    Thanks!  No I never did.  I’ll maybe try to write one this summer and post it before hunting season kicks off again.  I drew a rocky bighorn tag in CO, UT mtn goat, MT breaks rifle elk, AZ late rifle elk, and that AZ desert tag so I had a pretty wild fall last year.  

    You can find a couple of these stories in Epic magazine. I really enjoyed reading them. Awesome stuff man.

    I called Wells Fargo today. They did not show back up but Wells Fargo took the blame for that. The charges are there, for whatever reason the website is just not listing them. This is the case for a payment made as well so definitely a WF thing not AZGFD thing. Hope that eases your nerves some, I would be a wreck, LOL!

    Thanks for the reply. I called WF also and they said the same thing. Supposedly the charges are there and posted but not showing anywhere online. WF is killing me. Still going to be nervous until the tag shows up in the mail!. Thanks again

    I went back and actually "did the math" and it appears as though the pending charge that dropped off is not available in my available credit. Neither is the pending charge that is still there, so by the numbers it looks like a $45 hit is now a charge and there is a $45 pending charge still. Weird that it is not on the list of charges on my account. Probably will show up Monday.

    Following up on this @Heat. Curious if your charges posted today?

    Im in the same boat. I had a sheep charge last week and it disappeared on Saturday.

    Looking to buy a few cords. Looking for juniper as a first preference, but open to others (oak, pecan, etc). Trying to find an alternative to the big wood lots.
     

    Please let me know if you, or anyone you know has some for sale. 
     

    Based in the valley but willing to travel for pickup based on amount and price. Thank you

    Short Answer: Stone Glacier and Kuiu

    Long Answer:
    Ive not run the Kifaru bags but will offer a review of a few others based my experience. I have bought and hunted with several models of Eberlestock, Outdoorsmans, Stone Glacier. 

    I have been using the Stone Glacier (SG) Sky T 6900 for several years and really like the pack. It makes 75 lbs. feel like 40. Eberlestock and Outdoorsmans made 75 lbs feel like 100. 

    Outdoorsmans packs are bullet proof. Drop it off a cliff and watch it float down a river and youll find it in one piece. But comfort and customer service made me switch.

    Eberlestock packs are good packs. The other member review here is a good one. They are just heavy. They felt good at home in the garage but 300 yards from the truck I was wishing I could drop weight. They have some of the best lumbar support of packs on the market and that can be important for some guys based on back conditions and fit.

    If I were to buy a new pack tomorrow Id go Kuiu. 

    In the earlier years I was not a fan of the Kuiu packs. Some of that was me being recalcitrant to the Kuiu hype. Last year I bought my Dad (60 yrs old) a Kuiu pro system with two interchangeable bags off the same frame (which most manufacturers do now). My Dad has used Eberlestock for 10 plus years until this season. My Dad has a torn meniscus in his knee. He packed out 2 mulie quarters at the same time in his new Kuiu and said he could easily take more with no pain on the knee. I carried his pack under a meat load on the pack out to get a feel. It was great. Add Kuiu pro packs to the list of bags that make 75 lbs feel like 40. 

    What I really like about the Kuiu bags are the amount of built in storage pockets (different than SG where I have to add pockets inside bags) and the extremely well thought out strap design. If you have ever messed with a SG bag youll know that there are more straps and buckles than a Friday night rodeo. It took me 90 seconds to break my Dads bag down, load quarters in the meat shelf and put the bag back together. The design is well thought out. It took me 15 minutes to do the same on my SG. 

    Good luck with your purchase. A top end pack is worth its weight in gold when you are tired and trying to hump meat out of a canyon at 7 oclock at night.

    Post Script: Ive hiked out meat out with  good friends running Mystery Ranch (i.e Pinter, etc) and they love those bags. I dont think you can go wrong with any of the top brands (SG, Mystery, Kuiu, Kifaru). Fit feel and design  (just like boots) is what it should come down to based on your personal preferences.
