IA Born

They are supposed to be called the moment they are drawn. I know my brother-in-law was drawn on one of the later-in-the-night drawings and got called the next day. If you want to PM me his info, I can call the RD doing the drawings. He should be able to walk into Sportsman's Warehouse and get it squared up. I think any of the Sportsman's will work, but I can find out when you send me his name.

That was me, although technically it was a maroon Dodge. All that mud must have made it look gray! If that was you in the UTVs, thanks for the tip on the roads ahead. Going back the way we came would have SUCKED! IA Born...."YOU GOT A HEMI IN THAT'? That was awesome! You made my day with that one! If you guys have the early rifle hunt, stay in touch. I'll share scouting info with you from my early archery hunt! I've got a camera not far from where we met up.

Not sure if that was you and your party in two UTVs we ran into today on the 530 Rd, but man it was MESSY out there this morning! That's the most I've had to use 4-Low since I've lived in Arizona!

Happy birthday, Mike! Hope you have a great one!

Its my back yard. Will be out there putting up my camera at some point this weekend!

Wow. That could sway my decision if I actually get around to getting a new truck in the near future.

Back in February, we purchased my buddy's quad from him. Its a 2008 Kawasaki Brute Force 650. While I've been known to ride quads for work and such in other states, this is my first time actually owning one. Long story short, he bought it brand new in Colorado, then moved to Utah (both of which have[had] COMPLETELY different laws than AZ) and just today, I was able to get it titled and registered to be street legal in Arizona. To actually be able to drive it now on "streets or highways", etc., I have to get the mirror(s) and horn, which I don't see as a big deal, and the license plate light. The license plate light is my bigger question. How has everyone else dealt with the license plate light requirement? I've done a quick search for license plate brackets and those seem easy and cheap, but I'm not seeing an easy solution to the license plate light issue, unless I'm missing something, which is entirely possible after a long day today. I'm hoping someone hear has a clearer brain than mine right now.

Just checked it out and bought it. THANKS!!

After the couple of weeks I've had, I'd love to tell "The Man" what he can do with some of his laws, but at the end of the day, I'm still a Federal agent. Not following the latest is not an option. I get in MUCH more trouble than the average person on those things!

Thanks guys! I can't search ebay at work, but will look tonight. Most places (limited search) had the bracket and light separately.

Where should we meet for leftovers? Congrats and happy birthday! That little girl will change your ENTIRE perspective on life and being a man...for the better!

My (then) 10-year old daughter got to shoot an AR platform in .300 Blackout with a can last summer at the range up here. I didn't get the privilege, but she turned around immediately yelling "I WANT ONE!!" I've heard mixed reviews and seen Barnes' advertisements for hogs, deer, and bear at closer range. I'm definitely interested in one, but not sure what I'd do with it in reality.

Bump up, please. I just walked by his decoys in my garage and it reminded me I haven't heard from him or anyone here that knows him. Help me, please!

Hey all- I've been trying to contact muledeerman (John) for a about 3 weeks now. I've sent him a handful of PMs, but haven't heard anything back. He sent me a check for my Pretty Boy turkey decoy and when it was time to finalize meeting arrangements, he basically disappeared. I've sent him multiple messages because I cashed his check right away. The decoys are his and not going anywhere, but if something major has happened to him, can someone let me know so I can send the money back. I feel bad having cashed the check, but not getting him his decoys. If someone on here knows him and knows how to get ahold of him, can you let him know I'm trying to get in touch with him and/or let me know what's up? Trying to do the right thing here.

Just worked perfect for me, my daughter, and my wife. No errors whatsoever, but I printed all of my receipts to have a backup plan!

I finally took the time to read this entire thread. I'm so sorry for your loss, Amanda. I will own these tears welling up in my eyes right now. Your real nightmare was one of my biggest worries back when I did MSO surveys and had my German shepherds with me. We frequently found fresh tracks and I used to think that there was no way a lion would tangle with a GSD. I've lost two GSDs to cancer, so I know how much it sucks to make that decision before you are ready. I can't imagine having to stand there, watching it go down and not be able to help. My heart aches for you and your husband. If only dogs could live forever. My daughter asked me the other day "If you could have one superpower, what would it be?" I didn't know the answer then, but I know now that it would be to give dogs eternal life for all they do for us. My family and I are sending you our deepest condolences and best prayers.

You'd be surprised (or not) at some of the idiots we have in this town. Somebody stole the propane tank off our camper parked in front of our house 6 years ago. I'm glad you were able to track them down and the buyer was a good guy about it! And thanks for the heads up!

I can't tell where you're from on my phone, but if you'll ship (to Flagstaff), I'll take the Swaro case. I'm in Durango until late Sunday, but can send a check this week.

Confirmed. This won't affect your bonus points or lottery draw. You can have both tags and fill both tags (assuming you're that lucky)!

Good question. I have an email into the State Chapter and will get back to you soon!

Figured I'd give this another bump. Plenty of cards/tickets left up here for a chance at a Governor's Turkey Tag.

I read somewhere those rios are hybrids, they have some merriams in them. Interesting to see how the hunt went IA Born is well read on this subject and seems to believe they are hybrids which if the case is disappointing. I suppose the biologist-geek in me can't help but point out that they are all subspecies, not separate species. We only have one species of turkey in Arizona, with three subspecies. When it comes to that technical stuff, I freely admit that I can be a PIA, but I can't help it. Its also ironic because, in the taxonomy world, I'm a lumper and not a splitter. But TRKHNTR is correct in that my understanding of those "Rios" brought in from Utah is that they have hybridized with Merriam's up there. The geneticist in me would like to see the DNA results to confirm, but friends who were former UDWR biologists/conservation officers were telling me about the hybridization issue when they were brought into Arizona. There's a reason I'm holding out for my Rio from South Texas!

I have this vest and absolutely love it. Bump for a great deal on a great vest!

Sold. Thanks, James and great to meet you!
