Non-Typical Solutions

There are not many things that I read on a daily basis, but this site is one of them. I would not have known anything about this were it not for this site, I appreciate the information that is brought up here. Healthy discussion is important to try and resolve issues for sure. One thing that always worries me is reading information that comes from one side or the other. If you want to buy a Ford, talk to somebody that owns one but don't necessarily believe what Ford will tell you about their vehicle. How credible is the information and what lies behind or what isn't being said. Faith in anything politically motivated has disappeared from our society and rightfully so. Money seems to rule and usually has a string attached of some sort.

Bonus, one more I forgot, what is going to be the determining factor to as whether a kid qualifies for a free hunting or fishing liscense?

Bonuspoint couple of what I think are legit questions: Has the "qualifying Organization" already been determined? I mean, if I had an organization that "qualified" could they become the "underwiter" for this program? What plans would this organization have that could possible reliquish the death grip some have on access to public lands that hasn't already been pesued? What guarantees do we have that it won't be run like the Utah Fiasco??

Jay, I have alot of respect for the slow approach, find the facts, get to the bottom of the bill and weigh the pros and cons. Problem is when you get thrown a fastball how much time do you really have to analyze? The fact that this bill got put on a fast track with little to no warning to those whom it will affect throws a great big caution light upm maybe even a flashing red light. Why not slow the process down and give those affected time to digest the information? Maybe even give some input on what they would like to see? Two people on this site who are pretty well versed Tony and Bill seem to be pretty keen on the dos and don'ts and they seem skeptical as have others who frequent this site. I agree, lets take the time to find the facts, but what kind of time do we have??? Respectfully, Jeff

It always worries me when I have a document in front of me that requires a lawyer to interpret! Didn't the state clean out the game and fish funds a few years back??? What would keep them from getting their hands on the 20 million generated for wildlife in this case? Come on lawers, what are the pros and cons, to the average AZ hunter??

Oh my gosh....all these years and I missed that opportunity to teach you about the ducks?? I ain't gonna wait for lark on this one. Them are ducks Them are not Oh yes they are See them wings? Well I'll be! Them are ducks

I sure wish I could get some of those scraps for my yard, that stuff is expensive. When I went to buy some, everything I could afford looked like scrap to me. That is very true.....

OK maybe my ignorance shining through.....all the crap left behind that they couldn't or wouldn't use??? Most of us could make a really nice patio out of what they leave behind but when you are in the middle of the good stuff the scraps that get left behind are still pretty nice slabs. While teaching there in Ash Fork for 5 years, I got alot of pretty nice Flagstone and railroad ties from some of the locals who had connections. Made for some really nice landscaping materials. I apologize for misuse of the term tailings hope I didn't offend any of you miners that are directly impacted by mining and know what you are talking about

A little off subject but I know that mining of Flagstone in Unit 10 really put a hurt on one of my favorite hunting spots, made the roads more user friendly thus more hunters, pushed rocks and trees all over the place. But there are still some big mulies in there and they have found the water(rain,snow,etc) that now gets trapped in the tailings from this mining. Sometimes that can be good and sometimes that can be bad.

I love this game......great way to practice my spotting skills at home......or work I could only find the two doe but RagHorn needs to invest in a better camera if he is gonna put us through the misery......I have a really nice camera adapter that somebody gave me a few years back I will trade you for your range finder again And for those who are wondering, one of my altime favorites..... M R ducks M R not O S A R C M wangs? L I B! M R ducks

Be sure and tell your daughter thanks for the game, as fate would have it you killed two birds with one stone and came out on top all the way around. Nice buck for sure, congrats

Bill, I thought the same as well, mining has been a big part of this state for a long time and while I might think that there is no impact on my job I would not jump too fast to that conclusion.

I may not be normal.....but nobody is...so I'd like to say fore I'm through........RED HAMMER

Heck of a story and find there congratulations

Lets face it, if you played football at all for Blue Ridge during the last 20 plus years you probably got to hold up the gold ball at least once if not more. They have flat out dominated in football. A very respected coaching staff and kudos also to the kids through the years that were willing to committ to a program and make it successfull.

Yep, they won it in soccer too....good programs up there with alot of great coaching and athletes. Congras Coach to another flawless season......we are comin after you next year though....now on to wrestling season where BR will have some great wrestlers as well....

Big pre-turkey dispute over the correct pronounciation of this word. All I have ever heard it pronounced is Matazal not realizing that there is an extra Z in there........what do ya say out there??? What is it??? Some language rule silent Z???

That is what I have always said and heard, but got put on the spot when I was asked why!!!

Amen, you really don't have to look to far to realize how blessed we each are.....

New said the plane was headed to Safford, may all affected be comforted and bless those who are working under the conditions that mountain presents.

Coach, Congrats to your team and good luck this Thanksgiving weekend, we choked on the gophers(yuck) so it is on to wrestling for us this week.

I don't really care what it is, well, within reason of course, but having kids be involved in something is soooooooooo important. Parental support and committment go a long way in helping our your survive what is out there waiting for them. Thanks for introducing us to a Regatta, I thought that was a dance!!! Congratulations on your success......

Beardown, the crowd has been silenced!!!! Congrats to the CATS!!!

I will probably get vetoed by my boss for posting those on my bulletin board in my jr. high woodshop class but every one of them is properly described. Fun read for sure.

I have probably said this before when this topic came up, but one thing I remember my dad making us do was hang the meat out over night and wrap it up and pack it away during the day. We would do this for about a week if I remember right. He claimed it helped with the game taste and tenderness as well. When we began to carve the meat the outside was hard and sometimes you wondered if the meat was any good at all, but once you got it cleaned up, it was really good meat. We still do the same with all of our game today. Actually a great topic I have never had my game meat processed anywhere, just always thought it was easy enough to take care of myself. Good lesson for kids to learn too as part of the dare I say harvest!!!
