You can get on a ranch pretty reasonable. $400-600 with high success rates. Meat is great and the hunt is fun.

Well, I have to go to San Diego on the 9th of June for the first of 7 straight days at a rented beach house; grilling tuna steaks, sipping 'Rita's and Pacifico, fishing, snorkeling, beach babe watching, etc, etc, etc. Life is hard, but what can ya do but take it one beer... errr I mean... day at a time? So, maybe next year! Have fun. Maybe Casey will let you pet his kitten rug? (j/k, I would have shot it too!)

The ambulance chasing lawyer has convinced the family that they can receive a monetary settlement from Wal-Mart, IMO.

It says right in the regulations to get access in the unit before applying for the tag. You can expect to pay a trespass fee at the very least. Try getting a state land map and see if there are any sections of state trust land that have public roads going through them.

There is a name for that ......SUKKA!

For me, the preperation for the hunt; scouting, range work, going over maps, etc...is a big part of my fun. It prolongs the experience from a 5 day hunt into summer long adventure.

Already pushing more gun control. I'll bet they are disappointed in their polling efforts though. 50%+ think MORE GUN RIGHTS are the way to go, even after the Va Tech ordeal. http://men.msn.com/articlepollgc.aspx?cp-d...50&gt1=9311

Sorry, I disagree with that. Given the choice of taking themselves or their kids hunting, a lot of adults would choose to take themselves. Plus, it gives me another chance to get out of the city and into the woods! You do not have to be the one pulling the trigger to have an awesome hunt.

IF they want to give more youth tags, which I agree is a good idea, why not just give 3-5 either sex youth tags in every unit that does not already have an established youth hunt? That would have little tono effect on the population, let a lot of kids hunt, and save the Kaibab deer until the study is complete. Either that, or take more of the general cow elk tags and give them to the youth. The kids don't care if they are hunting does on the Kaibab or cows on rim, they just want to hunt something. Seems to me the dept has been riding this Bridger Knoll fire for many years. Time to quit beating that horse, it's dead. The Kaibab herd is the most valuable asset the dept has, why are they bent on destroying it?

I'll bet that there is more chance of disease being spread at a desert water hole, where every deer, javelina, fox, coyote and rodent within 2 square miles congregates all summer long than at a salt block.

Oh I see it... but I am sure the margin of error is well about 6%..... I would say it is a wash.... But personally I don't think people like Cho should be able to legitimately purchase guns... That is just my opinion... Like cochranj said... it is a tough call as to who can have guns.... about the fox poll.. I am pretty sure it was anti-gun because there was a buzz about it... the buzz is that foxnews is pretty right wing so everybody was surprised.... j- Evidently he had never been in trouble before, so how do we tell him he can't have a gun? Plus, do you really think crazy people or criminals are going to be worried by a gun control law? the only people that will obey them are the ones aren't likely to go a killing spree. If a fruit cake really wants to kill a bunch of people, they will find a way to do it; bomb, poison, hijack a plane and fly it into a building..ect. The fact is, there is a "Va Tech" in this country everyday. 30+ people are killed by random acts of violence in this country everyday, but when the same guy does all 30, it is somehow a gun control issue. Ridiculous.

I was not referring to the article, I was referring to the poll on the left hand side of the page. 56% of the people said they preferred MORE gun rights, not less.

April 18, 2007 Please help us get this information into the hands of as many people as possible by forwarding it to your entire email list of family and friends. U.S. House set to vote on “Grassroots Gag Order” Contact your representative today to oppose H.R. 984 Dear Jeff, Without a doubt, this could be the most important letter I have written you. I wrote to you in January about legislation in the U.S. Senate that could have silenced grassroots communication. Thankfully, the legislation was defeated after you and other concerned citizens let your voices be heard. Now, the U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote on the same issue. The U.S. House is set to vote on H.R. 984, which would effectively keep AFA and every other pro-family organization in America from providing you information on bills in Congress. Under H.R. 984, we would only be able to provide you information on a bill at a high cost and at great danger of being penalized by Congress. To put it bluntly, members of Congress are tired of getting your e-mails and phone calls, and H.R. 984 is designed to keep information from you that might inspire you to call or write your representative. The new Democratic Senate thinks that if it can keep you from getting information - which is what H.R. 984 would do - then its members will not be getting e-mails and phone calls from you. Representatives favoring this bill are simply tired of hearing from you. That is the bottom line. They don’t want to hear from you. They don’t want you to be informed. They want to silence you. How? By simply keeping you from receiving information that AFA provides. I know that language is strong, but H.R. 984 will do exactly what I’ve said. Take Action 1. Send an e-mail to your representative now! 2. Call your representative at 202-224-3121. Urge your representative to vote against H.R. 984. Tell him or her that you support the portions of this bill that call for more transparency and accountability from Congress. Tell him or her that you reject provisions which unnecessarily require burdensome regulations upon communications by individual constituents who are freely and voluntarily expressing their views on important issues to members of Congress and the Executive Branch. 3. Please forward this to your friends and family. It is vitally important that they know what members of the House are trying to do. 4. Print this information, and share it with members in your Sunday School class and church and urge them to send an e-mail and call. Email Your Representative in Opposition to H.R. 984

IMO, those should be two different issues. The part of the bill that will make it very difficult for your and I to communicate with our elected representatives is wrong. Handle the White house in a separate bill if need be. Even the ultra-liberal ACLU has come out against this bill.

What does that have to do with this bill?

I have done a ton of research on this topic. I wrote an 18 page senior research paper on it and had 8 pages of facts. I wrote a 4 page paper on possible solutions last semester and recieved a 5%!!!! I now have to write the same assignment only this time I am writing on my experiences with the time I have spent down there and if I recieve another failing grade I am gonna be pissed!!! English teachers are not supposed to grade you on your political views, but only on the qulaity of your work. I would have complained to a higher up.

That's fine, but why do they continue to want to kill all the bucks too? They have no problem decimating the Kaibab herd, but they get their undies cranked up their butt if a archer kills a coues over salt?

I do too, for the most part, but if it is on private property, I don't think the G&F should have any business there, as long as they are abiding by bag limits, seasons, etc. I'm pretty sure that it is already illegal to establish a food plot on public land.

Well, the "public" isn't buying hunting license, tags, permits, paying application fees, etc. WE ARE.

They hate it when we kill THEIR deer. Unbelievable. I am 100% convinced now that we have a bunch of bunny huggers in charge at G&F.

If you catch someone stealing you should get to keep what they were swiping, just to tork them off even more. If that were the policy though, I would invite in my Bro-in-law to check out the new rifles and as soon as I handed it to him I would yell "THIEF", tackle him and claim my new .300 Weatherby Mag (with Swarovski scope in Warne mounts.)

There are some motels on Van Buren, close to the ball park, that could be interesting. But I think they make you pay by the hour! Or there are these: http://www.undercovertourist.com/united-st...a-diamondbacks/

I was wondering if a person could add some sort of shim or spacer between the spring steel of the clamp (where is attaches to body) and the body of the tripler which would allow the tripler to center on the eyepiece better and possibly work with my Minox 15's? The problem I had when trying to fit the device onto my eyepiece was that it was way off center and unuseable.

Seems to me they had the best of both worlds with the central unit WT hunts. Good opportunity (25% +/- draw rate) and a good quality hunt. If you are going to micromanage the deer harvest, does EVERY unit have to managed for opportunity over quality? Can't there be some whitetail hunts managed strictly for quality?
