On the road to Alamo- I had stopped to get relief from a few beers and saw something interesting - a skeleton of a KIT fox caught/wedged in the center of a huge Joshua tree. I really had to look twice to see that it was a fox!

way to go! thanks for posting this - looks like a very good time was had by all those able to participate!! Congratulations to all those successful youth hunters- A job well done and an experience they will never forget!

Why are they giving contact information at this time - they haven't even discussed anything up to now ??? I just think its fishy~

please contact - flood the govenors office with calls also Phoenix Office:(602) 542-4331 Tucson Office:(520) 628-6580 Fax Number:(602) 542-1381 In-State Toll Free: 1-800-253-0883 (outside Maricopa County only)

hopefully the commissioners at g&f will be immediatly contacting the govenor to stop this crap

kinda hard to conceal a bomb - needs a bigger purse

the bottom line - whom ever it is - we need 1- singular candidate - we can't afford to have a split party vote thats the only way we can beat obummer - ONE guy for president

please check out the Az chapter of NWTF statement on 2072 issue under Turkeys posted today!

I've been to couple ADA banquets and always had a great time - i was able to go as a guest- a donated VA ticket - thanks to AMANDA and others. They do raise a lot of money for Arizona and the wildlife here - the ADA just needs to decide where it is best spent from now on!. I'd love to attend but wouldn't have big $$$ to spend anyway - hope the governors tags bring in top dollar - we know where that money will go!! I hope everyone attending has a great- awesume time!! Steve - thoughts and prayers to you and your family at this time - during your family medical emergency!

BINGO !! --- we have a winner - this same person is said to run up bids to help wildlfife and guess he could afford to "BUY" a few tags to help - REPAY those special people who made it possible for the rich guys to have a- "basically" unlimited supply of hunts each year for whatever species they want . rewrite the G&F laws so that these special tags/hunts aren't limited to the "one species per yr LAW! As for whom is responsable - we have named the BIG FOUR- guess make it 5 when you add the team effort (husband,wife) it's no secret - as for those behind the stall door - we know who they are too- the others whom would be on the list of beneficiaries of money and the advertizement etc. they will not go silent into the night - but you can bet a dollar they will agin try to backstab - behind closed doors - last minute legislation to gain their goal - oops control! CONTROL GREED POWER the CPG org will be looking for anyway they can to succeed! we know who some of the KEY players are - but weiers and boys do have freinds!!

kinda like our voting - to be quite honest - your and my vote really mean nothing - if the officials on the baords- /directors have the final say - you have to change the board - the greenies learned this yrs ago and now they sit in the positions of POWER. same with azsfw they have weaseled and used thier 5 -6 yrs to get into position to complete thier goal - CONTROL!!

send her to a fur padded cell

I wasn't able to get to the meeting last night- heard it was a good turn out but after Amandas statement - I'm scratching my head I thought this was a special meeting to decide this issue not prolong it! "Many on the board felt it was very important to reach out to our membership and ask for their input. So we will be doing that by email immediately. We will take that input, along with input from last night to help guide us in our decision about whether or not to support AZSFW in the future." Why wasn't this accomplished before the meeting -?? I think I asked why the special meeting was needed when members could be emailed for their opinion- like over a week ago! A strong worded letter ???? right back to where we were before the meeting! so now it'll have to wait till the next regular meeting !? In the mean time azsfw pushs another try around the outside in the late hours to stick us agin - pete - john - ed - art are smilin - to name afew and all the rest of guys at azsfw Way to step up and show us what we can expect from the ADA! still walking the fence!

Same crap trying to pass the buck - it wasn't me - bunch of your are as guilty as the rest - why wait this long - why wait a month - where were you when BPJ was doing all the talking for you and azsfw - what a joke another insulting letter - thinking we do not know what is good for Arizona wildlife but they do! Still dwelling on the past - we did this for you. yes some good things were accomplished - till ya got greedy! now lets rethink and work together - is the pain still in your back ?? sorry about that -guess it just skidded off the ribs a bit - you moved -- no real harm done!

why not call coconino national forset ranger station - they should be able to tell you - but i do think they close it in winter - to save rd damage

i see deer with its right rear leg raised - but no fawn - oh well no biggy - fawns shoulda been already weaned - fawning season in july / august! I doubt 7 month old fawns suckle but i could be wrong !

not sure where ya see the fawn - do you think its a fawn under the deer lifting its leg?

6 fer sure and possible a deer above the bush - looks like a deer body ? or big grey rock

maybe I spoke to soon on the ISE in reguards to wildlife tag auctions it's contagiuos - people get the bug in the ear about how an event with hunting tags for auction - draw the big crowds and $$$$$$$ to bid on big hunting tags Phoenix 12th Annual Sportsmens Expo to Host First-Ever Gathering of the Tribes and Hunting the Rez Auction February 16, 2012 Glendale, AZ…Hunters and outdoor-sports enthusiasts will have a chance to bid on art pieces and hunting and fishing packagessome fetching perhaps six figuresat the First Annual Indian Country Big Game Auction. Showcasing big-game hunting and fishing opportunities available on U.S. and Canadian Indian Reservations, the auction will be conducted during the Phoenix International Sportsmens Exposition, which runs February 23-26 at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale. Coordinated by Hunting The Rez Magazine, the auction will take place on Friday, February 24, from 3p-6p on the shows main Adventure Theater stage. Auction items are listed online: http://bid.huntingtherez.com/auction.aspx?as=22110 ISE Phoenix will also feature the first-ever Hunting The Rez Pavilion, in which the following North American tribes willspotlight their outdoor opportunities:  Blackfeet Nation, Browning, MT  Blood Reserve, Stand Off Alberta, Canada  Chippewa Cree, Rocky Boy, MT  Gros Ventre Assiniboine, Fort Belknap, MT  Hualape Game & Fish Dept., Peach Springs, AZ  Jicarilla Game & Fish Dept., Dulce, NM  Lower Brule Sioux Tribe, Lower Brule, SD  Mandan Hidatsu Arikara (MHA Nation/Three Affiliated Tribes), New Town, ND  Pueblo of Acoma, Acoma, NM  Pueblo of Zuni, Zuni, NM  Quinault Nation, Taholah, WA  San Carlos Apache Recreation, San Carlos, AZ  White Mountain Apache Tribe, Whiteriver, AZ Jason Belcourt, co-founder and editor of Hunting The Rez Magazine, commented: Indian country offers vast hunting and fishing opportunities and this auction is a way to showcase whats available to a very large audience of sports enthusiasts. Other expos have featured auctions, but Hunting The Rezs event is the first where all of the hunting and fishing packages up for bid are exclusively from Indian reservations, said Belcourt. Tribes and tribal outfitting businesses will be able to meet with anglers and big-game hunters who may have never hunted or fished on Indian Reservations. Another motivation for this special event, says Belcourt, is the amount of misinformation in the hunting community. Each Tribe has its own laws and regulations for hunting and fishing on their property. Many of the tribes are in the early stages of developing their fish-and-game departments. This auction and the HTR Pavilion is a way to educate the market about what hunting and fishing is available today in Indian Country. About International Sportsmens Exposition The International Sportsmens Exposition is Arizonas largest, most-diverse gathering of fishing, hunting and outdoor products and destinations all year, said John Kirk, ISEs Director of Communications. With hundreds of exhibiting companies, free seminars throughout the day every day, free parking, giant Youth Fair plus free entry for youth under 16 and active military, the ISE is also a tremendous family value.

JAvi- this ISE has been coming to PHX for the past 10-12 yrs. or more these tags where never intended for this expo- the azsfw/sfw would have started a different /new expo to sell the tags - all expenses paid and special banquets to sell raffle - others tags = all expenses paid and all administration expenses paid - in full before any money was givin to wildlife groups of special interest projects - and of course with azsfw in full contol of the money!!! This ADA banquet didn't have/ (hasn't had ) any interests of the azsfw agenda - They have always sold the govenors tag - of one sort or another - last yr they teamed up with the antelope org to help raise money - the money goes to G&F. All the banquets we have now and have had for some time raise the big $$$$ - the elk - the antelope - the bighorn sheep etc.- and we know how and where the money goes etc - this is the very reason this bill 2072 got started - so they azsfw could and would have complete control the tags and the money. They still want it - we can not allow this special interest group to try ansd weasel out of the corruption and behind the lines blindsides backstabbing attempt to steal them from under our noses - after all thes orgs put their trust in them - bunch of low -lifes that need to GO AWAY AND OR BE DRIVIN OUT! this letter - rather insulting attempt to smooth things over to see things the way they want them to be is as bad an attempt as weiers memo we dont know whats good for us but they do - so come along now - stand in line and take your medicine !

i quit ordering things online and having a computer error screw things up - especially while charging - i will not give/use my chargecard onl;ine anymore for that reason - it sucks when it happens - wait till we start hearing about all the mistakes g&f is gonna have happen - i've heard things didnt accept multipule apps etc - guys doing it 3-4 times - It's the age we live in! i want a new ford cuz it talks to me !!??

so you hit the button over and over and over agin- sometimes ya gotta understand its the computer glitch not the company - I'm sure the way it's set -up they can not correct the order till you notify them - if you are unhappy - sorry it happened - I've never had a problem but then i usually contact them directly so i know there is no mistakes! since all the other 7 times was online - by you and automatically charged to your card - they still had to charge agin to place the order - though i see it as an inconvience - it happens they explaned the problem - I'm sure they were having no issues refunding the exta charges to your account. They will still get all my business- usually the best deals to be found with excellent customer service - i do not see a real problem here . I'll still be recommending them to all who need answers about optics or looking for great deals.

I think you might already owe me 10$ - lol but i'm in! "Stupid words by stupid people LOL your such a tool I see the same 5 trouble makers are still at it. Smackattack " SA- and it doesn't stand for smack attack -- I gotta ask - Did I make it to the big time and actually belong to a group - "5 trouble makers " I know it may not include myself but gee i hope so - quite the honor i might add - if not can you please rephrase your statment and call us 6 trouble makers - or I'll feel left out!

For the record, the ADA will not be pulling out of the AZSFWC. That group had no dog in the HB2072 fight no dog???? but you have the same lobbyist susan gilstrap = you have pierce - hamberlin - gilstrap - green sitting as board members of both ORGs . these are the head of the snake we call 2072 - no dog in the fight!???azsfw and the azsfwc can not be different if they have the same MAIN people!! no dogs but a pack of tag hungry wolfs!!

my first trail cam left in the desert - it's still there- had 860 picks in 3 weeks - 1/2 of them at night - auto flash off- stupid me! lots of birds/wind blown branchs. a learning experience on how best to place a camera so animals do not disturb it - we found it upside down in wash and had only taken pics for 2 of the 3 weeks. hunted friday but they came in late - guess they winded us and spooked. Back out tomorrow - hope the rains hold off.
