Non-Typical Solutions

HOLY SMOKES GUS............... That is a keeper........

"Give me Liberty, or Give me Death!" is a quotation attributed to Patrick Henry from a speech he made to the Virginia Convention. It was given on March 23, 1775 Another nut job saying the same thing.........just different..........

That is an awesome shot of the family right there........

Local radios have been announcing all roads are open to Big Lake, Sunrise way, Round Valley way and Alpine way...........

Where specifically can you read up on this type of information??

Good to hear, thanks for keeping us posted on SWSA, looking forward to being a part of that program.

My thoughts exactly......nice job all around.

Thanks for the info Bill. What group of people does Grijalva represent anyway, that guy never matches up with what I would expect.......seems like it is all about him......always abaout him.......... Hope the Senate can get er done on this one.......

We had a trip all planned this weekend to go put up a couple of trail cams and look for some antlers. The weather turned me into a chicken and we stayed home. I just had to remember what it was like the last time we checked cameras and man, I can't believe I let a little storm ruin my weekend.

Most of our pictures in the past have been coues, turkey and bears. We moved one of our cameras about a mile from where our other cameras have been and man, were we suprised at what we found. Now, the big question...is there a chance that the deer to the right in these last two photos is a coues???

That dont look like sunnyslope country to me .......some nice lookin bone there nice job.

That is what makes it all worth the miles.....good job on getting her out there with you and congrats to the lady.........

What size wheels are on that trailer and do you have a picture??? Thanks..........

Isn't that how most surveys are when those putting out the survey don't really want the answer?? Reminds me of the AIMS tests for our AZ state standards

HPC NEPA ARC Here we go again.....you obviously already have the story and are just sitting on edge waiting to share or blast somebody my guess is somebody from the AZGFD(I know what that one means). I would think at this point you might get in touch with donniedent and find out what you two can do together to help with the: 1) incomplete 2)Do not have NEPA or Arc work done 3) have no local commitment for matching funds 4)do not supply maps, photos or important data 5) have no ranching support or access agreements And you wonder why still there is a lack of trust from the average hunter, whose support, money and donated tags you want. This type of junk is what breeds apathy......and it is killing the desire to get involved.

For me, it is a matter of lack of knowledge. No idea what all of these different comittees represent, who the members are, what they represent, where the money goes. I put in for hunts, buy my hunting license, feel lucky if I get drawn. Go hunt. Always under the assumption that my money for tags, etc. is what took care of what I know as Game and Fish. When I started reading stories of hunting on this website, I started learning a whole lot about hunting and what is going on outside of my little, enclosed world. I learned that not everybody has the same idea what "ethics" are and it is a pretty heated discussion. I have learned that there are many factors that play into what Game and Fish has to deal with. Salt licks, blinds, two tracker roads vs. "maintained" roads. I have learned that there are many important issues out there that I honestly had no clue of and still wouldn't if it were not for all the info I have gleaned from this site. I realize that there is much at hand and much that is very important for the future of our hunting and fishing youth. Many people spend many hours on behalf of something that I have taken for granted. Even if I have not agreed with many things that have been said on this site I have still learned. Ignorance is what I blame my position on, but now that I have become more informed, I need to decide what is best for me to do to help. That decision becomes difficult though, when so many people claim one thing is what we need to do, and then a whole nother side of the spectrum says we need to do just the opposite. I am a rookie at this stuff, but I think I have a good grounding on what I expect from professional people who would represent my ideals and concerns. I feel I have met many people on this site that I would trust to make sound decisions on behalf of the future of our wildlife. I am willing and ready to help be a part of the solving of the problems that face us.

Get one of those big live animal traps they have been talking about on this site........???? Just a thought...

Geez George... If I were a betting man, I would say that it is Comm1 writing your responses. I have watched your posts and I would say that half the time it is Robbie doing the posting. If you want to believe that all is great from the Carefree towers, so be it. I will continue to think differently. I will hope that an agency that is over 90 million dollars will show us what is behind the curtains. Man.....and I am the one worried about helicopters and conspiracy, now there is a hidden curtain......wow, my trust getting stronger and stronger by the post.............I think I will just go adopt a trick tank or something.

Ah..........breath of fresh air..........youth..........and to wish for those days........welcome to the site. I have learned so much from the people who contribute to this site. One of the huge features of this site is my little guy can come on here and read and I don't have to worry about junk. Welcome to the site...........

Makes sense to me......

Leave um for the vultures!!!! That looks like a heck of a good time there......

Course this was a week ago, we got all the way in to Big Lake fromt he Alpine side, it was iced over. I wasn't interested in ice fishing We fished Nelson, two mornings just trolling wooly worms and peacock ladys and such, not one bite. Game and Fish said there were fish in there but we couldn't catch up with any of them. We rarely fish Nelson without catching something so we were bummed, but it was a great week none the less. Nelson was flowing over the dam..........didn't see any dead fish at all. The gal at the Tackle shop said Luna was struggling in the fish department, and we didn't go check it out.

One of our favorite roads to drive, still can't get in. Road between Buffalo Crossing and Big Lake, still pretty hard to swallow. Fishing Nelson early morning draggin flies, no luck at all but fun to get on the lake. Trip to Terry flat. Found this laying in the bar ditch three miles in on Big Lake road. Called G&F and they sent out their specialists. Had a great visit. Looked like a dump job to me.

Nothing wrong with that....nice job...

It is a pain gettin old, but life is good, thanks..........
