Welcome to the site! Lots of good information to be had here. There are several guys from Flag and Verde Valley on this site who spend lots of time in 6A, and I suspect some may be willing to help a bit. Of course, there is also 6ANut too! Sounds like you've done some homework. You definitely have many of the high-level basics down. I am no expert in the unit, but like many on here and who have lived in Arizona for MANY years, I've spent some time there from time to time. My son was lucky enough to draw a Jr. Cow tag there this fall! The only advise that I would give is to check-out the Quiet Areas (Rattlesnake and Pine Grove). Putting a 1/2 mile or so between yourself and the closest roads into one of these areas is a great way to get away from the majority of the people! Good luck! S.

Looks like another GREAT success!! Awesome! Sorry I couldn't be there this year, but will try again next year for sure! Thanks for sharing the pics and write-up. S.

AWESOME!!! I'm a novice turkey hunter (late bloomer.....) and have never even killed one yet! This post is an inspiration to keep trying!!! Thanks for sharing! S.

VERY cool!!!!! Awesome for you and the kids! Thanks for sharing! S.

Gorgeous birds! Great pics! S.

Didn't say I put all my faith in them nor did I certainly say that they have nothing but my best interests in mind. I only said that they have been voted in. This is the way our democracy works..... I try to stay as active as I can in local and national politics and vote my conscience each time. I'm guessing that is what you, Snapshot, and anyone else who is truly interested in our country does. Anyway, I'm not here to debate that. I simply was responding to the topic of MYRA, and my feelings that it doesn't seem all that negative to me. Sincere good luck to you in your lack of faith in your representatives also. Hopefully during the next election, whether national or local, you can get your voice heard loud enough to impact the change on things you are looking for. S.

I don't like having laws rammed down my throat either. Unfortunately though, as long as we live in a democracy there are going to be laws that not all people agree with. The representatives that the majority vote into office handle it, and hopefully they vote the conscience of the constituents that put them there. (Again, of course 100% of people will never be happy...... ) That being said, it looks to me like this particular topic will absolutely be a matter of choice. I didn't see anything anywhere near making it mandatory in any of the literature I read on it, either from business news sources or from the .gov site. It says NOTHING about it being mandatory or compulsory, hence no throat-ramming here. You do have a choice. Nothing to 'opt out' of on this plan and no government 'manipulating' anyone's money. Only a new option for folks to save for retirement. S.

Huh?? I'm finding it hard to understand the basics of a MYRA account through all of the Tea Party babble in that article...... http://www.forbes.com/sites/maggiemcgrath/2014/03/04/dont-wait-for-obamas-myra-the-best-places-to-save-for-retirement-if-you-make-less-than-six-figures/ http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/01/31/will-obama-proposed-retirement-account-plan-muster-bi-partisan-support/ http://money.cnn.com/2014/01/29/retirement/myra-accounts/ http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/30/your-money/obama-orders-creation-of-myRA-accounts.html?_r=0 Seems like it's not a bad way for folks with lower incomes to tip-toe into the Roth IRA ownership arena. Currently it is hard for someone without much money in hand to get their foot in the door for a Roth IRA. After they build-up a balance, it rolls to private sector management. Don't get me wrong, the MYRA idea isn't necessarily a perfect one but I feel like it doesn't seem too horrible. What could be wrong with trying to help give lower income folks who have a hard time getting into the market with little money they have a way to start saving for retirement? Again, I don't see much negative here. Definitely don't see anything that smells like the government seizing anyone's retirement account. S.

YES!!!!! Way to go, Emmy! Awesome pictures for a lifetime too! Thanks for sharing! S.

AWESOME!!!!! Good for Wyatt! Thanks for sharing with the site! S.

I agree with some things that are said on this forum, but some things just sound like complete paranoia! "Obama wants to seize your IRA's and 401K's so the government can "reinvest" it for you." Do you really believe that??? Seriously man, how do you make the jump to "seizing IRA's and 401K's....."??? How do make that correlation?

Huh? What exactly is wrong with that? You think he's cheating on his taxes? The $480K he made was adjusted gross income. You understand what that means, right?? No one pays taxes based on gross income. You pay based on your net income after deductions. He donated something like $60K to charity and I'm sure had any other standard types of deductions also. You and I are treated no differently. S. Haha...Stanley trying to explain taxes to a guy that pays more in taxes than most people make in a year...Thats funny right there Not keeping track of who makes how much on here. Not into comparing salaries with folks..... Don't really care (Generally considered bad form anyway.....). I was just trying to point-out that the 18% figure is based on gross income, which really isn't a valid thing to compare it to depending on deductions. Didn't seem like he was taking that into consideration based on his comment. I'm sure Shedhunteraz can and will reply for himself if he wants to though. Especially if he want's it advertised on here how much money he makes..... S.

FYI for everyone; I deleted the original hi-jack post, as well as all others related to that. S. PS: For the record, I'm not in favor of canned 'hunts' and really don't believe they deserve to have the word "hunt" associated with them. My opinion.....

And if the federal govt proclaims it we should all bow down and kiss dear leaders ring. Huh?? Didn't know that following the law was bowing down and kissing any leader's ring..... He's lost his case in court several times. If he doesn't like the law, he should try to do something constructive to change it, IMO. I'm amazed at how many people are supporting this guy without regard to what precedent it would set to let cattle and sheep ranchers to disregard the laws and graze wherever they want, whenever they want. S.

Well if the Tea Party proclaims it, then it MUST be valid and true!! (Sorry, I couldn't resist.......) I'm thinking that if they really have a case, then the Tea Party ought to hire Bundy a lawyer and argue it in front of a judge. Other wise, it will go nowhere. S.

Little guy has already gone to court several times on this and has lost every single time.

Apache Junction / Gold Canyon area for sure. Also out in the Verrado neighborhood. S.

I know how much you enjoy the jr hunts with the kids Stanley. Congrats on that and let's hope you still have a chance of being drawn. TJ Yep TJ, I'll keep my fingers crossed! Either way, I'm stoked that I get to take Nick hunting! Congrats on your tag too! S.

No tag for me, but it looks like my son got a Jr. elk tag! S. PS: For those still holding-out hope, my credit union account was just hit this morning! The charge still shows 'pending' and just showed-up about 3 hours ago. Keep the faith!!!!!

The CC company would not have necessarily known that your card was breached in the Target case. The security failure was not on the 'processing' or 'network' side. It was a data security breach within Target's system (their database was hacked/broken into.....). In the case where the security breach is on the network or card company side, the card issuer will almost always immediately contact impacted card holders to reissue cards. Card issuing companies are strictly regulated by federal banking regulations which require this action ASAP. In the Target case, the breach was not on the CC issuer side so it apparently wasn't handled as such. FYI..... S.

Sincere congratulations! There is absolutely NO feeling in the world like being a parent!!! Enjoy life!!! S.

Having a draw system that works, is not necessarily more expensive. The G&F is now taking in $200 million a year to operate (more than that I believe). This is sad. Where did you get that $200 million number?

Hello aushunter, and welcome to this great site! It has been mentioned before that another option would be to do a hunt here in the US (either Arizona or New Mexico). For the price you would pay to hunt in Sonora, you could definitely hire a good guide here in the U.S. and have a great hunt. Just food for thought..... Regards, S.

A friend sent me this link. I thought it was VERY funny!!!! Just a little April Fools humor.... http://www.theonion.com/content/video/manu...ls_hollow_point S.
