    Career advice?

    This makes 40 years for me as an electrician and I don't believe it matters which trade you choose. Your pay will always be tied to your effort and knowledge. Effort when you're young, and knowledge as you get older. High wages are a natural byproduct of those (increasingly rare) traits because...

    Now Hiring

    Reading the New Mexico forum the other day made me realize that we have something that others here might need. We have been fortunate to have been awarded several federal construction projects in Yuma Arizona, Tucson Arizona, El Paso Texas, and Laredo Texas. Yuma and El Paso are underway now...

    Unit 45 Deer Rifle Hunt

    My experience has been that bigger deer hold to rougher country so East is where I always seem to end up, no matter where we start out.

    Unit 45 Deer Rifle Hunt

    I would have a plan for both the South and North part of the unit, hunting the North end first. If your not seeing good numbers of deer you can head South where they will be.

    Unit 45 Deer Rifle Hunt

    I have been in that unit 4 times in the last 7 years and have noticed the deer are pushing out earlier each year. In 2015 and 2016 the best days were around the 27-28th. By 2018 the deer were on the south end of the unit by the 25th. I wasn't around last year but heard it was similar to 2018...

    Volunteers

    Back in 2007 a buddy and I entered the World Coyote Calling Championship which was held that year in Williams Arizona. During the orientation the contest organizer said that volunteer coyotes were legal to be entered into the contest. Not knowing what that meant I asked what a volunteer coyote...

    Any business owners file for PPP?

    Our loan was funded today. We used a regional bank and from what I am hearing, the larger the bank you used the slower the loans were made due to high volume. Good luck to everyone!

    Hunting Tents

    Like everything else in life there’s a right and wrong way! Build the outside frame and ridge, drag the canvas over the top, and insert the wall legs from inside. Davis used to have a video of a 12 year old kid putting one up single handedly.

    Hunting Tents

    I bought a 10 x 12 Davis Wall about 10 years ago, great tent. I paid for it by selling hunting gear I didn't use anymore. I cut a notch in the floor for the stove

    Unit 54 Elk Summer Range

    I'm hoping to get some information on where the 54 winter elk are coming from that show up on the west end of the unit near the 93 highway? I have had the pleasure of being in 54 for late deer and usually there is an abundant elk herd wintered over there but I'm not sure if they are moving north...

    Any business owners file for PPP?

    I didn't take Tristates comments to be anything more than advice from one business owner to another, and certainly not personally. We run about 70 employees with 50 or so in the field, 10 in the office, and another 10 fringe employees that I consider special circumstance. Those last 10 employees...

    Any business owners file for PPP?

    Tristate, you sound like a seasoned business operator and probably a good one. We run a family business and have done so for almost 30 years. We have seen our share of ups and downs and during those normal swings your advice makes sense, but these are far from normal times. I don't mind taking a...

    Any business owners file for PPP?

    Back in the 1970's my mother refused to accept welfare because it was "For poor people", the clothes I was wearing were given to us by neighbors and had already been worn by my three older brothers. Sometimes we "borrowed" entire meals from our neighbors to feed our family. Under normal...

    Elk bugling in Sept

    OTC tags in Idaho can get you into elk but the bulls are call shy unless you stay in cover and get close. Last I checked there were some decent tags left for purchase but I believe they recently raised their NR prices. I have hunted archery NM the last few years and the potential to have a...

    CV-19 Government Overreach

    I think it's fair to apply some context to the subject being discussed here related to re-opening the economy. Trump, like anybody else, should be judged by his actions and not so much by his clownish behavior when he is performing in front of the white house press corps because that's what...

    YAMAHA VERSUS HONDA GENERATORS???

    We have had a dozen or so of the Honda 2000 inverter generators and have never had a major repair on a single one of them, the most common issue is guys over filling the oil and fouling the spark plug. When we run parallel units we use the 5 gallon boat style tanks and after market gas caps with...

    Is Your Job Affected By This CV Positive Or Negative?

    Our work continues unabated at the border wall and our other projects for state and local governments are still moving forward so for now at least we remain busy. The rest of our area (Las Vegas) is hurting!

    Hunting disasters

    And sadly, just one more... Our annual Idaho deer hunt, a guy that had attended annually as a spotter and all around camp helper finally decided to hunt that year. First morning out of camp he spots a pair of young bucks running a canyon bottom and takes two off- hand shots, the second one drops...

    Hunting disasters

    Hunting Archery Elk in New Mexico a few years ago with our regular group. One among us was late coming back in after the morning effort which wasn't unusual as he's a die hard kind of guy. A unknown pickup pulls into camp with our hunter laying on the back seat in obvious pain, it seems he...
