    Getting out of California

    Retired in April to the Show Low-Lakeside AZ area. Loving everything about the place. Very friendly folks. Very conservative. Nicest summer I've ever experienced with occasional monsoon storms. Unlike CA it's green and comfortable in the summer. They say we get some snow here.....6800 ft...

    ID 66/69 Muzzy

    Took a wild swing at this hunt after NOT drawing my CO 61 muzzy tag with 25 NR points. Sure are heck, I drew. Start date of October 1 should be helpful. I'd rather motel hunt this unit if possible as I will likely be hunting solo. Hope to drive up from AZ once to scout. Anyone have any...

    CO Compliant Loads

    Well, so much for the best laid plans. After 25 years of waiting....I did not draw the unit 61 muzzy elk tag. Pretty gut punched right now.

    Colorado…

    25 NR points wasn't enough for unit 61 muzzy elk. Completely disappointed.

    How much to air freight your mounts home from New Zealand?

    Thread drift I know but......I was in South Africa a year ago. Took cape buffalo and zebra, that's it. Trying to keep cost down and save space, I'm doing a euro on the buff and rug for the pony. So not a big crate at all. A broker/shipper recommended to me quoted me a price of $2300 over 18...

    Anybody that’s been ever had trouble in Africa?

    I completed my fourth trip a year ago this week. My first was 1998. I hit it off with my PH so well that I started booking hunts for him. Over the years he's become one of my best friends even though we don't see each other often. I helped his son get an internship at a winery I worked with...

    7-08 Loads with 131 Hammer Bullets?

    My powder for 7-08 for over 30 years has been H414. You never hear folks talk about that one much. Also use it in 375H&H and .243.

    Retirement state?

    Congratulations on your retirement. I've been retired for a month and we left Commifornia and are settling into our new home in Lakeside AZ.....about 8 miles from Show Low. Love the area. Very conservative area and we feel our money will go far here. We thought Cody WY was going to be our...

    CO Compliant Loads

    Thanks to everyone for the help. Been in Lakeside AZ (8 miles from Show Low) and LOVE the area....and people. Obviously our world is pretty upside down at the moment but we're making headway. Probably got about 85% of our stuff squared away. Loving our new place. I've already located what...

    CO Compliant Loads

    Hoping to draw my unit 61 muzzy elk tag this year. I just retired from the wine grape business that would never allow me to be gone in September. I have two options: TC Express .50 sidelock. TC Impact SB .50 inline. Just bought the Impact from a buddy and am intrigued by the inline 209...

    Who has an insulated garage door?

    I'm building a house in Show Low AZ now and I'm doing insulated doors on the garage. I've got a pretty big wine collection (30 cases) and won't have a wine cellar. Hoping the garage will suffice.

    Your first shoulder mount

    Damn sorry but no pic. It was my first A zone 4x4 blacktail from the early 90's. I gave it to a very good friend and his teenage son has it now.

    Fleeing Californians and Property Values

    Not much to add. We were in Show Low AZ almost two years ago looking to buy. We told the realtor that we were from CA and looking to buy something for $300k cash. They said that's the standard line they've heard for years. We are moving there in April.

    CO point ask

    I'm sitting on 25 NR elk points. I've been a grape grower for 43 seasons and could never go during prime time. I have a buddy with one less point and we're thinking about doing the two year system....one hunts the other is support each year. Prefer first rifle but we both have muzzleloaders as...
