  1. A family member has one that her husband started to restore before he passed away. I believe it has all or most of the original parts and the body looks to be in good condition. She wants to sell it but has no idea where to start. Update - I sent out some pictures to people who had asked for them, but adding them here as well.
  2. I really appreciate all the feedback you guys have given. At the end of the day, I'm just trying to help my mother-in-law get a fair price.

    Hunting w/ Epi-Pen

    My oldest son is very allergic to bee stings. Ants make him swell up like crazy. We carry an epi-pen wherever we go - along with a full on first aid kit.

    I bought this e-caller for around $600 a couple years back with the idea of getting out more in the off-season. It's barely been used and is pre-programmed with the southwest calls for fox, bobcat, coyote, lion and some turkey sounds. I just don't use it as much as I thought I would and figured I'd put it up here. No idea what the right price is - maybe $475 Edit - might trade for glock or sig in 9mm, 40 sw or .45, rifle scope or range finder of similar value.

    $450 including shipping. Funding a new rifle build.
  8. The numbers are all over the place. I've seen fully restored models for 10-12K on craigslist and buckets of rust for 5k. Muley224 has it way lower and Lark is saying there's only a handful of uncut 90 year old T's left. I'm thinking this one is probably in the 7-8K range. When the big car show comes to town, I think she can get that. Any thoughts?

    Youth Turkey 2-'fer

    Spent the weekend hunting turkey with the boys. This youth OTC hunt is one of, if not the best programs AZGFD does for kids. We didn't make it to the youth camp up by Reservation Lake but it was great to see the kids out there. Opening morning it was 16 degrees at camp, as low as 13 on our drive to our first setup. The first morning it was just Josh (my youngest) and I since Nick had a baseball game. We had gobblers all around us opening morning - so close we had to back out and get ahead of them. After a couple unsuccessful setups, Josh got it done around 7:30. He's now 3 for 3 on opening day toms. We drove around a bit and had to go to town to pick up a generator since mine died but took some pix along the way. Friday night, after Nick's game Carrie brought the older boys out to camp. Nick and I got up at 3:30 and set up on a spot Josh and I had several strutting birds the first morning but couldn't get in on. The birds came in, but just hens - one with a beard that Nick opted not to take. We kept moving and calling. We got close several times - had gobblers get right to us just out of range. Finally about 7:45 it came together and Nick put one down around 35 yards out. This morning we all slept in and had some deer run through camp.

    Camping Tent

    Wish you were closer, I have a couple I'd give you. These are great tents and still do about anything you need of them. I slept in one last year in 13A in sub-zero temps and was comfortable the whole time. If you buy new, it's a little more money but I'd recommend the Kodiak canvas tent.
  16. Please don't take this the wrong way. I don't think youth hunters are as inspired by accomplished names in the industry nearly as much as they are by watching their dads, uncles, aunts and grandparents. Little boys tend to grow up wanting to be like their dad, uncle, cousin or older brother. I don't have any daughters, but I've seen how they want the same - they look up mom and dad and extended family and think - this is who "we are". The kids get it when they are in camp with family and get a sense of shared values. No program by AZGFD or celebrity can do that. I applaud anyone out there volunteering their time to help get kids involved. But most of it has to start at home, in my humble opinion.

    Ground Elk Recipes

    Not so much a recipe, but I like to take one of those 5 pound packs of bacon ends (leftover smoked pork belly from making bacon) and grind it in with lean elk. About 2/3 elk and 1/3 bacon ends. Best burger you ever tasted.

    Bump.
  22. Only put in for one deer tag this year - youth 23 for my youngest. BPs, leftovers and archery for the rest of us. So far we have an archery antelope hunt in NM (me), early archery bull unit 1 (my oldest), unit 1 cow (youngest), and 2 unit 24 NM (Ft. Bayard) late youth deer tags. Gonna be fun to fit it all in. Hoping for leftovers in 32 or 29.
