You guys can continue to vote in the poll. Monday was just a meeting with the senator, but I am sure John would still like to see voting continue. The issue is not over yet. So if you feel strongly either way, please feel free to add your vote and comments. Also, you might to attend or at least watch the AGFD commission meeting today. I think we will be able to watch it online, although not the executive session part. Amanda

+1 I think he is a little nuts......why would anyone want to live in PHX? Amanda

LOL! Thanks for the support. Surely that's not offensive, just amusing?? I don't know, it might have to go away. But thanks for the laugh! Amanda

Wow, beautiful looking gun! Amanda

Thank you John for taking the time to go represent sportsmen at the meeting. I know several other conservation groups were there arguing for the bill as well. Thanks to all for your dedication, I know it takes a lot of time. Amanda

I really like those designs Jim! I like the addition of the grey ghost text and the fonts you used. I think I like #3 the best although I am not sure we need the text about it being the # 1 coues site in the world. I think I might like the last one better if it said The Grey Ghost rather than the real ghost hunters. Neat designs! Amanda

Harold Declay and Mark Oliva brought their giant bucks by the CW.com booth at the expo. WOW, what a treat that was! I took lots of pics. Thanks to you both for taking the time to bring your bucks and put up with all us gawkers drooling all over your bucks. We also had a 122 buck come by and that was great too!!! 150 - Harold's awesome buck from WMAT: Then we got some pics comparing the two bucks. And although Mark's amazing spot and stalk archery buck scores like 135, the 150 makes it look small! WOW, who could believe a 135 buck would look small? Both bucks really are tremendous. look at the difference in the bases!

Looks cool, but as has been said I think the backdrop makes it hard to see it well. Just the sheet might work great. Amanda

WOW!! What a great story and I can't believe I just saw this post!! How did I miss this for almost a month!! Thanks so much for the great writeup and excellent photos! I haven't watched the video yet, but I bet it's fun too. Amanda

I will be there Saturday, so come on by and say hello. Then Sat night I am going up to the unit 37B water project. More info on the water project: http://forums.coueswhitetail.com/forums/in...showtopic=17733

Mike, Try saving the design, email it to yourself, then when you get the email, open it up and then the link should be different than coues snipers. The link numbers should be different. Amanda

You posted the same link that coues sniper did. you have to save your design and then reopen it and repost the link. Amanda

Cool. I like it! Thanks for your work on that. If anyone wants to keep messing with designs, feel free. Amanda

A few pics. I hope to see some of you at the project. Wear your CW.com shirts if you have them!!

Gorgeous!! We just got rain at my house, probably some fresh snow in the Pinals though. Amanda

Nice bucks and nice video!! No video of you standing in your towel? LOL!! I can just see the driver's expressions as they went by! Amanda

Floyd Green of the Outdoorsmans asked me to post his opinion on this: Arizona Sportsman, Please support this legislation, it is one of the most important piece's of legislation we will ever have the opportunity to pass. I personally worked with numerous other sportsman, through out Governor Hulls election in an effort to have an opportunity to sit in the Governor's office and ask for Commissioner Goightlys appointment to the commission. I have done this numerous times over the last thirty years regarding other commission appointments and I can tell you first hand, the comments I am hearing from these previous commissioners in this forum is not reality. The truth is, that those that help elect politicians have input and all the rest of the folks get good government. Our state and our wildlife deserves better. Today's reality is quite simple. A group of hard working unselfish volunteers, that work on the behalf of all sportsman in the state of Arizona have carefully drafted this legislation in conjunction with our states finest conservation groups. To deliver this opportunity to you the sportsman of Arizona. Please join with me in contacting your friends and legislators asking them to support this bill. Thanks Floyd Green

Nice vids!! Thanks for posting the links. I hope you enjoy editing video and get to doing more of them with you new cam! Amanda

Here's a few: Coueswhitetail.com... more addicting than crack. Coueswhitetail.com... Once you've tried Coues, nothing else will do's Coueswhitetail.com... Because Carp are kinda dumb Coueswhitetail.com... who ever thought chasing 110 lb, half invisible deer with Einstein's IQ and can apparently read minds and see into the future could be so rewarding? Coueswhitetail.com... and to think your wife/husband felt neglected before you joined Good ones!!! Amanda

+1 I think Chris is dead on. The reason this bill is even being discussed is because MANY sportsmen felt they were not well represented on the commission in the last 5 years. This bill sets up a process that ensures a public interview process. It puts a lot of the burden on sportsmen(through this board) to interview the candidates and evaluate their qualifications. Then the board makes a recomendation of 2-5 names from the list of names that the governor provided them. So the governor sends the names to the board, the board evaluates them, then sends back some reccommendations. The board thus does not make the final selection, the governor does. Points from the bill: 3. Requires the Governor to deliver a final list of applicants to the Board within five days after the application period ends. The Board must then review the list and applications, and interview, evaluate and recommend candidates to the Governor. 4. Prescribes a public interview forum for Commission candidates, as follows: a) If considering candidates to fill expired Commission terms, the Board is required to conduct public interviews of candidates by November 15 of each year. By November 25, the Board must recommend to the Governor two to five candidates from the Governor’s final list. b. If considering candidates because of death, resignation or removal of office, the Board must conduct public interviews within two weeks of receiving the Governor’s final list. Within one week of the public interviews, the Board must recommend to the Governor two to five candidates from the Governor’s final list. Amanda

LOL!!

Welcome to our two former commissioners. I am glad to see those intimately involved in the process give their opinions. Amanda

I Love seeing the wonders of AZ through your lens Doug!! Thanks! Amanda

That's sort of in the same vein as another one a friend sent me: CouesWhitetail.com Often Imitated, Never Duplicated But I would rather we stuck to something about the amazing deer we all love. Amanda

Thanks for the report!! Sounds like a great evening and congrats to Kathi on her Javelina tag!! It was just her birthday afterall, so it's a perfect gift. Amanda
