    Desert Recluse

    A friend of mine almost lost his leg from a spider bite that got staph a few years ago. He spent the better part of a week in the hospital and was literally about 30 minutes from losing his leg from above the knee down. Scary stuff. Glad you are ok.

    Leftover tags

    My group drew late October in 29. It was 3rd choice. This will be 2 years in a row in 29. Hopefully this year will be better then last year. We saw almost everything except a buck deer.

    az gila monster unit 21

    I got to see a pink and black one about 10 years ago off table Mesa road when I was out four wheeling. It was pretty cool to see one in the wild.

    98.5-02 Dodge Cummins Programmer

    Bump to the top. $475.00 shipped.
  9. I have a Smarty programmer for the 98.5-02 Dodge Cummins trucks. It is a great lowend and midrange programmer for towing and lowend torque. If you have one of these trucks and are thinking about a programmer you should highly consider this one. I loved this chip for my truck. It really helped motivate these big trucks off the line and provides a great boost for towing. madselectronics.com I just bought a 2005 Cummins and my old 98.5 with this chip had better lowend torque and throttle response. Price is $525 OBO. Thanks Harley

    98.5-02 Dodge Cummins Programmer

    This was the only chip I ran. I did not have the need or supporting mods to run a stacked chip.

    A new State Record...Flathead!!!!!

    He caught this one when it was colder out so he said it didn't fight a lot but it was like dragging a 73lb rock to shore with your fishing pole. The dude who caught the 75lb last week said his took 30 minutes to land because it fought pretty hard.

    A new State Record...Flathead!!!!!

    This is now only the third largest caught. Another guy landed a 75 pounder that was 3 pounds smaller then the record and 2 lbs bigger then this one. The guy in the picture is my buddy that I posted about awhile back.

    RV dump stations near Alpine?

    If you head in through springerville you should stop at Avery's and get some BBQ. They have hookup RV spots so they might have a dump station as well. A buddy of mine owns the place and makes some kicka$$ BBQ. Just outside town on the back to Showlow.
  17. It takes some initial investment and time to reload. If you are ok with those investments then reload. Most rifle calibers these days are worth reloading to save money at the least but it will also give you the opportunity to dial in a load for your rifle if your are willing to invest them time and money to work them up. I reload a lot because the rifle I shoot is ultra expensive to shoot factory rounds through (257 weatherby). I also reload a lot of heavy pistol rounds that are expensive like 44 mag and 45 colt. Nothing is cheap to shoot anymore so reloading can at least make it a little more bearable to spend time at the range.

    Family Strengths

    Please don't get taken advantage of this summer by A/C contractors. If you need a recommendation of fair and honest contractors please let me know. Residential or commercial I can get you leads of people who won't take you for a ride like the majority of the people out there. I am a wholesaler so I deal with many of the guys who you may think to call. If you have questions please feel free to contact me and I will be more then happy to point you in the right direction.

    Who's going out on the rifle hunt?

    The hiking in nasty scrub brush part came true, and a little bear drinking too. The tagging out part didn't go so well though. We saw some good clean sign but didn't see anything beside a nice Muley buck. Nobody else we talked to saw anything either. The water we scouted up 3 weeks before the season had dried up too so that probably didn't help.

    Who's going out on the rifle hunt?

    Headed out to 20A tomorrow with a couple buddies. I am taking my .257 Roy but fully intend to try and use my .38 Super pistol if at all possible. Maybe we will get lucky and tag out on Friday and get to sit around and drink beer on Saturday! Doubtful though. I foresee a lot of hiking some nasty scrub brush in our future.

    257 mag reloading ...???

    I had some range time today to make sure the rifle was dialed in for next weeks Javelina hunt and was able to try some more loads in my .257 Weatherby. I have been using 115-117gr rounds mostly with good success. My rifle shoots Nosler Ballistic tips pretty well, so to practice with a cheaper alternative I picked up some 117gr. Hornady BTSP's. At 100 yards the POI is very similar but I found out my rifle might actually like the Hornady's better then the Nosler. This is 7 shots from the same batch of the same load with the Hornady 117gr. BTSP's. 6 are ragged and 1 I pulled a little. The 4 holes not in the circle are from other rounds I was shooting/patterning. The squares on the target are 1" squares. The load is: 7mm Rem Mag Cases Fire formed to .257 Mag. Winchester Mag Rifle Primers 62.0 gr IMR 4831 Hornady 117gr BTSP @ 3.265" OAL
