I have that same polaris sportsman 400 and I'm taking it to my grave. Been a very good machine for me.

I have cameras out right now in antelope country and I did not start to get any antelope fawns on film until middle of June. As a matter of fact, the elk & antelope started dropping at about the same time. First elk calf was June 3rd but on June 12th I started getting lots of calves and antelope fawns. I have always heard deer, elk & antelope fawns in northern climates are born earlier than more moderate climates because they need to get some age/strength on them before the harsh winters come further north. I have also heard mother nature has them all drop at about the same time so predators do not have such an impact on their ability to survive. I hope rut is earlier this year because I have a hunt.

I have had good luck with these solar bag showers. It's not like showering at home but they work well enough. https://www.wayfair.com/Coleman--Solar-Powered-Hanging-Outdoor-Shower-2000005824-2000005826-L6253-K~CLM2141.html?refid=GX99081561682-CLM2141&device=c&ptid=404061597003&network=g&targetid=pla-404061597003&channel=GooglePLA&ireid=8261496&fdid=1817&PiID[]=10297777&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9fixm4XO6gIVvh-tBh3Pmgf9EAQYAiABEgKKI_D_BwE

Very happy with my General. Putting a rear window reduces the dust but does not eliminate it.

I love it!

???!!!

That is terrible news. May God look over his family during this very difficult time.

I have two relatives that are nurses working in two different hospitals here in the valley and dealing with this crisis everyday. They are working their asses off right now. Everyone is correct, when NY was going through this back in March, April and into May the AZ hospitals were very slow and that is why they started doing elective surgeries again because they were losing money. Now the chickens have come home to roost and AZ is going through what NY did a couple months ago. My niece tells me the vast majority of deaths she has witnessed, the people had underlying health issues such as smokers (current & past), drug users, obesity, diabetes and old age. She said people who are or were ever a heavy smoker need to be very careful. I hate to say it but just about all of us are going to get it eventually and it sucks. The best thing we can try and do is lesson the blow. Just be smart and courteous when going out in public. It does not hurt anyone to take precautions to either prevent spreading it or contracting it.

Talk about a thankless job and so happy I don't have to live in his shoes. People hate him and want him out on both sides. Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Don't really want to hijack this thread but it brings up a good point. Do you think the guys who set their blinds or stands before the season starts are "reserving" it? I only ask because this had a real impact on where I hunted last year. Personally, I believe in all situations everything is first come first served whether you have a blind there or not. I do not think it is okay to use someone else's property unless they specifically gave you permission. I know if I set up a blind ahead of time and someone got there before me, I would leave. I might or might not take my blind with me but I would leave. If I want the spot bad enough, I would make a point to get there before someone else. OZ31 posted while I was typing. I agree 100% with his statement.

I'm pretty sure all you guys are only seeing large coyotes. You are not allowed to shoot wolves but you can shoot coyotes of all sizes and color schemes. I also recommend you take no pictures and keep all the memories quietly to yourself in your head.

24k and a Trump sticker on your rear window. That is a heck of a deal. What year is the truck and how many miles did it have on it?

From my experience, the AZ rut timing is very similar to Wyoming (never been to Montana). They are rutting hard at end of September into early October. I've heard of archers having mixed results with decoys. I tried using them a few times in August and did not have any luck. What unit did you draw? Good Luck

I had a great looking 96 f250 7.3 powerstroke that did the same to me. It would drive great around town but as soon as you drove it out of town and it sat overnight it would not start. It didn't matter what the temperature was, hot cold it did not matter. Had it in the shop a few times and they did all kinds of crap to it and never was able to remedy it. I think it had more to do with elevation change but who knows. Sold it to a guy in san diego who just wanted it for beach camping. The last two ford's I have owned have left a bitter taste in my mouth.

Anyone ever buy a vehicle using to costco auto buy program? What is the best way to buy a Dodge or a Ford?

I drew in the random draw. I think I had 6 or 7 points.

Look for me again, I will be back at end of February or beginning of March 2021 with more predictions.

Sorry but for 96.75% of us who do not have a hit by now are not getting drawn. Needless to say, my family has no charges pending on my account. You can call your financial institution and ask if you have any pending charges.

We need more Americans like him.

I have a 6a antelope tag this year.

I seem to be watching the north kaibab mangum fire more than the others. Would be nice to get some moisture whether it be rain or humidity in the near future.

Not saying that it doesn't happen but I have had cameras on two different tanks in unit 6a in the past. Elk routinely came and drank from both tanks everyday but as soon as the first cattle showed up the elk rarely came to the tanks. When the cattle leave, the elk slowly start to show back up. Everyone can believe what they want but I know what I know from my own experiences. If I have a choice of hunting an area without cattle, I will do it every time over an area with cattle. I also know of a great tank that gets hammered with coues but the cattle move in during middle of August and the deer sightings drop to nearly zero.

I hunted archery in 2011. I was there Oct 1-3 and weather was beautiful. Cool mornings and afternoon temps in 60's. This worked out great because I was hunting out of a blind during a general rifle hunt. The rut was going full bore and bucks were chasing does and other bucks around all day long. The action was non-stop from sun-up to sun-down. Never saw anything like it before in my life. The guy I hunted with was from Wyoming and said the last week of September was the best time to hunt antelope in for rut action and limited number of hunters in the field. Just building Wyoming points right now for deer, elk & antelope. Plan to retire in next 3-6 years and I want to have some hunts to go on.

Good luck with the sale but I've already got too much stuff that I don't use.
