    To the top with price reduction. It appears I may have been asking too much for this so it’s now 400$.

    I think your price was pretty good the 1st time, I was tempted but need another shotgun like a hole in my head.

    it might not sell fast due to the 30" barrel and fixed full choke. (basically its a duck and goose gun) but in 2-3/4" inch only

    According to the news, more than 45,000 people from all over the US applied. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

    you probably have 50% that wont be able to pass the shooting test, and another 20-30% that wont pass background test ;)

    Since you brought it up- has there every been a government sanctioned removal of burros in AZ (lethal or non)?

    If I recall the feds moved some at one time about 8 years ago?. the lethal one I cant honestly say Ive heard rumors but there just rumors.

    back in the 50-60s they were being shot I read that in a po ackley book, he used a 17 Remington. it dropped them dead in there tracks instantly.( I believe this was PO ackely I read it in. I havent read a book in 20 years. I do have his books

    I would be more excited about the burro one than the buffalo one

    oh if your jeeps lifted its easier than a stock height jeep as your arms have more support.

    since your going to have it out for a clutch. I personally would tear into the trasmission and transfer case and make sure everything is perfect replace all seals as well. the kits are pretty cheap for parts. if you dont want to tackle the trasmission and transfercase there is a guy on the west side that will do it for you extreamly reasonable and he knows his shoot. he probably does 10-20 a month manual trannys and transfer cases. generally has all parts at his house including hard to find expensive parts that are good but used.

    I did a few on a few jeeps,, the latest one was my daughters 97 TJ..

    both I did by myself alone in the shop at night. its fairly simple you do need 2 decent floor jacks and a jack stand to support engine.

    2 ways to do it, keep it bolted to the skid plate and unbbolt everything else tranny and transfer case all in one. or take off skid plate then transfercase then tranny.

    the best way however is pull the front clip off and grab a cherry picker and pull everything at once. faster and easier but takes longer.

    sorry I'm on the west side

    I far as it takes, This one isnt the farthest but the most memorable. a very good friend of mine shot his 1st cow elk just before dark one year. actually it was his 1st big game animal if I recall. I had worked from 4am and got the call about 5pm. once I got the call I was on the road. 2.5 hours later I reached where he was.  we headed for another 1 hour drive to where he shot the elk. little bit of snow on the ground colder than crap and we were both beat and hadn't even gotten to the elk yet. after about an hour of searching we found it. gutted it quartered it and started the long haul out. it was maybe 1 mile one way. One big steep canyon down and up and some flat walking to a road. If I recall we did it in 3 trips but I think that took like 5-7 hours we were both younger at the time maybe in our high 30's. I got back on the road and headed home right after we finished as he did as well. the sun was coming up. before we even got to pavement. both of use were up over 24 straight hours. Was one of the toughest pack outs I have ever done. yet one of the most memorable and funnest because it was with a good friend and his very 1st elk.

    he about died laughing when I told him to slip inside the rib cage and carry it out like a naked barrel man. and he did except he was clothed.  kinda funny watching him try to balance himself with now hands going up and down the canyon or over fallen timber . I swear a few times he'd fall over and roll down 50-100 feet then get back up and go at it again.

    happend to find the pics by accident this mornin

    My Sister-In -Laws nephew  has been in the hospital with Covid that turned into pneumonia. He was having a tough enough time they induced him into a coma and he has been fighting for his life. He lost that battle a couple of hours ago and leaves behind a wife and daughter. He was 31 years old.

    I hate snakes but can tolorate king snakes.

    was out dove hunting one year and our oldest daughter was a round 6, she came running back to where the adults were sitting with the adults kids yelling for the dads to catch the snake. Well I guess I wasnt the only ps'y. they all said no they hated snakes too. but not to be out done My daughter goes well my dad aint affraid of no snake he will get it. of coarse the other adults sheered her one.

    so I followed the kids. sure as crap there was a black and white snake slowly going in the hole. it ha about 10 " inchs of tail sticking out. so with the kids cheering and the adults drinking and busting my balls I started pulling. this snake was not only strong it wasnt a little snake maybe 3 feet long.. anyhow doves stopped flying time to go home. kids like snakes in the truck somewhere. I am like WTF. she finds it under the seat grabs it and says shes taking it home. Ok after all it was pretty cool.

    get home its was like a kitten to that kid. she carried it everywhere yes even to school. it would sleep on her bed sit with her while she was eating doing school work or watch tv. never bite anyone but would hiss at me. thing was great when friends came over they would be sitting on the couch and it would slither up on there lap and freak them out. Everyone aways had a good laugh. so after a year Mom came to visit. she got off plane late at night and said hi and went to bed.  In the kinda early morning we awoke to a blood curdling scream. it was my mom. ran into her bedroon to see what happened. she was terrified and shaking, daughter couldnt understand.

    seems mom was sleeping and the kid got up early and said grandma wanna see my pet snake. so mom said yeah half asleep kids layed it on her chest. she thought it was a toy grabed it to look and it moved.

    after 3 years of it we gave it to a buddy, it disappeared in his house and he didnt find it for almost a year friend of his was sitting on his couch and the snake came up out of the cushions and sat on his lap.

    he had it for about 4-5 years till they moved. said the thing would go out the doggy door and come back in when every it wanted to.

    Cool pics. glad you were able to make it up.

    that was the only sheds you found? did you try west of indian hollow in the sage and juniers?

     

    Years back on the road that comes from ferdonia going to big springs just as you pass the cattle guard theres a little bowl off the west side of the road. we used to find half dozen small sheds there every trip mostly small 3 and 4's wasnt bad for a 10 min hike
