Stops lightning from entering too right.

I did see it, we spoke through PM’s the one he has is a full size rifle and I think would be to big for her to handle. It was a very generous offer, but I don’t want to take a rifle just to take one.

do the whole dang state. Might be the only way to protect it from ourselves!

Not at all, never been doing better. Just sucks to see the chit tier posters

How tf are you derelicts even arguing about this? There’s nothing to argue. Making up scenarios in your head to get worked up about.

I heard not till after you get a number from a bish at denim.

Wow, you mean you are allowed to be proactive and do this on your own without hourly reminders leading up to the deadline???😉

Do they have to give people a final update deadline warning? They have in the past, but I don't think it is required. I would prefer they didn't and that people have to take accountability for their own credit card updates and issues. AZGFD, and the social media crowd, not reminding everyone every 30 seconds of deadlines only helps the draw odds of the responsible crowd.

Finally after all these years the opportunity presented itself to get on the famous lake st Clair and boy did it not disappoint. Only got to fish for a couple house but caught lots and the quality of fish here is incomparable. After catching smallmouth out of the black River I knew they put up a fight but hook into a 5-6 lbers is a totally different story. Say I’ll never forget! Hopefully my father will get to experience it with me soon cause I know he was a little jealous when I sent him pictures. If you every get the chance or have any doubt to not do it. THIS LAKE IS A MUST ON EVERYONES BUCKET LIST. (Don’t know why the pictures loaded like that)

A few months ago I sorta teased about needing a taxidermist for a lion. and now the rest of the story..... My brother is relatively new to serious hunting. He does have a few deer under his belt but has not been "serious" about hunting until the last few years. In the last few years he has been fortunate enough to have some pretty good success on the predator trail though. To date he has several doubles both fox and coyotes and even a 1 day Az trifecta (coyote, fox and bobcat all in the same day). Considering he only goes out a couple times a year he is doing pretty well. In March we made a run up to Strawberry to do some work on our cabin. We were hoping to get a day of calling in but with a big weather front coming in and the cabin work taking longer than expected our plans got a little derailed. Regardless of not being done with the work, we set out early(not really) to try to get in a couple stands before the wind got ridiculous. Big winds of 15-25 mph were predicted for most of the day. First stand, big beautiful area that should have produced. Nothing. DRY DRY DRY everywhere so not too high of hopes on seeing critters. Second stand was right next to one of the few water holes that had water. on our approach we kicked out a couple ducks. Made a big racket. They dive-bombed us a couple times showing their displeasure as well. Coolest sound ever. I don;t remember what kind of ducks they were but I have never seen them before. So I get my brother set up and I head around to set up the call and get in position. I turn on the call and start to get.. BAM!!!! 5 friggin seconds in he shoots! I keep calling for another 15 minutes and nothing. I stand up and look over and he gives me the thumbs up. I walk over and dead coyote. I don;t know if that thing was heading to water and just had the worst timing in the world or if he was camped there and jumped up when the call started but whatever, dead coyote. So we gather him up and head for our next stand. Wind is howling by now. We head down into a canyon and set up by a dry waterhole. With the canyon set the way it was and the wind blowing we only had 1 approach for coyotes. They would have to come straight over a mt against the wind. Easy path to circle around us and wind us. Pretty much a dead stand but we tried anyway. about 12 minutes in I gave up and was about to call it when I saw a flash on the hillside. Sure enough a coyote was trotting across the hill and heading to my right to circle us. I quickly adjusted and tried to get a shot. No dice. I thought about jumping up to catch him circling but was really just too lazy to do so. I sat and watched for a few minutes just in case he was stupid enough to take a short cut. He didn't. My brother was to my left and saw me shift and get on the scope so he also shifted and was watching the hill. The call was about 50 yds in front of him in a bush. As we stared at the mt for about 3 minutes we heard a big crash. My first thought was "dang wind just blew the call out of the bush". I look to my left at the call and... WHAT THE HECK???????????? What is that? cat. ITS A CAT!!!! LION!!!!!!!!!!!! Dang lion was on its hind legs stretching up in the bush swatting at the caller! I start my swing left and BAM!!!! My brother shoots. Lion flops and is down. I am on it now. Lion starts to get back up so I shoot to anchor it. "click" Not kidding. I had nothing in the chamber. For those of you who know my history with lions this is REALLY funny. For those of you who don't know, this is pretty much status quo for me and lions. It is truly a comedy of errors so many times. Fortunately my brother is a better student than I am a teacher so he fires again. Dead lion. I started screaming like a little girl "LIOOOOOOOOON!!!!!! We got a Liooooooon"!!!! I really don't know why as it was far from my first. but probably because it was so unexpected. And it was really cool that my brother was threre The best part....we had TWO cameras running. The worst part...BOTH cameras failed. I HATE tacticam. With a violent passion I HAAAATE them. They have let me down more times than I can count. Turns out he didn't need the second shot. Both shots were double lung kill shots. I wish he hadn't taken the 2nd shot because skinning it was a drag. it was like skinning a bag of chunky pudding. So now he pretty much just needs a bear to finish of his Az predator list. Not bad for a "novice". G&F says 5-6yr old female. It was the last lion for the unit before it closed. Overall a good day. Thanks to Adam for help with prepping it for tanning.

Who cares, wont be anything left to hunt after this fire season.

yeah its that little thingy that flips up fienstien was worried about

"Only those with private inholdings will be allowed access to their property, " While I wish they had closed the forests sooner, what about those with leases? I'm not worried about miners like me who'll be locked out, the govt will expect their lease payments.on time. But if you had a cattle lease you might need to.haul in water.

No idea, but with my 7 aunts, 4 grandmas and 3 ex wives all putting in this year I am pretty certain I will at least get a tag......er...I mean SOMEONE in my family will get a tag.

Yep. We had to pack go bags this afternoon, stage essentials, and are working on a plan in case we have to bug out. Fortunately, several friends in town have called/texted offered up places and help.

It sucks but they need to just shut down all the forests until we get some rain.

Man you insult everyone don't you. It was a question on what I herd, figured it was wrong, but thru it out there to see if anyone had any other info. But of course same trolls insulting everyone. Go the f away trout man if you can't have anything intelligent to say. Now I agree with rosislider, if your not smart enough to make sure your card is always current, then try again next year. Thanks for everyone input except for one.. Hope yours gets hacked.. Just my opinion on my post.

Sent you a PM on one free to you.

I would but I wanna put a camera there and cant

So he's hot rod on bait shop.. Billy ray gay...

Parents got evacuated from the Bear fire. The Sherriff came and said gtfo the fire is coming. The firefighters have never witnessed conditions this terrible. There is really no way to stop or extinguish any of these fires. All they can do is try to prevent them from burning structures at this point. There are too many fires burning across the state and not enough resources to help battle them. Scary times folks.

Trout (gay Bass) fishermen generally have attitudes. The pipe hitter quote is Hilarious

I will be in 5A to the west of u. If u have any luck and need help packing out just let me know. I will be there the for the whole early archery season.

Crank your sizing die down about a 1/8th of a turn until the problem goes away.
