    The tags go from 8/15 to 8/14 of the following year.  There are 2 auction tags and 1 raffle each year.  With last year's growth being so bad none of the tag holders for 2018-2019 had killed until the last few weeks. The 2019-2020 tags start in a couple weeks so we'll likely see a few more monsters hit the dirt

    "Gotta go to work tomorrow"

    Life doesn't stop even when losers get in the way.  Unfortunately there are too many people who choose to be losers rather than chase the American dream like this guy.  Good for him and a great interview showing how level headed people are gun owners who can make quick decisions in the heat of the moment.

    I'm trying to plan a short backpacking trip with my boys and am thinking of heading down the Samaniego Ridge Trail up on Mt Lemmon.  I'm curious if anyone here is familiar with that trail and knows if Shovel Spring and Walnut Spring are reliable water.  Planning on hiking to Walnut Spring to spend the night and then back out the next day.

    Thanks in advance!

    LOL even when UA loses their fans can’t help but flap their gums. 

    Nice W for the devils.

    And how is that different than ASU (or any other team) fans?  Just go back in this thread to see ASU fans flapping their gums after losses.

    If you have meat at WGP in Tucson, go pick it up and don't delay.  I haven't been able to drop my elk off and they are turning away others because people are slow to pick up.  I'm not aware of any other good options in Tucson so I have my second fridge crammed full of boned elk meat.

    In more northern states the deer and elk are much more stressed from winter and pressure can be detrimental.  Our animals in AZ live a pretty leisurely winter and are able to recover just fine, so pressure isn't that big a deal.  Pressure in the fall is way worse with the absurd number of tags given out.

    The market is what it is.  

    At the moment, Civil PE’s aren’t likely cheap, starving, or even a little hungry.... nor will be home building contractors or labor.  

    The amount of work required for a PE doesn’t matter.  The amount of time to do what you want done vs. other billable hours is what matters.  

    I’ll translate for you....  a silly high price means “go away, you’re not worth my time”.  

    As a side note, selection or offerance of professional civil engineering services based on price isn’t legal, last time I checked.  

    Good luck.  

    Most of what is said here is spot on, except for the last part.  If it is a publicly funded project then the engineer is selected based on qualifications, not price.  If it's your money you can do whatever you want with it.

    Not all civil engineers or architects are know it alls, I certainly don't think I know everything.

    Make sure you get a PE, every single one registered in the state can be looked up on the state board of technical registration website.

    Make sure they know the permit process for your jurisdiction.

    Most good engineers are slammed right now so you will likely spend a premium.

     

    Good luck!

    I think the 12x vs 15x comparison depends on use.  I have extensively reviewed both side by side as I own the 15hd and my brother in law owns the 12el.  The 12s are slightly brighter and clearer but there is a difference in magnification that my bro in law and I both agreed is noticable when looking for details, and not just at long range, we noticed it at closer ranges too.

    If you plan to continue to use your 10s and don't mind carrying both, get the 15x.  If you want to carry only one pair and are willing to retire the 10s, get the 12s.

    I plan to buy the 12s at some point in the future and will use my 10el, 12el, and 15slc hd all depending on the situation.

    As of right now they have a calculated 76.3% chance of making the tournament. If they lose 5 in the second half of conference play, as they did in the first half, their chances drop to 11%.

     

    PAC 12 will likely only get 3 teams in, right now ASU is the second highest rated rpi at #42.

    ASU has their work cut out for them. Currently 4-5 in conference. Let's say they go 5-4 down the stretch to finish 9-9. I don't see a 9-9 ASU team making it this year unless they do really well in the conference tourney. If they go 6-3 to finish 10-8 they might have a little more wiggle room in the conference tourney. Tonight's game at Washington could be a turning point. Lose tonight and it will be hard to recover from a 4-6 start. Win tonight to get back to 5-5 and that 10-8 record starts to look more feasible.

    The computer might give them a 76% chance but I don't see the committee giving a 5th or 6th place pac12 team a bid even with their non-conference resume.
