Received an email from AZSFWC which you may or may not know of. Here is a link to the information which once again shows the bias of our "State" daily newspaper. http://campaign.r20.constantcontact.com/render?ca=26c78400-dc5b-413f-98e2-dcce075e84ff&c=db733fd0-36e9-11e3-b170-d4ae5275b1a5&ch=dc47cde0-36e9-11e3-b23d-d4ae5275b1a5 Stay committed and spread the word. I don't care to see a wolf in NAZ.

Roger's half way there, he could swing down and start building the farm animals back up!!

i do some, DU lately. im kinda broke right now due to $200 in application fees alone this year. but why dont we stay on track. you dont think that AZGFD should be in charge of organizing that sort of thing? The Arizona Elk Society (AES) and Arizona Desert Bighorn Sheep Society both put boots on the ground in the water catchment projects on a regular basis. Many of the other groups also provide funding and manpower but in my observations these 2 work year in and year out to provide water for all the animals that utilize catchments. AZG&F does participate and their developement crew also haul water and build and maintain catchments. BUT they are a small crew and can use any help we as sportsmen and women can provide. Most of the water hauling by AES and others is done in conjunction with and cooperation of the G&F. The unit game managers provide the information of what or where the greatest needs are.

When I first read the topic and original post I was headed to post a reply. This one more than covers what I was going to say. When water is hard to find the elk and other wildlife, statewide, can drain a drinker quite quickly. Thanks to the efforts of the AES there is some mitigation. I don't want to step on toes here but if all our wildlife groups could work together and coordinate the use of our memberships, donations and banquet proceeds on more water developments and maintenance everybody would benefit. Just my 2 cents.

Come November I'm going to stick my fishing pole out the window then creep back to the Jeep after an hour or so! Just have to figure out which lake (5B) to use.

You can get out of the weather in a Jeep and turn on the AC or heater. My wrangler can get me any where I need and boot leather can get me into the hunting area.

I had great success with the Therma Cell electric repellant. Kept our sitting area in Alaska clear last summer. Reviews ran the whole scale from 1 to 5 but it worked for us. Walmart usually carrys them in the camping section.

here are some faq and statistics http://feralhogs.tamu.edu/frequently-asked-questions-wild-pigs/ James That was very interesting reading and well worth the time for some pig education.

Back in the 30's my dad told me that to earn a boy scout swimming badge you had to swim from the road out to an island and back. That little knob can be seen on the west side of the lake north of the roping arena. He also talked about using row boats launched at the store to fish for perch.

Thanks! That's boots (or bodies) on the ground predator control

With the lake low they will really be consentrated this year, set up in one of the view points on the east side and glass the entire edge. You can get closer to the north end at Dairy Springs on the west side but can't really see the south end very well. Always fun to sit and watch especially when the young ones are playing tag and the big bulls are just laying in the grass.

Anybody find any updated information on this fire?

Just a reminder that even though the Coconino Forest is closed to shooting the Northern Arizona Shooting Range is open on weekends. Saturdays Public rifle/pistol and shotgun venues open 0900 to 1500 hours Sundays 1100 to 1500 hours web site http://northernarizonashootingrange.org/Home_Page.html

Love those smiles! Happy Anniversary!

I'm in the draw went with my original plan that we talked about. Good Luck TJ and to all the great CWT folks! The wait is on.

I have several things but these are very special N.R. Davis double barrel shotgun that my grandfather passed to my dad and my dad to me. ENFUR 1915 rifle wife's grandfather brought back from WW I 2 mantel Coleman lantern circa 1950's still works like a champ The list goes on but these 3 always bring back fond memories.

If you go to page 50 and look at hunt 06001 it appears to me that the tag went to a hunter with 12 bonus points while passing several others with more points. I'm looking at the line with the 1 under Total Success as the hunter with the tag. In hunt 06002 the tag went to a hunter with only 1 bonus point. Am I wrong on this? How do you read the report if so.

I found all the hunts http://www.azgfd.gov/eservices/documents/bonus/5-2013/2013%20Fall%20Draw%20-%20Bonus%20Point%20Report%20-%201-2%20Pass%20by%20Hunt%20Number.pdf I'm looking at a unit with 1 tag and low success rate. Why? I've seen sheep in there and I (if ever so lucky) would be the only hunter in the field. PS: Resident Hunters Only

I understand the pdf but don't see the hunt numbers I'm interested in. Could one of you fine people please send a link or directions on how to find prior years 2012 etc. Good luck TJ and everybody on your Fall apps.

Maybe he's waiting for a hunt to open on the North Kaibab!

Don't know how I missed this when you posted but, Great Job Peg and Amanda nice birds. Tequilla! I love tequilla! Glad you had a fun time in Old mexico.

How many of these animals can you find? This is pretty cool!! Whether they are hunters or the hunted, these cunning animals are all masters of disguise who can fool even the most beady-eyed passerby into believing they are not there. Some hide under lily pads, some dissolve into the bark of a tree while others slip seamlessly into the snow, either to hide from a hungry predator or silently stalk an unwitting prey. But the one thing from which they cannot hide is the all-seeing camera lens of photographer Art Wolfe. He has spent over 35 years roaming the deserts of Africa, the rainforests of South America, the mountains of the United States and snow plains of Canada to capture wildlife at its most invisible. It's white in front of you! A willow ptarmigan in winter plumage, hidden on a brushy slope near Churchill, Manitoba, Canada. Having a giraffe: A Giraffe in Transvaal, South Africa. Wolfe's 35-year career has spanned every continent as he has followed his passion for the environment.

Lake Mary Country Store and Trailer Park 928-774-1742 Levi owns and operates the place it's on Lake Mary Road about 6 miles out of Flagstaff. They all love to hunt and fish and he has a wall full of photos if you have to wait in line.

The Wolf had me going

Agree tough one
