That's an awesome goat! Congrats!

Dang, sure did kill some nice bucks.

Didn't you guys hear him, he asked about BIG HEAVY bullets. I am shooting a 120 gr SST out of the 7mm-08 this year. I will let you know how that works. That should answer the question.

Great story! Congrats on a fantastic accomplishment.

Cool buck

This is AWESOME!!!

I am going to try to be more Christian and hold the smack talk for awhile and focus my energy on cheering for my team. Go Devils!!!! Wildcats, we are praying for you.

Congrats Bob! I can't wait to hear more.

good deal. Mine new was over $1700 out the door

Great story. I was wondering about you yesterday. I can't wait for these opportunities with my kids. Two more seasons.

Well this year the wifey is shooting A Marlin X7 Youth in 7mm-08 with 140 gr accubonds

Location?

Must make a poppa proud.

Thanks guys. It was a thrill to share it with all of you along the way. And once I got out on the field, it felt like many of you were there with us waiting to hear about every day.

Southwest has their trailer in Ckint's Well. With these warm temps, be careful trying to transport meat. Southwest has always done well for me, and I used to work there so I know how they work when no one is looking. Mike is a solid guy.

What unit?!?! 😀

I can help

Happy birthday Hector!

Those are my old stomping grounds. Do yourself a huge favor when you get there and head straight to Reed's Dairy for a double scoop of huckleberry ice cream in a fresh waffle cone, best ice cream I've ever had, ANYWHERE!. If I lived there I'd weigh at least another 50 pounds thanks to their AMAZING ice cream. Was there last week, but I prefer the black cherry. I still have some manwaring squeaky cheese in the fridge. I miss the South Fork. And the Henry's fork. And the Middle Fork. And pretty much everything else about that place, EXCEPT minus 20 temps.

Awesome bull! Congrats to the boy!

Awesome awesome bull. That thing is sick.

Well this was a lot tougher than it needed to be. The first 7 came out as you would expect, #8 did not and broke off in the head. Fortunately a couple of guys offered me the tool I needed and CTracingraptor printed the ford procedure for both typical removal and extraction of broken plugs. I was lucky enough to have a good buddy who is basically a mechanic helping me and actually doing most of the work. I wish I could blame everything on a piss poor design but letting these plugs stay in as long as I did was a huge contributor. The truck runs great now and my miss has been remedied with just new plugs and it appears no coils needed replaced. I have to say that CTracingraptor is a class act. He not only loaned me the top but bough the plugs for me at cost and gave me a ton of other stuff to help with routine maintenance. His handwritten notes on the plug swap were invaluable. Welcome to the site and please let me return the favor some day! I am sure pics are sideways. Stupid iPhone.

Anybody have the Ford spark plug remover tool? I am getting ready to do my 07 F150 and am worried about breaking them off, as has been well documented.

I am confused by your comments about trust. This isn't a trust issue in my mind. It's a matter of letting others do work the same way I do mine. I don't believe it's unethical for someone to use the info I freely give them. To that point, yes Casey, I told them. I also told the tag holders from this year what I knew about the unit if they contacted me. But I sure as heck wasn't going to write up all the details in a public forum.

Those hunts are tough. This is not your typical AZ rut cow hunt.
