Merry Christmas! Its been a long time, but I've always appreciated your help on here and around town!

Absolutely. Let's wait until the call is ready, though. I'm trying to teach him good business practices, but to be fair. He needs to get the work done and ready to go.

I'll 2nd that. Tevis is a good friend of mine and asked me at lunch a while back if I knew anything about Todd Rice/Sonoran Outfitters because he was taking a case and likely seeking legal action. I have 100000% confidence working with Tevis. He hunts & is part of our Hunter Ed Instructor Team up here. Solid guy!

Jacob and I had a chance to sit down and talk this weekend after doing some market research. He's starting out at $40 for a turkey call. Flies range start at $1/each and go up depending on complexity of the fly and discounts apply for more flies/order. He just tied my favorite dry fly for the San Juan River, a #10 Griffith's gnat, known locally on the San Juan as a "Dead Chicken". He needs to update a couple of posts because they are before our pricing discussions. $0.50 is WAY too low for a Royal Wulff and his RWs are one of my top go-to dry flies in AZ. I'll get a pic of the Dead Chicken for here, but check out his Instagram Page: wooldridge_calls https://www.instagram.com/wooldridge_calls/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==

My son's and my daughter's 7-08s both shoot 5 different powder charges with Barnes 140gr TTSX. One prefers IMR 4064 and the other prefers IMR4895

Awesome! I'll let him know after his basketball game tonight. You can message me with any particular wood, calling surface, and design you want. My personal favorite is Bocote wood with slate over glass. I also have curly maple with frosted glass, walnut with slate, and copper over glass, but I don't remember the wood.

Weekend bump for Christmas shopping.

My son and I found an optical device in Unit 33 this past weekend. If you can tell me what type, brand, and roughly where you were, I'll gladly mail it back you to you.

Wrong brand. Good luck, though!

Wrong brand and wrong area. Good luck, though!

This one is for smart people.... I try hard to do the right thing, hoping if I ever end up in this situation, someone will do the same.

Bump for a holiday rifle sale!

Bump back up. Still trying to find original owner

My son drew the late youth hunt in 33. Opening day was the Friday after Thanksgiving. We made a family plan to head down Wednesday, picking up our daughter up at UofA, and have a family camping trip followed by a deer hunt. Our good friend, Christian, drove down Thursday night to help out. He's like a little brother to me and a great mentor/role model for Jacob. Our daughter even asked me to throw her hunting gear in so she could help glass Friday before heading back to UofA to study Saturday. We glassed up a couple dozen does, a handful of spikes and forks, and a few 70s bucks Friday. We got chased out by rain Saturday morning, right as we found a buck Jacob liked. We watched the bucks bed down, so we went back to camp to wait out the storm. The rain let up a few hours later and we were back out glassing, quickly relocating the bucks from Saturday morning. I was sore from a steep, rugged hike the day before, so Jacob and Christian put a plan in place to stalk up into the steep area they were and I stayed back to glass and talk them in. Something in the canyon bottom spooked the deer as they were setting up and two deer turned into about 9 running all over. By the time they settled down, the objective buck was nowhere to be seen; however, this young fork presented a perfect broadside shot at 248 yards. As was told to me, Jacob said "I didn't hike all they up this $h!t to not shoot something!" Good for him! He ended up packing it all the way down the ridge and up and down the next three ridges. He earned every bit of this young buck, but now he says he's holding out for 80s or bigger moving forward. Again, good for him! 248 yards is officially his shortest shot at a non-javelina or turkey game animal. I'm super proud of his determination and grit.

As they were hiking back to me and the Pioneer, they jumped a 95ish buck 150 yards from where we were glassing. It jumped up 50 yards from them, so he got a good look. It was bedded on the opposite-facing hillside right below us the whole time!
