  1. Keep looking and don't get frustrated. Find somebody with the PE stamp, working out of their house with no overhead. I'm in Tucson and probably of no help, but the last one I did, about a year ago...I beat the pavement soliciting proposals and got a huge range of prices. The guy I used was 20% of the cost of the highest bid. In this market, people are just slinging prices to see what sticks.


  2. I was just thinking about buying some bear spray. For the tweekers or whoever keep breaking into my camper. I pray I catch them in the act one of these times.

     

    I always keep a spray-paint sized canister in the door of my truck for this same reason. Less-lethal and waaay better than mace.


  3. Now that the Memorial Weekend Zoo is over...I'm gettin the heck out of here and heading to Big Lake!

     

    I usually go in mid-May, and we alway slay 'em then, but it always slows way down later into July.

     

    Anyone up last couple weekends? Any reports, info, advice, and discussion are welcome!


  4. If the previous commentary is even remotely accurate, then I'm a birdwatcher, photographer, etc.... I'll keep them up all year and simply remove them immediately before the hunt. No cameras during the hunt....it's just photography and birdwatching until day #1 of the hunt. Good luck proving that one. This is stupid crap that cannot be enforced.


  5. I'll need to try this one.

     

    I normally brine and smoke them whole. After it's been on the smoker for a while and is half cooked but still holding together, I reach in and snip the spine at the neck and tail with fingernail scissors and pull the spine out whole. Works pretty well.
