That is funnier than heck....that has to be good luck.......go figure, I am trying to help in an onery way and he ends up being number 666. tyler, you can glass for me any time...good spot.

Lots of good info and thanks.....I just want my wife to quit getting mad at me for saying huh, well and then I wouldn't mind hearing the rocks clattering when I have busted a deer, actually, I don't want to hear that cause that means I screwed up again..........I appreciate the info, so I guess the next step is a small loan and an audiologist.

Dang it Tyler, you made that too easy, I was hoping for the next question...you know....I can't find 666 on the map and at least I would know he was looking at a map. Lots or room for camping off of beaverhead as well............. More important is.;....where are the turkey

OK, I will jump in here, I have been in the same boat and needed help. 27 is a pretty big unit so lets get it out in the open if you have any ideas where you think you want to hunt. Any of those roads cutting through towards middle mountain, diamond rock, buffalo crossing a guy can pull off and pitch a tent. Along 666 there is stray horse, and spots like that. If you dive off red hill road to the east off 666 there is all sorts of room for throwing a tent. If you want a shower and bathroom......motel in Alpine

That story made my day, thanks..............I needed kicked out of the crap pile.........

Here is an interesting twist to where this story might be headed. My son googled "Phelps Dodge Winchester", to make a long story short. Dodge in coherts with Winchester was shipping ammo to Mexico. Therefore a possible tie between PD and Winchester. Interesting, here is the link to the book that talks about this. http://books.google.com/books?id=yb3p5OlZgugC&pg=PA126&lpg=PA126&dq=phelps+dodge+winchester&source=bl&ots=qozR6GcVK8&sig=qLkTssH9ZjZFxvVUuizqWCgRAis&hl=en&ei=YyzWSZj3OI30tAPCvKmuCg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1#PPP14,M1

First the story: I inherited this 30-30 which was originally my great grandpa's. According to the serial number it was built in 1917. The story that has been handed down with the rifle is that when Pancho Villa was raiding, these rifles were given to settlers in the southern part of Arizona by the government. Sounds like a great story, and the date of the gun being built and the time Pancho was raiding puts the rifle at least at the right time frame, plus my great granpa did live in southern Arizona during that time period. Anybody know any of the history that might verify such a story? Thanks, Jeff

Yep, it has a long barrel, and it falls right into place when you throw it up to your shoulder, very easy to hold. I just barely got it, haven't shot it yet, but I plan on killing something with it that is worthy of the gun. See what you can dig up about the story on the gun, I am interested. Thanks

Grandpa Duke was in the Thatcher, Safford, Virden area back in the day, sure could be be same batch of guns. That is a pretty interesting story, thanks Lark.

Not sure how close you are to a headquarters office, but I have always had better luck talking to them in person. The ladies up at the one in Pinetop are pretty easy to work with.......so four bucks in gas or four bucks for the duplicate.......

Nice...and unique.....who has pegged one of those guys with a bow......good job

Nice job on the turkey.....on our way over the rim on Saturday, we stopped and watched about 20 turkey on the side of the road, two toms were strutting like heck, I think they must have been a couple of jakes cause there was one long bearded tom sitting off to the side just watching the show........turkey fever hit.....I am getting a tag for my kid...............

Maybe trick is a simple term for trickle.....which is what the water does in most trick tanks, not a flowing gushing collection of water but a simple trickle of water as a collection source. That is what I always thought, but I been wrong many a time before......

Anybody out there have any experience fishing the Dallas/Sherman Texas area. Just looking for a good hole to drop a line in while we are kicking around over there. Don't really care what we catch, or how big, just need some good action for my 11 year old. Thanks for any help.........

So exactly how deep can you go and your truck still live to see another day Dumb question I know, but really, just how deep?

Look where they winter range. Varies from year to year on time, but somewhere between January and June they get'r done. Only real way to find out is get out there and do some field learn'n. Nothing quite like it though, you don't have to be quiet, you don't have to be up at the crack of dawn, you can do it with the young'ns or the wife or by yourself. You can walk ridges for days and never find anything, specially if they ain't been there, but other days you can find bunches of them, put that spot on your GPS and don't tell anybody where you found'em. Sometimes the hardest part is getting to where the ATV's haven't ruined the experience. Ranks way up there on my list of things I enjoy the most............it has become a pretty competitive event, you gotta get out there or they will be gone.......good luck out there..............and start planning on building a shed to store all of the "keepers" that you just can't sell.......

That just makes me sick...................puking all over...............sick, sick, sick.............................why am I headed to Texas for spring break.........sick, sick, sick................nice job guys

FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY In Florida , an Atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter and Passover holy days. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians, Jews and observances of their holy days. The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized days. The case was brought before a judge After listening to the passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel declaring, "Case dismissed!" The lawyer immediately stood objecting to the ruling saying, "Your honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas, Easter and others. The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, yet my client and all other atheists have no such holidays." The judge leaned forward in his chair saying, "But you do. Your client, counsel, is woefully ignorant." The lawyer said, "Your Honor, we are unaware of any special observance or holiday for atheists." The judge said, "The calendar says April 1st is April Fools Day. Psalm 14:1 states, 'The fool says in his heart, there is no God.' Thus, it is the opinion of this court, that if your client says there is no God, then he is a fool. Therefore, April 1st is his day. Court is adjourned."

There has got to be some adrenaline running through the veins doing something like that.......gotta try it sometime....nice job.....

We are definitely in the cycle........you nailed it Ernesto......nice post

I know I am probably behind the curve but give this a try.....google your home phone number and then check out the photo of your home.......pretty scarey........

Seems like Grivalja always has his foot on the wrong side of the fence......how did he get elected to represent AZ???? While we have people losing jobs left and right we are worried about a bunch of misplaced jackasses. Get somebody out there to start butchering those critters, make horse stew out of them. Feed the hungry and create jobs.....wow......

D@mn, I just got a phone call from Mr. Paton here at work, I looked around to see who was looking over my back......he googled up my name and called my work, got ahold of me. His claim is that there are people in the state pitting dogs against pigs and all kinds of wild things, supposedly the exempt activities that I posted earlier will "take care"of any concerns..........

I just got two responses back from and email I sent to Paton, here they are: Paton We are working on a fix for the bill for sportsmen and ag interests. Paton Actually, I don't think that any changes will need to be made because of the following exemptions listed later in statute: 13-2910.05. Exempt activities (Caution: 1998 Prop. 105 applies) Activity involving the possession, training, exhibition or use of an animal in the otherwise lawful pursuits of hunting, ranching, farming, rodeos, shows and security services shall be exempt from the provisions of sections 13-2910.01, 13-2910.02, 13-2910.03 and 13-2910.04. I still don't like the idea that they replace with the word animal in the bill.
