    Picked up a surrendered tagπŸ‘

    I believe you lose your points.That would make sense, just wasnt sure. Oh yeah to the original question...my buddy had 7E early archery last year and said it was the hardest elk hunt hes ever had. Trouble finding elk, much less bulls. Yes you do loose points. I'm preparing myself mentally and physically for a arduous hunt. However it goes I'm gonna have a good time.

    New shocks

    Well, it's that time for me to change my front shocks on my 06 Silverado. I have a 2" level kit on it. Just wondering what you guys have used and like with a leveling kit. I'm leaning towards some Bilstein or ranchos. Hopefully can keep it under $100 for each one.

    Mid Life/wife crisis Question

    What ever you decide to do, I would definitely still keep the pop up. There may be a trip where you don't need all the amenities of a big trailer. Plus you don't have to worry so much about road conditions or camping spots big enough to accommodate a large trailer.

    Mid Life/wife crisis Question

    I would say its more the upfront costs and the fixes that kill you then the maintenance. Yes oil changes are more expensive but thats not huge. I buy a new F150 eco boost max tow every two years. I put 99500 miles on them and then trade. The last one I got was $35200 off the lot. A comparable diesel woulda been just shy of $50,000. Thats almost $15,000 difference. If I trade every two years thats $7500 a year. I got ostracized on here for saying I spend $2000 a year on out of state tag applications as being a rich guy, I would say that anyone who owns a diesel spends far far more then that just to listen to it hum. Dont get me wrong there are people out there who truly need them, but I would say 99% if diesel owners dont. I pull probably 10,000 miles a year with mine. I farm part time so its anythkng from combine headers to seed wagons (15,000#) to my camper, but in my opinion I still dont pull enough to justify an extra $7500/yr in cost. If you break something on a diesel its gonna be $5-10k for literally anything in them. I see these guys talking about this motor or that and the say 6.4L is great you just have to do this delete and that bulletproofing. If Im gonna spend $50k for a pickup I better not have to take it to some aftermarket dude with a flat brim hat to spend another $10k to make it work. Thats my 2 cents on diesel!!! As my uncle (a lifetime mechanic) used to say. The three Ts of diesel: Trucks Tractors and Trains! (Dont get me started on pickup vs truck, we are referring to pickups here. Trucks have more then two axles. you need 5 gasser oil changes by the time you need 1 diesel oil change. diesels especially 4x4 hold their value better than any gas truck. f150 has the worst resale value. I change the oil every 5K on my diesel, 15qts. That is the factory recommendation, sure you can go longer but to do so you should add a bypass filter and do a UOA to see whats happening to the viscoscity, copper buildup etc. a 2014 cummins factory recommendation is 15k miles. Dang that's a loooong time. Even if that's what the factory says, I would never wait that long to change my oil in any vehicle.

    How bout them Devils!

    Hopefully they fire Miller. He's useless when it comes to the tournament. U of A needs a coach that is better at bringing talent together and playing at a high level consistently.

    Left Over Elk Tag List B.S.!!!

    I know this is talking about the elk draw, but this same thing happened to my buddy during the deer draw last year. He didn't get drawn but the 1st hunt he put in for ended up on the leftovers list. He called and all the lady said is something like "oh well, I didn't get drawn either and not everyone gets drawn BS". Never really answered his question πŸ€”.

    COWARD

    Like azlance said not all LEOs have gone through the new active shooter training. I'm curious if this deputy Peterson had. The training I went through does a pretty good job at training you too seek out the threat and engage it or distract it from killing more. But there's also a huge difference between the simunition training rounds and real rounds being fired at you. With that said all LEOs take an oath to protect and serve. I just hope that other LEOs in his situation will be able do what it takes to take out the threat asap.

    sledding

    Definitely should be enough snow in the Flagstaff area for sledding now. I'm headed up to snow bowl in a few days myself. Does anyone know of a good spot to take the kids sledding around Flagstaff?

    How bout them Devils!

    I wondered how long it would take for excuses to flow. Yea I was about to say the same. ASU foul trouble early in 2nd half was a big factor. But that's the difference between a great team that's used to playing at this level and just a ok team.

    Don’t build a treehouse!

    Yup same here, I grew up making and playing in tree houses/forts. I loved it and wouldn't have changed the cuts and scrapes that came along with it. I did jump off a tree house and onto a nail sticking up from the ground and put a nasty hole in the bottom of my foot. But Luckily nothing that bad ever happened.

    Windshield Repair

    I have the zero deductable windshield replacement through my insurance, which does mean no out of pocket cost for me. I have used Brake Maxx to replace 4 or 5 windshields over the last few years. They used to give $50 gift cards for service at their garage but recently have been giving $100 visa same as cash cards! Always showed up on time and so far i have no complaints on the quality of work.

    How bout them Devils!

    Yup, according to ScumDevil unless you have a direct or indirect relationship with UA we are all wannabes. But I would also be getting fustrated and talking non sense if the cats were losing like the devil's are.

    So you don't like all these UA fans in the Tucson area huh. Well mister ScumDevil get used to it and stop b****ing, cause not gonna change.

    Still a dumbass thing to say, but I'm not surprised.

    How bout them Devils!

    Most ridiculouse thing I've seen in a long time. Calling a UA fan a "wannabe" just because they didn't go there? Plenty of other reasons to like a team besides what you listed. Give me a break. Sounds like someone is getting a little bitter because of some recent losses.

    Mule Deer Rut

    Area around 3 points still has a few smaller bucks together. One decent 3x3 was scraping but also had 2 other bucks with him and does. One big wide wounded buck(couldn't tell if it was from a shot or fight) was solo. Made a failed stalk on a nice broken buck, his right side was a nice 4 and left side was broken down to a 2.
