Picked up a 2018 Pro 4X on clearance. Best truck I've ever had... despite the minor annoyances with interior trim. Drove Chevy's for 25 years b4 that. Have a tendancy to hold onto a vehicle & drive my money's worth out of it. That's not changed, as I don't plan on changing that any time soon.
Am starting to slow down myself, am pondering how long I'll actively be able to navigate the field. Have invested alot into this sport, realizing it is part of who I am. That won't change. What's that old saying: "You can take the guy out of the field, but not the field out of the guy"...
Geared up a couple of years back with some camping/backpacking supplies. Bottomline is most of this stuff has never been used, & it's time to move it down the road.

Retired 5 years ago at age 62, earlier than planned. It has worked out & I'm thankful for the time. Health insurance was a big issue. Able to find a CO-OP, & utilized it as major medical paying out of pocket for incidentals that didn't meet the $500 per deductable.
Trying to explain how...
Lost Angel in Oct of 2019, 6 weeks after Dad passed. It was a roughtime. This was her last duck hunt. Water was cold & she didn't want to retrieve. Didn't push her. We are at a stage in life where having another puppy would be a hardship with the traveling we have been doing. Miss the...
Am still working on a box of CCI that I bought 30 years ago... Have about half of it left. Worked up a new load for my .300 Win Mag last fall using them. Had no issues during load development, have been storing them in a gun safe here in Phx.
Excellent, glad to here that. That was me last July, after drawing a DBS permit in AZ. The second half of last year was dedicated to getting into shape & developing a new load for Dad's rifle. Best of luck with the upcoming process. Let us know how it's going.
Grandson drew a general rifle tag for the Panguitch Unit. Left us some "wiggle" room b4 Mt antelope draw afterall. (Will be passing on that one & focusing one this hunt). Will have to do some preseason scouting to look around & get to know the area a little better. This hunt will be during...
Check out Outdoor Class, especially Cory Jacobson's University of Elk Hunting. It is loaded with info on finding elk. Have hunted them since High School & have been succecssful with rifle, bow, & muzzeloaders. Learned quite a bit from this class & was impressed with it. Well worth the $...
Fall draw is a good time time to pick up an extra bonus point, youth hunts slated for the fall & Jan. Best advise is to get the hide off of them soonest possible & let them cool down. Straps are great on the BBQ with KC style sauce.
Excellent draw! Was right where you are now last July when the AZ DBH results were released. Drew last tag in my 2nd choice unit after 30 years of applying. Decided to hire a guide right off the get go. According to AGF surveys there were 10 class IV rams in my unit. It became my goal to...
