The black light at night can be scary! I have ben fortunate and did not have scorpions at my last house even though the neighbor 2 houses down said he had them everywhere. We had an eco pest service that came regularly and apparently did a good job especially considering we have 2 tortoise that are still alive and healthy. I think you have to stay on top of these little boogers or they will be hard to get rid of. I hope we are as luck in our new place as we have been in the past.

Okay I did google this one but there were so many different answers I figured I would see what you guys with trailers do locally. Vehicle: Avalanche with 35" M/T tires on 18" wheels, load E, max PSI 80 (yikes) If I am towing a ~5,000lb trailer how should I run my tires. From google and many forums I have seen anywhere from 40-65 PSI. Most recommend front ~5lbs less than rear (when towing). From the tire shop they were set around ~38lbs.

Thanks prdtr! I have the brake controller that was my poor attempt at sarcasm. The wheels had a weight rating but I did not see anything with a psi rating, the weight rating should be okay for a 5k lb trailer. The wheels are only rated 2,200lbs and the tires 3,400lbs. I am only driving about 100 miles and will probably stay at a campground so no rough stuff. I will drive around town first and make sure everything checks out. I planned on stopping half way as well to eat and check everything out. I read about the 4 PSI rule on tire inflation, if it goes up by more than you probably need more air. Now I can't find that article but that was what I had written down, AZ heat may make the rule less applicable. The truck is not my daily drive it is my hunting and fishing rig. I pull a boat with it fairly often but the boat, trailer, and all the gear is still probably less than 3K and the hitch weight is pretty low. I have never even though of messing with the tires with the boat but will be a little more aware now.

Thanks for all of the feedback! I finally found a tire load inflation chart on the Toyo page, only took me a couple hours of searching! It looks like I don't need to go over 60psi and probably only in the rear tires where the weight is greatest. I would still be guessing on the weight per tire to match the chart.

looks are second or 3rd!!! Haha feel is everything! It's only your life bud, not a big deal? I hope it does not end up that dramatic. We have towed 2 similar trailers without messing with the tire pressure but after reading more about mileage and stopping I decided we should start doing it right. Do I really need a brake controller? jk

Holy Smokes, those are incredible! The second and last should be posters for sale.
-
Thanks for the feedback! I read that the larger the wheel usually a bit more PSI as well. Sounds like 50 all around is a good starting point and see how it looks and feels.

Any info on how it shoots?

Guess I am the only one wearing Asolo. Have for the past 5-6 years mostly because they fit my C width foot so well. They have been great boots.

I still have yet to call in a bobcat, well done!
-
Wow! Great looking drop tines!

Does anyone know if 22 & 23 are closed for good? I know both were well on their way with sow harvest numbers. The bear hot line only updates for the current season so how do you find out about the October hunt?
-
okay will do, thanks!
-
Thanks! I listened again and cut it off before the second part the first time. I figured it was going to close just wanted to be sure since my daughter has a Jr tag and I will be up there.
-
okay then I missed that update when I listened to the recording. Thanks!

Wow! Way kick a guy when he is down. OUCH! -
The OE EDC knives are $27 with free shipping on Amazon. They are actually less that the havalon now. I carry the havalon because the blades and knife are so small and light. I think having both is a good idea especially for Elk. Plus your buddy can change the blades out while you keep working if you have both.

Congratulations! Gotta be walking on air. -
Wow that poor hippo! That is like being killed using a sewing needle and being poked to death.

Is it Legal to use a fox pro to call for elk?
rcdinaz replied to muledeerhntr's topic in Elk Hunting
It is all migratory birds but I agree the calling part is mostly aimed at waterfowl. I saw a video of somewhere in Europe where they use live birds decoy/cll. Like shooting fish in a barrel! -
Tried to run your favorite round through it, but my app would'nt accept 7/08 as a real caliber. My phone laughed at me. That one is a classic!

How do you lock up your Ice chest/coolers???
rcdinaz replied to PelaPapas's topic in Other Hunting Gear
Put an already shot target right above it on a tree! Actually never had any issues but still wondering what kind of jack butt steals someones food and beverages. Guess this is a great reason to not buy a $400 cooler, I have an older Canyon and if it were stolen I am not sure I would make the investment again. Some people really suck! -
I am looking to rent a toy hauler to take my daughter on her 23 jr hunt, I figure it is always more enjoyable to have a bathroom and the rzr for a kid hunt. The place I used last go around was a little pricey but they were good guys and had a smaller unit I could pull with a 1/2 ton Avalanche. Anyone have any recommendations that have worked well for them?
-
Good advice! That is kind of what happened on the Winnie that blew the tranny.

Fantastic critter congratulations!
