Buddy wants to cash in his 6 CO mule deer points. I have 8 elk points. Thinking about doing a late season combo hunt.
I burned my deer on a late season plains hunt. We had a blast but I’m not convinced he can draw it with 6, I drew with 8 and it was a fluke. Would like to maximize...
I’m reading and researching 5th wheel brands. Have any of you had any experiences with wear and tear of cross country travel? I’ve read on a couple different forums how the highways just shake them apart after a few seasons. Trying to see if one brand stands above the others.
Trying to teach kids how to be respectful and hunt legally in small acre private is tough. A 20 acre parcel here is huge. Houses are everywhere and you have to be 150 yards from any structure.
My kids have permission from a nice older landowner. We take care of her lawn all year long...
I finished up snack sticks today. Did just over 100lbs this year. I was going to be short about 1 length of 19mm casings to finish. So I ordered a 2 pack of LEM from Amazon. They will make a turd but it is not an enjoyable product to use or eat. They are tougher than the Waltons and...
I’ve been getting some questions on what am I doing for next year. After, working with Dave this year I realize that Elk in the mountains may not of been the best species to chase. Not everyone has the same abilities.
I am putting out feelers to see if there would be interest in a 2026...
I shot two elk this year with these. Not really impressed with them but both elk did die. Only one was recovered in time to salvage the meat. The other wasn’t found till 5 days later. Admittedly, it was a gut shot and my fault but there was never a drop of blood so we weee unable to track...
Shopping for retirement houses and the recent debacle with the neighbor’s property posed a question in my mind.
Can you afford to buy your house from yourself?
I bought in 2016 and refinanced at a 2.25% in 2020. We built a barn and refinished the basement. Payment is 1100 a month. When...
@CPAjeff @Big Fin or any other small business owner
I’ve been thinking of starting a small tractor type business. Is it better to personally own the
equipment and have the LLC lease it from you. Or is it better for the business to own everything so it can be depreciated?
I already own...
We have the opportunity to buy the neighbors land. They came to us and want us to buy it. Price is negotiable, it seems it’s more important to them for us to get it than how much it’s actually worth. We have been tasked with coming up with what we are comfortable with.
This is a hard...
With much hesitation, the rifle I had built for the Veterans hunt, is for sale.
It’s a Rem 700LA trued and mated to a 24” fluted Bartlein #3 1-9 twist. The bolt is black nitrided with a m16 extractor. It comes with a Shrewd muzzle brake and thread cap for it. It is threaded 9/16-24. It has a...
Had some close calls in the past but finally got to all come together today. Picked up this nice Coho on a 10 color lead core. To say his arms were tired reeling it in would be an understatement. At 11, he is becoming a good first mate with launching, driving, and starting to run lines...
I have an older PSE Dream Season DNA. It is circa 2012 ish and the limbs were replaced under some type of warranty 5-7 years ago.
I’ve been shooting it and I keep consistently hitting low. I’ve adjusted the sight about as far as it will go. First few shots it comes up and hits the dot...
Well the boy and I took on a fun project this spring. The neighbors had a hugely big, in fact the biggest, no body built it bigger blind. Unfortunately, 20 years of neglect had taken its toll on it. Black ants and Father Time had eaten away most of one of the 16’ supports. I offered to...
As some of you know I drew a cool tag in AZ. Shooters choice, any weapon, in the peak of the rut, big bulls, low tag holder hunt. The kind of tag that only comes along in a blue moon.
The issue is the rules, which there are plenty. Which, are perfectly navigable for me with my background...
There is a portion of me that is intrigued by this. I have a AZ Champ permit that allows me to use one. I have never exercised that permit but this year there is a place that kind of equipment could be utilized. A portion of the unit is Archery only. There is a significant trophy benefit to...
Has anyone participated in this? I applied my kids for it in the draw and my son drew. It looks like a fun time for a first elk hunt. Hopefully, they can help make it a successful experience for him. It’s the Oct 10-16 5B South and 6A youth cow tag...
As this winter was bitterly cold for me, I have been daydreaming of Arizona. All the hunting one could want and great year round weather in the foothills. Perfect for when the kids move out and the wife and I can start enjoying us again.
Friend of mine suggested shopping for a place now...
Lifetime warranty, just can’t get them to focus for my old eyes. Seems like I may need something stronger. No scratches, glass is so clear, it’s like it isn’t even there. 1500 or trade for Swaro EL.
Shot this rutty mule deer this year. I have heard stories of stinky inedible mule deer but never experienced it. My family actually prefers mule deer over Alfalfa fed whitetails. Have eaten a fat region G and Arizona pine country one with great success.
This rutted CO prairie one...
