With another thread raising questions about foreign interests and their negative effects, it made me think of the issue with the water in Vicksburg and where that whole issue stands. I read up on it a few years ago and just looked again and can't find anything that looks like a solution. Does anyone know where some up to date, valid information can be found?

Bug Lives Matter.

So if someone is in a tree stand, blind or stumbles across a really big bear, what would be considered a reasonable time to watch/wait to make sure there are no cubs in tow? It would suck to have a bear come to water, drink and spend 5 minutes there, take a shot only to have some cubs come strolling in. Do the cubs typically stay within XX yards? I realize that not shooting sows removes that potential disaster but seeing as how the good units max out the quotas the 1st day, it isn't the norm. Thx,

Thank you all. Sounds like it's not worth risking it and just stick to the boars.

Not when you can legally pump out billions and billions of gallons of water. Even when doing so drops the water levels below the levels that is required to serve the surrounding areas and towns. Which is what was/is supposedly happening. Hence the issue.

OK, I deleted 3 replies to that one.. You can't tee one up like that and not expect people to swing at it.

Powerline Exterminators We kill EVERYTHING!!

Yeah! Yippie! Yessss! Woohoo!

A friend sent me a pic of this AZ Black rattlesnake the other day and it got me wondering, how big or old do they get before they darken up? I have never found one over 3' that wasn't very dark to totally black. She said it was a little over 3'. (She's been around LOTS of snakes so I believe her) It almost looks like it could be a female that recently dropped a litter. So, what's the biggest you have found prior to them darkening up?

I'm curious how GnF got involved with the cat unless they thought it was killed in AZ. Seems like it would be USFWS that would have problems with it. And yes, they do what they want, when they want to. I think it was listed as a CITES I animal at one time. If it still is... well, you said you already have an atty.

Meh, It's hard however to do a cover on one of the most incredible, iconic voices of all time. Having said that, Disturbed - The Sound of Silence just ended and I love that cover.

https://phoenixtowingservice.com/car-safety-tips/arizona-trailer-towing-laws/ Length, Width, Height The size limitations for towing a trailer in Arizona are as follows. The height cannot exceed 13.5 feet. The width limit is 8.5 feet. Length limits are specific if less straightforward. For a trailer, 40 feet is the maximum. For a motor home, 45 feet is the maximum length allowed. However, the combined length of the vehicle that is towing and the vehicle or vehicles being towed cannot exceed 65 feet. Triple towing is permitted but only under certain circumstances. You can triple tow with a fifth wheel trailer, provided the overall length of all three vehicles is 65 feet or less. Brakes and Weight A trailer that has an unladen weight, meaning an as-delivered from the factory weight with empty tanks and without any personal goods loaded in, of 3,000 pounds or more must have trailer brakes. A breakaway switch is a requirement on trailers that weigh more than 3,000 pounds. Trailer Passengers Arizona is one of only 11 states in the United States that permits riding in all of the following: a towed fifth wheel trailer, a travel trailer and a pickup camper. State Rest Areas Overnight parking is permitted in state rest areas only where posted and provided the state rest area is open. In Arizona as of 2010, 13 of the state’s 18 rest areas that are operated by Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) are closed. The following are reported as open by Arizona Vacation Planner: Sentinel: Interstate Highway 8 between Gila Bend and Dateland Burnt Well: Interstate Highway 10 between Buckeye and Tonopah Texas Canyon: Interstate Highway 10 between Benson and Willcox Sunset Point: Interstate Highway 17 between Phoenix and Camp Verde Painted Cliffs: Interstate Highway 40 near the state border with New Mexico

I had never seen it before last night and I have to say, it's pretty darn cool to see. It may always be there but it took me 50 years to look. You can see it with 20X but at 60x, it's amazing. After dark, low in southern sky, left of Jupiter.

Well since there is no stopping the kids, here ya go. Let the jokes commence...

Crickets.....

Urghh, now see what you started? Now eat your veggies then off to your room. And no more internet!

It's all good. As long as you don't call it a Timber rattlesnake! I have kept a few of the AZ Blacks, Cerberus, and they do tend to be a bit on the cranky side. They are usually standing up glaring at me as I leave the area. I think they are oddly beautiful and the larger ones are quite impressive.

Wow! If you run across one that big again, keep it. It's worth some $$$.

Not unless Jimmy Choo makes work boots.

The area you mentioned gets hammered now. Five years ago it was a different story and I could spend an entire weekend in there without seeing a single person and it was one of my favorite places to go. Now it gets the overflow from Mt. Ord. and you will find a vehicle or two on every turn during archery season.

He did my last deer and will be doing the next one too.

Based on what I saw earlier this week in 23S, some giants will be taken this year.

Good topic. Renewal by Andersen gave me a bid for 27,000.00 for 9 windows. Two of which were solid panes. So glad I didn't ask about the sliders or french doors. Still looking myself.
