Flatlander

Well after doing m homework I really struggled with whether to buy Chinese or USA. Most of American safes were double the $ but I just couldn't pull the trigger on something imported. Today I was able to find a Liberty 23 with a scratch that was $250 more than the bighorn I was looking at. For $250 more I feel like I got a better quality safe and kept my money stateside.

I am currently shopping for a gun safe and wa interested in any recommendations other members might have. My criteria right now are as follows: >20 cuft >20 gun capacity 1 Hour / 1200 deg. Rating >500 lbs Non-Electronic lock I am especially curious about the last one. How does an electronic keypad hold up in a fire? My guess is not so hot, so then how do you get the thing open? Also, are the electronic keypads reliable, anybody had one for more than 20 yrs? If anybody else has any recommendations I would love to hear them. Here is my current #1 contender . . .

11%

1%, 22% 22%, you are just out of the bonus pass which was 9

Well this is a nice thread. Good to know a little more about you guys. In AZ: 3 Muley 3 Coues 2 Cow Elk 2 Bull Elk 1 Antelope 1 Pig (I could definitely give Heat a run for his money as the worlds worst pig hunter) 1 Bear and a Coati that was the toughest one of all to get.

Good truck, nice price. Won't last.

I am sure glad somebody doesn't publish every mistake I make at work in the newspaper. I would need my own section.

The taxidermist called and told the rug from my 2012 bear is ready. I can't wait to get this thing on the wall of the man cave.

Not true. The 10% cap for Non-res is a CAP, not a set aside. That means that AT LEAST 9 of the bonus tags will go to residents, but every single one of the 18 tags could go to a resident if there were not any non-residents with more points. Or, if there were non-residents with the same amount of points, it would just be a matter of who had the better randomly assigned bonus pass draw number. There is no advantage to being a non-resident. I wish I had the draw report that actually showed each unit broke down by residents and non-residents. I would bet that rifle antelope, every early bull tag most archery bull tags and every deer tag north of the big ditch all make it to the 10% cap in fact except for the archery bull I would bet that most of those tags reach the 10% cap in the 20% pass. To my knowledge there is no such report.

Oh no . . . You made a liar out of me. No worries I wanted to believe.

If he is saying it I am believing it. Let the fun begin.

Is it HD?

I will be sitting at another table but hope to come by and meet a few of you guys. Should be a good time.

Wow, that's getting it done. Congrats on a great run!

Those snow goose hunts look exciting. How many decoys did they have set out?

Congrats and glad to hear all is well. Our daughter was 6 weeks early and made us a little nervous. Heavenly Father can do miraculous things.

"once the draw takes place, and iF you are successfully drawn, the department will charge the credit or debit card you have on file for the permit fee. if payment fails, the department will make three attempts within two busi- ness days to contact you and notify you that payment has been de- clined. You will then be afforded a means of providing alternative payment within a specified timeframe. if the department has not received an alternate payment at the end of that specified time- frame, applicants will be rejected." Thus the extra week between the deadline to update cards and when tags are mailed out. Makes sense.

I just found this website, very handy. http://gun-safes.findthebest.com/ IA Born - Have you dealt with Cannon's warranty dept. or customer service? I have seen some reviews that were less than favorable but would like feedback from someone credible.

Here is a pic of him on the wall, one of him in the field and a couple of the rest of the man cave. I am totally happy with him. Dustin at Badlands and member couesaddiciton did a great job. And Kidso you are correct, I shot this bear while he was swimming in a small pool of water at the bottom of my favorite canyon. That was great day.

Losing my temper has never really helped me to be productive. Glad we can all agree that blocking roads qualifies you for the D Bag list being assembled in the other thread and that no cwt members should ever have to worry about having their tires flattened by another member. Sorry I said anything.

Desert country archery has a black gold. They just tried to sell it to me.

No 22 left now. Some 17 hmr.

Not that AZGFD cared. They didn't. Their mind was made up, I am no G&F hater and actually think they do a pretty dang good job compared to other states, but they could not have cared less about what the public had to say about this issue.

Depends on the format, but I could get into that.

You asked for predictions . . . I predict that the environmental wacko groups attempt to use this as a means to close access to public lands, eliminate as many hunting methods as possible, especially the use of dogs and that our opinions are ignored.
