In retrospect the only glitch I have ever had was a paper application filled out incorrectly years ago. I guess there are potential problems no matter what you do.

I think UofAcat hit the nail on the head. It is both a bank problem and a G&F problem. I am going to apply with paper this year as well, too many horror stories. Colorado hits your card for the entire amount and then sends a check after the draw. A lot of way's it can be done better than the current plan.

I can't believe you got 5000 miles out of a set of tires. I was on my 3rd set when I hit 6500 on my last quad

Wacky

What are the rules regarding tires for ATV's in AZ? If you have a road legal ATV and are driving city streets are the cop's going to check if you have a DOT stamp on your tires even though you are only going 35 MPH? My road driving will be mostly limited to short trips en route to the woods. Any insight appreciated.

I'm resurrecting this old thread because I am now actively looking for tires for my Rhino. I currently have 26 inch tires on 14 inch rims and have been happy with the performance. My question is for you guy's with Rhino's. I would like to know if anyone is running 27 inch tires and if there are any issues with clearance? Apparently there are not a lot of choices with 14 inch rims and 26 inch tires.

I've been up there a couple of times. DIY fishing is pretty limited in my experience. Anywhere there is fish that you can drive to will be wall to wall people. The best experiences up there are with guides and boats and airplanes and like Green Bullet said $350 to $500 per day per person. Much better budget options in the lower 48. I had a friend that used to go up there on a regular basis to fly fish but they would fly to some remote place and stay in a lodge for 5-7 days and spend like $5000 each

Good deal bump

Nice

Did you do a trust or individual? Individual

Hunting regulations are state regulated. I have been waiting for one for 6 months and was told they average between 6 to 12 months

Too funny. My first semi custom didn't shoot any better than the original rifle. Buy once cry once

I doubt .75 is going to account for all you are describing, but every little thing helps. You are on the right track, lots of good suggestions here.

Make a map of the cables during construction and don't drill there

Well, like usual Lance pretty much covered all the bases Since a pro didn't mount your scope I would look there first. #1 for me would be reticle in scope not true vertical. If you are going to make it a long range gun consider doing your zeroing at 300 yards. It will help compensate for a lot of errors and you won't normally be more than an inch off on lesser yardages.

I have been in both positions many times. To have the expectation that because you are there first you somehow own a certain square mileage of a mountain or canyon is absurd. Public land is just that ...public. If I walk 30 minutes or more up to a place and find someone there I am not turning around and going to another spot (sorry big browns). If you do this you just pretty much burned a morning. I usually try to talk to them and if they are friendly try to work something out giving them the preference for being there ahead of me. If they are unfriendly I move away and hunt wherever I want without consulting them.

I helped a buddy take one a long way's in on Saturday. It took 2 full day's to get everything out. Fortunately we got some help and were able to get the meat out on the first day. we came prepared with a sheet of plastic and plenty of game bags. The extra 15 to 20 pounds of bone would have been a deal breaker for us (old guy's ) The terrain was terrible and would have been unpleasant carrying an empty pack. The butcher we use at first refused to even take it, but my friend convinced him with some sweet talking. I have no problem paying a butcher extra for this service. They are used taking in meat on the bone that gets tossed out but you pay for when you weigh it in. There is a lot more trimming involved and quite a bit more loss due to trimming. I think many people do not realize this and express angst with there butcher that can lead to hard feelings. Being able to get the meat off the mountain and into a reputable meat cutters cooler is worth it's weight in gold. Just my 2 cents worth.

The smoke was awful Dennis

I'm on the 5th and last firing of my Rem cases (300 WM). I noticed this last go around many of the primer pockets have become sloppy. Not one single failure so far on this batch of brass.

I have had to do this a number of times. When you take an animal and you are a mile or more from a road there is no point in hauling out bone unless you have a need for it. Lot's of game bags is a must. Like others have said pillow cases work great. In my opinion multiple small bags are easier to cool and easier to handle. When you are taking the animal apart you can hang bags you are finished with in the shade while continuing to work. I have no secret tips on the cut's of meat. The larger you can cut the pieces the less waste and trim you will have.

Yeah, I don't need one that has a hole that size but thanks Brian

The dropping temps have prompted me to think about putting a windshield on my Rhino. What are you guy's using that have one and why?

What brand on the windshields? Where did you purchase?

I easily get 1200 hands free. Lean against something to steady it for longer ranges, I usually use a tripod.
