I just saw info on this fire. I am truly saddened but this. This fire is burning right through my normal javalina area, that I have grown up camping and hunting in. Godspeed to all the people impacted by this fire in their everyday life, and to all the people fighting it. I have spent more time in those hills in the Bradshaws than any other place outdoors.

That is horrible to hear. I wish you all the best with trying to get your situation handled. I am sure this has to be a tough time. I am sure if you need help though CWT is a good place to see how good people in the world can help.

It looks like they are fighting hard to protect Mayer, Breezy Pines, and Poland Junction. The fire has jumped up on Big bug mesa in spots, but it looks like they are fighting to keep most of the fire off the rim of the mesa.

I just found a detailed map. My favorite javalina hill and favorite recreation camp spot have burned. Sad days. Hopefully this will help clean up some of the super nasty stuff in there, but the area won't be viable again for at least a few years. I am glad I didn't put in for deer in 20a this year. I wouldn't know where to start or what to do. Next javalina season will be a clean slate I guess.

Serious Texas BBQ is a must. The southside location has an 18 hole mini-golf that is fun. I was up there for 4 days and we did BBQ and mini golf twice. If you like Carhartt head into Ignacio and go to the trader store. They have a great selection.

We just got back from Durango. My in laws live there. We did the purgatory slides, chair rides, etc with my 5 year old. He loved it. It is a good time and across the road is a nice catch and release pond. It is a great area, but an area west of town is on fire right now near Lightner creek. Vallecito reservoir and lemon reservoir are both nice. You might check on camping at Lemon.

They don't build things like they used to. That applies to the A/C world also. It doesn't matter what brand you buy. You do get better equipment with better brands, but if you make it the whole 10 year warranty period without needing something replaced under warranty you are the exception. It could be a $5 capacitor, but something isn't going to last all 10 years, especially here. This heat bakes capacitors. No breakage means no service which means no work for service techs.

Try comfort experts. I don't know if they do 24hr service though. If they do it tell them Harley from Sigler sent you.

Do you have more info on the Minox Scope?

That kimber is used and $30 worth of diesel to go get. That isn't horrible, but it isn't a great deal either being used. If I am up in Prescott soon and they have it maybe I will offer them $800 and see if they bite. The Sig steel frame guns don't fit my hand as well as a 1911 or the Sig composite frame guns. I love Sig pistols, but he only ones that really feel good in my hand are the composite frames.

Who has it in stock local? I am just pricing off budsgunshop.

I have never personal held an RIA but with it at $600 and the new Ruger at $750, the RIA is out of the running. American made in AZ with presumably better parts, steel, and hopefully workers makes the a Ruger a no brainer of a choice as the minimum gun to consider. The kimber is about $980 for the cheaper option. I know that option is a very good choice too based on my past experience. I am not afraid to scratch a $1000 pistol if I know it is my hunting pistol. I will try not too, but stuff happens in the woods sometimes. I have a $20k truck with AZ pinstripe. Harley

I wish sig had 1 also. I have 2 different friends with Sr1911 in 45acp and they are nice. dang good gun for the price.

I wish I had a swift. Someday maybe. Good luck with the sale. That is a great deal.

I have learned and shot 1911 style pistols my whole life. Trying to point a glock isn't natural to me. I dont hate glocks, bt I can't point them so I don't own them. I actually went down to buy a glock 19 for a carry pistol at one point, but my buddy at the gun shop talked me out of it. I knew he was right, but I like the reliability of the glock. I left with a Sig P250. I was very happy with my choice. I now shoot a Sig 2022 as my carry gun and my Kimber .38 super is my hunting sidearm. My dad and I both own Kimber's and love them, but the extra $300-400 for the kimber over the Ruger has me leaning towards the Ruger.

I have my 2 sons in montessori school and we do the tax credit donation to their school. It is a great way to help put your state tax dollars to work where you want them instead of where some politicians decide.

I love the 6.5x55. I have a sporterized mauser that shoots really well, and I am probably going to get a CZ in 6.5x55 soon too.

Dang, I almost need 1 just because they are so cheap.

If you need some to try and are over my way, I can spare some for you to try.

I have only dealt with a few elk in person so far. All cows, all late hunts. The first was when I was 16 or so. We shot it late one afternoon. A nasty storm was moving in so we gutted it right away, but didn't have time to get it skinned. It was well below freezing that night. We got it to the processor about 16 hours from TOD. Some of the meat nearest the skin had already started to go. We didn't have a lot of waste, but we still lost some. 2 years ago we got 2 cows on opening evening in separate areas. We got them both back to camp and gutted and skinned before midnight. Mine was in the back of my truck in a clean tarp on a cold windy night. I took mine into the processor first thing the following morning and it was frozen. We had no meat waste and the meat tastes fantastic. My buddy halved his and hung it in the shade for the rest of the hunt. It was well below freezing even during the daytime for most of the hunt. The last couple days though it started to get above freezing during the day and his elk would thaw a little during the daytime and refreeze at night. He didn't lose any meat, but his does have a little funky flavor. He finally admitted recently that if he had a do over he would have had me take it to the processor with mine. He has the hunt again this year so we will see if he gets and elk and what he does with it... For me the answer is clear. Guts out, skin off ASAP. Get it frozen/cold and keep it that way.

that is pretty hardcore. Over 2 miles is a crazy shot.

Randalls will do it on the westside for $25 I think.

I don't know the specifics of this job, but there is alot of money to be made in HVAC, especially in this town. Get in early, get experience and move up quickly.

It was still burning yesterday as I came down the 89.The signs said to avoid the 180, but didn't call it closed.
