I've been kind of hiding and out of the loop lately, and hence am not as up to speed on many of the current hot topics. Due to that, I'm not sure if I have much of an opinion to share but I'm definitely going to attend to listen with an open ear! Folks, if you are passionate about ANYTHING related to game in AZ, this is your chance! Try not to miss it. See you there, Hector! S.

Hey TJ, that is an awesome story and awesome pictures! So happy for you, Peg, and Amanda that you got to go down there and enjoy! Looks like you all had an amazing time! Thanks for sharing. S.

I'm flying to Maui next Wednesday for a week at the Westin! Been looking at options for various activities, but I think we're mainly going to just take it pretty easy. Going to rent some scooters and snorkeling gear for the week, take a couple of books, and spend our time exploring the island, beaches, and water...... Definitely looking forward to some TOTAL relaxation! I'll let you know what I find...... S.

LOL!!! I knew the story, Bobby! You are a lucky SOB, indeed! Lucky just to be married to HER, and double lucky that she won the tag! Then triple lucky (with LOTS of days in the field, I know....) to nail that beautiful drop-tine buck! Karma man! You must be living clean!!! Sincere good luck on the banquet! Hope you all make a ton of money! S.

Definitely brings back memories. 69 Bug was what I drove in highschool. Completely stock with pizza-cutter tires and still could NEVER get that thing stuck in a sand wash (Litterally, my friends and I tried many times....)! Amazing sand cars!!! This car should sell fast. Wish I had some extra cash right now! S.

Yes, that is VERY awesome!!! Congrats on the moose tag! I got charged twice (one for me and one for my friend......) for the much smaller deer tag sum! Glad that I'll be up on the mountains of Utah again this fall! S.

AWESOME!!!!! Very glad you guys found success! Congrats to Jaycie! S.

My children and I have spent plenty of time camping/hunting in the 36's...... Never had a problem and never felt unsafe. Hoping my little girl gets drawn for one of those junior tags this year! S.

I'm not an expert, but I don't think the standard 'off the shelf' GPS unit would give accuracy within 1 foot. I think they are more like within 15 foot accuracy (or non-accuracy....). Maybe Google the question to see if there are options? Good luck! S.

I have a question, Bobby! Exactly what does it take to become a luckysob???? Tell me your secret and I'll cancel my vacation to Hawaii and come to the banquet! In all seriousness though, every year I tell myself that I'm going to come to your banquet down there! Unfortunately, I'll be out of town again this year. Wish Greta luck in the draws and maybe we'll see you for the junior hunt this fall! Good luck with the banquet! I know it's for a good cause! Stan

Seriously? New book??? Too funny....... Not sure what chain-mail source your getting your information from, but Lee Iaccoca wrote the book many years ago as a slam on the Bush administration. Now some goof-ball changed up the quotes from it and sending it around to see how many gullable folks will eat it up! S. PS: My reply is in NO way an endorsement of the current adminstration or ANY political party (they all suck in some way or another, IMO). Although the book was written in 2007. I felt everything said was meaningful enough to pass along. Apparently you seem perfectly satisfied with the road we are traveling as a country. There for being no one has a gun pointed to your head insisting for you to pass any of it along. Just sit back relax vote for the status quo or not.That is your right. But hopefully enough will the right thing, which will long term benefit you. Whether you are able to recognize it or not. Take care, Willie OK, Willie. Sorry if I touched a nerve. I seriously didn't mean to offend you. (Nor did I mean to "bust" or embarras anyone, Dustin. That wasn't my intent at all.....) I was simply pointing-out that what you posted was not accuratly quoted and was written completely out of context with the original intent of Lee Iaccoca. He was slamming the Bush administration in the book! That being said, I'm not sure where you get the idea that I seem 'perfectly satisfied with the road we are traveling as a country.....'. In fact, I made it a point to say that my response was not an endorsement of the current administration (Maybe you missed that part.). I'm also not sure where you get the impression that I will just sit back and vote for the status quo???? Just because I pointed-out that you posted inaccuratly quoted information does NOT have any bearing on my politics. I hope that makes sense to you. S.

VERY sincere congratulations to you Nick!!! Very awesome! There is absolutely no way to describe the feeling of being a parent until you've experienced it first hand. The best in the world!!! Good luck to you and your beautiful family in your continued journey through life! S.

I don't dip chew (one bad habit I was fortunate enough to avoid in my life.....), but I have had a close friend go through mouth cancer due to chewing. Bumps in the mouth and under the tounge are common. Based on your habit though, I would definitely talk to the ENT guy to check it out. This link is definitely NOT intended to scare you, only to give you information. http://www.healthline.com/health-slideshow/what-does-mouth-cancer-look#1 Good luck quitting! Stan

Score one for the good guy!!!! A rare occurrence to get stolen property back! Good for you! S.

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.
