So you pattern his visits, weekends or weekdays, day or night and you set up somewhere in camo waiting for him to come. Then what do you do once you see the guy there? Do you approach him and ask him for ID? Open up a can of whoop-a$$ on him? Citizen arrest? It's at times like that when you really find out how badly you wish to stop the law breaker and to what extent you will go to do so. Have you tried speaking with a game warden or the county sheriff's office about it to see what they might do? This is along the same lines as the tree stand stealing too and though its on public land it is still someone's physical property and there should be a law against others taking whats not theirs? (my example would be you are parked in a WalMart parking lot and someone steals your bicycle out of your pickup truck, is it OK because it was not on your personal property or is it still stealing and a crime?) I wish you luck in stopping this guy as thieves and liars are not something I tolerate very well. If we were in a middle east country this guy would only steal from you twice and from then on the only thing he would be able to steal would be "donuts"!!!!!!

Awesome deal you got there partner! The old addage "you get what you pay for" does sometimes mean just that I suppose! Glad to hear a fellow hunter was treated right by one of our vendors in the hunting world as only the LORD knows we sure enough spend a ton of dinero on trinkets and this and that!

Thanks ThomC for your thoughts. I am not sure who all they called other then the Sheriff's department and game n fish but it isn't comforting to know that we have women and grandchildren on this ranch and the men are off working or in town and these things occur. They were receptive to allowing X number of hunters access during a particular season but since you must drive right through their front yard basically they now feel it is best to just lock the gate and eliminate the threat. Unfortunately this isn't the first time this has happened and guys have even been ballsy enough to not even stop and ask, but have merely drove through the courtyard and went into the ranch. Given time I am sure they will reconsider but I dont blame them in the least for circling the wagons for now and it is more then one ranch as just sitting there listening to them talk you can tell they are not happy with the lack of respect for their private property.

There is quite a bit of private land on the east side of the G's and unfortunately a poor example of hunters was shown on our family ranch last year! My brother in law/sister ended up calling the sheriff's department as hunters had entered the ranch of their own accord and ended up shooting multiple deer (more then they had tags for) and attempted to leave them to waste, both bucks and does. That and the fact that they came all the way into literally the backyard of the homestead where our folks live and were shooting right by the barn was quite unnerving to say the least. Had I been there I can tell you the law wouldn't have been called for awhile until we took care of things ourselves!! So now the family is closing the ranch off (locking gates) as well as their neighbors next to them for many miles to the north which all but closes off access to the G's from the east side. I wish there were some positive, good stories to tell to offset what we are always trying to say is "the few bad apples" but not in this area. Sad to say but even if they were not my family I wouldn't fault them in the least and would do the same if I owned land there too! Good luck in your hunting and hope you can find a place safe enough to hunt that holds deer.

This fine weapon was as advertised and is no longer up for sale. Thank you Bob and thank you Lv2hnt for posting it for Bob! I told Bob he needs to get his tail on this site as it is perfect for him and his many hunting stories! Thanks again, Kirk

Unless I got a smoking deal on say a Zeiss or Swarovski (and I mean really smoking deal) I would only purchase a Vortex as I have a couple now and love both the price and the quality! Have one on a small and magnum caliber and not an issue on either plus Doug is the best to deal with hands down!

What scope are you adding in with the deal Mike?

I'm still hating!

Who's Mother-in-Law?

Hey folks, I was downtown this morning to "show my support" for those against our immigration bill but I couldn't do much for them as all their chants and speaches were not in English??? Luckily some of their posters were in English (must have paid someone to make them) so I at least knew which side I was parked on at the time! Pretty comical if it weren't for the fact that we are all probably paying out the a@# for the 200 something federal and local level law enforcement people I saw down there. Heard the Eagle was replaced by the skunk as the Presidents theme animal because it symbolizes "half black, half white and everything the President does ends up stinking"!

What if and its an "if" we were all to start ignoring the letter of the law and follow the ways of the illegals? Say we get pulled over, we need not show our license either and see just how far cops push it! What if we fail to show proof of insurance in an urgent care faciilty and just tell them we are illegals and not responsible to pay for anything and see if they refuse us medical attention? What if we had a march downtown ourselves, say 500,000 of us all with firearms shouldered to voice our discontent with the government's refusal to protect paying citizens rights FIRST? I bet we would not get near the attention these non-english speaking folks are getting right now or we would get all negative press with the left wing media bought and paid for by Comrade Boros spinning the story to show us as rebellious rebels out of control, though our weapons would never move to ready arms!! If we don't make a "CHANGE" in November I fear there will be some significant violent acts in the not too distant future but it may be what it takes. 13 colonies seemed to do just fine by themselves and I would bet you 13 states would do alright as well. Interesting times we are coming up on and we all should be ready to come to the aid of OUR state should the need arise. Take care fellow hunters and watch your six!

Tonto Basin? Do you need four wheel drive to get to Tonto Basin friend? Looks like a nice rifle and will make someone a happy camper! Be careful out there J-Rod!!

Some folks on here oughta try reading everything before they spout off! And when you make comments such as "high priced" on a weapon such as a Pre64 and you haven't laid eyes on that weapon yet, you really should refrain from such comments on a quality site such as CWT. All it does is cause anxiety, bitterness and negativity which we try to avoid by coming to CWT and sharing the jpy of hunting, fishing and camping together! Just saying...

Holder may show up as he needs the media attention but i seriously doubt the joke Obamamama will show as it is too risky should things not go his/her way! I hatwe to think of the cost we will incur to "defend" our right as a state to have this law inacted. Shouldn't we be able to state clearly we seek restitution (money) should we win this case outright and thus at least not lose anymore money? I heard the feds are using money allotted to Arizona for thier expenses in this trial so Arizona loses either way! Gonna be some interesting times the next couple years, let alone this November!

OK thats it!!!! I am officially a HATER! Gosh how I am so jealous of Allen and Chef and Chef is right Tony, you need to "Pony up" and pay the man (Duane) and join in the success of this awesome sounding hunt and camp!! I am going to come up just to hang around and then of course I will be hooked for life on applying for the Kaibab as I have never even put in for this hunt thinking it was just a dream!!

Gosh I so want to be a "hater" but of course I can not, especially when Allen is such a cool dude! Now I am going to hear all about this hunt the entire Antelope hunt in New Mexico with Allen but isn't that what hunts are all about, spending time in the field hunting one critter and talking about the next hunt to come? Props to you Allen for living right as Amanda said and I am lokoing forward to hearing all about your plans for this hunt! I was wondering if you would hook up with Duane and a great choice for that area too as he is one of the best no doubt!

I have no idea what to even offer but I am in need of replacing some of my speakers so send me a pm with what you need to get for this set. Thanks, Broken Wheels.

Sure wish I didn't already own a 5th wheel as I would jump on this Jeff! Been in this trailer and know first hand how nice it is! Dang I wish I owned this trailer and what an Elk/Deer camp it would make for friends and family! Good luck Jeff and sorry to see you selling it!

GOD is good people! Sorry Athiests but good LORD some people got some awesome tags! Allen Taylor got a 12A West November tag AGAIN, guys here at IMCOR got December Coues tags for 24B, 23 and other hot spots! ALl around jsut a beautiful thing to hear everyone in general excited and happy and this is what we all work so hard for! For those less fortunate that didn't get a tag don't remain down, saddle up with your friends and be an extra set of eyes as it is just as cool to be glassing as it is to be hunting...almost! Beats watching today's television shows as THIS is true reality my friends! Good luck to all and be careful in Gods country!!

I hope your legs grow together at the knees for messages like this dude! You realize you almost made my day saying this only to know you are full of horse pucky no doubt! Funny though...

This is exactly true....I already have boxes and boxes of shirts at my house because for each new design and color, I have to stock all the available sizes and so it adds up quick. But I could try and do a limited run on some blue or red ones. The colors we currently have are by popular demand and are the best sellers and so I can order larger quantities of those and keep prices down. I would love to do a turtleneck type and a camo version. If someone has a good source for those, let me know. the company I have been using doesn't really have anything that I really like yet. The company that makes the new CW.com hats has some more variety in shirts, but they are more expensive and I haven't had time to check out all they offer. I am open to new options and such, but like bonecollector said, I don't really enjoy my house looking like a warehouse! I am actually looking to get a storage area out back converted into something that is suitable for storing this kind of stuff. Amanda, I work for Interstate Mechanical Corporation and we use a company called Corporatte Incentives (Peggy @ 602-942-8658) and her husband is an avid, die hard hunter as well so maybe you can get a quote from her for shirts and hats! Another option on t-shirts would be those wick away type shirts for warm weather like we have here! Hope this helps...
