Non-Typical Solutions

Hang in there Walker and thanks for all your efforts and those around you. Some of us owe a load to you out there for saving what you did and could......be safe out there

One of the Type one commanders said that the only thing that would stop this fire now is a rain storm, and I believe it..... Thanks to all the fire fighters out there trying to knock this sucker down and protecting what they can.....

Just got word that they lost Escudilla......nuke job......

Lots of smoke here in Snowflake today......first time it has been over here....ugh....makes my heart sink even more....

My thought exactly.....nice job catching the fish.....

Biker, I am working under the assumption that you won't read this since you won't be back to this site, but my hunch is you will at least look one time to see what all of us chest thumpers have to say. This is a chest thumping site, if you have ever told stories about your hunting experiences then you are one of us. Most people would show a little empathy to others who have suffered loss no matter how small or large, or how stupid we may think they are or were. Take New Oleans for example. Is it not rediculous that they live below sea level?? For most of us it is dummer that rocks, but we still empathize with those who lost homes, posessions and life. heck, my home owners insurance went up because of hurricane Katrina and I haven't even ever been to the Big Easy before. When you come on here and say you could care less about other peoples losses, well it just tends to rub a little the wrong direction. Even a cat gets pissed off if you rub their hair the wrong direction. You have many valid points about building in the trees putting ourselves in the line of "fire". Memories don't burn up, structures do. My boys all asked me what we would do if Grandpa's cabin were to burn down in this fire. It just tell them, I have my memories and we will build new memories. Good luck in finding that spot in this world you are looking for where there are no fires and no chest thumpers.

My wife asked me today.....about the unattended fire that caused this Wallow fire... Do you really think people ar that dumb??? Uhhhhh, yes they are........

Inlaws leaving the Chapache development in Alpine claim spot fire came over the edge of TV Mountain.........that aint good

Alpine got a mandatory evacuation by 8:00 tonight......that sucker is moving......

Just got word that Alpine is getting the notice to evacuate, that fire was headed more west but turned north hard and fast. Gotta go get pictures and stuff out of the cabin, if we could get that dammed wind to stop blowing maybe they could slow it down.

That looks so relaxing.....sittin on the bank fishing but he looks pretty focused. Nice job at Luna...

Open your mouth and say AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Lots of game there......that is fun to see, thanks for showing them off....

Lance, If that is something your son is interested in let me know what you need from me to get him started. If I could get a dozen tied up that would take care of me for a while. Thanks for responding so quickly everybody.....

When I was a teenager I did tie a bunch of my own stuff, and I still have a vise somewhere out in my shop. Really boils down to time for me, guess I was just being lazy.

We fished a windy Nelson Lake Saturday evening, caught about 10 fish in an hour trolling peacock ladys and brown woolyworms. Watched a bunch on the bank catching alot of fish on the far side across the dam. The adults stayed pretty busy keeping the kids reeling them in, I had more fun watching them than I did catching fish myself. Good luck, let me know how your trip goes, headed back up there in a week we hope.

Makes you feel really helpless when stuff gets stolen like that, best of luck to you guys recovering your loss. Tweekers or not scum is bottom line.............

Nice antlers and a nice hunting partner there....that makes it double fun.

Nice looking buck for sure, good luck finding him come fall. Congrats on getting your wife out there with you, I think I got my wife hooked last year, that is fun stuff.

Should put that article up in the pinned section of the shed hunting, very good info there....

The gradual indocternation of our society with regards to racism, politically correct, not hurting anybodys feelings, warm fuzzy feel good about everything, everybody gets a participation ribbon and what can I get for nothing has contributed to the current border situation. The current fire going on down in Southern AZ/NM is a result of illegal activity. As said before, get in line go through the process and come join this great country in contributing instead of becoming a leech to society.

Few years back coming out of Globe headed north missed my opportunity to nail one of those suckers in my father in laws truck. Late at night, saw a flash come out of no where, dodged real hard to miss it and then realized I shoulda dodged harder to hit it......I don't think the lion population is hurtin..

SPEECHLESS Alan, thanks for sharing your collection.

That is funny, I had my foxpro and couldn't get it to work all day long christmas day, was really bummed out, especiall when I discovered I needed 4 more batteries on the other side of the battery assembly man did my family give me a ribbing for that one. Good luck on the trail cam, wish I had an answer for you on that one.

Thanks for contributing to the cause, kinda makes you a part of the team right???
