Good for them. They have a product that is in high demand and limited supply, has high overhead cost to produce and deliver, and highly regulated by the Gov't. They took the risk of buying up oil rights when crude was selling at less than $20 / bbl. Now, it is closing in on $70 / bbl and they are reaping the rewards of their investment. They employee thousands of people with good paying jobs and good benefits. If our Gov't was operated as well as Exxon, we would all be a lot better off. As a stockholder, I would be ticked off beyond belief if they sold their product at below market value.

SWEET! Don't have a tag, but a good friend has one in unit 7W. Hope some rain made it down that way too.

I've heard you can tell the difference between black bear poop and grizzley poop by the smell. Black bear poop smells like berries and acorns and grizzley poop smells like pepper spray and Goretex.

Dear G&F, Just give me my Unit 33 December tag and I won't sue. Sincerely, Desertbull

The G&F spray the tags with bear repellant before selling them.

Making huge amounts of cash has nothing to do with being a monopoly. If you think that Exxon is a couple fat guys sitting in Texas, smoking cigars, and counting their money you are wrong. Exxon is owned by million of different people, many of which are everyday working guys and gals, like you and me. IF you have a pension or 401(k), I'll bet you own it too. Plus, they employ hundreds of thousands with good paying jobs. There is nothing wrong with an American company thriving. I wish more would, like our auto industry. Just think, if the unions would not have ruined this countries auto industry, maybe we would have less expensive, more durable cars and trucks and gas priced would not be as big of an issue. If your car payment was 1/2 of what it is now, you'd have more money for gas.

This is what people don't understand. Big oil does not set the market price for oil / gas. So, to put the blame on oil companies is just a cop out. Plus, there is nothing illegal about making a profit. How are you going to tell a corporation that they are breaking the law by making a profit? Instead, how about the fact that the greenies have made it almost impossible to build a new refinery in this country? Not one new refinery has been put into product in the US in 25 years, yet we all know that there are many more cars on the road than 25 years ago, just in the USA. Now, each state has their own laws on what type of fule can be sold within it's borders. Cali has their own blend, so they take up a lot of refining capacity to make fuel that can only be sold in California. AZ has different blends that are sold at different times of the year. Those refineries have to shut down to make the switch from winter to summer gas. How about we have one nationwide standard for gas? Guess what? Try to make that change and you will have every tofu eating, Birkenstock wearing, non-bathing, ALGOR worshipping, dreadlocked hippey in the country sueing to stop it. Percentage wise, the price of an elk tag has gone as much or more in the last 5 years, than the price of gas.

Our own John McLame is the major force behind this new amnesty bullcrap. How a Senator from a border state can so pro-illegal immigration is astonishing. Yet, people still keep voting for this guy. Don't understand.

Guess what, beer is still more expensive than gas. 6 pack of Bud (~1/2 gallon) $5 Premium unleaded $3.40 per gal

Skinny dippers at my waterhole. Too bad they were dudes and not hotties.

If you are focusing on the target and not the pin, as most top shootsersagree you should be, you don't even see the vertical post. It is as though the dots are floating in air. I have the Trophy Ridge Matrix. I really like it. I never thought a site could make much of a difference, they all do the same thing, but I have noticed improvement since switching.

sucks to be a mouse

Save some dollars and just duct tape the scope onto your barrel.

I was half expecting one of those cats to get flipped into the water and snatched up by the croc.

He had no insurance or license and didn't get a ticket?

FIRSTLIONWASAKITTEN? Oh crap, did I say that outloud?

I can live with the natural caused fires, but the morons that are too lazy to put out their camp fire and throw their cig butts out the window are what makes me mad.

I knew there were elk here. I've seen there tracks here before, but no one believed me. You would not believe it where these are. Look how skinny and tattered they are. This place is flat out PURE DESERT, prickly pear and mesquite. Too low for even whitetail to roam. From this water tank, I can see the rest area on the Beeline, as you go to Roosevelt. 3100 ft. elev by my GPS. Here is a daytime pic to show what kind of area this is.

I have had 3 cams out at 3 different waterholes for 3 weeks. Got 100+ PICS, BUT zero BUCKS.

HAHA Yeah, I don't want to see anymore than that. That water is green, slimy and full of bugs. It's a metal, above ground tank. Nasty.

Very nice!

Voted to give illegal immigrants social security benefits.

Hillary was on a plane flight from Washington DC to New York. As she paid the stewardess for her drink, she said to the man sitting beside her, "You know I could take this $100, toss it out the window of this plane and make the person who finds it happy." The man said, "Yes, that is true, but if you took one hundred $1 bills and tossed them out the window, you could make 100 people happy." Then, a man sitting behind them interrupted and said, "How about we just throw Hillary out the window and make MILLIONS of people happy?"
