That's too bad. Tag soup for us too.....

She has to be the one to get the duplicate tag. Definitely any license dealer has the ability to give her a duplicate tag. We had to get one at the store in Clints Well one year.

Once again, the Cats rely on their kicking game to determine the game's outcome. Luckily it worked out in their favor. Not sure if they can win a Pac 12 Championship if their kicker has to score more than half of their points to win a game. Glad Skowron kept the faith.

Great camp site and even a better deer - congrats.

Nice job. Great hunt.

No, not a legit way to hunt. Nor is it ethical.

Looks like I need to replace the radiator on my 1994 Toyota truck. Are there any tricks? It looks pretty basic - drain the fluid, take off the fan shroud, disconnect the hoses, undue four bolts on the radiator. I've done quite a bit of work on my toyota, jeep and blazer, but never had to replace a radiator. I thought about trying to repair it. It has a very tiny hole. Actually, the only reason I know it is leaking is because I saw the discoloration in the top of the radiator and smelt coolant. You can see from the picture, there is some paint that has been worn off from the fluid. But, this was weeks ago and I took a trip up north and did not loose any fluid and there was no increase in the temperature. But, I hate to have it get worse on the deer hunt in 2 weeks. So, it can't be leaking much. I talked to a welder who said i would have to solder it and it may not hold. He also advised against using JB weld. Should I just replace it or try to patch it somehow. Thanks for any advice you guys have.

Great moose. What great luck to be able to drive your truck to it. I packed a moose out and it is alot of work. But, every time I ate a steak, roast or burger it made that hike out so much better. Lots of nice meat - enjoy!

46 Male 2 Photo radar About 15 mph over the posted limit Threw them both away. Maybe $100 or $150

34B - Four or five different hunts - saw groups of illegals on three of the hunts. One group of 10 behind my camp when I was alone, 5 males and 5 females being led by 2 coyotes w/ weapons. I watched them until dark. They went up over a saddle and the next day I went to check it out and found a full camp w/ a shelter, water, food. Other times groups were moving through the mountains. 36A - At least 5 hunts - saw illegals twice. But, I will have to say this is by far the dirtiest unit I have hunted. Trash and clothes in almost every wash. The most interesting find were some caves that were used by illegals. There were ocotillo branches piled up at each entrance. The branches were likely to hind them from choppers or maybe to keep lions out? I have had more than one hunt ruined by choppers flying low to get a better look at us. Way too much border patrol activity, but it is needed. 33 and 32 - Maybe 10 hunts - have not seen illegals yet. Very little trash. 36B - 5 or 6 hunts - have not seen illegals. But I haven't hunted this unit in over 15 years. 36C - 3 hunts - no illegals during the day. But alot of traffic at night. Voices, people walking. Never felt comfortable there. Haven't hunted there in over 15 years. 35B - Three hunts - Tons of trash and illegals. Lots of automatic gun fire. I won't go back 30A - A few hunts in the 80s - Saw illegals everytime. They were always running away from us. Lots of drop camps with tons of supplies. Way back then, we never felt threatened or thought much of it. I liked this unit, but it was a long drive. 34A - Maybe 8 hunts - A few illegals here and there on almost every hunt. Over the years we have seen alot of illegals moving around, but have never had anything stolen or any personal encounters. I have the early November hunt this year in 34A w/ my daughter and dad. Three generations of hunters! My dad is almost 80. I haven't hunted this unit in about 10 years. Boy has it changed! Seems like a lot more illegal activity. I am a bit concerned having my 16 years old daughter down there. I am still trying to figure out a somewhat safe place to camp - any suggestions???

Thanks for the comments everyone. If I try to fix it, I will use some type of application to the outside of the radiator. I never liked the idea of adding stuff to the inside of anything to stop a leak. Even though I have. I may end up getting a new one, but it is hard to find one without plastic.

Years ago, I use to shoot both 100 grain Remington and Federals out of my .243. I am pretty sure both rounds shot the same or else I wouldn't have used both brands. Now a days, I stick with one brand of ammo because they all seem to fly different. But, you may get lucky and Federal may shoot the same as Remington. It has been alot of years since I owned a box of federals. I'm not even sure if they still sell 100 grain Federals. Hornady shoots much different than Corelokt out of my BDL .270.

So great! Congratulations to the young hunters and to you.

Great story about a calf being rescued from a wallow........... http://rmefblog.blogspot.com/2013/10/integrity-shines-through-young-ethical.html

What a great way to spend a birthday. And a nice buck too.

So great. Congratulations to him!

Tonight I made some burgers from some of the best meat I have ever had the privilege of eating - Muskox. My friend brought some down to me a few months ago. No pictures, it did not last too long. I also cooked up some elk burgers to compare and the muskox was every bit as good, maybe better. Neither my friend nor I add fat to our ground meat. Right now I have elk, deer, moose and muskox in my freezer and I would say muskox may be better than the rest. If you ever get the chance to have muskox you will see what I mean.

Last comment from me on this one....... In my mind, this post has gotten a little out of hand and I don't want to add any more fuel to the fire. Right now Casey is dealing with some bigger issues, He and his family are being threatened by idiot fans. Is one game really a reason to threaten a kid with violence and death? I hope none of you think so. Like others have said, it is a young team - many of these guys are 18 and 19 years old. They will all get past this loss and improve. But, no one has the right to threaten a kid because he missed a few field goals. The fan violence associated with sports is an embarrassment at every level - both physical violence and verbal harassment. Bonecollector 777 - I never said I coached Casey. And I don't go around taking credit for making an athlete good or getting him a scholarship or getting him accepted to the college of his choice. I clearly said that there are 11 players on the field and to blame one player is a cop out. Read between the lines - this means it is a team effort by all, including coaches. az shooter - I am far from pampering the kid. Obviously he will recover.I was merely pointing out the other miscues of the game. Is supporting someone pampering? Shooter McGavin - The number one kicker in the country is 14 of 19. Casey is 13 of 18......I guess they both suck and should not be playing football because they have missed. When I grew up the team philosophy was - we win as a team and we lose as a team. When I coached, we had the same philosophy.

Is the kicker your best friend or something? You're going all out on defending him and it'd crazy. Bottom line is he missed 3 field goals last night. Did you really say he is one of the best kickers in the nation right now? Haha get real. . Whether other guys screwed up early in the game or not you're man crush missed when it counted most. And missed BAD. I'm not a kicker and I could miss that bad if Arizona wants to get me a scholarship. Arizona wasn't a top 10 team and never belonged at 10 anyway. Ha, ha....I was waiting for some type of comment like this. I've know the kid since he was young. As a former kicker and coach, I guess I can see the big picture. Not to mention, I have had many students move on to play college ball. I guess I take it a little personal when people jump on athletes for making mistakes, especially if they have never been in their shoes.

......and I watched the game on TV. Look at the reply, he was hit in the foot by a USC player. If a call was made you would be cheering. If the offense had converted, he wouldn't have had to make 5 field goal attempts. Any coach would rather have 7 than 3. What's BS is that the Cats defensive didn't show up until the 4th quarter and Solomon over threw multiple receivers. Kickers get all the blame, but last I checked there are 11 guys on the field. It is easy to blame one player, but that is just a cop out.

You guys are crazy to blame Casey (UAs kicker) for this loss. I know Casey very well and he is one of the better kickers in the nation right now. If he did not have a successful onside kick (2nd this season), UA would not have even had a chance. He actually has kept UA in most games this year. The Cats could not convert in the red zone. How about the fumble on the 2 yard line? Not sure Casey had anything to do with that. How about how crappy the defense played? I don't think Casey is a defensive lineman or a safety ( I know one of the kids playing safety so I won't bad mouth him) The 1st field goal he missed was a 48 yarder, by no means a gimme. His long is 49. How about the bad call on the 2 point conversion - trying to run up the middle - joke, given the fact they couldn't do it all night. Maybe the coaches should have tried to get the ball closer on the last series to give Casey an easier attempt. Not sure if it was his fault the other field goal was blocked, it is kind of hard to be an offensive lineman and a kicker at the same time. With the way UA played, they were very lucky to even come this close......

The safest thing would be for him to skip the draw and wait and get a leftover with you. Then you both get a rifle tag in the same unit after the draw.

Great deer. Congrats to your son.

Traditional style - Thompson Center Renegade 50 cal. No scope. Great shooting gun, very accurate and comfortable.

Just seeing if anyone has fished Willow Springs or Woods Canyon lately. I'm going up to do some scouting for turkey and thought I would take the kids fishing. Anyone hear of any reports and what they might be biting on.....Thanks!
