Taking pictures while driving is dangerous! S.

Hey Carlos! I just saw this post. Unfortunately it's looking like I'll be out of the country for work during that time. My brother-in-law is a big golfer though, and he lives in Tucson. I'll definitely forward this info to him! S.

VERY awesome, Peg!!!! You must have a great guide! S.

Man, that's a sweet looking machine! A guy could get rich making/selling those things based on the responses here! Congrats to the winning bidder/trader! S.

'AZGFD is a just a bunch of money hungry......' Really? You must not know many Wildlife Managers in this state. In case you haven't noticed, EVERYTHING is more expensive and is changing every year (not just with AZ G&F). Do you really expect the department to run on the same budget they have in the past? The whole 'it's all about money' argument makes it sound like the department is getting rich off of this stuff. Again, do you actuall know many folks in the department at the grass roots level? I agree with your comments regarding their solicitation of opinions, to a point. You're right in that not much is going to stop them from raising fees in the future. Tough crap for you and I! It's simple economics.... Get involved and organize your input. Letters, phone calls, and participation in Commission meetings may not change the world, but it can't hurt, IMO. S.

That is a GREAT price on a GREAT tent. Anyone who has used a Springbar knows they are an amazing design! Kodiak has done a great job of providing this tent design with great quality! Congrats to the winning bidder! S. PS: A buddy of mine uses this tent, and there are some awesome awning/vestibule additions that can expand the 'rain cover' for camping gear in a nice way for this tent.

Wow! Big one, for sure! Might want to post over at MM. S.

Now that really IS funny, Casey! Good stuff.... S.

Your name calling only got one of your posts deleted. No trouble.... S.

I love baseball!!!! D-backs let me down yesterday! S.

Big Lake for sure! Also, if you're staying in Greer be sure to stop at that little store on the right before you get to the first bridge (I think it's a motel too.....). They might be able to tell you if they're biting on anything at the Greer Lakes..... Good luck! S.

Wow Coach! Thanks for the report. Sounds like the river is coming back nicely! S.

Really??? Are you a midget, or what??? Your hands barely fit 3/4 around when holding them. And check-out those swords! Two words: Length and MASS! Thanks for sharing with the site! S.

+1 on Raphael's pizza!

Don't know about the best place overall, but I know I had an AWESOME whole, fresh butchered, scored and deep fried Red Snapper from Ranch Market (Asian market) on 44th Street South of 202 (Phx) today! Nice fresh fish case where you can pick your fish (Snapper, Pampano, Jack, etc.....), then they butchered it in front of us and immediatly deep fried it whole right there on the spot! A little light salad and Asian sauce along the side! YUM! If you're ever in the area, I recomend it! S.

Awesome! Good to see a cw.com member get propped-up! I'll have to try it sometime when I'm down that way. Here in the Valley, lots of options. +1 on Spinattos! I live in Central Phx, and Bianco opened-up a place in Town and Country center that is my latest favorite. Nice scratch-made pastas and custom sausage from Schriners. Good stuff! S.

Hello All: Amanda is out in the field studying owls and hence hasn't had the pleasure of following this thread. She pays myself and a couple of others the BIG bucks (Joking here of course... It's a volunteer position. ) to help moderate the site while she is busy doing her biologist thing. Sometimes while she is gone I find myself asking WWAD (What would Amanda do?). In this case, I think the answer is to lock the thread. Opinions are clearly strong on this topic, and for good reason. Lots of information has been provided, opinions shared, and plenty of name-calling too. Seems like most everything has been said at this point. If you have any questions, please PM them to me. S.

Well then that's the answer to the question in the title of this thread, I suppose. Spin, spin, spin..... S.

No replies have been deleted that I know of...at least not by any forum admin. why would you say that? Of course people can delete their own posts if they want. I replied and then deleted my own post ASAP because I realized I rushed to judgement/reply. Only deleted it for that reason, not for any theory about how close to the truth/false this topic might be. I only deleted my own post though, Oneshot. None others..... S.

That food looks AWESOME (Just by looking at that tortilla, you can tell it is fresh-made!)!!! TJ, congrats on the new home purchase! S.

So I've been ingoring this debate/post for a long time. Suppose I can't do that anymore. I'm a Wildcat to the core. Didn't go there, but have DEEP ties through family (2 sisters, one brother, 5 niece/nephews, grand-dad was Dean, etc....). That being said, my oldest son is gratuating from highschool this month and I just found-out that he has decidz'ed (and been accepted) to ASU for the fall term. Ugh..... A Sun Devil? Really?? His great-grandpa is turning in his grave right now. S.

VERY AWESOME!!!! I'm talking like, THE BEST of times! Thanks for sharing with the site! S.

They probably have standing contracts to provide the feds with ammo. If they break the contracts, they get sued. Federal orders come before all others. Thats why the feds can tie up the ammo production I'm thinking that the answer to the Krazy's original question is also MONEY! Ammo makers are in business to make money. Even if they didn't have a contract why on earth would they 'not' sell to the government if they're willing to buy? BTW, I agree Snapshot I'm sure they must a contract. Can you imagine the red-tape wrapped around that contract process??? lol S.

Good stuff!! I've got an old 1895 model Winchester (30-30) that my dad gave me when I was 9 years old. I used to pretend that I was Chuck Connors when I was blasting through rounds in the local wash with that thing. I think 30-30 ammo was $6.99 a box then. S.

In no way shape or form.....great point.... Too funny! Long live The Rifleman! (Loved that show as a kid.....) S.
