    Am I the mayor?

    I guess i shoulda explained better- the catchm for taxidermy was like in the 90's i still will try to use a branch when i see one. usually to remove it ,from a well traveled. area . never thought about just selling rattles , till i looked on ebay! people buy just about anything. ebay not around back in 90's. yes , its just something i may still do occassionaly , nothing gets adrenialine flowing like a pissed off rattler, all you got is a stick

    Catch'm! Whatever method you like. I prefer a creosote bush branch , always find a perfect Y . Toss'm in a garbage bag and toss'm in the freezer , when you get home. Taxidermist use to pay $20 each, frozen. Right now the rattles alone are bring 10 to 30 + on ebay depending on size/ # of rattles

    Build your own pool

    We had a pool for the 43 yrs we lived in our home. Resurfaced twice , once plaster, then fiberglass. Last was a complete rebuild to pebbletec ,new everything from a concrete shell. 20k Never once regretted money spent. Sure a pool can be a lot of time and work and even money. Just like anything ,if you take care of it and dont neglect it. Shouldn't be any extra time or money spent. If you think it's something you can use a few times and not be prepared to take the time and effort and money to take care of it. Dont do it. A waste of time and money ? That's up to you. We loved having a pool , great times! Didnt like it too much during a bad monsoon season! Lol

    OHV decal

    I guess mvd was unaware of this problem. After contact was made, it took the lady 3 trips to supervisors to get answers. They will have a group of specialists trying to figure out what happened, how to get it fixed and have no idea who or how many might have or get a similar decal. I was even asked to send a photo of exactly what the decal looked like as they had no idea! So I guess I'm the first to report this. Yes they will get it figured out and resolve the glitch and resend a new decal. At " no expense to me" !

    Effects of the virus scare?

    I know a nurse at a covid quarantine ward. Since she's been there only 1 out of 25 people survived the ventilator treatment to date. Dozen or more still on ventilators. Yes people are not surviving covid 19. Be glad it not someone you know!

    Leave No Trace

    Trash is a very sad thing to see left behind. Another issue we will start seeing again is campfires. not only illegal but left burning/ smoldering. This the season! No way they can go camping without a campfire.

    Virus perspective

    Nearly 1.25 million people are killed in car accidents each year. That means, on average, auto accidents cause 3,287 deaths per day.Oct 17, 2019 pretty much matches what they are predicting for virus death rate.

    PVR Cow elk in Oct. unit 10

    Drive the rd in the early am and late evenings, locate the spots you see elk and find the nearest hillsides. Elk shouldn't travel too far Get out during the rut to locate the bugling bulls. Find those spots. Check tanks etc.

    Dying Rabbits

    Rabbit disease confirmed in Arizona 8 hrs ago PHOENIX — The Arizona Department of Agriculture (AZDA) in conjunction with Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) has confirmed two separate cases of rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus 2 (RHDV2) in domestic rabbits and wild rabbits. RHDV2 is not harmful to humans. RHDV2 is a viral disease that causes sudden death in rabbits and can be spread through contact with infected rabbits, their meat or their fur, or materials coming in contact with them. On March 25, the Arizona State Veterinarian's Office received Information from the State Veterinarian in New Mexico that they had a confirmed case of RHDV2 in a domestic rabbit and were seeing a die off of wild rabbits as well. On April 2, New Mexico reported that since the March 24, 2020 diagnosis of RHDV2 in pet rabbits was confirmed at Foreign Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (FADDL), 5 additional detections on premises in 5 counties have been confirmed, and this investigation is ongoing. On April 2, they confirmed RHDV2 in a wild black-tailed jackrabbit and wild cottontails, representing the first detection of this virus in wild rabbits in the United States. On April 1, Arizona Game and Fish received 2 separate reports from wildlife managers in the Douglas area of dying cottontails and jackrabbits. A cottontail and black-tailed jackrabbit were collected and delivered on April 4th to Dr. Justice-Allen, wildlife veterinarian for AZGFD. Lesions were found consistent with RHDV2. Samples from these rabbits were sent to the FADDL at Plum Island. On April 8th, the laboratory confirmed that these animals had died from RHDV2. On April 6 the AZDA received a report of a sudden die off in a domestic rabbit population in northeastern Arizona. Samples were collected and sent to FADDL and were reported out as positive on April 9, 2020. RHDV2 is a viral disease that only affects rabbits (not people, pets, or livestock). Until very recently, it was not known whether or not North American native rabbits would be susceptible to it. They are not susceptible to another strain of the virus, RHDV1. This virus is not related to coronavirus; it is a calicivirus. Infection with this virus is associated with a high mortality rate and it is quite contagious. The virus can survive in the environment for an extended period of time. The presence of RHDV2 in the U.S. domestic rabbit industry or in the wild rabbit populations would potentially impact the pet rabbit industry; 4- H, FFA, and other hobby groups; exhibitions; laboratories; and the meat, pelt, and hunting sectors. Rabbit owners who have questions about this disease should contact their veterinarians. If a case is suspected, veterinarians should contact APHIS or email diseasereporting@azda.gov to contact the State Veterinarian’s Office or call 623-236-7201 for wildlife issues. A vaccine for RHDV2 is not currently available in the U.S. Rabbit owners should practice good biosecurity measures to protect their animals from this disease, such as washing your hands before and after working with rabbits and not sharing equipment with other owners. Avoid contact with wild or feral rabbits. We recommend burying dead rabbits to reduce the risk of disease transmission. Visit https://agriculture.az.gov/ or azgfd.gov for more information about RHD.

    Effects of the virus scare?

    Just to clear this , no scope on a 10 in barrel. The reason for broken glasses , noses ,split brows has nothing to do with a scope. The gun literally jumps out of their grip and the recoil flips the pistol up into their face.
