No. But it can only be used once with your current BP total. If you draw again, you lose your points. Then once you start building BPs again, PG is again usable.

I saved it to my HD for later perusing. Thanks!!👍

The big key here is a gas line needs to be present where the dryer will be used.

Cool how it so closely mirrored where the present day interstates are. 👍

It's listed as a "Whirlpool Ultimate Care Heavy Duty Gas Dryer " so probably just requires a simple 120V cord to run the drum rather than the heavy-duty 220 cord for an electric one, which I have of basically the same model. I think ours is like 25 yrs. old and all I've ever replaced was the belt that turns the drum.

Well done, young man. I was a Phoenix Rod and Gun Club member in the 1960s, early 70's and recall shooting at the old range. It was located near Skunk Creek, north of Happy Jack Rd. and just east of I17. Used to be good quail hunting there, as well. That was the outskirts of town. 😊 Of course, the area is all developed now. 😢

In another thread, I mentioned inheriting a gun from my grandfather. It reminded of this story about why Italian fathers and grandfathers pass their guns down through the family. An old Italian man is dying. He calls his grandson to his bedside. "Guido, I wan' you lissina me. I wan' you to take-a my chrome plated .38 revolver so you will always remember me." "But poppa, I really don't like guns. How about you leave me your Rolex watch instead?" Grandpa sighed. "You lissina me, boy. Somma day you gonna be runna da business, you gonna have a beautiful wife, lotsa money, a big-a home and maybe a couple of bambinos. Somma day you gonna come-a home and maybe finda you wife inna bed with another man. Whatta you gonna do then? Pointa to you watch and say, 'times up'?

The air in these parts has been a bit heavy lately, so I figured I'd lighten it a tad. 😉

GAME AND FISH NEWS Sept. 14, 2020 Arizona Game and Fish Department Gearing up for a hunt? Don’t forget the non-lead ammo Hunters asked to continue voluntary lead-reduction efforts this fall PHOENIX — Arizona hunters have proven their long-held commitment to wildlife conservation by voluntarily working to reduce the amount of lead exposure to endangered California condors, and the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) is encouraging all hunters to join the effort this fall. Hunters drawn for hunts in Game Management Units 12 and 13 (north Kaibab National Forest and Arizona Strip) are eligible to participate in the department’s non-lead ammunition program and are encouraged to pick up their free ammunition early, while supplies last. Information about the program was mailed to those who drew hunt tags for the selected units. Since 2008, 88 percent of hunters in Arizona’s condor range have voluntarily used non-lead ammunition during their hunts or, if they used lead ammunition, removed the gut piles from the field. AZGFD reminds hunters that if they have trouble finding non-lead ammunition, they can still support condor recovery by removing gut piles from the field that were shot with lead ammunition. Hunters that remove their gut piles (lead ammunition only) are eligible to be entered into a raffle that offers prizes including an elk hunt on the Navajo Nation, Phoenix Zoo Total Experience tickets, Sportsmans Warehouse gift cards, and other prizes generously donated by multiple wildlife conservation partners. “Hunters in Arizona have always been true partners in wildlife conservation,” said Allen Zufelt, AZGFD condor program coordinator. “Last year 90 percent of hunters removed approximately 4 tons of remains that were potentially contaminated by lead ammunition or voluntarily used non-lead ammunition. These successes are clear evidence of our hunters’ continued commitment to condor management.” The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, which coordinates condor management with AZGFD, has implemented a lead-reduction program in southern Utah. As the condor population has become more established, the birds have increased their foraging area and now use southern Utah heavily during the fall hunting season. Lead poisoning has been identified as the leading cause of diagnosed death in endangered condors and the main obstacle to a self-sustaining population in Arizona and southern Utah. Studies suggest that lead shot and bullet fragments found in animal carcasses and gut piles are the most likely source of lead exposure. Many hunters do not realize that the carcass or gut pile they leave in the field usually contains lead bullet fragments. Gut piles from animals harvested with non-lead ammunition provide an important food source for the condors and should be left in the field. Arizona’s condor population was reintroduced to the state under a 10(j) Rule, a special provision of the Endangered Species Act that designates the population as experimental and not essential to the species’ survival. The 10(j) Rule was used to obtain acceptance among communities in Arizona and Utah and assures that “current and future land…uses…shall not be restricted due to…condors” and that the federal government did “not intend to” modify or restrict “current hunting regulations anywhere…in the experimental population area.” Information on non-lead ammunition and how hunters can help is sent by mail to those drawn for hunts in condor range. For more information on condors and lead and a list of available non-lead ammunition, visit www.azgfd.gov/condor.

Lots of different cartridges for the Remington, too.

Seems to be the Hungarian answer to the Springfield 45-70 of about the same era.

Cool. I can't say I've ever heard of it and certainly never saw one. What kind of cartridge did it use?

Reading about some of the Kaibab history brings back some special memories for me, especially the area in & around the Big Saddle Camp, which still sort of existed the first couple times I hunted there. It wasn't until LBJ took office and Ladybird went on her "Beautify America" rampage that the BSC became no more.

And eating a bit more beluga caviar.

Nice shotgun. How did you acquire it?

You're likely right. Good catch. Explains why he dipsy doodled when wading. Maybe they had tangled back up the hill earlier, huh?

Bear was too smart. He clamped down on the spine and stayed clear of hooves and antlers. -- the elk's only defense. Might have had a better chance on dry ground where he could attempt to shed the bear by running, etc.

I've probably passed that spot a couple dozen times over that last 40 years or so. Hayden Valley was one of my favorite destinations for photos when I made my treks there each Sept.

Yeah. I didn't realize a grizz could swim that well. Plus, it sure knew where to bite to immobilize the elk.

I think it was produced in other calibers, as well. I just don't recall what they were. 🙄

Colt 1877 Lightning

We've already been down that road. Do a search.
