Hadn’t even really thought of that. Should I? Maybe one of the other moderates will catch it and move it…..

Good on you @creed for even considering this topic. The VAST majority of voters just sort of lightly breeze over the 'judges' section of the ballot. My oldest sister was a judge on the Arizona State Court of Appeals for many years. (She retired a couple of years ago, but still volunteers as an advisor...) Starting the election season after her appointment, I used to get a kick out of seeing her name on the ballot and would tease her with a NO. That being said, we discussed the average sentiment of voters regarding judges. She said that statistically, it is basically consistently around 2/3 YES and 1/3 NO across the board on all judges regardless of political affiliation, record, scandal, etc. Because of the general apathy of the voting base, they tend to be basically bulletproof lifetime jobs (as far as being voted out goes). S.

Totally agree with this sentiment! For a long time now, my thoughts on bonus points in general, is that the overall bonus point pool must be SO large that the value of any single additional point is very watered down. Every time someone doesn't get drawn for a species; they get a point. Yay, so does, so does EVERY other person who didn't get drawn. Unless someone is in the group of folks with close to max points for a given species, it seems likely the value of any given additional point is quite low. Generally 'lottery odds across the board either way, IMO....

Cabela’s Disc-o-Cots. Designed as bunk cots, but can be used as singles. Great for increasing sleeping capacity in a tent. Got a lot of good use out of them over the years. Still in good shape, but zipper broke on one of the carrying bags Yours VERY cheap if you want them. S.

Good stuff!!! Hunting with the kids is absolutely the BEST of times, IMO!!!

I didn't intend to comment on the bear. Honestly, I didn't even read the story. Whether I'm OK with it or not, I suppose isn't really relevant. Sounds like they backed out and came back at some point (He didn't say "for days".... In reading his write-up it sounds like it was likely the next day.), and the rain made it impossible to track/recover. Sucks to shoot an animal and end-up losing it. Never happened to me personally but have been on hunts where it's happened to partners. It's a drag. I just saw the father daughter pics and thought it was cool.

Outstanding! Best of times!!!!

Not only are they big, but TOUGH, too! Two consecutive shots and that dude just sort of hop-skips along his way... LOL AWESOME!

Heck ya!!!! That's SUPER cool!!! S.

YES!!! My children are all young adults now, but I'm fortunate enough to be invited to help on a 6A junior cow hunt this weekend. Packed and ready to head-out later today! Can't wait! Freaking love hunting with the kids!!! GOOD LUCK, KIDS!!!! S.

Pretty good write-up on it. Lead weights and lie detectors: The scandal that rocked a Cleveland fishing tournament and became worldwide news (yahoo.com)

Oh boy, I’m definitely no expert. I think whether the water every day or not, it’s really gonna depend on how lush the feed currently is, and whether there is any heavy dew or rain to hydrate them.

Ah..... Bummer! Cool that your initial scouting efforts paid off! No single right/wrong answer regarding whether to continue to focus your scouting on the area you have already identified or to look for a backup. Maybe both? Check-in on that area for a couple of hours and see if you can turn those deer up again. Also maybe try to ID any water they may be hitting in proximity to where you saw them. Then after you've spent a couple of hours on that area, possibly spend a couple of hours looking at new country? Good luck to your son!

Hmmm...... Interesting. Good catch! (Strange that there are NO deer camps listed on their site...) Anyone planning on it should confirm with AZG&F and/or YOU prior, I suppose.

Absolutely check-in with the YOU junior hunt camp! Those guys are top notch and can provide some tips for the area. Good luck! S.

LOTS of different options and opinions, I'm sure. For me, I've found that lots of hiking, hot yoga 2-3 times a week, and low carb/sugar eating works best. I just can't do gyms/bikes/etc.... Good luck finding some thing that works for you! S. Edit: Never mind. I just realized you are intending to use 24hr (gym). Sorry.... Can't help you. Good luck, Kevin!

Is that a microwave??? 🤯 Looks like a first-class tent! Good luck on the sale!

I'm a fan of almost all music. Love the blue grass cover stuff. Here's one of my favorites from 20+ years ago.....

Anyone using an inflatable kayak for fishing? I've got a buddy that uses one (as opposed to a belly-boat or pontoon) on lakes to fish with, and he swears by it. Was up at Christmas Tree last summer with a bunch of guys, and kayak-friend sure did look comfortable and dry. Plus he was able to paddle around quite easily. I've been looking at some, and am sort of settling on either the Aquaglide Blackfoot Angler or Advance Elements StraitEdge Angler. (Leaning towards the Aquaglide, because I like the idea of two-person capacity if/when wanted...) Anyone using a kayak instead of pontoon or tube? Feedback, if you are? S.

DONE! Photography of Coues Deer and Other Wildlife - CouesWhitetail.com Discussion forum Sort of just did it without checking-in with the head-honcho, but I think she would be OK with it.

1000% tax on guns?? Ummm….. 😂

Always nice to see a picture like that. The local weather guys are bearish on whether it will produce significant rain up here, but who knows. (They often do NOT know... ). You guys in Yuma of course are much closer, so there's that....

+1 on some of the comments. Breath, farts, sweat, funk, bug-spray….. Just try to be down wind at ALL costs, IMO. To answer the question though, no, I haven’t come across anything scentless that is as effective as some good ol’ smelly Deep Woods Off.

Freaking awesome!!!!!!!

Yup, just realized the post count. Stand by....
