    Hunter attacked by dogs

    I generally fall into the camp that most of the time the problem is with the owner. Some breeds get reported more often since they can do more damage, but I've also seen plenty of little dogs that bite. We have dogs and are very active in training them and are vigilant with the dogs while...

    24 AZ Elk Draw

    As @Tmcgarrigle said it'll take a few weeks usually to update those points. Yes, one point per each species that you did not draw for.

    24 AZ Elk Draw

    Welcome to the "We are all excited" Arizona elk draw thread! We also are waiting to see what hits and when. With the earlier submission entry date this year, I'm expecting the results will be a week earlier than normal too. First week of March hopefully.

    Bourbon

    It can definitely be expensive and can become overwhelming. Have you replaced bourbon with something else? Something more difficult to obtain than Pappy like a sheep hunt?

    Walk-in Cooler.. Trailer Build

    Great build and write up here. Few items to consider for future enhancements - solar panels, batteries and 12v lighting for convenience. Can take that to higher levels with enough lithium batteries, inverter for 110v, solar etc so that generator doesn't run all the time or at all. Also what...

    AZ “pioneer” season for sheep

    I'm curious about the demographics on this. How many AZ pioneers are there? How many are active hunters? How many sheep out here are "one horns"?

    3rd Row SUV Experiences

    VW is an Audi with less snob factor. They are the same vehicles.

    Hello from MI

    Welcome from a former Michigander, now Arizonan. Have you hunted elk prior?

    Legalized robbery that needs to stop.

    Popcorn mode on... Why do people that love to hunt there live elsewhere? Wyoming would have more residents applying for tags if the state was more attractive to live there with jobs, cost of living, etc

    Why shouldn’t I get the Trijicon TenMile?

    I will also add that the illumination helps if you have a hard time seeing the reticle at low magnification on the tenmile. Choice of red or green depending on the background colors in your hunting area.

    Ninja Woodfire Grill

    Flat by itself is good for corned beef and pastrami, or the "boiled dinner" with potatoes, cabbage, carrots, etc. Some people prefer the flat due to less fat compared to the point. Personally I buy the packer cut brisket with both parts. Then if I want to split it for other uses or smaller...

    Bourbon

    Lots of good choices in this thread. My standard is Bulleit 10, it is good for most uses. Surprised we haven't had Oceans suggested. Another one to look for is Leopold bros.

    Bulleit 10 is my standard.

    Back Country Outfitters in Pagosa Springs (Operated by Stone Pass Outfitters).

    One of my relatives has been working with them for a bunch of years and she says they are the real deal. They have a bunch of options and will tailor the amenities to you. I trust her opinion, she and her husband are pretty hard core outdoors people and hunters. I haven't used them myself yet...

    Impressed with Kings Camo

    They make a good product and their prices are more than competitive. Usually you can find pretty good sales too. The soft shell jacket is one of my favorites and their shirt and pants are durable for AZ wilderness.

    Portable Generators--What Brand?

    I have a couple of the Honda 2200's that are converted to propane. Hondas are the generator to beat in my opinion, but they are expensive. You may find what you are looking for here: Genconnex They also have tri-fuel versions now. I am not affiliated with them just have had good experiences...

    Pastrami Brine Kits

    This is a Katz deli knockoff recipe, it is our family favorite. We typically smoke instead of steam but try what you like. Pastrami Rub Makes. A bit more than half a cup, enough for a whole beef brisket about 18 pounds with some leftover Takes. 15 minutes. Ingredients 2 tablespoons whole black...

    Hood/ball style vs cowboy style hat debate over for me
