2.5 pounds is on the light side for a hunting rig.

Big Medicine.

That pond is loaded with Gila Top Minnows.

Yeah Buddy. Blue Gills in WCL

I have seen a few Bass in there and last year there were schools of 1-2" bluegill.

I guess you haven't see this. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1053810/

They do pretty well in ponds too. I netted a bunch of green ones with a seine in the lower salt river back around 2002. Maybe Petco or Petsmart will take them or you can offer them up on the Arizona Tropical Fish Hobbyists Facebook Page.

^^^ That's a young Boatailed Grackle. Females stay that shade of brown.

Black-throated Gray Warbler? Beak looks more like a finch though.

Great news indeed.

Not sure when this hunt is but I have hunted 6A twice in late November and we had rough weather for a few days both time which made the roads pretty soupy. One year we had two days straight of thunderstorms which brought rain and snow and fog lowering visibility to 50 yards.

I can see the Caitlin Jenner commercial. "I don't always drink Corona, but when I do I drink Corona Light". Stay thirsty my friends.

That's just wrong. LOL

I've spent some time camping in Honeymoon and got to talk a to younger kid who was working on 4Drag a few years ago and told me he had a firearm stolen from his vehicle and said he was pretty sure that it was the work of a couple of guys he knew that were always up to no good. Sad to thing even out there people can't be trusted.

The Inflation Calculator I found online came up with $11.83 http://www.usinflationcalculator.com/

I had one and shot it for a few years. Accurate and never had a problem with it. I gifted it to my son when he told me he was looking to buy a nine since I had recently put a nine barrel in my G22 and shot it more than the Sig.

If I were to Captain a boat the mates and cook would never be allowed to pick up a pole.

You can but since the NFS came out with the maps it puts the onus back on our shoulders to know which roads are closed. Big PIA I admit but there it is. It does kinda stink when I see others on those roads.

I think about 10 years ago.

ThomC, It will shoot just fine considering that most AR15's have a 16" barrel and the powder used is fast burning and about 25gr. The 1:8" twist may be a bit fast for bullets weighing 50gr and lighter. Talk to some of the guys in the Predator Forum who use AR's and see what they have been getting the best results with. IIRC Casey hunts with one.

I upgraded a few years ago from a Garmin 12XL I had for what seems like decades to a Garmin 60 and was pretty happy with the new one. For one the batteries seem to last forever and it locks onto the satellites very quick, under 10 seconds if I am using it on and off during the day. I downloaded a free AZ Map but there are better ones out there. I use google earth but I don't know about transferring stuff between the two but I have fat fingered in a few locations. Down side is the size of the screen and that it isn't a touch screen.

I'd stop using the Rem Oil and switch to another type of protectorant like Frog Lube, WD-40 Specialist Long Term Corrozion Inhibiter or Eezox.

Congrats.

Murph, Problem with those old cars is the points and plugs darn near needed to be changed every 10 -15 thousand miles. Of course it only took a dwell meter and bout an hour on most vehicles and a 10 spot. Unless you had a car that had dual points. Course the fumes would kill ya, hate driving behind one of those old carbureated beasts although I did see a nice 67 Chevelle, all black paint, today on my way home. Probably could shave in the reflection of that paint. Sure would like a 390 to stuff in a green 68 2+2.

Glad your son was OK. Getting wet when it is chilly out isn't any fun. Short Story, a few years ago my son and I were fishing the spillway at Woods Canyon Lake when a couple drove their boat up to the shore to call it quits for the day. It was chilly out and getting close to sundown and it was obvious they had been drinking a bit. She steps out onto a rock and looses her balance and goes down getting submerged up to her chest. She wobbles up droaning on how cold it is with a few OMG's and choice cuss words, meanwhile the guy is just sitting in the back of the boat. My son and I are just looking at each other not saying a word. She takes a few steps and slips and goes darn near in again up to her eyebrows. She stands up OMGing about how cold it is walking away very slowly stiff as a board. We had all we could do to keep from laughing but at least she appeared to not have been hurt. I mention something to my son about the guy probably sleeping alone tonight. They were camped not to far from us in the Spillway Campground and when we drove past them and the other couple they were with in the morning nobody was talking as they were packing up to go.
