I was able to download it without any problems. Do you have the latest version (6) of Adobe?

That's what I was thinking too. Either way, a cool looking rack.

Hey, that is SWEET! Congrats! A lion is definately on my wish list.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply anything.. Congrats for doing a good scouting job! Bret <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh, no problem. I Just don't want any Game and Fish cops thinking that I am guiding or outfitting hunters without a license.

Watch out for the rump rangers!

From what I have seen the past week or so, the desert mule deer are rutting really good. I have seen some good bucks running around in the middle of the day, tongues dragging in the dirt, looking for love. Kinda like some of you guys on Saturday nights.

I am not a guide, I provide a scouting service. All hunts are DIY.

What about the proposal to have early hunts in August / September? I think you have a good chance to tag a big bull in August if you have the patience to sit water and work ethic + time to scout hard. It would be a great chance to put those trail cams to use.

If you pay your bills, they won't cut off your internet connection.

About that time Caesar Augustus ordered a census to be taken throughout the Empire. This was the first census when Quirinius was the governor of Syria. Everyone had to travel to his hometown to be accounted for. So Joseph went from the Galilean town of Nazareth up to Bethlehem in Judah, David's hometown, for the census. As a decendant of David he had to go there. He went with Mary, his fiancee, who was pregnant. While they were there, the time came for her to give birth. She gave birth to a son, her firstborn. She wrapped Him in a blanket and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the hostel. There were shepherds camping in the neighborhood. They had set night watches over their sheep. Suddenly, God's angel stood among them and God's glory blazed around them. They were terrified. The angel said, "Don't be afraid. I'm here to announce a great and joyful event that is meant for everybody worldwide: A Savior has just been born in David's town, a Savior who is Messiah and Master. This is what you're to look for: a baby wrapped in a blanket and lying in a manger." At once the angel was joined by a huge angelic choir singing God's praises: "Glory to God in the heavenly heights; Peace to all men and women on earth who please Him." As the angel choir withdrew into heaven, the shepherds talked it over. "Let's get over to Bethlehem as fast as we can and see for ourselves what God has revealed to us." They left, running, and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger. Seeing was believing. They told everyone they met what the angels had said about this child. All who heard the shepherds were impressed. Mary kept all these things to herself, holding them dear, deep within herself. The shepherds returned and let loose, glorifying and praising God for everything they had heard and seen. It turned out exactly the way they'd been told! ~ Luke 2:1-20

The AZ G&F has approved the fee increases for this year, but withdrew the Class A/B tag structure proposal. Resident elk tags are now $114, even for a limited opp cow tag!

I was bowhunting in 22 on Satuday and saw a decent 3x3 nosing a doe and acting stupid.

There are no pigs in 37B. It's a myth. I thought I saw one once, but it was just my X wife.

There are worse jobs than driving around all day in a brand new truck looking at deer.

November 30, 2005 SEATTLE --A man has pleaded guilty to trespassing in connection with a fatal horse-sex case. James Michael Tait, 54, of Enumclaw, was accused of entering a barn without the owner's permission. Tait admitted to officers that he entered a neighboring barn last July with friend Kenneth Pinyan to have sex with a horse, charging papers said. Tait was videotaping the episode when Pinyan suffered internal injuries that led to his death. Tait pleaded guilty Tuesday and was given a one-year suspended sentence, a $300 fine, and ordered to perform eight hours of community service and have no contact with the neighbors. The prosecutor's office said no animal cruelty charges were filed because there was no evidence of injury to the horses.

http://www.azgfd.gov/artman/publish/article_439.shtml Three of the new proposals include: Splitting the big game draw in 2007, with the elk and antelope portion of the drawing occurring in March for fall hunts, and the ones for deer, turkey and bighorn sheep taking place during the typical time period in June. Creating a fall javelina season, starting in 2006. Shifting archery deer tags from the rut to a later fall season. I knew about the fall Javelina, but this is the first I have heard about drawing for elk and antelope in MARCH, and... TAKING AWAY THE DEC/JAN ARCHERY DEER HUNTS!

Well, I am always right. Until my wife enters the room!

I took this directly from the G&F web site at the link above. 'Shifting archery deer tags from the rut to a later fall season."

We really do need some rain. It would be a shame to follow last years excellent rainfall with another bone dry winter.

Your odds of drawing one of those November archery tags are going to be near 100%. IF they go through with the number of tags they are proposing for the November hunts, there will be left over tags. Who is going to burn a half dozen bonus points on a November archery elk tag? Your odds of drawing a September hunt will go down to Sheep draw odds.

I just hope I can draw a tag before I'm too old to do it. I also put in for Mountain Goat in Nevada and Utah.

There are a LOT of bunny huggers in the G&F department. Don't let anyone tell you there are not.

If you do the math, the 5% rule would easily cover the all of the early archery elk tags and the late December Coues hunts. They are not moving the pig tags to the fall. They want to add another pig hunt in the fall and keep the spring hunts.

"Hows the dept gonna make more money by reducing archery rutting bull hunts?" 1. they are not reducing tags, they are increasing them. Just moving them to a different time of year so no one actually kills an elk. 2. They want to charge a NR $1800 for the early tags and the residents $300 And yes, they want to take the quality hunts we now have in units 21,22,24A & 24B and reduce the December tags to almost nothing, while adding tags in October. Those central unit Whitetail hunts are the last ones we have that you actually stand a chance at drawing every 1-2 years. Seen the odds on a unit 33 December tag lately? It rivals the Kaibab draw odds. They did that to unit 23 last year as a "test the waters" kind of change.
