kphunter. You would be comparing two different tools to that can do the same job but do it differently.The new smaller Hondas and Yamahas are different than the jobsite style generators The 8500watt is loud! My uncle took off the toddler shoe box sized original muffler and replaced it with 2 small automotive style mufflers, it did get quieter but it is still is loud. I bet the 3500-4500 Troybuilt generators would be quieter though. My uncles 8500 runs at full speed or full rpms regardless if it has a load or not. That =loud and gas sucker too. The newer small Hondas and Yamahas are not generators but inverters. They have a throttle control that increases rpms as you need them. They sip gas. My Honda 2000 will run for 15 hours with no load and 4-5 with ½ load on 0.9 gallon of gas! Cool thread!

I know how you feel. I looked for a long time at the generators and I finally bit the bullet and bought the Honda 2000. I was 'forced' into the Honda because our tow vehicle is not a truck and a regular generator was to heavy to load and unload and would have taken up to much space in to back of my wifes Armada. The $1099.99+tax price for the Honda 2000 is very steep but there are online stores that will sell you one shipped for around $900.00. I found a local Honda dealer that matched that price OTD. I would look into the Troybuilt line at Lowes. My uncle has the 8500 watt that he uses for hunting and work that has give him zero problems after 3 years. They also sell a 3500 watt for around $529 I think. That is the one I would have bought if not for the issues I had. Good thing you don't care noise because they are noisy and they run at 100% all the time. I was in your same boat last year, good luck!

This was on that web cite......FUNNY!! Joke of the Week Submitted by Eric L.. - GA. 3 plastic surgeons were sitting at a bar and the first one said: "A guy got hit by a truck and lost his legs. I sewed them back on and he won a marathon. So the 2nd plastic surgeon says " Oh yeah? Well a guy got his hands cut off and I put them back on and he became a famous concert pianist." Then the 3rd plastic surgeon says " Oh yeah? Well a horse got hit by a train and all that was left was it's rear end and some blonde hair and I performed surgery and now she's a senator from New York!!"

Glad to her you had such a great experience! Hopefully I will have similar results to report about my recent bino return for repair to Pentax.......hopefully!!!

The link works but no images or nothing??? I don't get it.

Well said CnS!

Pics? Price?

This looks like a great bullet for the ultramag cal shooters. I agree that it might be a bit much for the little coues we like to hunt. I know that for my '06 it might not open up enough on the long range shots, just look at how little it mushrooms at 1800fps. A good clue as to how stout the bullet is. Too stout?? The Accubond has the same thing going on as far as minimum speed for mushrooming, 1800fps. that is why I have not tried it yet. Funny how in the last few years the 30'06 has become a slow poke caliber.

Coosefan you are fired and I hear by place you under non-posting suspension at least until my eyes stop burning and maybe as long as I have the image in my head. THANKS

and you thought you were the only one looking forward to your scouting trips................Thanks for sharing! we can't wait to see more!

He might not be dead yet, they might have put him to sleep so they could take pictures of him for a prospective shooter. Shooter because who ever shoots him a'nit no hunter.

I would say go with what you have. It is far more important to get really good than to worry about arrow grain weight. Some guys who have been bowhunting for years will say that you can't go after Elk with less than a 500grn arrow! They might not be shooting compounds. -You should pratice with broadheads. -Work on your set up and once you find what works, if it does already don't mess with it. I have seen guys burn months and kill there own confidence because they get convinced they 'don't have enough' and make big changes. -Practice while standing or on a knee on un-even ground, Elk like hills too. I look forward to your scouting trips and pics!

Amex users! Last year I drew an elk tag but the charge to my Amex card appered between 2-3 days after the draw results were posted on the AZGFD web site. I remember this because I was really bummed out to here all the others whos cards were hit and I still had not seen any activity when I would check the CC web site. I could be off but that is the way I remember it. I applied this year on the 25th of Jan and they took the app fees the same day. Actual charges might go up but maybe Amex don't do Pending stuff.

I aint gonna check......................Im to skeered

Sad to see but at least you got to take a coyote out of it. Does he only have a left antler? It looks like a three point. Thanks for sharing!

I am intrested! I will send you a PM.

Nice big javi. Let us know how he scored skull wise. I am waiting for Lark to chime in on this one!!!

Our family has always processed our own game meet and we have not had any issues as of yet. The only thing that stands out is a young fork coues buck that my cousin took about four years ago. We all had high hopes for some great meat from this tender young buck but it came out gamie. The only thing that was done differently was that my cousin ran home from 36C and skinned him and froze the quarters bone-in. Since it was warm as usual but was still in a hurry to get back to camp he did not do the normal routine of butchering "in-shop." The loins were enjoyed that night and were great, the rest of the meat was not. The second is the Elk chorizo that my wife made back in November. I still have about 3 pounds left and it does not taste gamie but rather spoiled. The ground Elk is fine and so are the loins. I think that the canola oil that was used to prepare the chorizo was already used or just plain old. It makes me want to cry to have to toss that chorizo out. Besides that every thing else was great, especially the tamales. Don't kill it if you are not going to eat it(except for coyotes) and bucher your own if you want to eat the game you took!!!!!!!

Here we go again

You guys are making me LMAF!!!!!!!

so would I!!!!!!!!!!

I had Elk chorizo yesterday morning for breakfast................hum..hum...good... Sad part is that I am getting down to the last of it.

Very cool! You see those in alot from the "regular" WT back east. Sonora?

Sorry for your loss. Your father sounded like a great man. We will pray for you.

A big congradulations on your jem of a doe. Hold on, enjoy because it is one of the best jouneys you will ever take. May God bless you and yours!
