Sounds to me like modified extortion.

Have her walk at heel.

Gotta keep the dog working! It aint every day that you see an Airedale swimming after ducks in 40* water. She loves working, but does prefer to retrieve doves on the dry ground 🤣

Yeah. I've decoyed a little bit with buddies but never been super successful, and never with her.

Awesome.

How is the call coming along?

Went through 19C the other day. Not a single agent working it. I've never seen that before. Still a bunch of rovers parked, but not a sole watching the lines.

Levi, Scooch and I set out for a mixed bag. Predators, ducks, quail were what we were after. On our second stand, I saw a coyote making its way down the draw on my sons side. He was set up with a standing tripod and my Marlin 60 in 22. I told him it was coming and to get ready. About a minute later, the coyote goes up the other side on a little hill, out of his view so I put it on his neck and send a 50 Ballistic Tip from my AR through him. Driving out we jumped a covey of Gambles and I dropped one, but we never recovered it. A few ponds later we had 4 ducks. A hen and drake buffelhead, a hen ringneck and a hen gadwall. Four ducks, four beautiful retrievals by my 18 month old Airedale... She's really getting the hang of this bird retrieval, as well as swimming for ducks! She's an absolute menace on dove, especially considering this was her first season and she's never had any formal training for that.

Levi killed 3 deer in Texas last year, he did really well. Hopefully that translates to Arizona javelina as well!

Hes got his first Arizona tag here in a few weeks. Youth 36b Javelina.

How about a glock 40 (10mm) with a holoson?

I would assume it's no different than regular gold on the market anyways.

FYI, I have been to Mexico, deep in Sonora, Ciudad Obregon in 2008. 16,17 how ever many years old kids manning 50 caliber machine guns pointed at us at basic checkpoints is enough to give me the creeps. Let alone all the schit that one can get caught up in, accidentally.

How many reports have you read that the average American doesn't see?

I hate when people post non-hunting related stuff.... Having said that, 2 TVs . One 50ish inches, the other 37,38ish. $100 for both. $20 for the big igloo. Well used but still works fine.

Its far less safe than most imagine. Especially now.

Still makes me scratch my head why people would cross the border to go to that place. All of the "we've never had a problem" answers just make me laugh.

"Found 0:900" I assume is Facebook copy and paste code for $900.

2023 was a rough year. From December of 22, until now we have lost my uncle, dad and grandma. Along with all the other turmoil in the world, massive inflation, and the immigration problem that one can not fathom without seeing it with ones own eyes. On the plus side, I spent a ton of time in the field, my dog is turning into a better and better hunter every time out, and my son still wants to do fun stuff with me.

Good season guys

That thing is beautiful. If you've got any interest in trading it for a couple of 10 mm pistols, let's talk.

Yep, agree on all. Kind of like cowboys fans, loud when things are going well, silent all other times.

My ex- wife preferred my 28 with a brake over my .257 wby.

No point. They only talk when they are decent. And since they are currently horrible, they won't even read this thread.
