  1. Completely redoing my garage so I am selling my shelves.  This is a great deal for somebody.  I have Two  48Wide X 72 High X 24 Deep shelves and  five 36 wide X 72 high X 18 Deep shelves.  I am selling all of them together for $300 cash.  For what it is worth,  Small shelves are $149 ea and big ones $179 each at Home depot.

  2. I know in the 70's you could actually go down to G&F main office on Greenway and watch the draw as they drew each application one at a time.  I never did but I worked for George & Danny Villa and they would sit and watch it for hours on end.  Good Luck to all that applied.

    So you don’t have to teach the last week of the season?

    When drawn, I will usually take opening day off, Saturday and Sunday.  Go back to work on Monday, head back up Friday after work and hunt Saturday, Sunday and I usually try to take Monday & Tuesday of last week.  Always had to make a deal with principal if I got one early to come back the next day.  In 26 years of teaching I took a week off one time for a hunt.  I ended up getting kidney stones and spent my first day in flagstaff hospital.  I never came home but I had some excruciating pain from time to time.  I finally passed the stones on a Thursday morning out in the field.  Not fun. Teacher friends Joked & told me that is what I get for taking an entire week off.  I wish I had a job where it was possible take an entire season off but I don't.  I know guys who can take entire hunts off and they don't.  That is even harder for me to understand.

    We get discretionary days we can use but it is really hard to be away from my classes and students.   I try to limit taking consecutive days off.  I'm not complaining as I knew what I got into when I started years ago.  Sorry for hijacking thread.

    If the elk have been dropping their calves the past two weeks, that would indicate that the breeding/peak of the rut was around October 1.  http://www.cervidsolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/ELK-Gestation-Table.pdf

    I had a 6a antelope tag two years ago so I set out some cameras along some travel corridors where I had seen antelope in the past.  I learned a lot.  First thing I noticed was the antelope in the unit are very nomadic.   You go weeks without getting the same buck on camera.  I also learned they traveled a lot at night from 11:00 pm to 3:30 am.  The other thing I learned was only one calf elk showed up on any camera before June 12th.  I think the image was from June 3rd?  Beginning on June 12th and there after, newborn calves everywhere.  This wasn't just on one camera in a one area.  I had camera's from cedar flats north to Flagstaff.  I don't know if this is normal but it seems like once a few started calving they all started calving.

  5. My wife has an apartment in Manhattan due to work.   We took the Amtrack from NYC to Boston last summer over the 4th of July weekend.  Really liked Boston.  Lots of history and the city is very clean.  The duck tours are great and went to a red sox game at Fenway which was pretty cool.  I can confirm that Red Sox fans like to drink.  NYC on the other hand is dirty, smells and the sidewalks are slippery from the trash they throw out every day on sidewalks.  Definitely some shady areas.  If you like to people watch NYC is a great place to go.  Lots of "unique" people for sure.  Ellis Island was my favorite place but AZ is home for me.  Enjoy your trip.
