Last year, I landed a 5B rifle with 7 points.

Congrats!

Outstanding! Nice ram!

Whenever you're out of the country, we need access to this button. Then everything will alright! :)

Might be that new Maricopa county regional park that's been in the pipeline: Vulture Mountains Regional Park. http://www.wickenburgchamber.com/nw-valley-land-will-shape-into-recreation-area/ http://www.maricopa.gov/parks/vulturemtn.aspx

You need to be licensed to transmit on the 2m HAM frequencies, but you can listen in and transmit on the MURS and FRS frequencies without license. FCC only regulates transmission on the HAM side, anyone can listen in.True, but these radios are FCC Certified for use under Part 90, which requires a license. The radios are NOT certified for use under FCC Part 95 which is required for use on GMRS and FRS frequencies, so it is not legal to use them for GMRS or FRS. The output power of these radios is also more than allowed for GMRS and FRS. If all you need is MURS and FRS, then buy the many basic radios out there without possibly violating FCC rules with the Baofeng. http://wb7tjd.org/wiki/FRS,_GMRS_and_MURS_(Radio_Services_under_FCC_Part_95_Rules)#BaoFeng_UV5R_is_Part_90_Type_Certified

I believe you have to be a licensed HAM radio operator to use the Baofeng radios.

Gonna be a soaker!

Unfortunately, I bought it on ebay.

Dang! Just noticed a GPS I recently purchased is $100 cheaper! Ugh!

Actually, they're calling for 1-3 inches of rain and up to 18" of snow in the White mountains. Additionally, sounds like its gonna park right over AZ through the weekend. This will be a great soaking storm!

Ever since easterners moved out west, this topic has been discussed ad nauseam. You guys already gave us liberalism....at least let us keep our method of counting antlers! Long before coues hunting was chic, mule deer hunting was king out west. More often than not, mule deer don't have eye guards. There is a big difference between a 2 point mule deer with eyeguards and a 3 point without any. Ford vs Chevy MAC vs PC Coke vs Pepsi Ginger vs Mary Ann ......carry on! :)

When everyone gets up in the morning all dressed up in their camo clothes and stand around the campfire for that one cup of coffee. Then four hours later, still around the campfire debating when to head out for the morning hunt!

Heading up in a few weeks and wondering if there is even cell service(Verizon) up there. Any hope on finding a signal? Thanks!

Yeah, kind of what I figured. Thanks!

Looks like another turkey tag!

That boy needs to be culled! Cool pics. Thanks for sharing!

By all means, do it!

Way to go!

It's not only here, but all over our daily routines. My job has me interacting with hundreds of people daily and for the most part, people are friendly and cordial, just trying to live their lives without being bothered. But with that said, there is a noticeable change in people. They seem more " on edge" or rude. Very short fuses with little patience. Condescension and rudeness has multiplied 10x. What's causing this? IMHO....Technology. Posting their problems on Facebook to get attention, nasty posts on Twitter, ridiculous internet arguments hiding behind an ISP. Kids walking home from school, head buried in their phones and ear buds in, without saying a word to each other. Families out to dinner with mom, dad and kids all texting their respective contacts with nary a word on how their day went. Cell phones with us 24/7/365. (Yes I'm guilty of this). Technology has changed our social skills. And its showing up in everyday life. Yes, I see the irony of my post using the WWW. And yes, I understand how it's helped us. But, we're quickly losing our God given gift of human interaction, slowly becoming savages. Anyways, just my observations from the field!

Got a text from some friends in 4A getting ready for the jr elk hunt tomorrow. They woke up to 2 inches of snow. It's gone now, but they say it's pretty cold!

Natural Gear has worked well for me through the years. No complaints and it doesn't require a second mortgage!
