    Mid Life/wife crisis Question

    Tacoma is a glorified SUV. I hate tacomas but I have no idea what you're saying here
  2. And double check that you're a 1/4 mile from a water source?I just take a survey transit and shoot a line. Calculate the land lay and set my cam. Most quarter miles are more like 300 feet. The rule doesnt specify land lay or as the crow flys.300 feet is a quarter of a quarter mile.but how is it measured? Walking steps or a straight line? What if the water source is in a hilly area?You go ahead and explain that to azgfd that you put it 300 feet because you're a surveyor. Let me know how that goesI dont run cams on public water as it is. But I think its a good point, how do they measure? And Im not a surveyor. I just stayed at a holiday inn express last night! The G&F were very clear at their workshop that this, being a fair chase rule, would apply to public AND PRIVATE land. It would basically become an illegal way to hunt, anywhere in the state, unless they adjust their proposal. stop me from putting a camera on MY private pond on MY property! Wont happen. you shoot deer without a tag on your property too?

    Mid Life/wife crisis Question

    I would say its more the upfront costs and the fixes that kill you then the maintenance. Yes oil changes are more expensive but thats not huge. I buy a new F150 eco boost max tow every two years. I put 99500 miles on them and then trade. The last one I got was $35200 off the lot. A comparable diesel woulda been just shy of $50,000. Thats almost $15,000 difference. If I trade every two years thats $7500 a year. I got ostracized on here for saying I spend $2000 a year on out of state tag applications as being a rich guy, I would say that anyone who owns a diesel spends far far more then that just to listen to it hum. Dont get me wrong there are people out there who truly need them, but I would say 99% if diesel owners dont. I pull probably 10,000 miles a year with mine. I farm part time so its anythkng from combine headers to seed wagons (15,000#) to my camper, but in my opinion I still dont pull enough to justify an extra $7500/yr in cost. If you break something on a diesel its gonna be $5-10k for literally anything in them. I see these guys talking about this motor or that and the say 6.4L is great you just have to do this delete and that bulletproofing. If Im gonna spend $50k for a pickup I better not have to take it to some aftermarket dude with a flat brim hat to spend another $10k to make it work. Thats my 2 cents on diesel!!! As my uncle (a lifetime mechanic) used to say. The three Ts of diesel: Trucks Tractors and Trains! (Dont get me started on pickup vs truck, we are referring to pickups here. Trucks have more then two axles. you need 5 gasser oil changes by the time you need 1 diesel oil change. diesels especially 4x4 hold their value better than any gas truck. f150 has the worst resale value. I change the oil every 5K on my diesel, 15qts. That is the factory recommendation, sure you can go longer but to do so you should add a bypass filter and do a UOA to see whats happening to the viscoscity, copper buildup etc. a 2014 cummins factory recommendation is 15k miles.

The rule doesnt specify land lay or as the crow flys.300 feet is a quarter of a quarter mile. Hmmm. Does this come about from a new way of calculating distance or more of your simple sarcasm??? In all the schools I attended, a mile was deemed to be 5,280 ft. Thus a 1/4 mile is 1,320 ft. or 440 yds. That's what I said. 100 yards = a quarter of a quarter of a mile
  8. Thats how I feelYou're a communist too
  9. Well if YOU don't do it, what does it matter if they take it away from everyone else that does. If it doesn't affect me who cares. am I doing it right?

  12. How you know where every tank is? You're gonna set a cam then walk in a quarter mile circle?

    Does everyone have their popcorn ready??

    I will gladly eat my words if he is proven innocent. But as I stated before, I as an individual am not subject to the kind of burden of proof that the government is in order to imprison someone. Where there is smoke there is fire. And I have to say, you reap what you sow and Blake has been nothing but a loud mouth narcissistic jerk since showing up around here. He has been asked, counseled, advises and reasoned with by a number of very respected members of this site and has been a disrespectful cuss at every opportunity. I hope he goes to prison and we never have to read his vitriol again. Seeing the hurrendous filth that his brother spewed out over the past few days just confirms what everyone has felt for a long time. I believe I am a reasonable person, and really havent ever had a real problem with anyone on this site, but this creep has taken advantage of every opportunity to troll, berate, hate, swear and treat many members of this site like dirt. I spent an entire summer placing trailcams womdering if they would be stolen because he spent time in the area, because of that I never posted any of my pics. The fact that we have to go to those lengths to avoid a member of this site because he confessed to stealing cams, after he had been accused for a long long time. So Coach, I appreciate your level approach to this and have a lot of respect for you, but please understand why so many of us arent waiting for the years this will take to grind through the justice system. I know this isnt Christ like, but I hope this is a particularly miserable experience for him. I know this guy is, well not respectable, not a good guy, not an ethical person, not an ethical hunter. But all I ask is that before we rush to judgment, we know at the very least what he's been charged with, and what factual evidence we know. I like rumor mongering about the same level as I like poachers and thieves. And I put people that don't think adults should be able to protect themselves with guns at the level as communists

    Keto

    As for your blood work and foods that don't make since as long as you are below your TOTAL DAILY ENRGY EXPENDITURES (TDEE) which you are with 2300 calories your body will use the fats for energy and doesn't store any because you are burning up more then you take in. Even if you eat lots of sugars and fats and you are below TDEE your blood work will get better. Different story happens once you are on a calorie surplus which you already know since you know what its like to be at 284lbs. Beside all this stuff good for you and keeping at it and getting down the weight how do you know what his tdee is without knowing his activity level or BF%

    Does everyone have their popcorn ready??

    In the state of Arizona theft of over $1k to $2k is a class 6 felonyIn Arizona if somebody takes a lunch box or a hammer or anything out of the bed of your truck it's a felony. It's funny sometimes what's considered a felony and what's considered a misdemeanor. We're also forgetting if any of this took place on the rez there may be different charges thereMakes sense one deer is from thr rez... on the citation it only has two counts of poaching... where is the 3rd deer? idk Maybe it was only 2

Unless it's a firearm that's stolen. I'm not a lawyer, but I did stay in a holiday in express last night.
