    New Draw

    Six tags for 3 species is insignificant in the big picture. Hopefully tag numbers will remain low for the app fee harvest by AZGF. I'm in!

    Daughters sheep hunt

    The intent of this "loophole" is to get young people in the field. Tag transfer is a family deal with transfer only going to minors. I am all for tag transfer within families but suspect this young lady drew her own tag. Hope this family has an amazing experience.

    Card hits??

    Got a Gould's tag in my realm, likely my sweetheart drew but you never know. 31 or 35B.

    37a 2020 Ram

    Outstanding work on a really nice ram.
  7. Looking for a used tire, preferably a BF Goodrich All Terrain. A wheel would be cool too, 8 - 170 mm with a 4.5" offset for a 02 F350. Thanks in advance for any help. Phoenix metro or Showlow area.

    Coyote gun Scope suggestions

    Hate to think how many yotes got away that would not have if I'd been packing a shotgun. BB's, #4 buck. Recommend a "turkey" shotgun, camo'd with a 24" tube.

    Do something nice for your dog today

    Beautiful dog, sorry for your loss.

    Doe hunts????

    Removing does is ALWAYS about limiting/reducing the size of a population, not the buck/doe ratio.

    Ran a pair of these for many years. Very good optics. GLWS

    Predator Call Choices

    ^^^^ this, escape cover is key for foxes and to a lesser extent, bobcats.

    Spring Draw

    You are probably right (hopefully). Maimograms are not cool.

    Dirt bike questions

    IMO, don't expect to haul anything safely on a dirt bike unless it is on your back or centered on the bike. Handling can be scary if ANY weight is off center. Don't know about hauling a trailer. Agree with jcarter, a quad would be a better choice. As far a "putting around" goes, takes a lot of discipline to go slow, especially long term. If you end up with a bike, buy ALL the safety gear and use it!

    Flagstaff camping

    Congratulations!
  18. I assume you already own a decent tripod with a quality pan head/pistol grip. Quality 10X42's are my recommendation. Acquire specialty glass down the road as needed.

    AZ; Ready to Rumble?

    Buddy sent me a link to a list of notable AZ storms from the 20th century. https://www.weather.gov/psr/Arizona_historic_storms I remember most of these storms starting with the snowstorm(s) December of 1967. My parents has just finished building a small home near Alpine. Many homes in the area collapsed due to the massive snow load. Fortunately, my parents home survived the storm. The Labor Day storm of 1970 produced about 4-5" of hail on the ground at Alpine. My brothers and I broke out sleds and a toboggan, had a blast! Hopefully AZ can get back to a wet cycle. A wet monsoon is great but we really need a consistent winter snowpack to break this drought. A link to a visual of the 1993 Verde river flood:

    Texas and Colorado are additional options to consider.

    Fire aftermath

    Hopefully USFS will get on with it. With all the fires around the western US and in AZ it could sap resources. I witnessed the Wallow fire BAER response, I was impressed. https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/photos/AZCOF/2021-07-04-1120-Backbone-PostFire-BAER/related_files/pict20210620-211033-0.pdf
