    Remember the 80s in Phoenix

    Nickle Palace. The 202 ended at priest. The 101 didn't exist. There used to be a mall at 59th and Northen. Criptown Mall. The old Shamrock sign and KNIX sign on I-17 Indoor Swapmart. Mr. Lucky's Maryvale had a mall and a hospital. Dove Hunting at Dysart Road and Thomas. Thomas was a dirt road out there. Phoenix Trap and Skeet club on Indian School. Target shooting at 67th ave & happy valley. Orange groves everywhere. 122* Day (1990) close enough. I am sure there are more.

    Hunting Pain Relief?

    I recently started to use a CBD cream for pain relief of joints and such. It works pretty well honestly, but 1 ingredient is Menthol so it smells that way. I want to see if any knows of 1 that is unscented or has a more mellow smell. I dont think menthol will help attract deer on my upcoming hunt, but I am going to need to use something for my joints. What are you using? I am trying to rely less on things like ibuprofen or tylenol for joint relief.

    7mm Rem mag ammo selection question

    If the sole plan is elk, make sure you are getting a good bullet that shoots well in your rifle. If the ranges are under 500 yards a nosler Partition is hard to beat for toughness on a big animal. Power shok may be a decent bullets, but for a dedicated elk round find something tough that shoots well.

    7mm Rem mag ammo selection question

    If you are thinking about this for this year good luck finding much. I was at sportsman's today and they are gutted of ammo. They didnt have a single box of 3006 on the shelf. As for your question, try both and shoot what your rifle groups better. Then put the bullet in the boiler room. My buddy and I's cow elk last season went down to a 135gr bullet from a 6.5x55 with alot less energy than a 7mm is capable of. Don't over think it. Place your shot you will be good.

    Cold weather tent camping

    My buddy and I spent 2 nights in 7E in December a few years ago with the same setup except we had 2 buddy heaters. It was probably 10-15*f plus wind. We ran 1 heater on high off a BBQ tank, and the other on low off green cylinders. It kept it probably 30-40*f in the tent. It wasn't too cold, but when the heater on green cylinders ran out you felt the temps drop. In the morning we ran both heaters on high and it helped make getting out of your bag much more pleasant. We run CO sensors as well to be safe. After that season though we bought a toyhauler... If I had to do it over I would have covered the top and sides of the tent with packing blankets or something to help insulate it.

    Steel case vs brass case ammo

    In an al or asks sure. Steel case all day. Anything else, no thanks. My dad used to have an AR that wouldn't even chamber steel case ammo because the chamber was to tight. Brass was fine, steel was a no go.

    Kodiak Tent - Initial Thoughts

    This is a big deal. Get the one with side windows if you summer camp and it is warm. The only thing I would change is getting the model with the side windows.
  10. If you need a little more I picked some Spanish brand at sportsman's awhile back. I can spare a box or 2 if needed. They are 5rd boxes.

    Norma Ammo

    Norma is top notch. Is your barrel twist fast enough for 156gr though?

    Let's be real, your house might also be described as near SE Wickenburg... Edge is a good guy. He did a bunch of work on my toy hauler earlier this year.

    Kodiak Tent - Initial Thoughts

    Buy a patch kit. I bought 1 frim kodiak and have used it on several pinholes. Also try and always use a tarp or something under it to protect the bottom. A cordless vacuum makes cleaning the inside a breeze too. When covid happened we set up my Kodiak in the back yard for probably a month. We went on backyard camping trips, and the kids used it as a fort. They are awesome tents.

    That is an awesom idea. I am stealing that for mine.

    Who hear is a leader/boss?

    Get them on board early, but if they won't get on board, show them the door. Bad attitudes breed and that doesn't help success.

    Who hear is a leader/boss?

    A big key to your success as a leader is training your people, and if you are in some form of production environment it will be key for you to make sure your guys have the tools, training, directions and material to do the job and to keep working. Your job is to make sure you are out ahead of them with getting things ordered and onsite and in front of them to keep going. Sometimes you will be the guy doing the menial tasks behind them or ahead of them to keep them rolling.

    .338 winmag

    Delw, what is long range to you? I have not shot a 338 win mag at long ranges, but at normal 500 and under my dads old one shot pretty well. I have thought about stealing it from him and trying it out with some of the new cool guy bullets they have available now.

    .338 winmag

    What happens when the bullet pulls out, spills powder all inside your action. Then later that day you go to take a shot at a cow elk, and your rifle doesn't work because your trigger is jammed up with powder. It happened to a buddy of mine about 5 years ago. He was shooting HSM ammo and it was seated long enough to jamb in his rifling. It pulled the bullet out as he would try and extract a live round.

    Orchard Heater/Smudge Pot

    I want one to use as a heater in the back yard for sitting around and enjoying the cool air and drinking a beer, and for camping if we are ever allowed to have open fires again. I always have plenty of old cooking oil and other oils that are free fuel to that I want to utilize to get it out of my way.

    Is anyone familiar with these? Where can I get one locally that isn't super expensive?

    Who hear is a leader/boss?

    Train your team members but if they are not up to the task, be ready to let them go if they can't cut it. If you are going to have 10-12 guys you probably can't manage them all directly at all times. You must find leaders underneath you to lead crews or work groups. You can't micro manage, and you must deligate tasks to those leaders. You must hold them accountable to get the tasks done to your standard and in the timeframe you give them. If your people don't get it done on time and to the standard it is on you. You can't blame them up the chain of command. Own it and figure out how to fix it. Ownership is key.

    New to Turkey

    So it appears I drew my first ever Turkey tag this year I believe in unit 7. Beside scouting, camo, and a shotgun what do I need? I have availability of shotguns that shoot 12ga 3" or 3.5" shells. Do I really need to shoot the 3.5's? They hurt...

    New to Turkey

    I will have to double check choke tubes. I think I bought a turkey tube for my mossberg years ago because it was on clearance at cabelas. Is anyone using decoys or is that not really necessary?
