    What feature would you like on your GPS.

    Woody on many of the Garmin Units you can upload images ... So you could always import some Horn Porn to look at while you pass the time, but it may get depressing if you are not finding any real racks that measure up !

    What feature would you like on your GPS.

    Our group uses Rinos so we can send texts from unit to unit. We can also poll a location(basically a ping) so as Forlorn suggested, it does not seem like having a ping feature would be too difficult and be very beneficial. Bigger screens are always a given!

    Bad day with a .500 S&W

    Went back and watched and this time read the comments ... It was indeed a hot load and not a double tap .. The guy fired 3 shots and Dan ( I assume the gun owner and camera man) commented after freeing the frozen cylinder that 2 unfired rounds remained along with 3 fired accounting for the 5 rounds it held .. No Double Tap

    Bad day with a .500 S&W

    I agree with diablo .... watched many times and only seeing a single discharge. I think it was a Hot load and weak grip. I Have seen a couple double bump videos and you can see both of the discharges.

    What do you think about this?

    I agree with disturbing .... probably because it looks like you looking down on a piled up dead deer with their leg twisted unnaturally ...If it were me I would have made a more slender back profile with more natural rump and tail laying across with the outer portions ( where the leg is and on both sides) made up of Rock and cat claw or tall grass . Then it would be like you are looking down on a deer bedded IMO

    What to use for Black river crossing?

    Panther Martins, Rooster Tails, Small floating Pin's minnow ( or similar lure ) , small Rebel Craw All on 6lb or less line with a light or ultra light spinning rod .. This assortment will catch about everything in the water, from Big Browns and Small Mouth to those little native chubs. If you are going to fly fish , or floating a fly with a spinning outfit as others have said hard to beat hellgrammite patterns, though I still catch plenty using Warden's Worry with a red tail.

    Tent bag too small

    From the size you list .. I do not think you would have a problem using a 30x50 military duffle like this . https://www.amazon.com/Black-Giant-Zipper-Canvas-Duffle/dp/B002TSQDPC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466461993&sr=8-1&keywords=canvas+tent+bag

    need a few pointers for stripers at pleasant

    I'll have to check the rgs on that I know u can't take live bait to the lakes I better check on frozen bait jik All good did some reading ... None can be transported unless bought at authorized Bait dealer .. So easy to say Live baitfish (other than what you can by at the store) must be caught in same lake. Tilapia can only be used in Yuma County Sun Fish and Carp can be used on the Salt River and lakes as well as the Verde So lake Pleasant is all good for Live Bait As far as frozen ... regs say that the flesh of any game fish can not be used as bait except for Sunfish ... So I would read that as Blue Gills all good to freeze up , but carp and tilapia would be illegal... personally I find it much easier to use artificial ... look for the surfacing fish and run a zara spook or buzz bait over top !

    Can you even use baitfish ( other than minnows and dogs from bait shops) not caught in the same lake and if so what are species limitations? Not a bait fisher but know there used to be all kinds of regulations on what could be used and where it could come from.

    Dry Ice in a yeti/rtic cooler?

    get a 36 pack of bottled water freeze them, and layer them with food ...Bottom most bottles will keep 5 - 7 days days in 90 degrees plus temps and the cooler stays in 35 to low 40's range... No need to pay for ICE plus you have extra Cold water as they thaw. I plan my meals and freeze as much as I can packing it So I work from top to bottom out at camp. If using for Beer cooler do the same thing but spread frozen bottles about between cans .. dump a couple bags of cubes and throw one closed bag on top.

    Rim waters with a fly rod

    Woods Canyon and Willow Springs for that matter will be packed on Weekends the rest of the summer ... I think even more so now that they stocked the Tiger trout ... Best saved for Mon- Thurs excursions IMO ... Chevlon is always a good choice if you do not mind the Hike.
  16. Did I win yet? As long as you believe, anything is possible. I had a really good response to that and then I realized it would put a Journey song in my head. I can't have that ear bug all day long! IA DON'T STOP BELIEVING !!!!

    No quail left

    looks yummy !!!! I have already seen some pairs running with two hatches ... My brother lives in east mesa, and had about a dozen of those little furry popcorn guys come out from behind his wood pile last week in his back yard. Hopefully they are repopulating well for you to restock your freezer !
  18. Heading Back to a Remote scouting spot ... Seen movement about a mile ahead .. glassed up a group of banditos with AKs Beating and taking bales from a group of Mules ... Watched them for about 20 mins, contemplated our options, and only having a few Hand guns, we decided to back out and call BP .. Have Called BP or drove out informing BP of the locations of 6 different groups of Mules over the years... Always amazed how quick they get helicopters up in the areas. The Rougher the terrain, and the further from roads that BP can quickly access, the more likely it seems you are to see the Less friendly type of Illegal. At least in my experience.

    Huge Texas Rattler

    This snake it most likely in not any bigger than 4 - 4 1/2 feet .... It is pushed forward to the camera and being tilted way up on the gambrel ( which is at least 2 feet ) IT IS AN OPTICAL ILLUSION AND TRICK PHOTOGRAPHY

    Huge Texas Rattler

    pretty sure part of it is illusion by depth of field .... Lots of these pics where they are holding it way forward making them look 3 = 4 times bigger than they are

    Point Guard

    Nailed it on the Head ... People have been Using Non Hunting Pools with Spouse and Grand Parents in order to transfer tags to Hunting Minors for years ... Now they create a system that with 4 or 5 individuals you can not only increase your own odds every year in just a matter of a few years, but also being able to profit from it all so they can get the extra revenue. I have known 5 people my entire life that had a medical issue that made it impossible for them to hunt... 2 of them were Premium Bull tags that cost them significant Bonus points ... All Donated to non profits and all were very happy in what they had done for another... 1 was a little bummed at losing his bonus points. Those that like this are going to be the ones who put in for numerous out of state hunts as well as individual in state hunts with multiple family members and most likely the majority of tags surrendered will not be do to a medical reason keeping them from hunting.. Do you really think these individuals are going to surrender tags in a Timely fashion in order to allow G&F the time to see it go into any other hand but the non profits ? I doubt it. Even if they did How is G&F going to get the Tag to the guy that would have been rightfully next in line, what if that guy who just missed that tag in the bonus round ended up with a 3rd choice tag ... and the guy that might have gotten that 3rd choice tag got nothing ... Like KRP said this affects every phase of the draw and when people start cheating the system due to greed versus necessity multiple applicants will lose opportunity... Seems pretty simple to fix ... Allow only on single applicant applications the ability to surrender... require tag surrender no less than 30 days prior to hunt unless a medical emergency, in which a Doctors note could substantiate the need for surrender if after the deadline, but before the start of the Hunt. shoot Happens , I have seen a guy break his ankle hiking out 2 hours prior to first shooting light on opening day. Not like this would have benefitted him.
