I was in Sandy, UT at my sister's house over the weekend and the high temps were about 60 degrees and 95% of the snow in her yard had already melted. She sent me pictures this morning of what got dumped on them last night and this morning. Pretty impressive winter they've had.

For sale Kuiu Pro LT pack system with 4000 and 5500 Pro LT bags. System includes: Carbon Fiber Frame - Tall Pro Suspension - Valo - L/XL Pro Hip Belt Pouches - Valo Pro LT Bag - Valo - 4000 Pro LT Bag - Valo - 5500 I purchased this setup new in October and used it one day with the Pro LT 4000 Bag on a rifle deer hunt. No deer killed that day, so pack is still in brand new condition. The Pro LT 5500 bag has still never been used. I found I still prefer my Outdoorsmans pack over this setup, so I might as well move this one along. Everything is in perfect working condition. I will split up the bags if someone is interested in just one of them. If you purchased all of this new today it would be over $700 Price is firm: $525 for entire pack system and both bags I live in Florence and work in downtown Mesa Monday thru Thursday. Willing to meet up between those places during the week or as far West as Bass Pro. I’ll be in Casa Grande tomorrow evening for a baseball game. PM here, or call or text if interested 480-5OO-6545 Daryl

Bump for the lucky people that drew elk tags!

Wow, 2003?!?! I joined July of 2005 and I believe I was a little over member number 600. I wonder how many members there were in 2003.

So I’m now in the market for a good scope and I just read this entire thread. Swarovski wasn’t mentioned at all, so I’m curious to hear your opinions on the Swarovski Z6 3-18x50.

I have 15 bonus points and I have a 96.8% chance of getting another BP with my draw choice 🤞

Sunday morning bump.

If you get a photo radar ticket in Mesa but live in Florence they won’t hand deliver it and it will get tossed out. Don’t ask me how I know 🥷

Even though I will probably never draw a tag in my lifetime, I love seeing these guys. They are such amazing animals. This is a 24B ram, and not one that you’d see from one of the lakes. He looked to be a really good ram. Hopefully the video uploads with good clarity. IMG_1288.MOV

Yup. I’m in Pinal County and I’ve recently taken advantage of the 5 year registration option. I’m so glad they dropped the $16 per year fee too.

This past Friday. I have only been finding small deer, so I turned my attention to the cliffs and got lucky.

Serious question, not trying to stir the pot. Is the Ollin system that much better than phoneskope to justify twice the cost? The question is meant for those that have used both in the field. I’ve used the phoneskope system for a few years now and I have no complaints.

I guess I should have mentioned that I worked as an apprentice while doing the schooling. I went to a 6 hour class once a week during those 4 years. You get raises as you reach different levels of schooling and on the job training hours. I believe now they do a 3 hour class twice a week in the evenings. This way you don’t have to miss any work. You also get health benefits that the contractor pays for.

Commercial and industrial is the way to go, IMO, if he wants to be an electrician. I did an apprenticeship through the IBEW here in Phoenix from 2005-2009. I graduated and had no school debt while making good wages and contributing to a pension. I was lucky enough to get into the utility side of things 2 years ago, so now I'm working on pension number 2. This is where I did my apprenticeship: https://www.pejatc.org/ This is the apprenticeship in Tucson: https://www.tucsonjatc.org/

Dying to get out but I’m on call for work through Sunday night 😒 Knowing they’re pushing does just makes it worse for me 😢 I need Monday morning to get here!

The same happens with the 3rd whitetail hunt from time to time.

Used Phoneskope case for iPhone 11 or iPhone XR. Works great, got lots of great use out of it before I upgraded my phone. $30 and I’ll ship or meet face to face if you’re close by. Sample video of some sheep at just over 1,000 yards through Zeiss 10x42’s. PM me here, text, or call 48O-5OO-6545 Daryl FullSizeRender.MOV

I’m looking for recommendations for a good, honest mechanic in the southeast valley or Mesa. I don’t mind paying a premium for someone who is really good at what they do and is honest. The shop I used to always go to has gone downhill in the last few years. This is for a 2013 Ford Fusion.

I lived in Argentina for a few years, about a year of that being in Rosario, the hometown of Messi and DiMaria. I saw firsthand the passion that Argentines have for the game of fútbol and that’s how I grew to love the game. In my house we were all on the edge of our seats for the whole game, and what a long one it ended up being. A few years ago Leo Messi made the comment that it was more important for him to be remembered as a good person rather than a good soccer player. How can you not cheer for that kind of guy?!

I also got a standard poodle from this member just over 2.5 years ago. She has been an excellent family dog. My young boys like to play rough and she seems to enjoy it just as much as they do. She absolutely loves to chase birds and rabbits, and her speed is surprising. We have been very happy with her.

What a final that was yesterday! I’m glad Messi could finally win the biggest prize in fútbol!

You gotta be aware of how good the optics are these days. I find the thickest stand of bushes I can so I don’t end up like this guy 🤷🏼‍♂️
