Ummm..... OK. It will be crowded up there, no doubt, Nick. Keep a patient & positive attitude, and HAVE FUN! Nothing like getting the family out for a little camping to kick the summer off, IMO. Explore a little and you can find great places to camp with solitude away from the lakes for peace and quiet, then go to the water for a little fishing and kid's crawdad time here and there. Good times can be had! S.

I agree that these days, moderation is in short supply when it comes to buying .22LR rounds (no pun intended.....). When folks find them, they tend to buy all they can. Some retailers have been limiting the numbers folks can purchase. I think the the retailer wants to do that, it is their prerogrative. Their business is their business to run. NO moderation/limits by the government should be done though, IMO. BTW, the Sandy Hook tragedy had nothing to do with this at all. Demand and prices started to rise way before that. S.

Eating Brown Trout should be illegal................. But of course in some fisheries, without culling-out some smaller ones the remaining never get to be Big Browns. (I'm sure you already know that. Not trying to start a debate here..... ) Looks like a great day, bo5954! S.

.22 ammo did not mysteriously vanish after the Sandy Hook tragedy. Prices started to go up way before that. GreyGhost and DUG nailed it. Simple hoarding has led to the inevitable short supplies and price increases. Just basic supply and demand at work (likely originally driven by unfounded conspiracy theories, based on the little research I did on the topic......). S.

I generally agree with the other posters. 400 tags really isn't that many on the Kiabab. No matter how many tags, safety should be the parent/guardian's job as opposed to G&F limiting the number of tags specifically for the reason of safety. As Lance said, pretty easy to get away from the crowds with a little hiking. Also sad but kind of true in some ways, trphyhntr! S.

I'm heading-up to the Kiabab next weekend for the 'second season' turkey hunt! I know the early hunt opens this weekend, but was curious if anyone has been up there scouting or camping recently. I'm assuming 67 will be closed until mid-May like usual. Any reports on the 212 or 462 road conditions? I'm going to call the forest service, but thought I would throw the topic out here too. Thanks! S.

Actually, that's a good point. Was it a felony or misdemeanor? It might not really "show-up" on your record anyway...... Bill Q. also makes a good point. Bottom line, maybe see if you can get 30 minutes with a lawyer to run the scenario by him and see what options there are. Good luck! S.

If this was a conviction in a court of law, the Commission would have zero jurisdiction or say in overturning it. Only a judge can do that. Coach, as Non-Typical Solutions pointed out, you're going to need a lawyer. The bottom line is that you want to appeal your conviction. There will have to be grounds to do that, and likely only a lawyer would have the knowledge to help you through the appeals process. Sincere good luck on this! S.

"But don't you worry, Bunny. Cuz' you's a killer....."

Good suggestions by all above! Another thing to consider would be a beginning fly tying kit. Could be a great way for them to get into that side of the hobby! I know that when I got into tying, it really hooked me (no pun) on fly fishing BIG TIME! Good luck! S.

I think you need to get your rumors strait.... That bogus story was proven incorrect and recanted by the original author over 10 years ago (just after it was started.....). Starbucks definitely supports our military in the form of LOTS and LOTS of free coffee! So good news for you then! You can now enjoy Starbucks coffee. S.

YES!!! Very cool! Thanks much for sharing with the site! S.

VERY awesome! Thanks for sharing the good times with the site!!! S.

Glad you guys had a good time! I love turkey hunting, and have yet to bag my first bird! lol Also, yes the guys at Y.O.U. do a first rate job at running their Jr. camps! Good stuff!! S.

VERY AWESOME!!!! S.

Umm.... OK Why even reply then? Lame..... S. Cuz im trying to be a premium member. Sorry, when i think Chinese I think about commie dog eating SOB's and buffets. I dont like any of those things. Seriously??? The question was obviously rhetorical (though not so obvious to you, I see....). How about finding another thread to hijack, please. Actually, never mind. How about not hijacking threads at all. I find your tag line ironic. S.

Wow. Not like the usual Lee's Ferry at all! Historically, the floods they have been creating have not had any negative effect on the fish. Did you talk to any of the guides or fly shops up there?? Just curious...... S.

To answer the original question though, a couple of places come to mind for me. My favorite Chinese place is Gourmet House of Hong Kong (around 14th Street and McDowell). For Thai food, I like Wild Thaiger on Central, South of Thomas. I've also heard good things about Thai Lotus (North 19th Ave), but have not tried it myself. I like these kind of threads because of there really isn't 'the best' place to eat food, just everyone's opinion of the best places...... Great way to discover new joints! S.

Umm.... OK Why even reply then? Lame..... S.

Here is a story that mentions Billy Currington backing-out. Frankly, I don't respect him anymore now..... I respect him less..... He agreed to do it, but only backed-out because of the hype/controversy??? Weak, IMO..... If you make a commitment, then stick to it. He obviously supported the cause in his heart when he originally signed-up.

Yes! Good luck to all hunters! Also, BIG kudos to Y.O.U. for all that organization does in support of junior hunters/fishers in AZ! Great job to all who contribute their time, resources, and passion!!!! S.

Yes, people get easily offended about things getting posted on the internet. No different than you being sensitive to their reaction, IMO. People post pictures, other people get offended and some comment on it. Right, wrong, or indifferent, that's just the way it is. No big deal, IMO..... Yes, it is good that we have this plact to rant on occasion! S.

So much for Taylor Swift then..... Good luck, man! S.

LOL...... Virtually the exact same post. Imagine that.... Google is amazing!

Do a Google search on "song lyrics ain't cool to be 15" and see what comes-up. I did it and there are several references. One is for a Taylor Swift song.... Is it that one? Good luck! S.
