    Campaign Signs

    Just like every major city with high impoverishment and crime rates (Chicago, la, NY, Atlanta, Minneapolis, etc etc) all have voted left for decades and all are living in shat - they just don't get it... You can save some miles and look at this too https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/upshot/2020-election-map.html

    Campaign Signs

    Traditional Gov't hand outs and open check book vs fiscal planning, stand on your feet and top down economics (jobs are created by those that actually produce something)...? Is that what you are getting at?

    Savage Ultralite Elite?

    I can't speak directly to FPS loss but we own a couple of the ULs (6.5 prc 24" and 280ai 22") and bought a KLYM in 7prc 22" https://savagearms.com/firearms/model/110-klym last year that starting to really like. I have handled and shot the UL elite and handles very well and shoots as good as any of my ULs and if by far the the lightest thing I have shot. I jumped on the KLYM before I handled the UL Elite and might have done it differently had I waited but am liking that KLYM quite a bit. My opinion on the short barrel is essentially - If you go with the 7prc you are getting 7rem mag performance without having to carry 4-6" of extra barrel and weight. Pretty sure the animal won't know the difference and why carry the length and weight. Is it a few more clicks if shooting side by side - for sure but so what when you take 1/2 lb or more off that front end and don't have to unsling/unpack/walk like a U to go under mesquites.. That's the advantage of the new rounds/loads to me. Again, just an opinion there

    Awesome jr elk hunt

    Awesome getting them in close and getting them that kind of hunt and experience vs a long shot and calling it done. So much more excitement for the kids - and adults. Nice job and congratulations!

    Need a good boot repair recomendation.

    I had a pair redone too. I want to say $100ish with the sole but man I can’t recall. He did hand stitch up a double bull for me and way undercharged me for that. He’s a good dude.

    That’s Ed’s. He’s a good old fashion cobbler dude. Eastern European or something.

    Ed's shoe repair in Tempe has fixed a few things for me over the years and always has done great work. My son had a pair of Kenetreks redone by Kenetrek and not impressed either..

    Best RV dealer and salesperson in Phx area?

    I don't know if they sell RVs but Rowley White has treated our group well on 3 or 4 trailers now. 100% agree with Cannonball on Little Dealer... few times I have been there not a good experience and buddy bought a trailer there and had nothing but issues post sale.

    Troy at Authentic is a great guy and does great work - located in Paulden so easy drive out of the valley for you on the North side. Happy to share his work if you would like to see any.

    Election Year, Stock up now

    Most of the guys I run across carrying a xbow or airbow have zero reasons to need one - just lazy or want that advantage to get those horns... Can't pull 80 anymore so need a crossbow.. Pu$$y generation

    Election Year, Stock up now

    Nice try for a friendly reminder - should know better than to do something like that here! Better off with - I shot 3 animals I couldn't recover and then killed one but didn't look for it for a day or two and found it but coyotes got to it first- good hunt! That will get you thumbs up!

    Daily elk hunt update!! Sons 5bs bull

    I killed a bull on a rough Sept hunt a few years ago doing this same thing except he just stood up at 50 after the bugle... cold called about every 300-400 yards. Only way I know how to hunt them when you can't chase - I hate sitting water but obviously an even better way. Last year sucked after day 3 and killed a bull on water day 6 because was out of options if felt already. Stayed up for the rest of the hunt to help a buddy and it just kept getting worse and worse. Felt like the rut ended and they went deep.
