Nate, I have a primo Dec tag but the first buck to stand within 50 yds in front of my bow is getting an arrow. I havent taken one with my bow so at this point size don't matter.

3400?

Wasn't that the same outfit that got busted for boar doggin'? That have pictures on their site of dogs fighting hogs. Whats up with that?

OK say you have six BP's. That means you get six entries into the number generator to try for the lowest number you can get. Then that one number is used for the draw. Say you put in for a unit with 20 permits. If your number is less than 20 you get drawn. If your number is greater than 20 you get the consolation prize of going through the second drawing for third through fifth choices for which the same process is repeated only it is for the permits that did not get drawn in the first and second choice drawing. Does that make sense?

I spoke with Connie in the draw section today and she said it would be a couple days before we would find out. So I'm guessing Wednesday.

What about scents? If there is nothing for the bear to consume is it still considerd baiting? i.e. I heard bears are VERY attracted to the smell of Vanilla extract. Would that constitute baiting though?

OK perhaps I over generalized. For the most part we approach them, whether we know it or not. Some (sidewinders in particular) are a bit more aggressive and occasionally approach us. In that case I agree with the "Uncle Jimbo" approach. "They're coming right for us!"

"If they get too close..." Generally it isn't them getting close to you or your family, it is you getting close to them and not knowing it until they warn you.

Did you know that there is an annual bag limit of four (aggregate) rattlesnakes? And several of our AZ species are protected. http://www.azgfd.gov/pdfs/h_f/regulations/...Regulations.pdf (page 8) It's wasteful, unethical, and irresponsible to kill a snake just because it is a snake. Without them we would all get hantavirus or plague and die.

WooHoo! Back to back December Whitetail tags. Last year 33 this year 21. Last year my wife and I both tagged out on smallish bucks. (first deer for both) This year maybe something a little bigger.

Trout tend to be line shy. I would bet if you scaled down to 6lb test(4 is even better) and got rid of the 10 you would catch more fish. Or use a lighter line on your leader, however you will be able to cast A LOT further with the lighter line. Personally I would fish spinners (black/gold) in the early mornng and mid-morning I would switch to a small jig like a trout magnet or tiny sassy shad. Kastmasters also work for fishing a little deeper. If fishing bait, yeah powerbait works, but I prefer worms. Put a small sliding sinker on your line,tie on a swivel and tie on an 18 inch leader with a size 6 baitholder hook. Thread the worm onto the hook head first and inflate it's butt. (get a worm blower at the lake store) To thread the worm onto the hook imagine your hook is a little foot and the worm is a little sock. Put the sock onto the foot and slide it up past the hook eye. Good luck and have fun.

Both have that little crab claw on the right and a good fork on the left. Look the same to me.

I had three of five under .2 and still got bobcat. I cant imagine being quicker

I see it. You kinda gave it away with the picture name. But the thing is; it does belong.

What a joke. Scientists don't refute things with; "The Facts". Clearly a politically biased site citing old papers and telling half truths.This global warming test was created in 1990. Unfortunately I don't belive that one could find a truly objective source for info on Global Warming. There is some truth to both sides of the argument. It is a natural cyclic occurence, human activities since the industrial revolution have contributed to its acceleration but, did not cause it, it is certainly not as bad as Al Gore lets on. However the polar bears really are screwed. I find it really amusing that the same people who will claim to know the consensus of scientist are also quite adamantly anti-evolution. It seems science is only good when it meets your agenda.

It has pros and cons. Pro: the arrow will never fall off the rest. Con: I had an elk hear me draw and stop behind a tree and then never offer me a shot. probably could have happened with any rest I was shooting though.

Casey, that whopper trout was Felicia's first flyfishing all by herself trout. It's a little brookie from a secret creek in AZ, caught on a foam post Parachute Adams

Now if I could only get her into archery.

64.24 sec On my first try. Maybe I should be a pilot.

Well as for a clue I supose we could look at the gila monster. If it is a banded gila monster then the hogs are north of the valley, if it is a reticulated gila monster then the hogs are south of the valley. If I had to guess I would say it was a banded gila monster thus those hogs are likely to be in unit @@ or @# in the *&^%$$&% mountains. Thats kinda where I heard they were at anyways. Just been too lazy to go look.

113,800 level 12 first try.

I doubt any made it to Guyana but, the Army bases in Panama imported eastern whitetails for the soldiers and they adapted pretty well from what I hear.

A bunch of idiots carelessly driving around in the woods. You don't need to go to YouTube to see that, just wait til the elk drop their antlers. And check your local elk woods.
