The 3 bears I was watching all spring and summer left the canyon they were in, right before the season started. Now, with OTC tags for 2009, I can start hunting them in March and April, instead of Aug.

Passed a couple of decent bucks waiting on this one

I do. I have a blind on the down hill side and a tree stand on the uphill. It is really steep and the thermals are strong, so I have to switch when the thermals change.

I think these might be some pics of this same buck from last year. This is 2nd best buck that is traveling the trail my stand is on Sat in the stand for 14 hours in the last two days.....still waiting. Flippin' HOT too. There are a ton of acorns in the burn higher up on the mountain, above my tree stand. I wonder if they are holed up in there? No way to hunt them if they are, the oak brush is impenetrable and no trees to hang a stand.

Obama does not even know how many states are in the USA. He said he's been to all 58. He must be thinking of African countries, his real passion.

That's sort of like the when the native americans used to burn buffalo poo for their fires. Probably smells the same too.

SWEET! Was that a general season hunt or an LE?

I will post a pic.....as soon as I lose 30 lbs.

Thanks! I was able to pick up a pair for $1600, still in the box.

Some loser with no job probably went and counted every friggen post.

That is interesting. This water I have been watching is right in the middle of PRIME coues deer habitat. T have yet to get a single deer at this water hole, even though it is the only permanent water within 2 miles and I have glasses many deer in the canyon.

easy fix, quit putting them on water. 99% of water in AZ is man made or at least, man maintained. That means a trail, road, or two-track leads to the water. even if no motor access, it is very likely that the water is listed on a map.

Dang...this is messed UP! To each his own.

I've been watching 4 bears at water up high in 22 all spring and summer and a week before the opener, they left. I assume they went low to look for fruit. Frustrating to say the least, as I had put a lot blood, sweat and gas money into bagging one of them. Not to mention that it is a two hour hike through a pot farm and nasty brush to get to the bottom of the canyon where they were hanging.

If you plan on possibly using it in states that do not allow sabots, stay away from the Omega. They do not seem to like conicals, although I'm sure you could get one to shoot them if you worked at it. I believe you can still shoot the Savage, just load it with blackpowder substitute instead of smokeless. I've heard they shoot great. I like Knights, but I want to get a White too. You can get them once in a while in the classifieds on MM or Modern Muzzleloaders.

My dream hunt.......BIG OL GRIZZ!

Who says that Juan McCain won't nominate a middle to left leaning SC Justice? Reagan nominee O'Conner was not a conservative in many of her cases and neither has been Stevens, who was appointed by Ford. Congress controls the Supreme court. Just look at the fights W had to get appointees approved. You know what happens if we elect McCain? In 4 years, we get a McCain clone to run as the GOP candidate. The brainiacs at the RNC will just say, Look, this lefty won the last election, let's find another one and try it again. I think, in the end, McCain has a shot to win, but in the long run, that is not going to help the USA return to it's conservative, small Gov't, Give me Liberty or Give me Death roots.

Yeah, let's all vote for the Candidate that represents nothing and hope that next time there is someone better. You know what, there won't be someone better next time if you continue to vote for the same ol' crap. Obama is the biggest POS that has ever received a nomination, I'm not arguing that. I'm saying we can never expect better candidates, if we continue to vote for the crap they give every four years.

An election is not about picking the winner, it's about who your choice is for the office. My choice is neither of these two. The reason W's opinion ratings are so is not because he ticked off the libs, it's because he abandoned his conservative base, with his stance on immigration, the deficit, big Gov't, etc. Look at the Dem controlled Congress, their numbers are even LOWER than W's. That tells us that people don't want big taxes, big Gov't, open borders, gay marriage, global warming taxes, etc If the GOP gets hammered in this election, it's their own fault for trying to play the middle. Get back to the right, where the votes are and quit pandering to the left. Truth is, If McCain has to fight for AZ, he has no chance anyway.

Amanda, I think you sent me someone elses invoice, all I want is one 2XL in prairie. The invoice you sent has 4 shirts with different sizes and colors Terry That's called aggressive marketing. My order is in.

Thanks. I'm looking for winter/spring 2009, FYI

No, it's a write in vote for Ron Paul. If McCain picks a pro-choice VP, there is no way on this earth his name is on my ballot.

ShWWWIIING!

Desertbull, I have to (respectfully) disagree with the idea behind a write in name. I see here that you are pretty anti Obama and a vote for anyone other than McCain is effectively a vote for Obama. I see and even agree with what you're thinking, but realisticly it's a wasted vote. That's one reason the primarys are so important. I know voting for the lesser of two evils sucks (I'm not happy about it either) but if you actually want your vote to count then vote for one of the two names on the ballot. I think my vote will count in sending a message to the GOP to get back to your conservative roots and quit pandering to the bent wristed liberals. McCain is a liberal, no two ways about it. He has had to spend his whole campaign trying to convince Conservatives that he is not. Too late, McLame!
