Wow Was able to get online from home tonight ,its been since at least 10/6/2018. I usually hit the favorite every night just in case it works. yesterday it didnt tonight it did. what did you change Amanda. The others that had the problem should be able to now I assume as well.

wasnt there a guy about 15 or so years back here in AZ i think at Bartlett lake that got pit on his tongue playing with the snake. I thought he tried the jumper cable trick. it was on the news. He was drunk.

and people give me shoot for shooting out my truck window :) curl up in the fetal position under a tree and die. ;) Always wondered the same thing. now that I am older I tend to go out with others and never myself. Snakes arent the only problem, broken leg heart attack etc etc. last thing I want is to wake up with some yote chewing on me I tend not to think about it until I see a snake. if I see a snake I am done for the year.

I remember those days, back in selaha and the weenas valley buddy of mine use to bail alfalfa late 70s. on the small lots we would just use a trailer and hooks. 3 guys one guy driving, one guy picking up bails from the ground and passing to the guy on the trailer. I was on the trailer one cutting, buddy grabbed bail on ground swung it around, I sunk hooks into it with a rattler wrapped into it. nothing you an do, your in motion and its too late. you have a hooked 80-90lb 3 wire bale and your facing a snake face to face and your mind doesn't think to let go of the hooks that fast. not to mention the momentum of the bale hitting your body midsection to swing it around and stack it on the pile. when its all figured out by your brain you drop everything and scream like a bitch and no one has a clue whats going on. later he got a harrow bed that made it much better the good times back then.

seen a ton of Rattle snakes, caught a ton of Rattle snakes. I hate them, got bit once but didn't puncture, was snow on the ground in some spots up by castle creek quail hunting. think was sunning on the rocks bit my pant leg and got stuck. put the .410 up against his head and shot him off. 2 times bear hunting. buddy and I were walking , he goes dont step on the snakes( as in plural) so I did. it was just getting warm out we were 1 mile from the truck in heavy manzinita. he took a stick and shoed one away held the other one down and we ran like heck to a boulder and stayed the till dark. best one ever was on the 4 peaks road going towards mount ord bear huntng again(on the top) driving through a reveine that you couldn't open your doors and ac blowing and windows down little toyota 4x4. I hear this loud hissing. said shoot punctured a tire. buddy goes stop i'll look out the window. rolled it down stuck his head out the window hitting the side of the reviene, yelling no tires good whats that hissing noise. just pops his head back in window and a snake is looking at him face to face 3/4 of the way up the ravine maybe 2 foot away at the most. he literally shoot his self. youngest daughter looks for them , shes never found one. I havent seen one in 15 years unless I was driving or in a boat. I finannly got to the point were I wasnt worried about them. then 4 years ago we were out archery deer hunting in unit 8, cold and rainy. guys on the side of the road, we asked he if needed a hand. he goes No just looking for rattlers. I laughed said its too cold. he goes nope got one al ready when the sun comes breaks the clouds they will be everywhere. he worked for USF&W service doing a research on them. when we got back home I bought cots never slept on the ground again up there.

Ok let me get this straight... Your a trucker driver and Black i can understand, but I have never known any Black Mob guys, Ive known Black Gang Members but never a Black MOB guy. That is cool!!!!! Cant wait for the book should be really good

dang Bob kinda old to be on your period aren't you Late bloomer? try some midol after those long nights

Great pics my favorite part of the state, not counting north rim ;)

We'll on the bright side you can always give her a broom and tell her to get in the Kitchen were she belongs ;) seriously kids are kids, dont force them to do anything they dont want to do. I been fortunate with our 2 girls, we had some problems where kids would pick on them thats life. we just told them kick there butt and dont back down from them. when I say WE it was my wife who said it 1st. we would back them up 100% from the school bullshit if it followed and if you got suspended you wouldnt be in trouble from us. 3 weeks later she clocked the kid, kid went crying like a bitch. called into the office and I laughed said good for her . that will teach HIM from picking on girls. Same deal with our other other daughter. told her from day one stand up for your self. dont take shoot from anyone and we will back her up 100% if she didnt start it. problem is , is that bullying policy at school. they got these kids so pussy whipped its ridiculous, they get suspended for being picked on ( you know everyone gets the participation trophy deal.) our boy on the other hand has Downsyndrom he has never been picked on at school, never been made fun of at school. when someone attempts to all his friends back him up. when he 1st started in school I was always worried that he would be picked on or teased and it never happened. kids are pretty cool.

I think those re the mattezell mnts in the background with the snow. if you click the full image you can see the sheer cliffs. that would be on the west side. I am thinking pine mountain area or north where the picture was taken.

Thanks for that link. he made it look simple

Just got back from tempe a few mins ago there was a break in the clouds and south mountain ws covered in snow about 3/4 the way up. couldnt see the very top as there was clouds . It was cool as shoot to see. I think I only remember south mountain having snow on it maybe 3-4 times since 82

Ive seen a few up around mt trumble on the north rim. thought I was seeing things. went back to the truck got regs legal to shoot, called the thing back in and missed.

Every kid is different. only thing you can do is take them out every time you go out and let them play around. our 1st daughter as the age of 7 was putting our bass boat on the trailer and off the trailer on crowded summer days during fishing tournies etc etc. one shot deal never had an issue. heck she did it for a bunch of buddies as well when they fished solo. if she could have backed a trailer up it would have saved a ton of us alot of walking back down to the ramp. ;) Kids do some pretty cool things at any age you just have to let them try it. youll know if they can or cant as time goes on. take them out and let them run the dirt roads in the truck. I always let my kids drive as soon as we were on dirt roads from a very early age. My Dad used to take our son out all the time on his quad, dad would let our son drive it and he did good. for a 10 year old with downs syndrome thats pretty cool even The Warden wanted to get him a quad to drive around on out in the desert if I could have gotten a remote hook up to kill the motor. when you feel they are old enough let them try in an area that has alot of sand, like a big river wash. but you have to make sure you take them out and let them drive it with you on the back for a while.

No it started with country music, when people started listening to Rock they didnt want to do alcohol or drugs cause life was good then. country music = "yeee haw lets go f some pigs"

Not necessarily could have been injun's lots of injun's in those parts I saw some pictures of it Im thinking back in the late 80's early 90's.

Didnt a bunch of them off of bloody basin road(east side of freeway on the mesa after the creek) get shot and left to die back in the mid 90's? if I recall it was almost a dozen of them.

theres 2 parts to this. #1 everyone wants to sell there stuff for just under new cost saving the tax they say., but when the same person wants to buy something they want it at 50% of new cost. #2 the other problem is most people bought guns when the looney toons were in office and they expect the prices to stay the same. good example is ruger #1's they still make them why would I buy a used one for 100 bucks less than the price of a new one?, ruger 77rs people ar selling them used for 600 and up they aint worth more than $400 same with the older Remington 700 bdl's, 1100 shotguns glock pistols etc etc. they are generic guns, now if your talking a nice winchester old school 101, 1960's and early 70's era Charles daily O/U, or a pre 64 winchester even a older revolver thats a different story. I dont bitch about prices, if I like the gun i'll buy it. as far as the younger generation its of no interest to them unless it is Tactical or black. (with the exception of Longshooter he likes them if there Black ;) ;)

Ah now I under stand. Thanks alot. I dont remember iit very well when my Dad retired he retired in Washington State and we never set foot there till the day he retired., he was stationed in Japan my whole life (I was born and raised there) They may have used NY as thats where mom and Dad were from, just cant remember and they only went back 2-3 times in those 16 years. or maybe back then it was not needed to be done?

Wenas valley in Washington state we used to drop hay off to the elk at the feeding station, G&F always asked the ranchers in the area to do o during heavy snow years. was a blast to do as a teenager, buddies uncle own a huge chunk of the wenas valley mainly did Alfalfa. elk got so thick in the late 70s there that they put up elk fencing everywhere. always had to replace fencing. they started in the later years coming in around oct. Anyone that has never been to a real elk feeding station should try to go its freaking awsum, only thing better is a real salmon run back in the 70s. cool picks Also the one in Jackson had a video a long time ago, one of my friends who lived there used to feed elk with hay bails with a tractor pulling a trailer in the snow. pretty cool vid as there was a ton of bulls and big bulls

I read that last night on the G&F website, didnt understand how she could claim she was a res in AZ if she was say stationed overseas or in another state., what about drivers licence and stuff, can Military use a Az Dl if They are stationed in another state where she drives.? Kinda new to this? My luck she will get stationed in Alaska or Montana then never come back to hunt with me. Bigbrowns, thanks for that tip Thanks for the info guys.

Daughter and I were talking about it last night, she goes to basic in july maybe earlier gets out for 14 days around hunting season. told her I was going to put for her and if she gets drawn and cant make it then she can donate it to hunt for heros or one of the organizations. This year wont be a problem as she will still be a resident. however next year I'm not sure about unless she gets stationed here in AZ. might have to put in for non resident tags for her then. which brings up another question can she donate a non res tag????

just north of the white tank mountains in the early 80's. was hunting yotes in the hassiyampa(sp) river about 200 yards north of the canal right before the pump up station on 275th ave?. could have sworn I saw a decent 5x5 walking across the river bottom. went back hunting again sure as shoot he was in the SRP Canal walkling around next day the was a article in the republic and on Tv about it. the canal was under construction. I thought I read he made it to just north of palo verde power plant use to see them(small Herd) in the winter across from the dam every year at horseshoe lake when crappie fishing and duck hunting. saw them a few times on the south side of the dam(which is now a indian artifact area). seen them in 20c in the valley a few times last one I seen was 2 years ago hanging out with some horse and cattle saw them a few times just north of yellow cliffs on the east side while fishing as well.

Erik usually hangs out at corner archery on 51 and northern north west corner in a stripmall. he coachs there and works there. I havent been there in 8 months so I dont know if he's sill there. If not Rhonda at C/A will know what to get. Erik is a really cool guy easy to talk too

No grief from me, I cant intentionally would yotes either , I dont like to see things suffer. but love killing them ;) oh yeah that 4x4 you posted a pic of watching cars a week ago, we have one down in the desert we ran into doing the same thing, unfortunately I didnt have my bow kids and I were yote hunting. crested a hill and 4 does bedded watching cars 40-60 yards from highway. does got up walked right by us with a very nice 4X4 in tow. they watched us call yotes for a while. we were headed up to unit 8 and believe it or not to hunt right off the freeway to ashfork for few bucks that like to hang with in 100 yards of the highway. but didnt want to head up cause of the snow so we stayed south
