Non-Typical Solutions

We used the Buddy Heater as well but couldn't get the dang fan to not go off at 2:00am........that Buddy Heater kept the wife toasty!!!!

OK that is just a little too cold!!!

No response for my petition......

That sounds like a great idea....thanks!! I worried about that.....also one thing, I didn't really need my Honda generator on but I decided to give the cord a pull and honestly.....at 20 degrees it didn't do too hot

Thanks John, we had a great time and everything went really well, just trying to iron out my rookie bugs. Would replacing that switch make it less touchy? I always hate bothering you with my questions but like a trooper you responded anyway!!! Thanks....

I just want a participation ribbon that says I went out and had a good time in the woods, I can't get close and I can't shoot far so somewhere in the middle I have no wall hanger trophies but hundreds of wall hanger memories built off of experiences trying to get close and trying to shoot far! The only thing that made any of those experiences trophies was the fact that most of them were with either my dad, brother, wife or one of my sons plus upon occasion some really great friends. Can't measure with a tape or a mile meter but trophies just the same!!! 850 yards or 12 either is irrelevant in my trophy case!!! Fun thread to read though!!!!

Prayers for Gabi and parents! Fight hard definitely brings us to our knees when things like this happen!

A top staffer for an Arizona congressman threatens to sue him for being too often drunk at work and creating a hostile work environment. So naturally, she is quietly given a $48,000 payoff – courtesy of you and me. Rep. Raúl Grijalva in 2015 agreed to give the woman five months’ pay to keep her mouth shut and go away, according to the Washington Times. This, just three months after she began working for him. Not harassment, but what exactly? Grijalva’s response? Hey, at least I wasn’t accused of sexual harassment. “On the advice of House Employment Counsel, I provided a severance package to a former employee who resigned,” he said, in a statement provided to the Times. “The severance did not involve the Office of Compliance and at no time was any allegation of sexual harassment made, and no sexual harassment occurred.” Well, credit to Grijalva for keeping his hands to himself. But showing up to represent the state of Arizona while three sheets to the wind? Is it true? It seems we aren't entitled to know. Grijalva said he couldn’t provide any further details due to an agreement to keep this thing confidential. "Regrettably, for me to provide any further details on this matter would violate the agreement,” he told the Times. Well, isn’t that just wonderful? The public can supply hush money. We just aren’t allowed to know the details of what, exactly, is being hushed up. We've paid millions to hush accusers

Hope this day finds all cylinders hitting they way they are supposed to. Always enjoy your viewpoint on CWT topics!!!

I didn't want to hijack another thread but the Sonoran post regarding vehicle requirements/information was pretty mind boggling to me! It would appear that it is more difficult to roam around free Mexico than it is the profiling American standard? Why is there so much blow back on the USA for showing interest in enforcing laws that are already in the books when other countries have much stricter "laws"? After reading this post about what I can take and how I can take it, I am sure I would end up in a Mexican prison for some violation!!! I mean really....no capes with ticks but hey, let the pot smuggling mule trains come right on through!!! Ernesto thanks so much for trying to help us understand some of the new regulations for taking vehicles into Mexico. We should use this post to help everyone that is going down to Mexico this season. Please feel free to add comments if you have concrete info. 1. Vehicles have to be in your personal name and in the drivers name. 2. If taking a trailer the trailer has to be in the drivers personal name. 3. If taking a quad or utv they also have to be in the driver of the towing vehicles personal name. 4. You cannot mix and match different owners on the trailer, quads or UTV's. Everything has to be in the drivers name. 5. I have been told no flatbed trucks and no dual tire trucks (no confirmation on this yet) 6. I have been told no commercial vehicles. (i highly recommend personal name vehicles) 7. You must have the title or the registration that is valid and up to date. 8. I have been told by some that if the vehicle is over 7716 (which is any 3/4 or larger vehicle) is will not be eligible to pass into Mexico. Conversely, I have been told that it is ok to be over 7716 but you just have to pay more. (if someone gets concrete info on this please keep us informed) 9. I always make copies of my passport, drivers license, title, registration etc. Multiple copies. 10. I have seen it done where the truck is in a company name or LLC. I have seen it work where on company letterhead it states that Joe Blow has the authority and permission to take the xxxx vehicle with license plate XXX into mexico for these dates. (I'm not sure if that is going to work anymore) 11. I dont think it would hurt to have a letter that is notarized that says that the vehicle is for personal use only and is not a commercial vehicle. (I think they are trying to crack down on commercial vehicles entering into Mexico) As I get more info I will try to share it on here. Remember No Capes with ticks can cross into the US. Pick them clean so that we make all hunters look good.

Cool pictures......seems like a thorny bed though don't you think

I agree, I am not an ASU fan but I do pay some attention to it and I thought Graham was a good man and good for players but maybe I don't know enough about the program! What does Sumlin have that would help him in the recruiting department!

Why is that? I mean why such a poor job recruiting? Is it money? Scholarships? Or mostly nobody wants to play in AZ?

The amount of money these colleges are paying head coaches that have been fired is ridiculous! UofA blew the game and ASU is starting all over again.......and Nik Saban lost to Auburn so he might be looking for a new job too

Nice looking buck, congrats!

Pictures.....very cool to call in the big cat.....hair raising experience???

Nice job calling.....you make it sound sooooo easy!!!

Exactly the attitude the antis want you to have. We dont hunt elephants, so who cares. We dont hunt lions so who cares. We dont hunt sheep so who cares. See how it works? Divide and conquer. Take a look at any of the political crap that we are knee deep in today and it is because of the slow cooking of the frog......one reason why the fight for gun rights ends up sideways, bathroom rights, kneeling for the flag.....the list has gotten long!!!! Hunting is hunting, whether in Africa or AZ.....and once that door gets cracked open it is Katie bar the door too late!!!

I thinking the same thing. Makes me think I should go shoot my gun sometime before my elk hunt. I am just excited you went and got re-aquainted with your gun before the hunt!!! Excited to go find a bull and swap stories!!!

Alpine......the new sanctuary city

they need to ban something......quick. Contact Lavar Ball I bet he has a solution!!! I have spent many a day sitting on the back porch of my Dad's summer home in Alpine.....listening to all types of shooting going on......Lord really knows where it is coming from! I have been tempted to shoot wandering coyotes off the back porch but.......it ain't worth the risk of having something screwwy like a ricochet bullet going off and hitting the neighbor, or his horse or his cow........and yes we have had bulls and bucks and bears! The common sense law is use your brain and don't be stupid!!!

For those of you who haven't met this kid, he is an inspiration to anyone who believes that hard work and persistence can prevail! I enjoyed watching him at various tournaments during his high school years and also kept tabs on him in college! It's that time of year to strap on the headgear and get after it!!!

No wonder people struggle with Pubic Education these days! Make sure you make it all the way to the last paragraph!!! Schools reject controversial scholarship By Alice Kang | Posted: Wed 3:11 PM, Nov 08, 2017 (WMTV) — A high school in Wisconsin is no longer accepting a $500 scholarship from a local Lions Club after a stipulation required recipients to be U.S. citizens. Lake Mason Lions Club Spokesperson, Ralph Jacobsen said this has been a requirement for the past five years. School officials said they did not see it until this year, saying there was a handwritten note stating the group wanted the requirement of being a U.S. citizen underlined. Wisconsin Dells High School Principal, Hugh Gaston said that raised red flags and the district felt the scholarship requirements were not fair for all students. "Regardless of if they were born in Baraboo and grew up a block from the school, or if they were born in another country and they came here legally or illegally, I still think it's our mission to serve and connect with all students regardless of their background," said Gaston.

Were you any where near Hatchett Mountain??? Is the access to that area still pretty tough?
