Jazz

Out of ground meat too. was there last night to gas up the truck and grab some hot dogs. (My weakness) and the place was fairly busy. Most cleaning supplies sold out and I didn’t think the meat would take a hit.

So there we are. Jerky time. Come across this.. not sure what it might be . I treat every javelina like it has trichanosis and we freeze them 90 days before they hit the dehydrator. any ideas?

It was pretty deep in the muscle.

You guys might be right. ive never had a pig tested- just went off what I’ve heard from others. There was a podcast on Meateater that said freezing for 90 would ensure it would die. The dehydrating process would certainly ensure it. it can’t hurt to do it anyways.. But what’s in that pic? Some kind of worm or other thing?

Great vid! Good footage. Congrats!

We had been glassing the canyons all day. I think the herd magically appeared around 4:30pm at about 480 yards. There’s a lot of wind on the Mesa so we looped around to about 180. The 06 had her tumble down the slope. One of my favorite hunts. Wife was wingman.

Got hit for two tags!

Staring at my phone for a text..

Yup. ill take 1 in 4 over here. Good luck all!

I Hope all is well. Sending them up.

This is the first hunt I’ve used a spotter scope on. I got a phoneskope- and I’m glad I was able to make them work well. I found some javelina on an adjacent hill that I never could have seen with binos. also able to get a few shots of a bull elk on Goodwin Mesa on 18b. That was a pleasant surprise. Elk was about 500 away. The j13 managed to rattle it a little.

Seems I can't find these online?? Do they still make them?

I just got Toprut. My choices with a whopping 2 bonus points seem a little farther out. Just going to focus on late cow hunts.

I had two days to kill to try and get on the board for 2019. The mule deer hunt didn’t pan out (so many does- not a single buck to be seen) and with the wife and middle son already successful, I bundled up and did some solo treestand time near Payson. I had no idea it was going to be so windy.. Day 2, at 4:20 pm this guy walked in with his girlfriend. Shot was a tad high, he ended up going about 120 yards. Luckily not so much downhill from the shot. I backed out and waited at the top for two hours- tracked him in about an hour (thank God I found him before the storm really kicked in) I still had to carry him up to the truck- and uphill - and at 8pm the sky just opened up and started with hail. I realized I’m not 30 anymore.. Didn’t have time for pics in the field- got a group photo at the house.

I feel ya. This was my truck on Xmas

If he doesn’t I will 😀

Getting into spotting scopes myself. Thinking about a diamondback 20 60 80 and a decent tripod. Too many times I’m looking at something and can’t tell. the 15’s just don’t always get that granular.

Anyone know how well these work? I know there’s warmer, but I didn’t want to go to anything like incenerator..

Going tomorrow- snow in the area?

Great stuff. About 30 years ago I was north of the McDowell mountains , far and removed from anything. Way before Troon. i was walking a trail and dipped over a knoll. Turned into a small depression /valley. After a little while I came across a round, burned circle in the dirt. Perfect circle. Maybe 2 or 2 and a half yards in diameter. I do some looking and I find two more, exactly like the first. I realize they’re in a perfect triangle, about 20 yards apart from each other. No road or real trail nearby. Went back 3 or 4 years later, realized I was in the area and revisited. They were there. Nothing had grown within these circles and they looked pretty much like I had last seen them. Havent been back since. No idea what I came across.

He’s on a roll this year. Ethan nailed his first javelina 3 hours into his hunt. Huge surprise, the albino javelina was with the herd and didn’t see him until they all took off after the shot. Something to look for in Feb when we go back. Always loved the unit, and never seen as much elk sign as I have this trip. All over the place!!

2.5" X 10" Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) filter.

So I have what I think is a 5 stage RO under the sink system. But there’s a huge filter next to it. Much bigger than the others.I’ve replaced all but this one..Looks like this: not sure which one it is. And are there any local stores that carry it?

They knew exactly what it was.ordered one and it’s on the way. Thanks all!

I’ll do it. Thanks Hoss!
