    Portable evap coolers

    Always tell an old timer by 110/220. haha j/k Depends on the size of the unit, some run on 120v, some run on 240 or 208. You can usually order them based on your needs and what kind of electrical service you have at your residence or establishment.

    Backpacks

    If you have the funds, get a Kifaru. Going to the higher end packs has made a huge difference in comfort. I used to own eberlestock and badlands and thought they were good enough. When I decided to see what all the hype was with the higher end packs, it was apparent that they do live up to the hype. The custom fitment and bag options is where it is at. Kifaru is a top notch company with probably the best customer service in the industry. They are American made with quality components. I would highly recommend getting a kifaru, Exo or Stone Glacier and not looking back. Expensive investment, but it is just that, an investment in comfort.

    Insert/outsert glue

    I've used goat stuff with great results on the victory outserts. Never had one pull out. I usually clean with alcohol, then try and rough up the inside of the arrow shaft, clean again and glue

    Archery lessons?

    Your best bet around here anymore is to just go to the closest archery shop to you and ask there. There are to many professional hunters on here to give you any beginner advice on archery. They have been shooting so long and so much that they forgot what is was like to learn. There are still a few good guys on here but they do not post as much as the pro's. Take up Ed's offer in prescott if you are near him. He has some good hunts under his belt with a bow and I am sure he could get you going. Arizona Archery club is a great place with some good instructors in the North Valley. Ross archery in central phoenix has some knowledgeable guys working there who could surely help as well. Good luck on your elk hunt.

    Lake Mary/Ashurst what’s are they biting on?

    Same as Power Eggs. 4-6# test, #8 hook with a single split shot about 18" from the hook. Tie small treble hook directly to the line. I prefer 6 to 8# line. I cut off the barbs so it's easier to retrieve since half the time they swallow it. Add split shot 18-24 inches up if fishing from the shore and drop on the bottom. Rig it 24-36 inches if trolling. Don't overload the hook with bait; trout have tiny mouths. Thanks guys, did not mean to hijack his thread, but I seem to have bad luck with power bait. I rig it the same way but maybe too deep. I usually put the split shots 12-6" away from the hook. I will try the 18-24" next time.

    how do you guys rig the power bait? I have terrible luck with it every time. Caught a couple today at Goldwater on worms.

    “Big” flat screen TVs

    As cheap as they are now, you are probably going to just end up throwing it away and getting a new one. A 55" LED can be had for $600 or less during sales

    Recommend me some books/novels please

    The Operator is a good read. It is the story by Robert Oneal about his Navy seal experience. He is the one who shot Osama Bin laden. Some guys hate him for spilling the details but I actually enjoyed the book.

    Hunting w/Non-Lead

    Do you think without the lead, your siblings would still have those degrees?

    1/2 a beef

    In for a 1/4 or less of a half? He!!, steaks are on sale at pretty much any grocery store right now for the 4th. Those steaks on sale have nothing on this type of meat. The "on sale" steaks at Fry's and Basha's barely qualify as meat. Very little taste to them.

    Lightweight Riflescope

    I have never had a problem with my leupold dialing either... I am sure some have issues, but they are a fine scope for the money. I trust them over Vortex. If you are not willing to spend over a grand, they are a good alternative. The deer I have killed with them, never told me that my scope dialed incorrectly..... Grin...

    Lake powell chronicle is about 6 months late on that story... Last I heard, he is still out and about hunting

    Food for Thought

    I have taken far more animals with my bow than I have with a rifle, but I still enjoy a gun hunt. Shooting long range does take away a pretty big part of the "hunting" aspect, but it does require a different skill. Being able to dope the wind, calculate the drop, wait for the perfect broadside shot are skills that many do not have and they take a while to get them. Sure I approach archery hunting different than I do when I long range hunt, where do you draw the line in the sand on what is ethical. I have killed multiple animals over water out of a blind. An animal has to drink, so was that unethical? In some people's eyes it is. I have knocked down a couple of coues at 500+ yards with a rifle, some think that is unethical. Stick to your ethics and quit worrying about everyone else's. We all draw the line at different places in the "ethics" book. Just do you and life will be much less stressful bud.

    Flatlander for the new committee.

    The bickering about this issue is ridiculous. Just accept the fact that people have different opinions on issues that we face. Trying to convince the other side by insulting them or arguing with them will not accomplish anything. If the issue is important to you, get out form behind the computer and try and do something about it. Arguing online is certainly not going to help in any way. My best advice is to go in front of the commissioners and start crying.

    He had the most to lose IMO in this whole ban. His operation on the north rim is very heavily based on trailcams.

    uuggghh
  23. So contradicting... Some guys go up and say it does not help in harvesting, then the next guy goes up and says it will make killing buffalo on the rim more difficult.
