I live at Germann and Higley, we got just enough to muddy up the windshield.

I saw today. It says "Thank you, enviroMENTAList!" LOL!

Anyone wanting a chance at a good Sitka buck should give Johnnie Laird a call. http://www.muskegexcursions.com/

Logging doesn't put nutrients and minerals back into the soil like fire does. Plus, there is alot of "slash" left in logging that just adds fuel to the forest floors. Don't get me wrong, I am all for responsible logging, it does help when done right, but fire is still preferable. Plus, there are trees that actually must have fire to in order for their seeds to germinate.

I believe, if left alone, the forest can manage its self. That means quit putting out every little fire that starts.

Coconino closed. Portions of Tonto closed. Look for more closures after the holiday weekend. Better get your cameras out while you can.

Oh.. I forgot... Some of the execs at the Trading Post were talking about Nugent... I guess he wanted over $50,000 for the weekend.. PLEASE... Nugent is just annoying... I don't know about how much outside financial backing he had but I know he put his butt on the line with some BIG LOANS... From just talking to him, he seemed like a decent guy to share a camp with... he can be my "wingman" any time.. I would hunt with Adams over Nugent any day. And who cares if he had financial backing or doesn't scout for all his hunts? If I was to draw a tag in Wyoming, Montana, Oregon, etc, I sure as heck would not be able to swing the time for a scouting trip.

Whoever bought them got a deal. They are going for $1000 plus now brand new. I have the exact same pair and I like them alot. I know some people have had trouble with them fitting their eyes, but they work great for me.

I went out this morning to one of my fav whitetail areas near Globe. Usually don't see many bears in this area until the pears ripen up. Every trail was loaded up with fresh bear crap. This area is cactus and junipers. There is one remote spring that I hiked into and I think a bear was using the spring trough as a bath tub. It was amazing the amount of bear tracks and crap in this area. There is another spring trough right near the road and the same thing there. Tracks and crap everywhere, even in the middle of the road. I think the big'ens are taking over the water holes and keeping everything else out. Also Looks like they are knocking over the yuccas and getting the fruit even though it is still green.

I would love to go back there and see a tree stand hanging. My only decision would be to either take a dump on the seat or tie a rattle snake in the branches above it.

I am about ready to sell all my cams and give up. I just got back from checking on them and another one was stolen. That's two in 6 weeks and it's not like they are near the road or trails. The cheap some beaches even stole my $2 salt block. I knew it was gone the second I started hiking down the trail and saw the quad tracks. It's a two mile to the remote spring I have had this cam on . I would love to just catch one of these losers,just once. Not sure I could dig a deep enough hole in the rocks to bury his/her body completely though.

I hate to see people lose their posessions, but the fire is good for habitat. In a couple of years people will be complaining about all the elk and bears in the canyon.

That's what I applied for too but was DENIED! Good Luck!

I do not know enough about her to say yea or nea, but maybe if we started using biological fact to manage wildlife in Arizona instead of economical/political gain, we would all be better off? If he really did say that about her "young family", that is a friggen embarrassment. Everytime someone gets caught with their foot in their eating orafice, they claim they were taken out of context. Also, I have emailed this Pete guy several times about AZSFW and he has never once responded.

I'll be hunting the elusive JACK SQUAT in NM.

Everyone thought the Rodeo Fire was a disaster too, and it was for the people that lost homes and businesses, but I see more elk and deer in there now than ever before. I think that big fire they had on Mt Lemmon was the best thing to happen there too. Not the houses lost, that was terrible, but just for the health of the mountain. There are ALOT of Coues in that burn now. I heard they were letting at least one of the North Kaibab fires burn.

It now says on the NM website - " applicants have until midnight MDT June 24 to change their credit card account information." Why did they change that? How can you change your card info on the 24th if the draw is complete and results to be posted on the 21st?

Sorry to hear that, but God works in mysterious ways. You don't know what might have become of you if you would not have had such a first hand experience with drinking and abuse. Look at all the people that grow up in seemingly wonderful households that end up losers at life.

The one I had used a tape player for a hard drive! You had to rewind the tape to load a file off of it.

Television and video games will cause your kids more brain damage that falling off their bike and cracking their dome on the curb.

It seems like it's been two years since I sent them a check. What takes them guys so friggen long? Maybe they still use Commodore 64's to process the apps in NM?

Hee Hee SUCKER!

for new Winners Choice cables and strings installed and which shop in the valley? Please don't say Archery Headquarters or Bear Mountain, for personal reasons. Is the Sportsmen's Warehouse pro shop worthy of time and money? They are the most convienent for me. 2 cam bow (actually it is a Hoyt cam and 1/2) with a split harness. Thanks!

They could up the odds for drawing an antelope tag real quick by making one change. If you apply for early elk, sheep, or North of the Co. River deer, you cannot apply for antelope.

If you make it a 3 year wait, by the end of the 3rd year there will be thousands not able to apply for bull elk. It sure cannot hurt the odds. But if you look at it from the G&F viewpoint, those are thousands of $5 app fees lost.
