Jazz

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

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!

“This side up” is all it yields. Pretty generic!

This is what it looks like inside..

I seem to remember one year we went on the 237 north of Payson and had some good luck.if the map is the same we’ll try there this year. Of course, if there is good snow they’ll move off the mountain for lower grounds..

Bump for a solid truck. 7.3 with that mileage is awesome.

Omg what a great story! I know this is late but dude- congrats!!

It was awesome. Thanks for that.

dang tragedy. Just saw on fox twitter that two gofundme’s have been setup for the family’s. https://www.gofundme.com/f/1tsy43c5ao https://www.gofundme.com/f/austin-rawlings-memorial-fund

You’ll see 0 on the hunt. Hope that sleeping bag is a Wiggys! 👍

Like the title says. Let me know.

Not sure how this is going to turn out.. Wife wants a euro with velvet- is that possible? Heads been in the freezer since day 1. I’m reading that if the fluid isn’t applied in a day or two there’s no chance. Can a taxi do something?

Follow up.. Brett did a fantastic job.

Fantastic!

So I’m definitely finding mule deer. No coues yet. and lost an AirPod case and a rangefinder. Good thing I’m decent at distance guessing, but only seen 18 doe so far. starting to think there’s a shortage of bucks in 21..
