    Hand-held Two-way Radios?

    Most of the guys I am out hunting with have Rinos .... A bit pricey but lots of benefits when you all have them... The biggest IMO is Polling and knowing exactly where everyone is at ... can send texts and way points easy ... can see what kind of terrain you are going to be facing humping across the land to meet up. Range is very effective and only places we have seen issues any FRS is would have issues in.

    I bet this guy would not stand for this kind of nonsense ... If his take on getting rid of crime and drug problems is an indicator. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/07/01/the-controversial-new-president-of-the-philippines-is-now-urging-the-public-to-kill-drug-addicts/

    Impropriety

    I have a son that just turned 18 and daughter 21 ... They both are optimistic of having success in life, but not do to any thing they learned through public education or our media. They have both worked since 16 . since about 10 Other than Gifts anything expensive they wanted they had to save up and pay 20% out of their own pocket. The Ex and I found out, when they have the concept of their time and their money as part of the investment, things are better taken care of. They understand the concept of budgets and saving and not getting in debt (The Dave Ramsey Way)... and neither are afraid of hard work or trying and failing. My daughter will be done with school in less than 6 months working in a field that starts in the 60k range and will not have any school debt. She is very optimistic and set to work hard in order to save to the point she can enjoy life without having to go into debt except possibly a mortgage. My son has decided to take a year of prerequisites at a CC before Joining the Navy but he also understands the choices are his. They understand actions and consequences ... taking responsibility for bad choices and to not fear failure but learn from it. In the current economic and social atmosphere of our country I do not think I could expect anymore from them at their ages.

    Impropriety

    A Land of Too many laws... Laws that have the primary purpose to grow and expand the niches for lawyers and corporate elite .. Too many lawyers (mostly liberal democrats) forming (not in service of) a government to control the people. Not a government indentured to the people, as it should be. Not a government to represent and speak for the people, as it should be.. A government lobbied by to many corporate dollars to make a free people, unknowingly, indentured servants... each person becoming a monetized commodity.. New generations Distracted by social programs that take away personal responsibility and consequences, blur the value of hard work and success, while tainting the difference between winning and losing. A government and media that forms a culture of social indifference and division as a means of distracting the populous from the reality of what their freedoms have become. IMO everything is not peachy and great and we are not a better nation than we were 50 years ago and we will never be until we see massive change. Slavery never went away.... only the masters have changed and minorities are no longer alone in the chains.

    Meat from animals in the rut

    Makes you wonder if old corn bagger ever tried to put a trough of beer out next to his corn for some Kobe Venison?

    Meat from animals in the rut

    Bucks and Bulls taken in the Rut are generally more gamey ... It has to do with the hormones flooding their system and staying in the meat when killed ... If They have a big swollen neck they are going to have a more gamey taste. The older the Bull or Buck and how long into the rut is also going to make a difference. Key is quick clean dressing, cooling and hanging. As mentioned above there are methods to help reduce the gamey taste but it will never be as good as a cow, doe or young spike Bull or Buck !
  8. I use my Garmin mainly for hunting and fishing, and when I log a waypoint I also try to remember to put it in a Log with specific information like time, date, weather and moon phase. What I would like is a GPS that when I make a waypoint it allows me to add meta data automatically to it (time, date, current temp, barometric pressure, and moon phase ) Not just a little comment ... I do not think there is anything out there that has a feature like this, but I think it would be a great addition to have. what do you guys think, what additional features would you want on your GPS?

    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 !

    Funny... They Have Turkeys in the Background, maybe implying something ? July 13th 7:30 am

    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 !

    need a few pointers for stripers at pleasant

    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.
  24. 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 !
