I wanted to kayak all the new water spots, but worked a double that day

cook I up!

I wound up into the same problem. My buddy for a house warming gift gave me a 45# tank. The thing was awesome and massive (I get it filled about once a year and cook everything outside). I was full at the time, but it needed to be refilled. ANY propane tank is only good for 12 years past the manufactures date. It should be stamped into the valve shroud. If its expired, I took mine to Arizona propane. Alma school and McKellips (or at least thas where they used to be. google maps show the place has been raised and he building inst there anymore.) The number is 480 990 2245. They changed their location to just south of the river bottom. (call to see when they open up). I wanna say it was 15 bucks to get it inspected, and the valve replaced (part of the inspection). After that I is good for 5 years.

Weird my dentist recommends to be open to flossing! just kidding. I had heard the two stories intermixed. that because of the fires there was flooding which led to the tragedy with the scout troop. And with the tragedy, there was a pending lawsuit. So in order to curtail the lawsuit, they kept the gate closed. But don't forget the source of " brother's cousin's sister's best friend told me so its gotta be true"

back in he day, there was a jeep trail that went in from bushnell tanks and over the saddle. came out by punkin center. Heard a couple of different theories as to why the area is closed. Always see deer crossing through there when we go up outta town too late in the dark. Ive ridden my pedal bike in there once before also. Still an amazing area... (once you get past the human recklessness) good luck!

the spot we went to on Monday... I seen 2. one getting outa the truck, and one giving up and getting back in....that was 45 minutes of waiting in between. Didn't get to the spot I wanted to because had to help a friend move at 900 am. Went to a different spot on Tuesday after work. I got 3, and my buddy go 1. walking back to the truck we crossed paths with another birder and his three kids. (2 guns for everyone). they had even worse luck, so Art and I gave them the four we collected. still nice to get out and listen to the desert.

I'm willing to donate my time to help this unnamed farmer and alleviate him of his dove plight. ha ha. Where do I go sign me up???

I think at times, the staggered draw helps ease the blandness of tag soup. lol. I mean, we haven't even gone through the fall hunts and we have to get our butts in gear for javelin and spring bird. then before those hunts come around is elk. and before hose elk hunts fall bird and deer

where were those turkeys and deers exactly ShedHunterAz? ha ha ha. Just kidding. Ive go the October hunts. cant wait to get out there and stretch out the legs a little to see if we can fill tags this season

cabanas.... watch out for the pool boys

ha ha... what happened to the generous wife and soon to be baby from the original post... she kick you to the curb already?

Hey.... bull tags are hard to come by.... hopefully the wife and kid will let him stick around for a while.

oh wait.... for a elk call. thought this was backpage for a moment

hows about...just making the donation and putting the water in a dry elk tank somewhere. a desert is a desert and a drought is a drought really getting tired of the ice bucket stuff

I had started a post on the same topic previously. I too have a flat line map. There is the drawback that no all the units are available. But holy crap are flatlines amazing. I bought mine for 22n last year. Got it home and me and my nephew (6 a the time) had it opened up on the living room floor as he was helping me plan my adventures. my 60# English pointer decided it was no obstacle to him as he walked across it. And Cj growing tired of my ramblings rolled onto it so he could go back to watching tv. Those things are rugged. Can still see the paw mark from the dang'd ol' dog too. but its perfectly fine. I started he thread to see if anyone liked the hunt unit maps or another brand, but seems everyone recommended flatlines

Technically, since I have a tag for both im not allowed to say anything. . Turkey is pretty thick there. This will be our first time in there. Scouting for a previous deer trip, the actual deer trip, and just camping seems like we always could shake a few turkey loose. When the draw came out I gleaned the internet for info. One post from 2009 from one of the sights said any road at the top of the unit has turkey. Obviously its dated, but who knows. We stay in the lower half. One of the group got his deer and went to take it to payson to get processed and said tha the top half of the unit off the 260 was pretty thick with hunters. Deer, just like any game, is all hit or miss and just gotta find'em. Matty

where da heck were they when I had fall bird tags for last year! lol. I sat on a hill with my buddy during the late archery bull hunt in 22 (the mid November hunt). Trying to stay awake against a tree and be extra eyes, I noticed something small and black moving in. Whelp, sitting on the ground my first thought was... "im gonna get sprayed by a skunk". I could only see little bits of black over the down tree that was blocking my view. out come little turkey heads, sorta like "up periscope" . then they went over the log. I wound up taking pine cones to toss near them to get them to turn and change path. They came in about 20 feet from me though. It was pretty awesome thanks for sharing he video

how much to rent the dogs just to hang out at camp and give belly rubs to ha ha jk. My English pointer makes a great sleeping bag heater when its 20 degrees out

Good luck! A coworker has the same tag as you. We got the 23 turkey and mule deer tags. Never hunted in there for Whitey, but lots of good ground. I hope to get out in a scout trip mid September to go see what we can see. I will try to keep you in mind when we get back to fill you in. (Doing a combined scout hunt, to use as an excuse to camp. ha ha)

Oh man, healthcare is as screwed up as politics. "getting better" is dictated by the insurance companies. My dad was in an accident years back. ICU/coma for 4 weeks... moved to a regular floor fro a week. 5 minutes from when the doctor walked in and talked to my mom and I about the how she wanted to keep him for observation, the registration person walked in and said the insurance was moving dad to a care home for rehab. At the week 5 mark, dad's trache tube was coming out. 5 long weeks in a horrible care home, dad finally got released. 2-3 hours after getting home, the phone rings. It was a medical equipment supplier saying they missed meeting us at the care home to give us home health supplies. Super, until they showed up. 2 big boxes of supplies... most of which were for the discontinued trache tube and a suction pump for cleaning his pump. #1, dad no longer had the tube. #2 none of us were respiratory techs that were qualified to run the pump to suction his non existent trache hole. (After all, even the nurses he had weren't allowed to do the task, just the resp techs). I tried to refuse it, but the guy said "oh no, you cant.... its paid for already by the insurance". (in the end my parents found a medical mission group to donate 75%of the goods to)

Seen this article last night off of facebook. After a 12yr marriage, in the divorce the guys soon to be ex-wife left behind her wedding dress. The pictures are hilarious of how he used it in his outdoor experiences. http://guide.sportsmansguide.com/5-reasons-why-every-outdoorsman-should-own-wedding-dress/?social=facebook-guideoutdoors

screw all that. come up to visit in the valley. I kayaked the salt river about 2x a month last summer starting from may-oct. Haven't been able to go yet this year (sadness is setting in for sure). Its 11 miles from the top of the water users area down to granite reef dam. Duration all depends on who you take with. ha ha First time we did it in just under 3 hours, but the other guy was married. Done portions of it with my brother and I kept "loosing" him. think that trip was 5 hours. ha ha Earlier is better unless you want the scenery with my brother.

ive been in behind rye for javelina and have found plenty of elk track.

We had the thanksgiving hunt for 23n last year, and came home empty handed. we worked it hard all week. I stopped and talked to a few guys in the field and one guy at the gas station. Everyone said the same thing for that unit. The bulls hunker against the rim from all the pressure and don't start to move until the temperatures drop. So unless we had a helicopter,... it wasn't looking good. My brother did have a cow walk out about 15 feet in front of where he sat on a hill, but as hard as he tried to make her grow antlers, it didn't work. This year we have to sit on our hands, but wouldn't you know it, the "odd man out" in our group that had to put in solo got drawn for the late-late bull hunt. 23n has the thanksgiving hunt, and then a second hunt right after for bull then the cow hunt. excited to see how it goes as I help him out on his hunt.

Holy smokes! Thanks for the heads up. I cant wait to see this movie. was pretty disappointed wasn't going to be able to see it. gonna have to order a late bday gift for myself. I posted in the campfire about the "Hunting film tour" (http://huntingfilmtour.com/). its along the similar lines. all short independent films about the hunters perspective and insight. Its not coming to phx either, unfortunately. I tried to ask the organizers about releasing to dvd and didn't get any definite answers. Had two different guys fire back responses about hosing a tour event in the venue of my choice... I just had to rent the theater and pay 500 bucks for the film reals. lol
