CouesPursuit

I've had camp foxes but no badger, cool to see that. Based on the few I've seen in AZ, it is the only non-rabid animal I'm legitimately concerned about running into in the wrong circumstances. I had one make me move from a hammock to sleeping in my truck one night, the only other option was emptying a magazine, boulders weren't enough.

I know you didn't ask how to DIY but if it helps somebody else reading too or informs you so a bad pool guy doesn't rip you off.. Check the GFI and see if it trips. If it does, it's the fixture. If not, it's just the bulb. PRDATR gave you some of a bulb change but I've never seen 15 screws. There is a ring clamp that tightens to 8 - 10 spots based on a 7/16 bolt. Also get a gasket and make sure the lense is lightly scrubbed clean before installing it. Don't install the new bulb with a dirty/oily hand, use a shirt or glove. Note the sneaky slot in the bottom of the niche that the fixture needs to lock into during reinstall, before bringing the top and screw in. If it's the fixture, find the cord length needed with a measure from the J Box to the light, plus the 6' of cord wrapped around the light, to service the bulb. Shorter cords cost less but don't forget that servicing buffer/length. Sometimes the cord swells in the conduit, soak that old conduit line around the cord from the J Box to the pool light with Dawn soap long before the pull. When you un-tie the hot, neutral and ground in the J Box, connect those wires to a very strong line or fish tape, with the connection wrapped in electric tape. Dawn soap. Pull the old light out from the light until you get to the fish tape. Connect the fresh wires to the pulled fish tape. Pull the fish tape from the J Box until the fixture sits on the pool deck by 18-24", just enough room to service the bulb and not so much that you can't wrap the line around 6 or so times and fit it all back into the niche.

It's for the kids man..

Classic.

Pump-back exists at Mormon Flat / Canyon and Horse Mesa / Apache, not Stewart Mountain or Roosevelt. The new pumped storage reservoir is in Alchesay Canyon near Deer Hill, connecting to Apache. There will be no water lost during the Canyon Lake 50' drawdown and there is significant and much needed maintenance happening, especially at the confluence to Fish Creek, to keep pump-back efficient. I would guess the majority of outdoorsmen and women much prefer pump-back than scouring land for more solar panels, so no offense PRDATR, but it is a great time for these projects. We got through worse conditions 25 years ago. Let's hope the statistics play out that we won't get 3 bad monsoons in a row and this "super" el niño refills our reservoirs to what they were just 3 years ago.

I posted Drake on here many times, we self-trained (mostly him training me) and we hunted puddle ducks 98% of the time. I couldn't afford much for a regarded bloodline but he was incredibly birdy from the day I picked him up as a puppy. I logged ~25 days/season across the AZ and UT for 12 years until I retired him. He retrieved 2500-3000 ducks and a couple handfuls of Canada geese. Everyone that knew him loved him and he went everywhere until laryngeal paralysis set in. We got 14.5 years and our family talks about him daily. It has been almost 2 years. Got another half-trained, family Dash now but young kids and crowded waters blocked the desire to try and continue Drake's legacy. I'll try again after the kids are grown up. I could post hundreds but here are a few from 2yo - 12. I miss him.

My last coues was the stud of 15 bucks within a mile of each other, right in the mix with cattle and heavy machinery operating the day I pulled the trigger. Food, shelter, water. I wouldn't write off any habitat until you've glassed it hard. They don't move enough to not use summer intel, they just move less during the day.

I've seen roadrunners cleaning up on the golf courses. The only thing I don't like about the bird.

In a world where the gov wants chips in all vehicles, this may just be the outdoorsman's steal of the 21st century! GLWS.

Sure is nice to see someone "bump" something "up" "to the top" with actual price drops instead of re-pushing the same overpriced item(s) for pages. GLWS.

Anything is a start. It is too bad my crazy idea would never work. It will be easy for this audience to blow holes in an elevator version here, but.. Similar to how they attempted assigning special tags to bison on the north rim, assign specialized individuals (like highly competent hunters, with training, who would do it for free) infertility dart equipment to go out and non-lethally/morbidly "tag" every feral horse they can on the landscape. I'm sure government officials would be needed for risk purpose. Logistics and politics aside, the idea is to meet the horse folk in the middle, and let the existing animals live out there days but perpetually manage the herd to reduce the population to near/zero, where it needs to be. I just don't see killing them to be a realistic, viable option with such emotional public support to their existence.

Post error, GLWS Sam!

Dang, thanks, I couldn't get it to remove the hazmat.

Nice deal. Is there a promo code for the no hazmat over 150? Thanks.

I don't see many, if any "liberal whimps" in this conservation. Curious, who are you directing this insult at, specifically?
