Non-Typical Solutions

+ 1 on the must see list....worth your time.....

I was wondering how you were keeping up with the watering chores on that setup, but maybe you had a packin system. Can't complain about the new photos though, there just must be an amazing population of bears out there cause I know we have had many bears on our cameras and you know that we aren't getting everybody's pictures on here. Nice pics thanks for sharing them...

Anybody ever do any offshore deep sea fishing down San Diego way??? Getting ready to make a trip later on this month and was wondering if it is a bad time of year any recommendations on outfits to hire???

What about Gus on Lonesome Dove, was he talking about poker???

Not sure how the WMI selects their letters to the editor, this one is a great one that shows the problem with deciding what to do with the wolf. We have people in Phoenix and people in Albuquerque who want their kids to get to see a Mexican wolf in the wild and fortunately for them the recovery area is miles and miles in between. Here is the letter: Posted: Saturday, September 24, 2011 5:00 am | Updated: 7:21 am, Sat Sep 24, 2011. Help rebuild grey wolf population Sandi Greene, Albuquerque, NM White Mountain Independent | To the Editor: I was so happy to read that Mexico is planning to release some Mexican Grey wolves. I know there has been controversy over the wolves, but with only 50 remaining in the US and Mexico, it is vital for the recovery of these majestic animals. People have to understand that it is just not the wolf that preys on livestock, there are bears, mountain lions, bobcats, pack of dogs, etc that contribute to killing livestock. For some reason most people hate, especially ranchers, so it just seems that the wolf takes the blame for all deaths of livestock. Wolves are part of our ecosystem and I want my children and grandchildren to be able to appreciate and see these beautiful animals in their natural habitat. We need the reintroduction more so now that New Mexico has allowed trapping again in the wolves territory. Even though the wolf is still protected and still on the endangered list some will get trapped anyway. We as human beings cant and shouldnt pick and choose which predators can be eliminated. Havent we learned anything over the centuries? Lets help the endangered species rebuild, then let nature takes its course. Sandi Greene, Albuquerque, NM

I lost a pair of my buddies binos many many years ago, wish somebody woulda tried to get them back to me......good job.....and good luck

Let's face it, you gotta knack for the big rack!!! Layin on the ground or followin a track!! Congrats.....

Oooops.....except crossing the border has nothing to do with ethics, that is just flat out illegal.....my bad.....

We were hunting rifle elk at the tree farms on Zeniff (bad idea) opening morning not realizing what a zoo experience that was going to be. We had spent plenty of time there glassing preseason, early morning and thought we had a pretty good plan. Course we were exactly where we wanted to be opening morning along with about 15 other hunters waiting to decend upon the elk coming up out of the basin there. Time for plan B, we glassed up some elk that seemed to have slipped through the masses and we were getting out of our truck to go on foot and try to edge over a slow slopping ridge when another truck pulled up along side of us. They asked us if we had seen anything and we told them we were getting ready to stalk up on some bulls below us. Stupid us of course, telling them exactly what we were doing right??? They turn their truck off road, go barreling down the slope offroad right in the direction we told them we were planning on heading. The first thing that crosses through my mind is putting my crosshairs on the tailgate of that truck and letting the lead fly. We took down the plate number off the truck so we could call it in. All the sudden we see a G$F truck barreling off the hill, guess we weren't alone out there . Those boys got pulled over and hopefully a little fine to go with it. I think it is best to take down details, report them and let the law enforcement agencies take care of it. I know we maybe are not always happy when the law doesn't follow through the way we think they should but still for all involved it is the safest measure to take. Ethics are as broad as the universe no matter if it is hunting, living off wellfare, crossing the border illegally or selling a used car.

Yep, you were right....made me puke.....

Sheds are such a fun bonus to getting out in the sticks...nice job....

My son just did a report for one of his classes (8th grade) on the Game and Fish and Ethics of all subjects......the main gist of his report was the G$F was only successful due to the Ethical efforts of the hunters and those who use the system. There are many things that rub my hair wrong and those of you who know me that is pretty tough. But follow the laws that are in the books, be respectful of others and follow the good book from up above and you will probably be headed in the right direction.

I was texting the other day, which I am not to good at and I texted in the word "right"......and I accidently pushed that one key that changes the word, which is not what I wanted to do, so I hit the key again and guess what word comes up.....you texters probably already know this but the word "shiit" comes up.....WOW......it does really happen.

Great footage on both videos, nice job....

That is awesome....if you don't mind what unit???

The spooking of game has been a pretty common practice in Unit 10 for years, we were hunting some bulls up close to the rez line, archery, had some nut keeping the bulls from coming across the fence to water on the Unit 10 side. That is pretty frustrating, I love unit 10 and sure enough hate to see junk going on out there....you really gotta wonder what fun it is to cut the head off of a bull that you didn't actually hunt.....wow what a thrill....must be an adrenaline rush......

All just sound like a bunch of Bull to me!!! Cardinals and the Raiders both lost today.....

Nice finds and a bonus on the trip to boot....

Refer to the thread that OutdoorWriter posted on this site called Cry Wolf.......and get prepared for what is already in place and rolling in our back yard...

That is good news. One of our lockdowns, a kid that was in welding class had two pieces of rebar sticking out his backpack, looked like a rifle to a passerby who called it in saying there was a student on campus with a rifle in their backpack.

AP) TUCSON, Ariz. — An Air Force Base near Tucson has stepped up security and limited traffic into and out of the base because of an unspecified security situation. A Davis-Monthan Air Force Base spokesperson could not confirm reports of gunfire on the base or say if anyone has been shot. Senior Airman Timothy Dunaway says traffic has been reduced to a single point entry but he refused to elaborate. He says the Sonoran Science Academy on the base is on lockdown. KVOA-TV says the kids are safe on the base. Davis-Monthan is adjacent to the Pima Air & Space Museum and the "boneyard" for old military and government airplanes that is a popular destination for aviation enthusiasts.

Keep us posted, hope all is well there......not fun, we have been in lockdown twice here at our school and that is not a fun experience...

Tranquilizer gun casey??? Just kidding, heck of a nice cat Kid....

That is not good news for sure, that has become one of our favorite ventures a chance to get to see those sheep in there.

Tony, Thanks for posting the video, interesting for sure, kinda sheds a light on the topic that we all suspected I suppose. I like the part where the guy talks about how many elk a wolf will take and how many wolves currently reside in the yellowstone and surronding areas. Lots of truth spoken in that video.
