If it hasn't changed from years past, it runs from the west side of Rabbit Island down to about Methodist Creek. Not sure about Orange Peel or Bermuda (as I usually don't fish that end). All marked with buoys. Here's an old map.

Harbor Freight. Medium sized trap. Worked well for a few dozen when a crazy neighbor was feeding ferals for years on end.

Nice digs! Wolf of Wall Street? Good luck out there. Been following the thread. Hope you guys put one down.

Nice work! At the few spots I've been to for the second time this season....birds seem to be flushing much further out now. 40+ yards. It could be just a fluke, but numbers are still great, as seen in your pic. Good stuff.

Headed out this morning for a couple of hours to a different spot east of the valley that has held decent quail numbers over the last 10 years or so. 5 mile hike, 7 birds and spooked up 4 decent size mule deer bucks, so that was a good surprise. Really liking the Federal HiBird shells in a #6. No lost birds this trip and the heavier shot doesn't chew up the bird any more than when I was using #7.5. Really cuts down on time looking for a downed bird....they drop like a rock, so probably sticking with that round for the remainder of the year. Gonna try some of Hank Shaw's quail recipes this time around. Good stuff.

Looking for a referral/recommendation for someone to work on a CanAm Commander 1000. Having issues with it constantly going into limp mode. Could be MAF, oil pressure sensor, or something else. Can't figure it out and looking to pay for someone to go thru it, diagnose and fix. RideNow is backed up big time and always seems to be very transactional. Thanks.

Thanks guys. I'll reach out to both. Battery seems good last time I checked, but worth checking again.

Ya, agreed. My Beretta A300 can also be finicky with low brass. Made the switch to heavy game Federal and no issues.

What kind of shells were you shooting?

Picked up 6 in 90 minutes yesterday after work. Missed some easy shots...practice makes perfect I guess. Been going to the same spots year over year....and this was the most amount of birds I've seen in a very long time. Should be a great year.

Selling my 2200 for $150. In great shape, packed out one cow elk. No rips, tears and all zippers/buckles work great. Optional water bladder is available for $20. Located near 101 and Baseline also travel quite a bit near 24th St and Camelback. Dane - 3O3-9O9-2425

I could see fryers working as long as the temp control is accurate. My only issue would be the volume of the fryer. If I'm doing a large batch of tri tips, ribs, etc (for instance I did 6 tri tips and 9 racks of ribs for a houseboat trip to Powell) it wouldn't work so well. Using a sous vide "tower" allowed me to do huge batches in a 75 qt cooler.

TTT - Price dropped to $150

Where are you located?

I've been using one for 5+ years. It's great and really just another kitchen tool. I've been using it for anything from pre-making camp meals, to 36 hour short ribs, infusing vodkas and bourbons, tomahawk steaks, etc. Camp meals typically include a couple tri tips at 132* for about 12 hours (at home), then leave the tri tips in the bag and back into the fridge/cooler until they're time to eat. Cut them very thin and a quick sear on a cast iron skillet. Makes for a good lunch with King's Hawaiian rolls and some horseradish sauce. Short ribs - use a Korean gochujang paste on the ribs. Vacuum seal and sous vide at 150* for 36 hours. Remove from the bath, refrigerate and when ready to eat, just sear on a skillet and good to go. Makes for good social bbq or camp meal. Vodka - Pour vodka in an empty glass beer growler until 3/4 way full. Dump in cut up fruit such as apple, pear, mango. Put the lid on the growler and into the bath at 150* for 4 hours. Makes for great infused booze. Works the same with bourbon or rum. Makes good for social get togethers. Chicks who booze love it. Elk backstraps - same as a steak, 132* with just salt/pepper and a tbsp of butter. Into the bath for 2 hours and sear on a skillet or screaming hot grill. Turns out great, as it's cooked medium-rare all the way thru, not just in the middle with well done outer edges. I could go on and on, but hope you get the idea. Kenji Lopez has a bunch of good tips on his website on sous vide.

Looks awesome. Nice work! Now I'm thinking I need to add a meat slicer and a griddle to my kitchen.

Did pretty well last year with Federal HI-bird in #6 shot. Probably using the same this year.

I have a pair of Danner Steadfast boots in a size 13 that I can part with if you're interested? Photos in link below. https://photos.app.goo.gl/fySHuThyT8WL2hW1A

Cafe Bustelo is great.

Scrap the boat at the dump off of the 87. Shouldn't cost too much. Or list it for free on CL/OfferUp. For the trailer, you're probably going to have to file for an abandoned title. Which is kind of a pain in the arse. But without the trailer title, that might be your only option.

Check with Oliver (Ropofishhead) from the old Bass Zone. Been a while since I last had him work on some of my reels. But always did good work. 480-252-2228
