  5. This is a good article on why some new broadheads are too dull. I experienced this last Sept on my archery bull hunt. Despite negative opinions from a few folks on this forum regarding the G5 Montec, I used what I had on hand. I spent a lot of time sharpening them, using diamond film of various grits for final honing. No matter the effort, they would barely shave hair off the back of my hand. I made a good top of the heart, pass through shot on a 5x5 bull. There was a scant blood trail for less than 100 yards...then nothing. I did find the bull...nearly 1/2 mile away after 14 hours of searching. By some miracle, most of the meat was still good. I will not use those broadheads again. I see the Slick Trick Griz Trick 4-blade for sale on Camofire quite often....are they any good? https://www.americanhunter.org/articles/2018/12/31/are-the-latest-broadheads-too-dull/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=insider&utm_campaign=0119

    First Time Javelina Hunting Question

    We used to hunt javelina a lot near Oracle. Lots of cattle. Found javelina around them many times. One particular long weekend hunting them, we would laugh and say "better glass that herd of cows" because we were finding pigs feeding with the cows so often. It made it more difficult to sneak in, as the cows were kind of jumpy and would alert the pigs. We would have to wait for cows to move from behind a pig to get a shot. It seemed the pigs were using the cows as lookouts. Last weekend, in a heavily hunted area, I saw a good sized herd of pigs feeding on the south slope, in the sun, in typical pig fashion. I helped a younger hunter, I just met, get in on them. He was able to get two shots, but missed. It was fun to watch through the binos. I didn't even apply for pig this here. I haven't been that excited about dealing with a dead, stinky pig for a few years now. I've often thought it would be a blast to hunt them with a paintball gun. 😁

    I just renewed my hunt/fish license, archery deer tag, and lion tag at Sportsmans in Mesa. No extra fee. I was advised the $2 fee per license/tag starts Jan 1st. Those young ladies in there always seem to know the business.
  9. Awesome write up and awesome family. Congrats! You are blessed.

    RTIC Cooler sale

    That'll be like carrying a casket.....heavy. Great coolers. After my 2 week Sept elk hunt, I still had block ice in my 65.
  13. My son has a bent rear axle housing on his 2008 FJ Cruiser. Anyone have resources for finding one or having it repaired?

    ISO rear axle housing for FJ

    I think it happened before he bought it. Maybe a collision of some kind. I noticed the rear tires don't track with the front tires, when following behind. He is wearing out tires too quickly as well. We confirmed our suspicions last weekend, with some measurements/inspection. The housing is bent to the rear at the trailing arm bracket, about 1/2", passenger side.

    Elk hide tanning advice

    I had one done quite a few years ago, through a local taxidermist. With hair on, it was around $300. I think doing it yourself is a very tedious process.
  19. Great price on a great carry gun!! Is this the 1st gen or the 2.0 version? Do you have the "no safety" option?

    The Vias jacket looks like a Peloton model. I have a Peloton 240 that has that same "waffle" material.

    Those are dandy bucks! I love my .270. Great low recoil caliber. Haven't tried that round. May have to give it a go.
