    4B OTC elk

    A very popular hunt for guides. They took quite a few elk last year.

    Long Range Pig

    Heck of a shot. I have shot a friends Savage and it def has some kick and is very accurate. That should still be over 1600 fps at that distance.

    So how much of a pig do you take?

    Gutless for sure. I have done both. It just depends on how far I am from camp, time of day etc but now that I'm in my 70's I find it easier to pack out 15# of meat than a gutted Javi. Back in the early 90's I shot a Mule Deer in New River just below Table Mesa, maybe 50' from the top shooting from the flats below. I was hunting solo and packed out three quarters, loins, neck meat and the head in one trip about a mile back to camp and that was tough. I was in my early 40's and in top shape. A few years later on a late hunt in 29 I shot a 3x3 WT maybe a mile from camp but I was 1500' above it. I decided then that I wasn't taking any bones and boned the whole thing out and decided I had enough meat and there wasn't anything in the cavity I wanted. My first gutless method long before anyone coined it. I also did a Bear and a Caribou the same way way back then. The Doc hasn't given me the long face yet but I'm not fooling myself and hope I have another ten or so years left of big game hunting.
  5. You need more than one? Any commercially loaded ammo is $$-$$$. @ $6 a round compared to the cost of gas to go scouting, gas, food etc to go hunting it seems like a bargin,,,, but if you can find other less expensive shells than gobble them up. "If" that is what the OP is going to do with them. TSS is nothing new and has been around for a long time. Read up on it, tight patterns, retained weight which equals to extended range over lead ammo. Practice with anything but then go pattern with one or two shells. "if you are lucky,,,, a hunter "may" get to squeeze the trigger, be successful and have a couple of rounds left for the fall hunt.

    Danner Quarry GTX work boots

    Great Boot. I have a pair but in 8" I bought about 3 or 4r years ago but use them primarily for hunting. Wore them today hunting for Javelina. That is a very good deal on them.

    Too fun!

    Yes Sunrise was awesome. We have had a few really nice ones this week.

    Too fun!

    Congrats that's a nice one. Doves and Javelina are my two favorite things to hunt. I hunted east of Tonto Basin until noon. Hiked in about 1/2 a mile off a two track and spent all morning glassing from one hill. Glassed up three Ravens, a Red-Shouldered Hawk and a Kestrel. I heard some shots way off in the distance a few times but it was a slow, cool, cloudy morning. I did see quite a few people in camo driving endlessly around on the two tracks in SXS's and one guy in Blaze Orange driving what looked to be a smaller Red SUV, at least he was in style and comfort. It might have been an EV as it was very quiet.

  19. Looking for a place in the East Valley to replace/repair the part of the boat where the drain plug goes into the hull on a 14' boat.

    Aluminum Boat Drain Plug Repair Needed.

    Thanks. We usually keep it in Pine but just brought it back to the valley to go bass fishing. I think this is a common issue mostly due to the battery moving around.

    Alignment shops on the east side of town?

    Network Alignment in Downtown Mesa. They have been doing my trucks for 30 years and stand behind their work.
