One of Aztec’s own got to go on a whitetail deer capture in South Texas.
Gary joined Macy Ledbetter, one of Texas’s leading wildlife biologist, on the wildlife management adventure, put on by Whitetail Domains. On the South Texas Ranch the team split up into two crews. The “air” crew used a helicopter to spot and net the deer. While the “ground” crew quickly retrieved and secured the deer for transportation. Gary was apart of the ground crew.
Watch video here.
Watch Gary with Aztec Rental, as he takes part in a recent helicopter deer capture in South Texas. We were sure happy to have him along for the ride.

Landscapers: Get A Leg Up On Your Competition.
Landscapers have you been thinking about going green? Maybe you have some clients that have started asking you about alternative fuels.
We have a few of our landscape customers that have told us, that some jobs they are bidding will only accept bids from companies that can do the job with “greener” equipment.
Here is an option to help you get those customers: The Ferris IS3100 Propane Zero Turn Mower
Ferris IS3100ZPBV3261
Now we are not saying you need to come to Aztec Rental right now and change you entire fleet out to Propane powered units (although we would greatly appreciate it). What we are saying is that you might want to think about getting at least one for your fleet, so you have a leg up on your competition.
How does it get you ahead? I am sure you can think of some reasons, but here are 4 simple ones:
1) You will be able to bid on those jobs that are requiring “greener” equipment
2) You can advertise that you are doing your part and have “green” equipment, which can be very attractive to some clients.
3) Some of you may know, but many cities have “Ozone Action Days” which bans the use of gasoline fueled commercial mowers before 1:00 P.M. Your company might have fallen victim to this and your business has been shut down during this time. The Ferris propane powered IS® 3100ZP meets all emission requirements by the Environmental Protection Agency, and will keep you operational during “Ozone Action Days.”
4) As we all know there is always talk about more EPA ”standards” or “greener” requirements being put into action, so be a ahead of the game and think about instituting a propane powered unit into your fleet.
There is also a bonus benifit for those of you in Texas. I am not sure how many other states are doing this but worth the research to find out. Texas Clean Cities is offering rebates to landscapers who purchase propane powered lawn mowers. The rebate can reach as much as $2,500 per unit. Think of the savings this gives you on the purchase price of one of these units.

Probably have seen some variation of this, but this one is pretty well done!
Walking Away?
I don’t under stand why so many people want him gone from the game.
Even with the lust affair that ESPN and most of the broadcasters have for the man, all the flip-flopping, and all the camera shots of Deanna Favre, you can’t tell me you don’t love to watch #4 play the game. He plays it the right way, appears to absolutely love the game and his teammates, and either way (for or against) he will do something spectacular!That was one hell of a performance the 40-year-old “old man” put on this year and in the NFC Championship game! He even caped it off with the Favre signature, as he did as a Packer & Jet, the last pass he threw was an INT.
Love him or hate him, fan or not a fan, one thing you have to admit, Brett Favre is one tough SOB! If you saw the press conference after the game the dude looked like he was 60. He had a nice limp going, probably had some bruised if not cracked ribs and his face looked like it had a couple of encounters with 250lbs NFL linebackers. Oh wait it did…repeatedly.
Brett Favre and the Vikings should have rolled and won that game running away. His last interception did not “lose” the game, it took away a shot to win the game right there, but he did not lose the game. Maybe some ball handling had something to do with it. Six fumbles in a game that puts you in the Super Bowl…Really?
In the words of the talented Larry Platt:
“Balls on the Ground, Balls on the ground, Looking like a fool with your balls on the ground!”
Even with that, the Vikings almost doubled the Saints in every stat category. But, as they say it’s not how “it” is done, it is if “it” is done, and Brett Favre couldn’t finish the “if”. So is he coming back?
He started EVERY game for 19 years, and those are NFL games not pop warner. Brett Favre had 4,202 yards, 33TD’s, 7 int’s and a passer rating of 107.2 in 2009, his best season ever? He was arguably one of the top 3 quarterbacks this year. He produced the most watched cable televsion show in history earlier this year when he played the Green Bay Packers. You want that gone? I am sure the NFL doesn’t.
Is this it? Is it finally over? I for one, sure hope not. I would love to watch the 40-year-old “gun slinger” have another run at a ring.
Just wanted my two cents worth on Brett Favre.
