    Technically and legally you are required to obtain an FCC license and call sign to use channels 1- 7 if transmitting at more .5 watts ( many do transmit higher even though Still used as FRS but also GMRS) Channels 8-14 transmit at .5 watts and are FRS and require no license ... Channels 15 - 22 are GMRS and require a license and often go as high as 5 watts in hand held units. All channels are affected by obstacles and get max range line of sight ... So basically all Hybrids that claim longer ranges are in fact counting the channels you legally need to have a license for , at least until they do away with it, but that bill to do so has been sitting idle since 2010...

    ** Alpen 788 20-60x80

    The reviews look good... Not sure what you are looking for and the price but for the range have been using one of these for under 200 on amazon.... http://www.amazon.com/Bushnell-Trophy-Waterproof-Compact-Spotting/dp/B004I8U2GC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412804028&sr=8-1&keywords=bushnell+trophy+xlt+20-60x+65mm

    Snake ID

    That picture is a kingsnake subspecies only found in far southern/southeastern AZ. I'm assuming you are in the Phoenix area, but I could be wrong. Coachwhips are another species that is highly varied in its coloration (red, brown, black, red/brown) and are common in the Phoenix/Tucson areas. If Its a coachwhip, it is nonvenomous, but will bite the snot out of you (multiple times) if you try to catch it. Kingsnakes aren't as quick to bite. If it has yellow stripes mixed in and you are in the Valley or Tucson area, then its more likely a kingsnake. If you are in those areas and its black, its probably a coachwhip. They won't attack your kids and are also known to prey on rattlesnakes. Coachwhips are awesome looking snakes ... Of course we called them red racers growing up and caught them often. The Sonoran Whipsnakes down south are IMO way cooler with the varied colors .. either way if it is not a rattle snake I just let them be

    .270Win or Weatherby 7MM for Cow Hunt

    What wdenike Said ... If you shoot the .270 best that is the gun you go for since shot placement with either is going to determine how far you have to track .... My dad has used his .270 for dozens of elk over the years switched one year to 7mm rem and spent most of the hunt cussing the gun after a few missed shots ... He pulled out the .270 he has shot 30 plus years on the second to last day and filled his tag with one shot... Part mental, part mechanics of putting so many rounds through the .270, but none the less it took him from cursing to smiling.

    AZGFD Lic Scam?????????????

    AWH .... I think the Obama team could use a guy like you to help be a spin doctor and help rebuke all the previous lies ... If we see Obama using an excuse that he was merely testing the masses and we all failed ... I will give your backdoor excuse credit .. It is in fact that legit the idea may be stolen !

    unwelcomed visit

    Thanks so much! When I go hunting with you we are hunting on horse back! Even then we'll probably run into a buzztail and your horse will buck me off right on top the Dang snake! I don't hate all snakes just Rattlesnakes!!!! Maybe you watched "The Canyon" you are describing the one minute mark in the trailer ... LOL

    unwelcomed visit

    Wow .... Know that feeling of being caught a little off guard ... Was doing repairs with my cousin on his motor home going down Valentine when an AZ Black decided to come right between us .... having one moving feet from you and frozen is not a fun feeling , as soon as he cleared we got out and took care of him since there were children playing all around area waiting for us to finish .... I do not mind snakes either but when Rattlers get to close for comfort it is time for them to become a belt or hat band !

    Monday Check in

    No loss this week , but from what I hear, that is somewhat common when starting creatine and upping workouts.. Was a good weekend out hiking the hills and putting eyes on several nice bucks for the upcoming hunt !!! Do not think I will hit my target before the hunt, but endurance and strength is well improved... Should still be able to hit my 195 goal by the time Spartan comes around. !!!

    AZGFD Lic Scam?????????????

    Got that hate list going on???? I guess when ya stepped in the pile of stupid poo poo in the wall tent post. It must have stung to have so many members recognize it for what it was. But relax here is a cure. 10377377_979342895412767_8376010779434396163_n_zps0c3ed38d.png Have a wonderful day!!! Take care, Willie Only stupid poo poo I stepped on was the likes of you and the other arrogant members who do not like the truth... Nice thing about that is I can wipe my soles clean and see you laying on the ground left behind... I am not surprised by the stupidity in your posts and your not liking truthful opinions being shared by others... I am not trying to join your clique of Dee Dee Dees ... I stick by my words and as far as the wall tent post , heck it looks like it was a little less than PRISTINE... I think with all the views on that post plenty of others see the OP very much the same... I do not care if you like my opinions or if you like me... Your mental capacity is shown by your ignorant postings that only rival that of an upset kid on a the play ground calling names. Have fun in your ignorance, because at least in that you find your BLISS

    Border units

    I have hunted 36b a half dozen times in the last 9 years... there are some parts that are worse than others and I am often close enough to the border That I make it a point to Piss over the fence line at least once a trip.... We have seen everything from your run of the mill migrants to drug mules to a group of 8 Bandidos with AK's .... We have also never had an issue with Border Patrol and carry their number in speed dial, we have made close to a half dozen calls to report drug mules and Bandidos, that were always acted on promptly. Twice we had helicopters over the given coordinates within 10 minutes, other times we have been met by agents on horseback and in vehicles. We have, one several occasions, had tactical night crews push through ore camps at night coming back later with illegals in tow. IN all the times down there we have never had an altercation with any or had anything damaged or taken from our camp... If you get out and actually hike the hills you will be surprised how many sensors and cams they have in the remote areas and how often you will come out of your hike to a road with a BP agent waiting literally right there for you. Do we take extra precautions when hunting down south, of course, but nothing will keep us from hunting down there except the years we get drawn for a our first or second choice... To those hunting down there this year, all I have to say is be vigilant and aware, stay safe and communicate with BP and put their hotline # in your speed dial and keep phone with you at all times. p.s. the rougher the roads, access and terrain the more you will see the Bad side of what is coming across our borders... The worst elements like working areas that do not get traveled as much by BP do to the harsher terrain.... Tend to see more drones and helicopters in these areas and far fewer BP trucks leading back.

    AZGFD Lic Scam?????????????

    Not surprised by some of the comments and those lacking any common sense .... It is a little scary to think,that these guys are even carrying around loaded weapons. Here is a tip I tell my kids, when reading something that you do not fully understand and comprehend go ask for help from a teacher or a person who would know to help you understand. The only scam I see here is ignorant people blaming others ( the G&F) for their own lack of intelligence and common sense. Remember Wdenike, when it comes to sheep, stupid often follows stupid and often so close that their nose is buried in the stench of the others butt!

    10x14 Montana Blend Montana Wall Tent

    Seldom made a very reasonable offer without even REAL pics, and one that would not still being considered if there was no profit in for him.... Do not think I am messing up any sale as in OP's own words he does not have to sell it .... Not very Church like in my opinion to make some one wait like that .. SO I AM just putting options for Seldom out there ... As far as a frame goes anyone with a little know how can build one for less than 50 - 100 and with little know how can buy welded brackets and make for less than 200 ... Floor ... nice but not too hard to find alternatives and same goes for a fly ...
