    Spoke to Tom yesterday, he made it so easy to transfer a 4A Bull Sept (archery) tag that a family member cannot go on. Tom it's in the mail.

    Leftover Shrinkage

    If one's strategy is to put in for top hunts knowing they won't get drawn, build points and a backup plan for a left over.... have at it. I prefer to have a tag and plan around it.

    Any boat guys want to give advice?

    I had a 17ft about 14 years ago when I lived in Tucson, used it for two years then sold it, the trips to the lake were a whole weekend because of the distance- slowly stopped using it. Last week we got a used 21ft Sea Ray with a 5.7 liter with 360 hours ($7500)... We have used it 3 times thus far and loved every minute of it- if we rented a boat for 3 trips we would have paid rental fees of $1000, which I know we wouldn't of done....probably just sat home. Looking at the receipts from the previous owner, looks like on average $300 a year in maintenance. From my door to the boat launched is 30 mins for Saguaro and about 50 mins to Canyon - very glad I can store the boat at my home. Very nice to get to lake around 8 am and be home around 2. Saguaro gets very busy on weekends, definitely have to be on the look out - boats and jets skis move fast on the lake. Like I said, so far it's been a blast. Good Luck

    Hunt to South Africa

    First, I would like to start by saying thanks for reading this topic. If I was asked the question in April “would you like to hunt in Africa”, I would have replied “someday”. However, life can take a sudden change and someday becomes now. South Africa is a wonderful place, in fact it’s a hunter’s paradise. It resembles Southern Arizona in many ways. My son, brother in law, friend and I booked a hunt with Crusader Safaris and it was absolutely everything I / we could have hoped for. We flew to Port Elizabeth (PE) from Phoenix, the travel was the worst part, total flying time is roughly 24 hours (not including lay-overs). In case you’re wondering PE is on the Southern Tip of South Africa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Elizabeth the outfitter arranged for us to stay the night at a Guest House to rest. The next day a guide picked us up and we headed to the Lodge that was a 2 hour drive. As we drove to the lodge, a pack of baboons were spotted and shots quickly rang out… the baboons we encountered on the hunt were very wild animals that are smart and move fast and make all kinds of noise…. After getting settled in at the lodge and taking a few shots with the guide’s rifles, we headed out. We split up with two awesome guides. Within an hour, we spotted a herd of Impala, the stock was on and I was fortunate to harvest this impala with a 180 yds shot that concluded day one. Warthog taken by my friend. Duiker taken by my brother in law. Day two: I brought my bow and decided to sit in a blind. Oranges were placed and before we knew it a pack of monkeys came in and I let one have it…. As we sat in the blind, a group of baboons came in, a large male came in and I let him have it…. Short video of the shot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GwU4nU3pN8&feature=youtu.be this concluded the morning hunt. In the afternoon, I sat another blind. A nice Kudu bull finally came in, unfortunately I thought my camera was recording but it was not… Day three: during the previous days, I explained the beloved Coues deer to the guide. He thought I would like to hunt Bush Buck… these are skittish little animals that, as their name states, live in thick brush. We would try (and succeed) to shoot one with my bow, spot and stalk… this took all day and finally right at dark it all came together… Days four and five: plans were made to head to another area to focus on spring buck, gemsbok and kudu, this would have us staying at a guest house… which was a great experience. Spring buck I shot, my son shot a cull spring buck. Bro in law and friends spring buck Kudu Gemsbok Day 6 – wanted my son to shoot a warthog (female can be shot for a very reasonable price), the wind was miserable and after glassing for some time we finally glassed up some hogs and the stock was on. While walking to the group, spotted another herd and my son made a great shot…. While driving out, this hog was routing in a field, we stopped and it never noticed us…. I got out with my bow in hand and let an arrow fly… see the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGQHI3KZAgo&feature=youtu.be thing just dropped in its tracked, right through the front shoulder into the heart. Last day- I still had a blesbuck on my list, I “traded” the male for a female and a female wildebeest … blesbuck not my most favorite animal to hunt… but I shot this female, The wildebeest was a blast, these things are wild… spotted a herd had to crawl about 100 yds and my son made a perfect shot… more pics from a wonderful trip

    New bow opinions

    I just got a new bow, went with the Mathews Vertix, shot a few, always been a PSE (guy formerly living in Tucson), I really like the Vertix. Bowtech and Elite were close second.

    How bout them Devils!

    Kansas was in the Final 4 last year 2018 and 2012, runner up 2012, under achieve? Miller has done nothing - or yet to be proven. Sure he had an assistant got to jail for taking a bribe, but THAT BRIBE WAS NOT PAYING FOR KIDS TO GO TO UA.

    Arlo vs Blink

    we have 4 blink - it uses one AAA lithium battery, the back camera records all the time because of the dogs and I have replaced the battery twice, the front and side cameras have been installed for about 3 months and no battery changes. The blink are as easy as it comes to install and setup

    How bout them Devils!

    tough year, maybe UA can get a win this week against Cal. UA lost two starting players of an already underman team in January (Williams and Akot). Williams should be back this week. Hard to believe this team was 5-0 in the PAC now they can't win a game.

    How bout them Devils!

    There will be some....how strong is the question. There are going to be A LOT (50) of schools implicated so it will probably be a slap on the wrist - "lack of institutional control" - probably. It will kill the sport in the short term if they come down heavy handed.... big names like Duke, Kansas, Michigan State, Tenn, Ohio State, North Carolina. Arizona, Purdue, Louisville, etc. ASU won fair and square last night - hats off to them. It's a rarity for any team in college BB to win 6 straight over a single team- ASU was going to be UA eventually. This is the worst UA team in a decade EVERY Cat fan knew this before the season began. This year ASU was to have a breakout season.... that hasn't happen.

    Congrats, Bobby! It only took three years and an overtime against the worst Zona team in a decade to win your first game against them!
