    Camp Showers

    I know this isn't necessarily what you asked for, but I picked up one of these, primarily for my wife and daughter as a restroom/shower while camping. Anything that makes their camping experience a little more comfortable and enjoyable gets me in the woods more and for longer. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Ozark-Trail-2-Room-Non-Instant-Shower-Tent/55260501?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&adid=22222222228079657650&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=m&wl3=192108591480&wl4=aud-310687321802:pla-303834941958&wl5=9053836&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=online&wl12=55260501&wl13=&veh=sem

    Camo Donation Drive at Bass Pro Tuesday, Aug. 29!!!

    Additionally, let me know if you have something to donate, but can't make it to Bass Pro today. My office is just a couple of miles from Bass Pro. I would be happy to collect items any weekday and my office (or home in Queen Creek) and I will make sure that it all gets to Tom.

    Camo Donation Drive at Bass Pro Tuesday, Aug. 29!!!

    Hey guys, just wanted to bring this back to the top. Tom (Lv2hnt) is down at Bass Pro now taking your camo, clothing, and gear donations for our vets. This is a fantastic cause! All the camo, clothes, and gear will be used by our vets who may not have, but need these items on their hunts. Your donations will continue to grow the Hunts for Heroes closet, and will be reused many times over. Nothing goes to the volunteers, vets only. If you have some stuff you have been thinking of selling, why not donate it to our vets? Tom can also provide you with a receipt for your donation.

    Game bags

    This isn't a bad idea. My wife has an industrial sewing machine for commercial welding pad business. I need to see if I can find some of this high end material and see what she could make these bags for.

    UTV Storage in the Heber/Overguard Area?

    Thanks guys! I appreciate the offers. I really hate to put you and your families out by having my stuff stashed in your yards for a few months. I'm going to look into it a bit more and may get back with you.
  8. I'll be making quite a few trips up to the Heber/Overguard area over the next few months for scouting and hunts. I got to thinking that rather than hauling my Ranger Crew back and forth from the valley multiple times, it might be a lot easier to take it up and find a place in the area to store it and the trailer until the season is over. I am not sure if I will save much once you figure gas savings vs storage cost, it may cost more to store. But it would make it a lot easier to not have to load and unload the Ranger, trailer, etc. every trip, not to mention everything that goes along with towing a trailer back and forth. Anyone done anything like this before and or know of any good places? Is it worth the storage costs? Also, I highly prefer to keep it stored indoors out of the weather. Thanks

    Game bags

    I throw mine in a 5 gallon bucket of water with a scoop of laundry soap, swirl, and let soak for a day. Shake off the bits of meat, ring out, and then throw into the washing machine. They might come out just as clean without the pre-wash soak. But I know my wife appreciates the extra effort to keep as much meat, hair, and blood as possible out of her washer. Makes her a little more tolerant of all my other hunting related messes.

    New Boots

    Hey Houston, what are your thoughts on these Crispi boot for ankle support? Do you feel you get pretty good support with an 8 inch versus a 10 inch?

    When I click on that link it says "usually ships in 1 - 2 MONTHS". Typo? Yikes! Seems odd to me. Maybe super popular right now?

    Game bags

    Of the ones I have tried, I like Caribou bags the best, but they aren't cheap. I have seen some Black Ovis bags on camofire.com several times recently that look a lot like the caribou bags, but for a fair amount less. If you want another good lower price option that is still a good jump above pillow cases, check out the Allen game bags. I bought some of those on Amazon a couple of years ago when my son and I both had tags, and I knew I might need extra. They have held up very well for a few years now through several hunts and are still in great shape. Maybe not as fancy as some of the premium bags, but I would buy them again. https://www.amazon.com/Allen-Backcountry-Meat-Bags-Pack/dp/B00BQXP7YO

    Arizona Elk Society's "Wapiti Weekend"

    It was awesome! Didn't even make it out of camp before my kids started talking about next year. In addition to the MANY activities going on, the younger two (ages seven and eight) made a whole gang of new friends and my oldest (almost 13) found a few new "lady friends".

    I've got some friends up in the White Mountains who have reported starting to hear a few.

    Camouflage Hunting Clothing Donation Drive!!!

    TTT Great time and reason to go through the closet and find that stuff that's still in good shape, but maybe doesn't fit, or maybe you just needed an excuse to try that new pattern or brand you've been eyeing up.

    Has anyone shot a swhacker through mesh?

    Several years ago I shot at a big 110+ inch Coues deer through mesh with a Swhacker at 25 yards. I swear I was steady and right on target, but all I got on the deer were a few back hairs. I'm not going to definitively blame the swhacker/mesh combo, as it possible that I flinched and had a little buck fever. But to this day I still have nightmares about it and strugle to comprehend what went wrong. Needless to say, I won't shoot through mesh ever again with a mechanical.

    Sling may be your answer...lots of sports on 24/7 between all the ESPNs, PAC12, SEC and other networks. I use vpn for work too and not sure I understand the application being discussed here. Our work vpn is so slow no way I'd want to stream anything through it. A VPN should not be affecting your speed. You might have another problem.

    Just came across this for any who want to tighten up on their security and get a VPN. Two years of VPN through PIA for $60 which is a great deal by itself. Add promo code PIA20 at checkout for an additional 20% off to bring the price down to $48. https://stacksocial.com/sales/private-internet-access-vpn-2-yr-subscription?aid=a-nagq2spl&utm_source=bensbargains.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=private-internet-access-vpn-2-yr-subscription_081517&utm_term=scsf-243446
