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.

Google is an awesome tool that you could use...... Just entered a few key words and found this info; http://www.jimshockey.com/pages/about-jim-shockey/jim-shockey-golf-shootout S.

VERY awesome! Reminds me of the first time I caught a trout with a fly that I had tied myself...... So cool that you built your own bow, then put it to great use! Good stuff!! S.

YES!!!!!!!!!! Kids, family, and hunting! Very awesome! Congrats and thanks for getting your kids out there, then sharing with the site! S.

Ho ho, ha ha, hee hee, ha ha, ho ho, ha ha, hee hee, ha ha...... Old memories, for sure...... Now I can't get the tune out of my mind!!! S.

Huh? I'm confused..... What kind of tree was it and what would make it goofy? I'm a bit familiar with the arboretum, but am confused. S.

Awesome for the kid! Thanks for sharing with the site!! S.

BTW, Jim! This thread NEEDS pics!!!!!! S.

YES! I was with Slim last year as he took three lady hunters into an area and got on to a nice herd in 36B last year! Unfortunately, I haven't been able to commit yet (work-travel and kids.....). I'm hoping to make it down for at least a night again this year though! S.

YES!!!! YES!!! YES!!!!! VERY sincere congrats Jim!!! Is this your first? If so, you have just experienced the COMPLETE and total love that rushes over you when you bring a child into the world! No way to describe it, but to experience it yourself..... Babies, children (even teenagers....) are the absolute BEST part of life! Cigars for everyone!!!!!! Again, sincere congrats to you and your wife!!! S.

LOL..... Pretty interesting...... I think the puchasing company was already distributing Jim Beam in Japn anyway. Also, the compay that bought them has been a maker/disributor of their own brand of spirits in Japan fo many years. My guess is that it is much less about 'outsourcing', and much more about simply making a multi billion $$ investment in a good/strong brand. As for making it in China, uh... I really doubt that would happen. S.
