    Oct hunt in 23?

    They cut the December tags in half. It's a shame too. 300 October hunters having to share the unit with the Mule Deer hunters over the same 4 days, while cutting back on a really good hunt in December.

    News for Washington

    I believe the only reason that Reid and McCain support the bill is because they can use it to combat the Pro-Gun crowd during elections. They can now claim they support hunting and only want to ban the "bad guns." Reid is leading the fight to keep conservative judges from being approved. Some have been waiting for 4 years! McCain, well, he's just a liberal trapped in a convservative state.

    Performance Contact Lens

    Todays Lasik is much much improved over even just a few years ago. The cuts are made more precisely and it's all controlled by computer.

    Look at the head on that beast and a beautiful coat too. Pretty cool.
  9. You're not offending me. Let's see more! Unit 7 has a lot of 'Lopes that live in the trees like that one.

    any body been out fishin

    Well, Roosevelt is 3x as big as it was last year, so it will probably take a little longer to warm up than usual. Plus, a lot of cold mountain water is still pouring into the Salt arm of the lake.

    good news

    For what it is worth, I was one of the few that did not like the idea of adding October hunts to units 6A and 23.

    good news

    Actually, I think the idea was to to take some December tags away, but add more October tags because the success rate would be much lower, giving more people the chance to hunt but killing the same numer of deer, more or less.

    good news

    Remember about a month ago when they were asking for input on increasing the Coues deer tags in units 23 and 6A? Most all of you were in favor of adding the October hunts to these units. That's probably 400-500 tags right there alone. Elk are increasing by leaps and bounds. I have no problem adding more tags. I would not be surprised if those tag numbers that were quoted at the top of this thread include a big increase in the limited Opp. hunts. I doubt if you see a big increase in bull tags in units like 1,27,9 & 10. Antelope? That is puzzling that that they would increase those tags. Hopefully it is mostly the lower success rate archery tags that are increased.
  14. By the end of the year, you will be able to buy trail cams that use cellular cameras. These will not only take photos of your next wall hanger, they will email you the pictures from the field. Cellular trail camera

    Thursday, March 31, 2005 9:37 a.m. EST Mexican Military on Standby in Response to Minutemen Mexico's President Vicente Fox is preparing to respond militarily to a group of U.S volunteers who plan to patrol the U.S.-Mexican border starting tomorrow, positioning more than a thousand troops nearby, according to an Arizona TV station. "The Mexican military is on standby," reports NBC's Tucson affiliate KVOA. "One unit has about a thousand soldiers. They're located just across the border." Over the last week spokesmen for the border patrol volunteers, who dub themselves Minutemen, have said they will not attempt to detain Mexican illegals, but rather report them to the Border Patrol and track them till they're apprehended. Despite the assurances, Mexican officials met with the mayor of Douglas, Ariz., on Tuesday to discuss how they will handle potential violence, KVOA said. Last week President Fox warned at a Mexico City press conference: "We totally reject the idea of these migrant-hunting groups. We will use the law, international law and even U.S. law to make sure these types of groups, which are a minority, will not have any opportunity to progress." http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/3/31/134212.shtml

    Private land owner closes Arivipa Canyon

    They should send her a bill for the taxpayer money spent to maintain "her" road for all these years.

    So. AZ forest may be closed!

    So, legal citiznes of the USA will be told to stay off their own land, but the illegals will be free to trash it? Listen government dudes, I don't NEED you to protect me. I am a grown man.

    Google = ANTI-GUN?

    Google kicked my site off their listing awhile back because I had a link to a site that sold knives. I eventually got the listing back, but it took awhile.
  21. Anyone had success using the electronic callers? I have heard that cats won't come to them very often and my spring time is going to be devoted to killing a bobcat and / or lion. Thanks.

    early coues hunt in 23

    No freaking way! The beauty of the central AZ units is that there are no Oct/November hunts. Maybe if they only had one 4 day hunt and rotated it on a yearly basis through several different units, (22,23,24), it might not be so bad, but I would still be reluctant. Deer numbers are near all time lows and they want to add more hunts?
  25. I'll bet you can glass up some big 2 point racks from that vantage point!
