  1. Why is this administration so contraire?

    Who's buying?

    They're sheds we've picked up and decorated the fence and.......sheds, with.

    Water holes

    Using a green water tank will help inhibit the growth of algae. The waterer should have some means of escape for birds, squirrels and other to get out or the tank will turn putrid with a dead creature in it. Good for you for keeping water in it, you are absolutely right about the wildlife becoming dependent on that source. AZGF did a study on this a few years ago and found deer and sheep will die waiting at a known water source that has gone dry, rather than going to another source just a few miles away.

    Things that go bump in the night...

    I lived near that intersection long ago..Beverly St. and Desert Steps Dr, but only saw them at Colossal Cave where I worked in the '70's

    Water holes

    Not illegal. And wildlife will smell the water and algae immediately and come in. I had 50 acres of mixed permanent pasture and forest up north. Raised horses and had water tanks I had to haul water to almost daily. Put a 300 gallon tank in a draw below the house and 5 bulls moved right in and stayed around it for months. After a couple weeks, they got so used to me, they wouldn't even get up when I came to refill it. Now if an archery hunter had approached me and offered to build and keep watered what JOEDKILLA had installed, I would have jumped at the offer of having one more water source for a couple horses. In exchange, I'd allow him to hunt there if drawn, or sell him a discounted landowner tag if I had one. Would then be up to me to put the horses up during the hunt. Had a couple Navajo brothers help me out once when my truck broke down on the Res. In exchange, I gave them perpetual written permission to archery deer hunt on the land, Get out there and knock on doors at the ranch houses, meet the men and offer to help out with fences or water tanks, projects if you're drawn in their units, you might be pleasantly surprised by them.

    Anyone remember this?

    12 hours of hard labor (.35cents an hour)on the ranch and 2 weeks of pestering the grandparents for a ride into town to the Western Auto Store. When a carton went to $5, I thought there was no way anyone would pay that.

    Trailer Service

    I'm offering a service for hunters, campers to get their trailers road worthy or customized and avoid costly breakdowns. Not sure that fits under the term 'Commercial Dealer?' But I do appreciate the opportunity, thanks for the PM's.

    Which Scope for ML

    As long as you only use a spear or longbow for archery season. LOL that's the spirit, and I do use a longbow, but would probably have better success with a spear.

    Which Scope for ML

    Here's a thought, why not use use iron sights like our fore-fathers did? Isn't a hunt with a sense of anachronism the intent behind the ml season? Certain to have my head handed to me for such an outrageous concept.

    Deer In The PHX Valley

    Not counting the White Tanks, closest I've seen deer to the valley is New River RD and Hwy 74 But I bet there are some on the alfalfa field at night near Lone Peak and 303

    Remember these ?

    Reminds me of some of the metal tags on dads mounts from the '40's and 50's. If you didn't like your deer, you could just take the tag off, shoot another deer and put it on another rack.
  19. Spent the last several days in the hills west of Tonopah, retrieving and moving trail cams and a little varmit calling. Got pics of some big bobcats and after about 40 minutes of calling, a big bobcat came into within 35-40 yards. But I was after a lion. Headed back to break camp and load the horse and hit the road for home. Got on the Sun Valley Pky and at about 6;15pm and just a couple miles short of Bell RD, an animal came out of the brush and stepped into my lane. Holy Crap it was a mountain lion! I braked hard and just missed it as it walked north across four lanes, but not much traffic. Wasn't the biggest lion in town but was headed straight towards Wittman, passed the Shell station there on the parkway. I'm after a lion, but tread marks on the rug might be a little suspicious. Here's a partial pic of the bobcat I saw The other day.

    "Packing Jobs"

    Sorry Swarovskicoues, thought you were looking for facts and not a rubberstamp, next time I'll lie to you if it helps. But here's some free advice and you can thank me later. Apply for this position you want with a licensed guide and gain some experience in the field, get paid and heck, you might even learn how real guides operate. Just trying to help keep your butt out of a world of hurt, must be my fatherly instincts kicking in.

    "Packing Jobs"

    Thanks for the laugh. I'm as disgusted and frustrated as anyone with the gov. They want to stick their nose into every aspect of your life. 2 years ago I started looking into outfitting part time and be compensated for the outfitting I was doing for free. The research was worse than eating broken glass. But there it is, your welcomed, don't forget to shoot the messenger.

    "Packing Jobs"

    I dont recall him asking for "info", but rather asking if anyone wants him to pack out or glass for them. "Wondering if anybody knew about getting a job for hunts to be a packer....." Just so happens I know something about it, here's the law. Take it or leave it, this is your government at work. How or where did I mention politics? If you want to guide or pack under the table, that's your business. But I'm old enough to know how quickly things roll downhill with one mishap you weren't covered for.

    "Packing Jobs"

    The OP cares he asked for info. If you want to help others for free, knock yourself out that's what friends are for. You want to earn a paycheck doing it, jump thru all the hoops the licensed guides and outfitters had to navigate. Once you learn how difficult it is to be a licensed guide or outfitter, you'll have a new appreciation for them.
