    Rivers are Running!! Fill them lakes up

    What’s your source for estimated SWE storage for each basin? Asking because I want to know, not to challenge. Even based on those estimates the Salt side would need to spill roughly the entire storage capacity of both Verde lakes… (the sediment trap, and Bartlett). Just sayin…

    Ever seen this movie? True story, and seems similar, but I’m no medical expert… A Beautiful Mind

    Optics for kiddos starting out

    The original Bushnell Legends were incredible glass for the $$. They made 10x42 and 12x50, both tripod adaptable. Can’t speak to current models, I’m talking about the ones from 10+ years ago, Like this- https://www.ebay.com/itm/125537707984?hash=item1d3aa167d0:g:aAoAAOSwQs5i2GqZ&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4A%2B6tU5QfLPeffplNWizETi0ZYYsBQ8D8eYHDrWwtYzFZ5AXIJ4Ft1KFkkb3Y9DSfYchhO5gj773%2BX%2FTQJl27Q4DKCimkwjGtFr5a22euwvAWVbB%2FSONOvQeqrDOEJqTtBT%2FZMfvcr%2BJaMtmO87%2FYE41WWDRRTHVHBAYa8F6NOr%2BD3rCt9rKMWEtBVJrgycMG6AUr5KTmNuKA9Uud6IbLXxD%2BezfXRQTxnp%2F6mLexiyp3e8Yfd3Inle%2BXaT45ofPPrzSTSUiNw5jQCU7eeHTSNyk2uW4J6th0tgsY3V7aRed|tkp%3ABFBMtNvZ4f1g

    Need Help.. Missed biggest deer of my life

    4-6 feet high at 400 is 12-18 MOA. You could gorilla tape a potato onto the end of the barrel as a suppressor and not be off by 15 Moa.
  10. If you want a real response, send it to the commission in writing, and request the commission to investigate as an agenda item why fees aren’t charged up front. If it’s a state law, request that they pursue legislation for an exemption. After your letter is received, follow up at meetings with public comments requesting an update or status on the agenda item. Send the same letter to the Director. Public comments presented can’t be discussed or commented on at the same meeting. 3 minutes, tops. Know the meeting rules, it helps. If it’s really in statute, they’ll respond ARS xx-xxxx, if it’s code, they’ll respond it’s AAC xx-xxxx, etc. Any of them can be exempted for the draw by legislation, code, or rule. It’s not rocket science.

    AZ is sad

    NM draw is simple.... Pass out tags to landowners, draw what’s left while excluding non residents from many of the hunts. No points, bonus or preference. They could do it with paper apps in a basket at the state fair and it wouldn’t take more than a day.

    Full fee up front solves it all.

    Late October bucks!

    Beautiful bucks... congratulations. Looks and sounds like a great multi generation hunt. FWIW... First shot impact on the second buck was low, basically hoof level, as called by the spotter. NOT high, or anywhere even near over his back. The only thing “high” was trace, which is expected by anyone who’s shot or spotted. Even a little bit. If you’re gonna shoot that far, practice further. Some audible commentary in the video isn’t confidence inspiring as far as practice and familiarity with shooting the distances involved in the video. Past around 400 yards, neither is a f’n 270 or 6.8 anything...

    The virus

    “All of my family members work in essential businesses.” would have been a much better description based upon your replies. I assure you, I’m not stupid, nor am I uneducated.... I haven’t argued yet. All I’ve done is ask questions. You haven’t answered where.

    Just for reference. I wonder if Thanksgiving was a “solo house affair”? Do tell...

    The virus

    I just wanna know why the family business was willing to put themselves at risk to make a buck off of “entitled jack wagons” instead of telling them to put a mask on or get the xxxx on. Also somewhat curious how half the family got the Rona basically at once without any big gatherings.

    There will always be Cameras on water!

    How are the birdwatchers gonna pimp the trail cam pics outside of social media to guides and/or potential clients for the big $$ payout? Print ‘em and f’n meet in person? A tag holder who participates in grey or black market opportunities based on illicit trail cam pics at the very best risks having his trophy removed from the books, negating the whole bought and paid for big dick trophy. It could come to light years later. The animals in AZ fall under the purview of The Department, and belong to the RESIDENTS of AZ. Implement a free permit and registration system for cams used for non-hunting observation purposes. No label, or tag, whatever, pull it, leave a note that it can be claimed at xx office for 30 days. If it’s unclaimed, pull the card and use the images for Department research purposes.

    The virus

    Curious what you and your family do as an essential business, where, and why you allow individuals to enter your place of business without a mask instead of providing a mask or turning them away?
  20. Personally seen a cow Tatonka taken with one shot through both lungs at 80 yards with 223/55TSX. Rib in, rib out, exited, one dead butt Buffalo stumbled about 20 yards. Coues are no more bullet proof than any other animal. Take out vitals, you’ve got meat. Miss the vitals, and you’re in for a rodeo. Stick to broadside or favorable quartering shots, she’ll do fine.

    Lost AZ Gold

    Pretty sure if there was any “lost gold” in AZ with any type of history, written or verbal, it’s probably been found and silently sold or pawned by tweakers by now. They’ve got more time and energy than any of us. A guy would probably have more success figuring out how to stake new claims for coal mines to fire power plants located in virgin wilderness areas...

    Hungry Mountain Lions

    Not saying it’s the case in this case, but any dang fool that thinks a mountain lion won’t study and learn how to prey on humans in urban fringe, or other highly trafficked sanctuaries, needs to read “The Beast in the Garden” by David Baron. It’s easily some of the most interesting and riveting non-fiction I’ve ever read, and roughly the last 25% of the pages are references. The flip side of that is I personally glassed up momma lion and 3 non-spotted semi-adult cubs sharing a wt gutpile on the third day of what used to be the second wt hunt that ran for 10 days in Unit 23.

    In search of Civil engineer

    If you worked them that were know it all a-holes for 35 years, they may not have known it all, but they knew at least a little more than you. 😉

    In search of Civil engineer

    The market is what it is. At the moment, Civil PE’s aren’t likely cheap, starving, or even a little hungry.... nor will be home building contractors or labor. The amount of work required for a PE doesn’t matter. The amount of time to do what you want done vs. other billable hours is what matters. I’ll translate for you.... a silly high price means “go away, you’re not worth my time”. As a side note, selection or offerance of professional civil engineering services based on price isn’t legal, last time I checked. Good luck.
