    Map obsessions.

    My hunting buddies are not tech savy. They rely on me to do the map work. I'm the one making/printing custom maps for new areas, which can take hours. I hand them each a map and it never comes out of their pack...if it makes it to the pack.

    Probably Sunday.

    Map obsessions.

    Me too. I love maps, especially topo maps and Google Earth. I do a ton of scouting on my PC.

    Guide Schools

    I've guided a lot of youth/newbies on their 1st, 2nd, or 3rd hunt and had a ball. No pressure....they are thrilled just to be hunting. No money can replace the reward of a youth's excitement....and knowing you got another newby hooked for life. For a business, I think I'd rather be a camp outfitter than a guide. I have a servant's heart and love providing a comfortable camp, cooking, retrieving/skinning game, etc. If the hunter needs advice or help glassing, I'm there, but not responsible for finding a trophy. I love that part of it too but the pressure may take the fun out of it.

    Kodiak Canvas Flex-Bow Deluxe 10x14

    That's what I did with mine. I sprayed it down pretty heavy...no leaks. The only negative IMO is the awning. It's OK for shade, but worthless for rain. If rain is expected, I setup a popup canopy at the front door and tie the awning up underneath the canopy.

    kuiu icon pro 3200 with 2 belt pouches

    What torso length does this fit? Does the L/XL belt fit a 35" waiste? Why are you selling?

    Outdoorsmans long range pack

    What makes it a "long range" model? It looks to be the same size/height as my Optics model. They are great packs, and this one looks to be in great shape.

    Great geology in AZ

    You can find Apache Tears in the abandoned pits east of Picket Post and SW of Superior. Check Google Earth...you can't miss it. They are easy to dig up and easy to find, once you get the hang of it. On the Rim you can find large petrified shells, about golf ball size. Like mollusk or similar.

    WOW!! Beautiful buck!

    Bino harness

    +1 for Badlands. If you ride a quad or UTV, dust is a concern...get a fully enclosed unit. It is a little bulky on the chest, but not bad. I have Leica Trinovid 12x50 in mine and still have room inside for lens pen, lens cleaning pads, license, small map, etc...
  12. Awesome! That's a heap of fun!

    AC maintenance?

    So...the 3M filters are no good? I run the one in the red package. I think it's their mid-performance filter....about $10 each. What is really irritating is the markup on parts.

    very well used Eberle stock Dragonfly $120

    Man! It looks like that pack could tell some stories!

    First Lite Halstead Fleece

    Man! I can't believe this stuff hasn't sold. Great prices on great tech clothing. I have the Chama hoody and love it. I would consider buying this piece but I'm at the upper end of the medium range on the sizing chart. I think a large is better for me for layering.

    Very cool!! That is the way to do it.

    Good Deal on Sitka Gear and First lite

    First Lite is very limited on sizes.
  19. You can simulate pulling a bow with the weighted cable machine at the gym, or with the exercise rubber bands you can use at home. Work both arms or you will get lopsided....one lat bigger than the other.

    Wyoming 2016/2017

    I am still in the "buying points" phase. I bought my first point last year. I am not quite able to make the trip yet. Maybe in the next couple years.

    Spring Gardens

    I used some old cedar fencing, 3 slats high and reinforced the sideswith rebar stakes. Then filled with a sandy loam mix from Pioneer Materials....about 1/3 the cost of bag stuff from Home Depot. Just finished planting today. Tomatoe, strawberries, mellon, green beans, bell pepper, carrots, beets, sweet onion, garlic, lettuce...

    Spring Gardens

    I just finished three raised beds...6x3x12" deep. We were just talking about what we will plant today or tomorrow. Definitely tomatoes and green beans. We have been harvesting lettuce, kale, spinich, and some tomatoes most of the winter.
  24. That is an incredible buck! The others in the calendar are very nice as well. It was nice to meet you and thanks for a very well done calendar!

    Hopi Hunts

    What's the catch? Do you have to have a native guide. There's gotta be a catch or everyone would be doing it.
