the one with the nighthawk swooping in to catch bugs from in front of the bull is cool

I will try to make it, I will not be there for the quad ride (don't own one anyway) thought I would bring some whitetail brats to throw on the grill.

Great pictures! Haven't been in that area in over 20 years, brought back memories of being in the Lackner's workshop and seeing all of the big whitetail racks that they had collected over the years from that area.

We did have three bunches of chicks at the office until a couple of roadrunners moved in. now we are down to about 6 young out of the 20-25 that we had. :angry:

How about Mollywhopper

How about Deohge. spelled D.O.G. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Great video!! Its always amazing how graceful those owls are in the thick woods. Keep up the good work. :D

I am disappointed, no duct tape in sight anywhere :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Its hard to believe that he was under a lot of stress if he was filming all of his exploits for "commercial" purposes. Sounds like he really needs some time away from all other people {as in solitary confinement in jail}

I would like to add my congratulations to Gary. I have had the pleasure of knowing him for many years through the Arizona Desert Bighorn Sheep Society. He always gives generously of his time and knowledge to many wildlife project and fund raising efforts. Darrell Tersey

I went to Snopes.com and they identified this warning as a hoax. The real virus that this warning talks about came out several years ago.

Looks like that first bull has fangs almost as long as his horns :lol: :lol: :lol:

The best ones are the Sotol or desert spoon, which are very common in coues country. Sometimes they are called Moses sticks. If you are lucky, you can find one that a carpenter bee chewed a hole in during the summer as they hollow out the center making a light but very strong walking stick. Some of the old timers would make them with chamois on top for a non slip grip and put a crutch tip on the bottom to make them last longer in the rocks. There are all sort of ways to use one to steady your binoculars or rifle depending on how you sit or stand and brace the stick with your legs.

If you need to identify any reptile or amphibian in AZ just go to http://www.reptilesofaz.com/ . It has great color photos of every snake, lizard, turtle aand frog in the state and where they live.

They probably did not have hunting licenses with them and were cited for killing it with put a license, hunting in an area that is closed to hunting and shooting within a quarter mile of an occupied building without the permission of the occupants. (The first two are considered poaching.)

They made a mistake on the location. theWhitmire fire is south west of Animas N.Mex on the in the Pelloncillo Mtns. Probably doing a lot of good clearing out old manzanita thickets so you can actually see the deer when you are hunting for them.

I say turn them in. People like that tend to like to eat venison all year long and just might end up eating that buck of a lifetime you watched grow up before the season opens.

Unfortunately he does not quite qualify for the Darwin award, he survived

another trick you might try is to soak the toothpicks in the ethanol laced barley beverage of your choice then string the beans. that should keep the toothpicks from burning and also give the beans a little extra flavor. of course you will need to sample the beverage before soaking the toothpicks to make sure that it is ready to be used as a marinade for the toothpicks.

"Buckhorn and I were talking about that this morning... it gets in their blood. My boy has wanted to fight wildland fires since he was 6 years old... now on his second year with this awesome Crew... he could be classified as a Hardcore Fire Junky. The boy loves cutting trees and putting out fires.....he lives,eats and sleeps it and unless he is Hunting or Chasin' those Girl Critters... it is what he thinks about most. CnS" Some cases of it can be very long term... I have only had it for 34 years now even though I am too fat and old to get on the line anymore.

When I was growing up in Yuma someone killed an alligator that was more than 12 feet long near the old Cibola Landing on the river. It was back in the days when they still had five and dime stores selling 3-to-4-inch-long baby alligators for pets, and quite a few foot-long gators eventually turned up in the canals and river after their owners got tired of them. Such a big one found in the Colorado River made news across the country, though, and a photo appeared in the old Arizona Wildlife Sportsman Magazine. This was in about 1952-53. I still was in high school. I have a copy of that issue somewhere. Bill Quimby Bill there was one spotted and shot in the 40's too, I remember seeing an article on that. The gila and the salt in places reminds me of some of the stuff you see on the discovery channel with the crocs and gators. There was a 10-12 foot alligator removed from Pakoon spring on the Arizona Strip last year.

Here is what happens to big predators when we are allowed to hunt them. Tue Apr 29, 4:02 PM ET ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A study by state biologists has found parts of Anchorage are much more popular among grizzly bears than they previously thought. At least three dozen grizzlies have been seen over the past three summers along Campbell Creek, which courses through industrial and residential areas and is home to a science center that is popular among families on warm summer days. While biologists with the Department of Fish and Game knew the area was popular with bears, they were surprised to find out just how many were hanging out along the stream. It appears the bears are coming from several valleys in the Chugach Mountains above Anchorage. Several dens were seen from downtown during the study, said Sean Farley, a bear research biologist. The bears are roaming large ranges that in some cases stretch all the way to the Little Susitna River west of Wasilla. From there a bear would have to swim through Cook Inlet waters to reach Anchorage, but that's no obstacle to the animals, Farley said. Of 11 bears fitted with radio collars during the study, a boar had the largest range. It wandered an area about eight times larger than that of the average sow with cubs. The latter tended to focus their time in and around salmon streams in sight of Anchorage, which as about 300,000 residents. While grizzly bears are endangered or threatened in the Lower 48 states, in Anchorage they could be considered the neighbor next door. Biologists are leery of even taking a guess at exactly how many of them inhabit the Municipality of Anchorage, an area about the size of Delaware. There have been a number of bear-human confrontations in the area in recent years. Some people been injured, and two runners were killed in a 1995 attack, but such run-ins are more likely to end with the bear getting shot. The animals seem to understand that, Farley said. Hikers and mountain bikers aren't seeing grizzlies as often as his data suggests they should be. "They're very secretive," Farley said. "They're very good at hiding from us. They're very good at avoiding people."

Looks fantastic!!! The bigger I made the picture, the more I liked it :D

For the most part they have been posted for about a month at http://www.azgfd.gov/pdfs/h_f/2008hr/2008-...mmendations.pdf Match that with the few changes that came out of the commission meeting and you will have the regs for this year
