Sorry, I was just trying to help. I don't have a smart phone (Blackberry) and do not use it to access the Net. He was asking $2,500. PRDATRMy bad, that wasn't intended as a dig against you but venting my frustration of the OP only posting a link and no additional info. Thanks for posting up the price for us btw..

Wow! Sure hope it's not a solar panel array.

Not to derail this thread but... I also know of people that report 'No Kill' on their survey when they did kill. They worry that somehow G&F is going to track their harvest and punish them by not 'allowing' them to draw a tag the next year. I think this all comes out in the wash and tag numbers are determined by deer survey results that they do each year as well as stratified data (with errors from false and lack of reporting) from hunter harvest surveys. If you want your opinion to be heard re: tag numbers etc, voicing them on a forum isn't the best venue. I would also encourage every hunter to visit a G&F office when the hunt recommendations are open for comment. Become familiar with how the data are used and what goes into the recommendations. As some have already stated about these meetings, there are generally only a few (like 3 or 4 tops) hunters present at each meeting. Be vocal and involved.

Awesome buck bc! Love the character. Tough hunts can be some of the most memorable.

The Nikon P- 223 3x32 is on Camofire right now for 99.95, for a few more hours..seems like a good deal.

Welcome to the site! What part of the state do you live or were you planning on hunting for deer and where is your javelina hunt? BOW is a great introduction to many things hunting and outdoors. hope you made some good connections there. I know women that have been going to them for years. Perhaps if other members know what city you live in and hunts you were planning it might help others to free up some time or invite you along if they have the same hunt or neighboring.

Glad you could maximize on the opportunity. Amazing how soft those images are compared to the ruggedness one normally would see looking from those vistas. Thanks for sharing!

Amazing bull! Congrats to father and son on a lifetime animal. Not saying that hard work paid off because they obviously put time and effort into preparing and hunting but man some people have the best luck.

I am interested in responses as well. I too want a new harness. Elk Hunter had a pretty good review on a number of harnesses this past summer issue and I would like to see some of the harnesses in person. I can't stand the regular harnesses with all elastic and want something that holds them firm to chest and keeps out dust, twigs and moisture.

Great bull! Looking forward to your update on animals taken this fall.

Dang ol dang. Thats a good deal for this set up. The Spot Hogg alone is worth half of asking price.

----SOLD----- Thx

Wow! That was a good deal. I sure hope someone was able to capitalize on that. I didnt read this until after closing time or else I woulda been suckered into saving money. Glad folks support site sponsors and local!

In 2009 I saw a troop of coati above Fossil Springs dam near the flume trail. It was a pretty good sized troop too. Always cool to see those critters.

Nice job and great unbroken bull! Any day you can kill a bull and find a shed is a dang good day in any book!

You likely need the 3/8 to 1/4 adapter. I have an extra if that's what you need. If you don't live here in the valley. I'll mail you one. PM me your info if you're interested. -C

I've seem this bow shoot. It's still smokin fast and smooth. Both current and previous owner took good care of it. This is a good bow for a new shooter.

I appreciate the feedback fellas. Spent some additional time reading some jerky and sausage preparation forums. If meat or sausages are cold smoked, it is ideal to use cure, sodium nitrate is just a simple one that works well. As you all stated and as I was thinking, as long as the meat is stored in the freezer (long term) or fridge (short term) after being dried it wont need to be cured. I'll have to try the recipe that was posted! Thanks for the feedback though guys.

So I have made jerky before as well as my own blend of spices for chorizo and sausage. This year I wanted to make up a bunch of jerk sticks but when I started reading the ingredients of the pre made packaged kits...I was disgusted with what I found. Nearly all of the blends had MSG in them and the rest have sodium nitrates for the curing. I am comfortable with creating my own spice or flavor blend am will do some additional research but what I'm curious about is do I need all that sodium and sodium nitrates in order for the meat to cure? After I make the sticks I will dehydrate or smoke and then vacuum seal and store in my freezer, seems like that will be adequate enough. I'm open to you alls thoughts and feedback though.

Two trail cams for sale. Purchased from a CWT member a year or so ago. They work I just dont use them and would rather have the money. SPF--- Moultrie LX30IR and Wildgame Innovations W3X. Located in N Phx but will ship on your dime. PM for more information or pictures. In great condition, texture seen in photo is from Rustoleum spray on texturing.

Always look forward to your posts. Thanks for the images Doug.

They are sold pending funds- if sale falls through I'll repost pics and cost. Welcome to cwt.

How did I miss this post? Comgrats to Ana on her first deer and thank you Ernesto for a great write up with accompanying pics! Awesome to get a double with the same rifle and the family in tow. Great memories for everyone.

Had this hunt last year. It is a haul from the valley but great location. There is a few threads on here regarding 12A turkey's with good information on how to hunt them up there. Depending on snow fall you could have dry or wet conditions for that late hunt. A word of advise as well, keep your eye open for turkey hunting seminars hosted by a few members on this forum including Little Creek Calls @ Sportmans Warehouse in Mesa or Jay and Darr at Bass Pro. PM if you need more info for 12a. Good luck!
