Kevin.. How long are you going to be out? We might come back on Tues evening to refocus... PM me for my cell... Maybe we can touch base... Are you going to be tenting it? or Camper? Give me your info and you can give my cell to someone in case something goes down.. jason

Well it did rain all of Monday and Tues.. it snowed in town last night but for the most part it is melted.... They closed the West Fork and some of the Gila Monument area... The "little" creek in santa clara was raging last night.. here is a little news snippet.. http://www.scsun-news.com/artman/publish/article_3470.shtml Here is what the weather channel says... http://www.weather.com/activities/other/ot...?locid=USNM0205 It looks like it is going to start to clear... We saw some muley bucks starting to rut a few weeks ago... Also, here at Fort Bayard all of the coues does on the hospital grounds have bucks with them.... None of the bruisers have shown up... I think we are going to hit it just right... I could totally be wrong but I have hope. Are you going to do spot and stalk or sitting? How long are you going to be in the mountains? Did you draw for Stink Pigs? Good Luck Jason

Nice... Great job... jason

I wonder if this is a warning shot across the bow or if something is really going to happen.... jason

Great job...

Don't know the answer to your questions BUT good job on looking for the animal until you found it... jason

So I guess my next question is... What can I/we do? jason

GREAT JOB...Post pictures if you have them.. jason

Man.. it was a joke RELAX KILLER... jason .270.. I agree.. I think... That post is LOOOONNNGGGG

Hubba Hubba.... "Are you happy to see me or is that a grunt tube in your pocket?" jason

Nice deer. jason

Tonight the girlfriend and I took a ride around Fort Bayard(I had to pick up some paper work) ANYWAY.... The bucks are starting to chase the does... I saw three bucks... the largest would go ~90 inches... and there was one little sad spiker that looked like he just had his butt handed to him THIS WEEK IS GOING TO BE heck.... jason

"Hey You Talkin' TO ME, YOU TALK TO ME" LETS DANCE... give me your best shot you pile of sticks... jason

Great job..... that thing is a TOAD... jason

Passion about these topics is good BUT at the end of the day we are all hunters and that is the one thing that unites us all.. Happy New Years.. jason

I will take Chef's advise... bottom line is they can and are charging whatever they want... jason

Keep plugging away.... jason

GREAT JOB...Man that is a nice deer. jason

If you don't like it or the way you are treated don't give them your business... They have always been good to me... I once had a warden give me some info on javelina herds... I was on them thick... jason

By Definition.. Gouging is : to subject to extortion or undue exaction GUESS WHAT you don't have to hunt... It is an honor to hunt... How much are your Sheep Tags? Elk Tags? If the tribe is gouging then so is the state of AZ... and to keep you on track.. the issue was the price of tags... if you don't like it don't pay it... Bottom line... You are right we can not see the books... So I can comment and neither should you...Because you don't know the facts.. Remember the dividends go to the tribal memebers not the leaders therefore they can do whatever they want with there cash... You guys are just grasping for anything... GOOD FOR THE TRIBE.... I think they should charge whinney AZ residents twice the going rate... yah that would be great... They would have three rates. Tribal member rates... Non-Tribal member rates... Whinney AZ resident rates.... they can charge whatever they want... Supply and Demand.... jason

Not for the opportunity to hunt some of the largest elk in the world.. Just because you can not afford, that does not mean it is gouging.. Gouging is when you are taking advantage of the situation... Like charging alot of money for bottled water during a disaster... that is price gouging. How much did the Governors tag in AZ go for?? is that gouging? According to you YES. j-

Your theory has one major and basic fault.... The American government agreed to the terms... These terms were not set by the Natives... If I agree to continue pay you for a crime that happened 100 years ago than that is my fault... I can not blame you and I am sure you would cash the check... right? The "Sovereign Nation" is the only card they have... and once again these terms were set by the American government... If the Natives did not take care of the there land you would not want to hunt it... Sure some houses are in disrepair BUT the country side is in prime condition... Once again the best elk herd in the Nation... So they are taking care of what is most important to them.. Mother Earth not some structure built of brick. By charging higher fees the Tribe is becomming self-sufficient... Hunting brings alot of money to the Tribe and its individual members... That is good... If they don't make this money they will never get off the dole. There is noooo way you can call it gouging.... Gouging is take advantage of somebody.. In the lower 48, hunting is a luxury, You dont have to hunt... You say that you want the Res to be a vital nation... Well one of the most valuable thing any nation has is its natural resources...right??? Well, there is demand for the tags... Let them charge the going rate.... Who are you or anybody to say that Capitalism is wrong... Politics on the Res are definately different... But that is not the issue. Nor is the Casino issue... The issue is the price of the tags... jason

That is too funny... Who cares who I voted for.. Nice side step... The fact remains.. It is there land they can do whatever they want... If you can not afford to hunt the San Carlos I am sure there are 1,000's of hunters who can. Remember the elementary rule of economics.. Supply and Demand... Good for the Tribe... I hope the make a pile of cash.... Jason
