Wow! I don't know how I missed this but glad I ran across it. Incredible wildlife experience and to get it on video is amazing. Thanks for posting.

Also, the wolverine rug on the wall in the first three pics is cool! Don't see that every day. Thanks for posting and thanks to your customer for allowing it.

4 laminated U.S. Dept. of the Interior Geological Survey topographical maps for the White Mountains. Suitable for framing or spreading out on the kitchen table and dreaming of hunts to come. (Alpine, Luna Lake, Nutrioso, & Escudilla Mtn. quadrangles.) $15 each or take all for for $40. In Tempe/Chandler area. Work downtown PHX. Prefer FTF since shipping would likely be a pain.

Maps back up. $40 for all four. Other than the volume discount, I don't have much, ahem, latitude on price. But I will throw in a joke about parental puns for no charge: Q: Do you know when a joke becomes a Dad joke? A: When it becomes apparent.

Saw my first white-winged dove of the year in the PHX are on Monday... Cool way to mark the seasons in the Sonoran Desert.

Strange indeed. I've never heard of that.

Cool set! My eyeball guess is 315

Well done! I'm glad the population there is doing well. Congratulations on the beautiful ram and thank you for a great write-up with pictures! The hard work in beautiful country with old friends and new friends helping out is worth it but the beautiful ram is the cherry on top! Thanks again.

Maybe ringtail cat if not a fox?

Yes. In the mailbox yesterday (11/20/24). Same with son-in-law. Good luck to everyone!

Well done! Care to share the story of the hunt?

I've used pillow cases and name brand game bags. I didn't know Marsupial Gear made these but will look into them. Thanks for posting.

This is indeed one of the most interesting threads in a long while. We're all fighting the indefensible assault of time but stay in the fight! Now that you're retired, maybe think that your job is to train your body. As you said, you still have "the heart and desire to get out there in the woods and hunt, camp or fish" and now that you have more time maybe think about your job is to "train for the adventure." Movement is medicine. I have a friend who says "Motion is lotion. Rest is rust." He's right. I find it helps to think of the hunt when the inertia tries to drag me down and keep me on the couch. Thanks for a thought provoking post.

1 more win and my Devils are bowl eligible. I don't care if it's the Ronco Toilet Bowl. A bowl is a bowl. Go Devils!

I heard good things about Wescott and also PakRax. Both locally made. Check the generation 4Runner because I don't know if they do all of them. A cheaper option might be Prinsu. There are a couple stores called Rack Attack in the Valley that might have some options or advice too. Cool present for your boy.

Glad you'll be able to stock more soon, Mark. They are my favorite map and make a great stocking stuffers too.

Great tale of perseverance with a nice reward for all the hard work (and fun) you experienced to get there! Thanks for posting.

I'm pretty moderate on most issues. There is a quote I like by economist John Kenneth Galbraith said (the part in bold is seen most often but I'm providing the rest for context): "I react to what is necessary. I would like to eschew any formula. There are some things where the government is absolutely inevitable, which we cannot get along without comprehensive state action. But there are many things — producing consumer goods, producing a wide range of entertainment, producing a wide level of cultural activity — where the market system, which independent activity is also important, so I react pragmatically. Where the market works, I'm for that. Where the government is necessary, I'm for that. I'm deeply suspicious of somebody who says, "I'm in favor of privatization," or, "I'm deeply in favor of public ownership." I'm in favor of whatever works in the particular case."

On my watch list now. Thanks gents.

Your instinct was the same as mine. It was the poster's 1st post. No pic of the actual item (just a copied website pic). Great price. No buddies jumping in saying "Solid person. Buy with with confidence." All hallmarks of a scam. Only thing missing was link to click. Don't ever apologize for being vigilant. It helps the community. If we're wrong sometimes, so be it. Thanks for keeping an eye out.

I was considering something like this. How "new" is new by your definition? (Free bump regardless.)

Big Browns (Adam) recently did these two for me. They came out great! He did quality work and was responsive and looked for ways to make the transaction convenient.

Certainly if a deal was reached then it should be, as we say, a done deal. Offer + Acceptance of Offer = Deal. At that point, if either the buyer or seller renege then bash away. Reneging on a done deal costs the other side time/money/frustration.

I can empathize with deercrazy's experience. Although it's true that its not difficult to say "no", it should also not be difficult to hear "no." I've had the "I can come look at it a week from Tuesday" (which is not an acceptance of the offer and is really only an offer to kick the tires which is often followed by an offer significantly lower than the offered price). To which I respond "Okay, I'll let you know if it sells before then." Then, when I sell to a person who unambiguously accepts the offer to sell at the offered price by saying "I'll take it.", I inform the tire-kicker that the item has sold and instead of hearing "Cool, thanks for letting me know.", the person grouses (sometimes to the point of chastising) because because they perceived that they had the right of first refusal. To me, however, they already exercised that right when they refused the offer by not accepting it and instead merely offered to potentially engage in future negotiations. I understand it's the nature of the business and we should have thick skin but being righteously indignant is fun and free. Sometimes that's all we have in this world. 🤣

Thanks for the update. Any close up pics! And has your research shown if they can survive mange and regrow their coats?
