Not a marinade, but I like to simmer brats in beer with onion, garlic, red pepper, and some salt and then finish them off on the grill. I think it gives them some extra flavor.

If going the bandsaw route, be sure it has a high enough horsepower motor to do what you want, especially since you mentioned resawing oak. Resaw blades generally have large teeth to hog out a lot of material (avg 3 teeth per inch), so you'll need some decent power behind it. Since it sounds like this is for occasional use, I'd be looking at no less than a 1hp motor and a 2hp being even better. As for using pallet wood a cheap metal detector wand will pay for itself... nothing dulls a bandsaw blade quicker than metal. Hope that helps.

This is very true and especially if the engine has AFM/ DOD on it. Mine does not have that thankfully, but my ticking issue is a little different. It will only start after it's at operating temp and has been idling for about 10-20 minutes. It starts as ticking and will get progressively worse turning into a knock within a few minutes. Increasing the throttle a little will make the noise go away temporarily, but it will return after a few minutes. The oil pressure also increases when you accelerate (and noise goes away), so we're leaning towards oil pressure issues. I'll also add Lindsay's to my list to call today. Thanks

Hi all, I'm looking for a good mechanic to do some engine work on a Chevy 6.0L gasser. Just wanted to see if there were any CWT members that do this sort of work, or if there's anyone in the valley that could be recommended. Engine's making some tapping/ knocking noise when at operating temps and idling for extended times (~10-20 min.). The best guess so far is that there could be some bad lifters and/or possibly an oil pump issue. Chevy dealer recommended replacing the entire engine (their typical protocol), but I'm not sure that I'm ready to invest that kind of money yet. The engine only has 95K on it, so I have to think there's still some life left in it. Located in Maricopa, so would like to find someone in the valley. Thx

Thanks for the input guys, I'll give the aforementioned places a call.

Any good recipes that you guys have tried for the turkey legs? For turkey legs and thighs I like the Meateater recipe for carnitas. It takes some time to make them, but they've turned out great the 2 times I've tried it. Here's the link Beer and Citrus-Braised Wild Game Carnitas Street Tacos | MeatEater Cook (themeateater.com) Big congrats to your son too.

Mileage/ hours?

I also have to remove my glasses to use binos, or at least to use them effectively. My problem is that even with the eye cups of most binos screwed all the way in, the lenses of my glasses will hit the lens of the binos before I can get my eyes close enough to the binos for the correct eye relief. If it's just a quick glance through the binos freehand I can make do, but I end up just taking my glasses off to glass from the tripod for long periods of time. It's a hassle, but it's the only way I've been able to glass comfortably. As others mentioned I've been able to adjust my binos to see perfectly without my glasses.

I'll call seconds if first one falls through. Thx

Monday bump. I have some extra Varget and H335 powder to trade if that helps anybody out.

Probably a long shot, but does anybody have some 30 caliber Berger 210 Hunting VLD's or Elite Hunter 205's they'd be willing to sell or trade?

Outdoorsman's had them on sale for Black Friday. Might try looking on offerup, I thought I saw one on there the other day.

Application wasn't bad. You will need your Customer ID number though. Also, it's $13 per hunt so $78 if you apply for all 6. I must have misread it originally and thought it was just one $13 application fee for all, (no such luck).

I'll call seconds on the Berger 210 VLD's, if for some reason it doesn't work out.

I'm sure everyone's foot is a little different, but for me it took changing out the factory insole and a lacing technique to make my Crispi Nevada's fit like they should. When I bought mine at Ross the guys there showed me some different ways to lace them that actually made a difference to the way the boot fit (at least for my feet). Might be worth a trip over to Ross to have them show you if you're not too far away. Overall they've been very good boots for me. Hope you find a technique that works.

Not sure if it's what you want or if it's cost prohibitive, but some fabric stores carry foam pads that could be used as a sleep pad. I purchased some from Jo Ann's Fabric last year for reupholstering some seat pads on benches. As mentioned already, a topper might be cheaper if you aren't looking for anything too thick.

PM sent.

Just wanted to share my recent turkey success. After striking out earlier in the morning with a couple of uncooperative gobblers, I decided to try a different spot in the afternoon. I made a big loop in some country I had hunted several years ago, stopping to call every so often. After no responses and not seeing any sign I decided to make my way back to the truck. I stopped to take a break and sat down on a log when this Tom came in silently on the same path I had just been walking, almost like he had been following me. A couple of really soft yelps got him to stop and investigate. He jumped up on a downed log 20 yards in front of me and it was a done deal. Earlier this year I was able to pick up a box call that was made by the late Marvin Robbins. I figured it would be a cool piece of Arizona hunting nostalgia, and was excited to try it out on this hunt... guess it did the trick. 😉 Good luck to all those still out hunting and those with upcoming tags.

Very cool footage of the fly down!

Not from the spot that I was sitting, but about 400 yards back. That's a very interesting concept about their sense of location. Makes me wonder how many turkeys I've missed out on in times past.

Sadly there are chinese knock off Leupold scopes out there. If you google "counterfeit Leupold scopes" you can find more info. As always, beware of things that are too good to be true.

Items are spoken for pending meet up. Thx.

Please delete. THX

Located in Maricopa. I occasionally make it to Chandler and Queen Creek if that helps anyone.

I'll call seconds, if for some reason joohnybgood doesn't take it.
