ok since no one else has posted anything in any of the "we want to see North of the Ditch pics". Went with a friend who had the late tag. This was a Thanksgiving day buck. Green scored at 210+

Made some great friends and had a great time helping on Aj's hunt . I'll let Dan tell the story hint it was a successful hunt.

I figured nobull was back and all the arguing crashed the site

Me too!...I thought, "maybe the drones have reached AZ!

Ill start! What happened? What did I miss? Classifieds are going to blow up now. I saw some post of guys missing the CW site, to funny. Saw there was another possible poaching case with a rifle on a stud muley.

.

There was a guy on cl selling them . I think we worked for an exterminator

Success. Was starting to get a twitch… LoL

With my knees I felt the difference just taking the tablets. You can also get bone broth on Amazon for 20-30 bucks.

I want to publicly commend Hoss50 for walking up to the podium and speaking to the commission. Hoss50 and I arranged to meet there so I could purchase a pistol from him. My wife, a rancher friend and myself drove from SE Arizona to speak to the commission regarding the petition. Hoss50 is not a houndsman, birddog hunter, or any other type of canine hunter. He is a hunter that understands that even if its not his specific outdoor passion or what i refer to as my way of life, we all need to step up and come together on these issues. We are all being attacked!! Hoss50 stepped up to that podium, unprepared as far as i know and did a great job with his 2 minutes of time. Hoss50, Thank you sir!! I was a nervous wreck, I am not a good public speaker, and did not make the best use of my 2 minutes. I was not able to get all of my speech into the time frame. Here is a copy/paste below. Commissioners, thank you for the work you do to up hold the North American Model for Wildlife Conservation. In response to the petition to ban hunting with dogs in Arizona. This petition is an anti hunting agenda, make no mistake with what their end goal is. I am opposed to any changes in the current rules regarding the use of dogs and hunting in Arizona. The petition trys to create a scene depicting animals such as jaguars, wolves, Ocelots are in danger when hounds are used in those areas. This cannot me further from the truth. There is no documented evidence of coyote hunters using dogs that have killed a wolf in inadvertently nor has their been any jaguars or Ocelots killed by houndsmen inadvertently in our state. To say that this COULD occur is like saying the sky could fall at any moment and what are we going to do about it. The use of tracking devices on dogs in no way manipulates or guarantees the outcome of treeing a lion or bear. Tracking devices do however help insure the safety of our dogs. Hounds Risk to Public Safety- There are more dog attacks on a daily basis across the US that are non-hound related encounters than there ever will be with hounds used for hunting. As a matter of fact I would bet my paycheck that if you tallied up the breed of every dog attack in the US for one yr you would be hard pressed to see where a hound was involved. I occasionally encounter people while hunting and the most my hounds want to do is lick them and be petted. Hunting with dogs has been a part of our ancestral roots dating back thousands of years. The partnering and training of a dog is the epidemy of fair chase. If you have never trained a dog to scent trail one or two specific species please do not make accusations you know nothing about. Again the use of tracking devices does not manipulate or increase the probability of catching game. God made man the apex predator- Its sad to see how our society had detached themselves from god, nature and the land. Hunting and specifically hunting with my hounds is not only an ancestral tradition but is a god given right that is being threatened by people that believe its ok to let their kids stare at their phone for hours on end or don’t let little johnny know that someone killed that chicken he is eating for dinner. Where is the outrage in society that allows these people to slowly kill their children? In closing I would like to reach out to the people on the petition and tell them lets do something more productive with your time and money. Lets join forces and remove all the feral donkeys and horses that are killing thousands of acres of habitat and stressing the native wildlife here in Arizona. Lets join forces and fund projects that removes invasive junipers from our public lands. Lets join forces and remove salt cedars from our streams and rivers. Our wildlife is a god given renewable resource, and thanks to hunters, houndsmen, and fisherman is thriving today, don’t infringe on my ancestral heritage and my god given rights.

Well, it nearly took an army but we got it done. I don’t have the time or the energy to write it all up now, I will have to do that later. But suffice it to say that @1denogean, @bonecollector, @wish2hunt, @trphyhntr and a group of others all pitched in big time to make this happen and they will forever be part of our sheep army. @lancetkenyon thanks for the range time making sure the gun and charts were ready when the time came. This was our longest shot ever, 542 yds. We killed a good ram and it was amazing for my kid to experience. But more importantly my kid got to see men being men. He got to experience what it means to be part of something and to have others support you in accomplishing a goal without taking any credit for themselves. Here are some pics, I will write up the story later.

Not only should it not be further restricted but trapping on public land should be brought back and predator competitions. I hunt because I love to pull the trigger and see stuff die, not going to lie. Sure I spend days at a time hiking miles and seeing something different every footstep. Camping alone, setting up the tent and camp, marinating meat days ahead to be cooked over a fire followed by too many beers. I've killed plenty of stuff and at 72 hope to keep doing it for another decade at least. Never gets old. Each sunrise and sunset is a blessing to be enjoyed. Up and out an hour before dawn and a few times back to camp hours after dark. For some reason I keep going long after my hunting buds have all moved away. We need more opportunity not less but there is a plethora of it out there if you are motivated. You can literally hunt something every day of the year in Arizona if you have the gumption to do so. If you don't care for some methods then don't participate, but as a sportsman it's every hunters obligation to support it. Don't be silent. First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. —Martin Niemöller

What ever happened to the giant Morman lake burger

I could see that being more of a self serving statement from the outfitters. Probably just doesn't want a bunch of new people learning the areas that they hunt.

Negativity. Sad.

Yes there guides, but they took me as family. Kinda like if I get the 40b tag for sheep were going, does that me you and wish2hunt are guides?? I just love the good people who love the woods

Couple more
