on an added note-- the ole patch & roundball was a VERY accurate load - especially in those ole long barrels with slow twist and the have great ballistics

Early warnings- they do warn people - been on then news for days monsoon season here be prepared for floods - people getting sand bags etc. problem is--not everyone is paying attention very tragic - heart felt sorrow for all families involved or affected by this there are no real warnings from mother nature - yes signs can be put up to bring situations like this to peoples attention even if signs were up stating this area is prone to flash floods during the monsoon season please check local weather before daily use. I doubt it would make a big difference- people walk by and pay little if no attention to signs anymore. we see this happen time and agin from floods due to rains - loss of lives and property - all over the news every yr they set up barricades to keep people from flooding streets/ washes -- they just drive around them its not the first time and sad to say it probably will not be the last time no one can predict these things to give people protection-

not online except portal ?

reports of 2 boats sank at pleasant - from the guy who rescued them - caution do not anchor up during storms the marinas were damaged and sheriffs had a few recues also guess after it passed it was beautiful on the lake

heres some good read for all muzzleloader shooters as far as what to use -- lots of different views you'll basically have to do trial and error on your own to find out what works best for you try one or 2 of suggested loads--- remember every gun can shoot a little different -just like the person shooting it here some needed information- https://www.hodgdon.com/resources/warnings/ before all the sabbots/pellets -- basics were 100 gr powder and a 300 gr projectile -- usually very accurate and will KILL

fairly easy to google try www.theoutdoorsupplystore.com

not as quick as you think

I guess I need to ask - any pictures of these permanent blinds ? I don't mind sitting but 12-14 hrs a day in all kinda of weather 10-14 days in a row doesn't sound like fun. I can say -just sitting a few hrs in a comfortable chair is about it for me- i'd have to get up and take a walk or at least go empty out system and not in the blind if these people talk about "the hunt" I don't see it. whats the comment his friend had to stay in camp - this a new different rule ? guess if i'm going for the meat the easy way to go is winslow- go out follow hay trailer -shoot the one pointed out- load on trailer - haul butt to processor and be done with it.

on the BLUE- !

older muley on way out woulda liked to seen it 2 -3 yrs ago in its prime

set up on non working camera and a well hidden 2nd camera - pointed at the first nice to know who thinks they own the forests and can just damage others property cuz you can bet he'll return and be super pissed to find another camera they even come on posted private property and steal the cameras

getting nervous (NOW) - lol -Sorry but if I do not see a charge by 5 pm the first day they start hitting cards - I do not bother looking agin cuz It aint happening

better plan on a hard hunt for both those tags - best advise to get off a side canyon and the lower the better easy goin down -

3 100qt igloo - need new latches - already replaced hinges on 2- fixed other - usable used condition need cleaned up 3- variety usable condition bottom blue has handle issue asking 50 for all or 40 for the 3 big white igloos and 20 for the little stack these are great meat or ice haulers for upcoming hunting seasons Gary n. phx 602-993-2657

so funny --not your ticket but I sometimes watch the shows on tv and just about 99.99% of minor offense like yours woulda been a warning now I don't know if because they are trying to look good on tv or we just have some -not all- total aces for our great state troopers. school still beats insurance going up and no records of violation- not much choice - sorry kinda reminds me to thk and stop - Thanks

got a pm - should be spf

usually the worse - terrible sounding bugle in the woods was a monster bull

so if we come to the seminar we can still bid on the online raffles?

u answered your own question - if we had the facts to prove them wrong they'd be unable to implement or change hunts / programs whenever they want most changes are from bogus harvest numbers- easy when you make up #'s to suit your agenda all this asking imput is just a show and we all know it ( proper procedure for open conversation on paper) most know -- like stated above - very very very rare if not impossible to be able to get G&F commission to change anything once its been proposed example--- the commission was told by "biologist" elk ratio for unit 10 cow to bull out of projected ratios biologist suggested more bull tags- now consider they've had 1600 cow rifle tags for the last 10 yrs plus - one might think the best thing would be to reduce cow tags- nope they made a new muzzleloader bull hunt in 10 - 75 tags expected harvest is usually about 35 % so they adopted the suggestion with the thinking that killing a projected 26 additional bulls in unit 10 would be the best way to balance the cow to bull ratio. sorry to say -- written comments or going to these meeting usually produces little if no changes to proposed guidelines

basically ---they are wording it to eliminate any hunts at anytime they decide harvest #'s change archers better read and understand the implications of restrictions in #11

can someone else please check to see if the wording actually eliminates dec. whitetail hunts--

put yur request in the classified section a possibility some only look at that for guns to buy!?

BIGLAKEJAKE or the rest of you if you don't like the rules - Go play somewhere else whining about your inability to express your profanity is pitifull where's that bar of soap when ya need it wanta be quides come and go- especially losers

I'd never leave any animal lay dressed-Period - this is my thoughts this is if you got no help and cant move it and know its over an hr to get help of some kind. 1- bare minimum gutted -split ribs and propped open - try to roll onto branches limbs too get off ground - move into shade -if possible -takes 10-15 minutes -- you got about 2 hrs max- 2- minimum - gut- cut off all legs (hide on) hand'm in shade - make bone cut on big rear legs to split the meat open - helps to cool down faster - split ribs prop open -with ribs down backstrap off ground - place in shade - takes about 30 minutes-- then you got about 2 1/2 hrs that's why takin what you need to process an animal on the spot is so important ***** field pack with bare necessities knifes -sharpener-1-2 ponchos ( to lay clean meat on) game bags of some kind- always a 8-10 ft piece of rope/cord to help tie a leg off or tie pieces to pack or pack frame ( extra _extra )- batteries for headlamps -after dark nothin sucks more than no light to see***** go into the field expecting to tag something -take what YOU think you need to get job done on the spot where the animal falls

not sure what the blk spot is -- bear -- heck of a canyon no matter where it is
