    A/C on vacation?

    I agree with resolute. I am a home inspector and get to see first hand what happens when people turn their ac too high or off. You will have a lot of drywall cracks throughout your home. Almost every garage I look at has some for that same reason. I think 85 would be the max. If your water main is set up right you should also be able to turn off the water to the home without turning the landscape water off. That way you won't possibly come home to a flooded home.

    Congrats on a buck of a lifetime to everyone involved. That is just flat awesome.
  3. Great pictures. Looks like you have at least one digger there (freshly dug hole in yard).

    Calling Mule Deer

    I have the same call and have called in several does. I have never had the opportunity to call in a buck though so can't say if it works. I have rolled my window down on my running truck and had does come up within 10' of my truck a couple times (coues and muleys). I used it once at the rim on the north side of the grand canyon with about 20 people standing around and called in a doe. Most of the people were tourist and freaked out that a deer came running right through everyone to my call. I don't ever late archery hunt but if I did I would use it to try calling in does with hopefully a buck tagging along. Almost like calling for bulls during the elk rut.

    Hunt Namibia, Africa!

    Sweet, that looked like an awesome trip. That is going to be quite the taxidermy bill.
  6. My personal favorite was the swim goggles. You never know.
  7. That is crazy. It would be awesome to be able to hear his story of what has happened the last 5 months.

    Rifle Sling

    I have Slogan Outdoors rifle slings on all my rifles. They are made out of a rubber material that stretch. By far the best sling I have ever seen. Google them and watch the demonstrations. Pretty impressive.
  9. To me it sounds like they think the class is going to be horrible like school. I would try to change the way they look at the class as being fun. It sounds like everyone that has taken the class has had a blast.

    Going from 15x58 to 12x50. Will I regret it?

    I haven't looked through the 12s but I recently bought the Meopta 10X50s and absolutely love them. I think they are much better glass than the Vortex. But like a couple others have stated I wouldn't get rid of your 15s if you don't have to.
  12. Did mine today. System worked just like it is supposed to.

    Dealing with 100 days of heat

    Unfortunately I dread this time of year. I am a home inspector and get to climb around in a couple attics a day. I have been in older homes with horrible ventilation that are over 150 degrees sometimes.

    Kowa Highlanders

    I wonder how many of us have been called idiots by our wife's. I know I have a few times.
  15. Not sure if this is in the right forum or not but went out turkey hunting with a buddy of mine and his son this weekend on the Jr hunt. Last year I had a turkey tag in the same unit and we called in 3 coyotes while we were calling for turkey's. So this year I said I was going to be ready and took my AR along. Sure enough this guy made the mistake of coming in. I gave him a challenge call and he came flying in the rest of the way.

    E85?

    I don't know if I have ever been to a gas station that sells it down here. I know up in Idaho where I am from 85 is the regular low grade. I have the Silverado with the 6.2 and it was fine. But it was also only a few tanks of gas.

    JR Success

    That is awesome. Great job on the turkey. I was out this weekend on the Jr hunt and they were gobbling great, just hard to get them to come in.

    3 Free youth turkey hunting camps

    I will be up in the youth camp at the north end of 23 in the Colcord camp ground this evening for the weekend. I hope to see a bunch of turkeys already taken by the time I get there.

    Turkey Tactics (Glassing)

    I know glassing works. Because we have done it several times. Just not on purpose.
  24. Just remember that even though it may be an entry level bow not very many years ago it was the top of the line bow. Technology is crazy. I usually buy a new bow every time I draw a bull tag. It has been 4 years now. I shoot the Hoyt Rampage and love it. When I get my next archery tag I will upgrade again.

    Best camo patterns for for southern Arizona hunting

    I have a magazine in one of my stacks somewhere that did a test for what worked best for deer as far as different camo patterns and what they see. Granted this was several years ago (10 or so) but the best camo was a Hawaiian shirt that was red. Like others have said it is way overrated. Of course I wear Sitka gear so what do I know. It is the most comfortable hunting clothing I have ever owned. So I am happy.
