Regarding teachers with guns. This came up recently at a meeting I attended. The concern is, when LEO enters, has this video shows they are ready to shoot. A teacher even though trained may be in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's very difficult to make a split second decision when going in to save children and an armed plain clothes person steps out armed. The killer could step out and yell I'm a teacher,, then shoot them in the back has they go by.

I grew up at the rainbow trout farm / campground and trailer park in oak creek. we had a few years like this. we had a cable with a big bucket to get across during the floods. I'll tell you, that was a scary deal in the pitch dark, I'm always amazed that the big one hasn't cleared the whole canyon.

it will fill today, then be over 100% soon. The salt is usually a day or so behind tonto creek, so it is just beginning to rise. Here at my place I checked one of my wells yesterday. Water was 4' below the surface.

Roosevelt could fill up in 2 days, by the sound of tonto creek right now. When you can hear the boulders crashing that creek is roaring.

I seem to remember the name Alan Hamberlin. I could be wrong but wasn't he the money behind HB 2072 the tag grab attempt ?

I have a good friend in CA, Roy Brill. I met him in 1988 archery hunting in Kaibab. He grew up in Africa hunting with the natives. his Parents were missionaries. Roy is 91 now, still archery hunts. Roy also takes his Harley out for a 35 mile ride 2 times a week. Roy has the best attitude about life and living to the fullest I have every seen. He has had some very hard things in his time. He just keeps going.

yes, please post some pictures and tell us about your trip. In 2000 I took my 3 children and spent 2 months in AK. We loved it, my middle son hooked and landed a king in the first 10 min of fishing. We caught and sent home a ton of salmon, it was pretty cheap back then. But we honestly enjoyed the inland areas more than the coast. Seemed like we had hundreds of square miles to ourselves.

I've found muleys near the road many times archery hunting. One year on the north rim I had already killed my buck and took my daughter who was 5 out. We found a giant, over 185 just rubbed his velvet off. He was within 5 yards of the road. we were 30 yards from him for 15 min. Every time a truck came by he would lay his head down. I think 5 trucks or quads came by road hunting and none of them saw him or us. Pretty funny.

We live on the border of 22/23 once riffle season starts its a total joke. People camping 100 yards from homes. Very hard to even take a horse out for a ride with the quads and sxs's hauling butt everywhere. Not to mention creating new trails. We probably see 30% of the number of deer we would see around 2000.

I just got back from near forest lakes. Lots of horses, but how about 2500 sheep. They were eating everything in their path. Between the horses and sheep every pond is dry.

That's sad news. He always had a story to share. Happy Hunting Tony

There is zero discipline in schools and really no consequence's. And this is not the fault of the schools or administration. our society has tied their hands. Our mental health help is non existent. Even if you or a loved one know that help is needed, it is almost impossible to get. This is 10x more so if your are looking for help for some one under 18, which is the exact opposite of the way it should be.

maybe they need a guide to even up the fights. Or at least bring someone to hang out in camp. It's nice to not worry about your camp the day after your first confrontation.

It's a great area, can be a great hunt. But be ready for confrontations when you get on the bull of your dreams. Only 15 tags for archery but 300 helpers it can be very frustrating. When you are told to back out because they have a hunter on that bull. and then you see a sxs racing down a road and out jumps 3 more helpers and 1 hunter to go after the bull you are already on.................... I don't want to discourage you but make you aware of what can happen. My thought is pattern and be out where you want to by 3 a.m. Best of luck.

absolutely no way they will find anyone good or even decent with that pay scale. I've got children that could do that job and one of them worked for G&F during college. But with bad benifits and pay compared to other places in that field, it just won't happen.

I'd be searching for a cave nearby.

where to find this information?? Attend 3rd grade in AZ in the 60's Regarding the line to Yuma. Maybe a surveyor was sick but Mexico flat out refused the ports and demanded a 50 mile wide area so not make Baja an Island to their country. For this reason the Gadsden purchase was actually considered a failure at the time.

23 is a tough hunt on your body. Especially for archery. lots of up and down. And yes cameras all over certain areas has of last weekend. Of course these are for research purposes only.

I think you should ask the A3 guide service. They seem to know the boundaries well.

that Bull identified has a cow.

I was up in the area scouting, looking around Saturday. Elk have not come back to the area yet. But tons of horse poop. I actually get angry when people refer to them has wild horses. just idiotic. We have quite a few horses and love them, But without feed constantly available they end up being destructive. They just do what it takes to survive.... In the late 60's early 70's my dad lost a job. My parents went to the local butcher and found horse meat was 1/2 the price of beef. so it was an easy choice... I'll never forget, best meat I'd ever had. so if I had a chance to get a tag for a horse I'm in. They do not belong ruining or forest.

I hunt alone most of the time. sometimes over a month. Rule at my house is , if I don't come home don't come looking for me.

.9" of rain, then 2" of snow over night. perfect, snow all gone at home but the mountains all around still covered with snow. It's my perfect idea of a snow storm.
