  1. My Great-Grandfather's shotgun that I found cleaning out my uncle's barn in Litchfield, MN. It was rusted out pretty bad. Took about 3 mos to get it back to this shape. I have a few before and after photos I can post up if anyone's interested. The family thinks the shotgun dates back to the 1920's, maybe earlier.

  2. Point Loma in SD

     

    Another option would be, since you'll be taking the 5 up to Irvine. Swing by Jon's Fish Market in Dana Point. Not a bad choice. But if you have time when you are in OC, Dory Fleet on the Peninsula near Newport Pier is definitely worth a visit. It was a weekly stop for me when I was a long time resident of Costa Mesa.

     

    And if you need a spot here in the valley, highly recommend Chula Seafood in South Scottsdale. Family owned and run a great shop.

  3. What temp rating are you looking for? That makes a big difference in weight and loft. Being that you are looking at a budget of $100, that might eliminate any down bags. Down bags are great for being light, warm and they stuff very small. As far as synthetic bags at that price range, check out the Marmot Trestles 0*. You can find them on backpacker.com for $115 most of the time (or check steep and cheap, division of backpacker.com). That would be my choice for a synthetic bag. But my suggestion, save up another $100 and look at a Kelty Cosmic Down 0*. It's a great bag for a good price.


  4. I've used them multiple times, but not necessarily for a muzzle break. They have worked on 2 of my Browning shotguns as well as my 1911. The first time was to thread a full choked barrel to accept chokes for my Browning B2000 12g. Second time was to change out my ejectors to extractors on my Citori Trap. Third time was for trigger work on my 1911. I would not hesitate to use them again.

  5. Bumping an old thread here. Just picked up my javelina from Von Hanson's yesterday. Had them process it into the jalapeno cheese bratwurst as hoghntr recommended. Amazing stuff. Put a couple into the sous vide yesterday with a half a beer. Finished them up on the grill. Turned out awesome and will be a good compliment for this weekend's brisket. Washed down with some Santory and was a happy camper. Thanks again for the recommendation. My hound was also pretty happy with the smoked beef shanks they sell.

  6. Nice. Looks like the guy received some decent stingray shanks at the end of the video. Ouch. Been there done that in Las Conchas. No bueno.

     

    We've been out on kayaks pretty far off the beach at Las Conchas fishing for triggers and rock bass. We'd get the occasional big dark spots cruising underneath the kayaks. Always figured them as dolphins....but I guess I'll have this video in the back of my mind. Thanks. Hahahaha.

  7. They stocked a bunch of FL strain LMB in Roosevelt a while back. Now, I believe they are working on habitat for that lake. I believe, the only fish they stock into the Salt chain lakes are trout into Canyon, Saggy and Apache.

     

    If you have signed up for the "I Support Wildlife" program with AZGFD, they give you daily stocking reports (see pic below). From what I understand, the bass/cat/gill stockings are only in urban lakes.

     

    Saguaro is on fire right now. Literally fish in a barrel. Same with Bartlett, but you'll be having a good day if you catch a bass over 2# there.

  8. Current fluke is 13lb. Another member and I are negotiating a trade for a nice setup that was more than what I was looking for but tough to pass up.

     

    I have a 20# (I think it's 20#, I need to check) Danforth in my garage that I can part with for $20 if you'd like.

     

    Pending this other deal, and if it is indeed a 20 #, I would be interested. Please let me know. Thank you!

     

    Will do. I'll check when I get home from work and send you a message.
