank you to Alli Lubash for his unselfish help on this hunt. Alli had a javi tag also but wasn't going to shoot unless the vets tagged out first. So he went back out today to fill his tag but found a bobcat instead. That'll work!post-11051-0-24302500-1488249931.jpeg

  5. Plant alfalfa. There's alfalfa designed for your elevation and non irrigated. It's a 20 year plant and puts nitrogen into the soil while its roots bust it up.

     

    No tilling, no rows, no drilling. You can broadcast it by hand or with a grass seeder.

     

    Drag the land with a tine using your truck, broadcast it and then drag again with a non tine drag. Can plant grasses with it including rye if you want a winter forage.

     

    I grew the dryland alfalfa with a Eurasian grass at 7000' and the deer and elk came back for it year after year.

     

    Corn is tough to grow in the desert. Several years ago I planted an acre of sweet corn, fenced it and tried to shoot every critter that tresspassed.

    Tough to do when 10000 starlings descended on it and wiped it out.

     

    If I were to try again I would try and plant some maze.

  6. I'll take about a gross of those 1911s at $39.95.

     

    Friend of mine has the foreign legion rifle. If I recall it was built by Remington and takes an 8mm rimfire.

     

    Golden State Arms back when the Golden state hadn't lost its collective mind.

     

    This flyer reminds me of all the military arms you could pick up at the pawnshops when I was a kid. My dad should have got me that M1918 BAR back before there was any paper work involved.

  7. My brother inherited a winchester 1886 45-90 a few years ago from our grandfather. I believe my great grandfather bought it new and handed it down to our grandfather who is 90 years old now. Pretty spectacular rifle and in great shape

    Why can't we get pics of these treasures? Hearing about them without seeing them is about as frustrating as an evening at the titty bar.
