    Vasectomy

    I've had haircuts that took longer than my vasectomy took. Go in on a Friday, take the weekend off and enjoy firing your first round of practice blanks to empty out the gun.

    Good insight gang, thanks for sharing.

    Does anyone use a thermal while scanning before switching to traditional optics?

    I have thought it would be helpful for tracking down deer or elk after shooting them like when archery hunting. Definitely a no-go for hunting purposes or "taking wildlife". Doubtful Fish and game would buy that it was being used for solely tracking the game after being shot versus using it...

    Cattle....

    Some of the areas I hunt birds here in AZ have free range cattle and I've seen some muleys in the same area from time to time. I have not scouted the areas as thoroughly as I would like to and plan to start scouting them better. Generally speaking, for hunting muleys and assuming I'm doing my...

    How close have you snuck in?

    This may sound crazy, but I've even tried gluing shag carpet to those goofy looking foot shoes with the toes and still couldn't muffle the sound of the Arizona pea gravel squishing under my feet to deaden the sound. Same result......still not quiet

    How close have you snuck in?

    The issue I have in the desert isn't the sound the shoe makes, its the rocks moving under your feet moving against other rocks that makes the noise. Not sure how socks would make any difference. Would love to hear ideas others have that squelch the rocks squishing with every step.

    A couple of rookies and their lessons

    Interesting write up, sorry your brother got sick. Side note, I grew up in Cuba, MO and played baseball tournaments in New Haven (And other towns in the area). Small world.... I live in Arizona now and in our high country, the bigger bucks won't be with the does typically. Smaller/younger...

    Best midsize Pickup?

    Are you referring to the Dodge and Chevy/GMC trucks that drop down to 4 cylinders and rotate them but can go back up to 8 cylinders when you need the juice? Never had an issue with my old 5.7 Hemi. Would love to hear details on how the Chevy/GMC trucks do with it. Was looking at a Chevy 6.2...

    Does anyone use a thermal while scanning before switching to traditional optics?

    Bird Dogs help hunters find game all the time. Using bird dogs is the biggest violation of fair chase in all of hunting IMHO. Yet purists currently use and have used bird dogs for decades hunting birds. They spot the bird, point them out, flush them for you and fetch the downed bird when all...

    What am I doing wrong?

    This is a great thread - amazingly informative. Was muley hunting this past week in eastern AZ and saw tons of does. Weather was hot during the day (low 70s) with lots of sun. Does were in the gulches near the lower part of the mountains. Young bucks were closer to the does. The few Big...

    Low back issues as you age

    Having lifted weights nearly 40+ years of my life (still do3-4 days a week), training in college, playing collegiate sports etc., I would never recommend going super deep on squats later in life in your 40s and beyond (I wouldn't go deep and heavy beyond the age of 29 personally). I'm still...

    Thinking about hunting solo....

    I like hunting alone sometimes. Do it quite often. No worries. Just make sure you have some form of communication in the event of an emergency.

    Arizona Deer Draw Started

    Nothing for me yet but still remaining hopeful. I had 3 bonus points (ya, I know that's not a lot) and in the past I have gotten drawn about every 3 years. So I'm due (sort of based on past experience). But nothing yet. Patience grasshopper....

    Older Tacoma or Frontier? Help me choose.

    I went from a Tundra with the 5.7 to a Titan XD gasser with the 5.6, and there is no comparison between the two trucks when it comes to doing work like towing or carrying heavy loads. The Titan XD blows the Tundra away in that regard. I liked the Tundra a lot, but I love the Titan XD. I would...

    Older Tacoma or Frontier? Help me choose.

    Every automaker has their issues. I've owned Ram, Ford, Toyota, and Nissan. Nissan is very under appreciated in terms of quality and reliability. Taco's are good trucks as are Frontier's. Go get a good deal, drive it, and maintain it. If it breaks, fix it then go back to driving it.

    Are diesel engines overrated?

    Yes, they are overrated. Owned both gas and diesel, much prefer gas. Hard for me to justify a diesel unless towing really heavy loads on a weekly basis.

    Which Half ton Pick ups are yall driving?

    I've had a modern diesel (3 years ago) and I have zero interest in owning one again. I know its right for some people, just not for me. Gassers only for me going forward.

    Which Half ton Pick ups are yall driving?

    Anybody got any reliability and personal feedback on a current Chevy 6.2 engine in the Silverado 1500? That's what I'm looking at long term.
