Sky Island junkie

We are insured by State Farm. I thought I’d have to go elsewhere for classic insurance for my 76 bronco but they insure it for a stated value of 45k and it costs us like $280 every 6 mos. Stipulations are had to have historic plates and can’t drive over 1000 miles a year. Have to take a pic of odo and sent to them once I year. FWIW

I referred Darren Spicer (Spicer Sprinkler works) for years when we got too busy. I always got good feedback from people he took care of for us. I haven’t talked to him in years but look him up. Worth a try unless there’s a member on here you can give the business to. Good guy

I’m not completely against the idea of the E tag but to me an “E” tag should be just that, totally electronic. I’m not sure how that happens? Maybe taking identifying pics and uploading to the app? I don’t know but this making our own tags out of whatever we have and affixing however seems like they don’t really care about the shenanigans that can happen in the field with tagged animals and more about saving money on postage and printing tags.

Not sure how “to eat “ came out as earring??

Go back to these. Tougher earring tag soup though!

I was in the field probably 25 days on various hunts and didn’t see near as many pigs as usual. Coyotes are super thick so we’re working on that

I honestly thought for the guys that sign up that all you had to do was check the box on the app when you get into range. Apparently you have to still create your own tag in the field probably with no signal so not sure how you get the validation code in that case?

This has been my biggest bitch with G$F lately. I haven’t had a lion tag in 2 years because they can’t keep their vendors in stock on the tag booklets! Every time I go in they say they’re waiting on the books. Maybe just coincidence but bs I’m not running all the way in to buy one at the office so I guess when I see a lion I’ll have to pass!😂

And carrying a rolling of duct tape and a sharpie takes up less space?

I talked with a friend in Benson who’s been trying to retire and he only does estate law anyway but he understands all this bs and he gave me the name of Joel Boroweic (spelling?) in Sierra Vista, if it happened in Cochise. Since it happened in Pima you could call him for a referral or call Marks office in Benson and ask his daughter Ann who they’d recommend for this type of thing. I’m sure they’d give you a few minutes of their time to explain how it goes. Battaglia/Roberts PC I believe. Look it up I don’t have the office number just His cell. Hopefully whoever she can recommend would be as down to earth as they are. Good people! Good luck man!

Oh man! Did it happen in Cochise or Pima county?

Are they going after you personally because your limit of liability is not enough to cover what the damages are?

Reminds me of the 10 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean joke!

Always wanted to smack that guy for some reason!

It actually happened almost 2 years ago so there’s the whole statute of limitations thing. I just try to educate myself best I can before giving an attorney a dime. Yeah that comparable negligence thing is a load of crap!

Unfortunately he was to a certain degree at fault. We learned probably 30 years ago about comparable negligence in a similar accident where my wife wasn’t cited but we were assigned a certain percentage of liability. Basically for getting out of bed that morning she was considered partially liable. But yeah I’d ignore until they show whether there’s enough money involved to push it personally and he gets served or a certified mailing. I doubt it

If they’re reaching out to you personally, it’s probably because your insurance companies attorneys have told them go away. Seems weird. I’d ignore them.

Yeah I grew up there. Last house we built there in 2000 it broke my heart to put in one of those propane inserts that we never used! So we built an outdoor wood burning fireplace!

Ah yes the stupid no burn days of Arizonas Los Angeles! We don’t have those!

That’s what I saw!

I replaced an Sig a couple years ago with a Vortex Razor 4000. Not a Vortex guy for the most part, Swaro everything else, but did it for the warranty. I’ve been happy with it so far. It has ranged to a little over 3000 yards for me and pretty dependable at over 2000 yards. That said the Leica 2400r is on sale at Scheels for 399.00. I would’ve gone that route if I could have gotten one at that price. Might be a little out of his range but something to consider

I did a vin search on my 21 and just the one open recall that I knew about came up (tailgate latch) so assuming they didn’t customize all of them? I too wish I’d never gotten rid of my 5.9!

Where I hunt a lot of the younger bucks are still friends. The older bucks have been singles since early Nov but zero chasing. Probably won’t see hard core action till mid Jan
