Well since the position is now open nationwide, any takers? I will take the liberty and put in a link to the place where you can apply. I am sure someone thinks they can do a great job and the money seems pretty good to me. https://secure.azstatejobs.gov/pljb/global_...sp&id=25794 packer

Charlie, Congratulations on a great bull, taken in some rough country. Packer

Amanda, That sounds like an awesome hunting experience. Glad the weather finally cooperated and you were able to get in on that buck that you put so much time into. Thanks for the write-up. packer

Awesome job, but how did you get all the close shots? We usually have to take long shots at these guys. Packer

I guess this topic seems to bring forward the best in people. I support what Lark has stated and say that it is better to avoid the negative press that is bound to come from hunting in people's back yards. In regard to how a property has to be posted: There needs to be a sign at each corner, at each point of vehicular access and at 1/4 mile intervals inbetween (ARS 17-304). There is an exception to the 1/4 mile sign placement and that is if a post has 100 square inches of orange paint it may serve as the interval notice. With that being said you can reach a fence line and if you do not make an effort to look for a sign or a post then you could be tresspassing without even knowing it. Additionally, even if it is not posted properly and a person tells you you are on private and you need to leave and you do not choose to do so, you can still be guilty of trespassing through the title 13 statute. In either case I think is comes down to an ethical decision and each of us has our own set of ethics that we need to live by. My personal ethics would not allow me do hunt next to a subdivision but that is just me. I could be caught up in the same situation by shooting an animal a mile or more from the subdivision and having it run down hill and into someone's yard before it expires. I know that this is not the most likely scenario but I have been on more than one blood trail that went for more than a mile. Anyway, that is just my two cents. Packer

Congratulations to you and your son. That is an excellent first deer. Thanks for posting the pictures. Packer

I went to digital camo this year and have been happy with the results. One of the biggest factors for me was that I could not find any other manufacturer out there that made a long enough inseam. I usually wear a 38" inseam and you can get the ACU's in a 38 1/2" inseam. I think that for coues hunting this camo would be great, especially as we get into the fall months. The camo colors are predominantly a light tan and light greens. I used this camo for my elk hunt up in the thick mixed connifer and for that area it was a little light. If you are going to hunt more open ponderosa down through desert I think it will do the trick. Good luck on choosing and I hope you are happy with what you get. Packer

That's a great looking buck. Congratulations to your dad and nice pics. Packer

Nice pic!! That is something you don't see every day.

Congratulations, those are some good looking goats. I agree that it is neat to see them in the pines. Packer

Great looking bull, congratulations. Packer
