Sent you a PM.

I have not seen 5 round AR Mags but 10's are pretty common.

That has 25 pounds of drag which should be more than enough to tire out a 40 pound fish but you could go to 50# Power Pro, I like PLINE Flouroclear. I would set the drag light and once you have a fish on you can gradually make it a bit tighter after the first run and if it wants to go just let it as it will eventually tire out after a few runs (hopefully) but i make the fish work for more line and keep just enough pressure on to let it know I'm there. Fishing a river with rocks and whatnot I'd opt for a different line than can handle the abrasiveness and retie often. I can't speak for using Circle Hooks as I have only used them for Tuna and Tarpon.

Crazy what some people will do. My son and I were up near Lake Mary Elk hunting one year and found a little economy car about 150 yards into the forest. Nobody was around and it looked like it had been there for a few days.

What reel are you using and what are you setting your drag at? Are you using mono?

I received an email last Thursday to update my card by Sunday Night.

I have had no problems finding shotgun shells (unlike affordable 22)and still have most of a case I bought from Sportsmans last year.

Love that picture of the Jack Rabbit.

I've never seen a Tiger Rattler in the wild, at 2' it would just make a hat band. I love to find snakes as long as I get to see (or hear) them first.

Is the forage different at the higher elevations?

Smart to wait until after the 4th.

Is it the same thing like the waterfowl stamp you slap on your license? Or is it another piece of paper?[/size] The 2014/2015 Stamp probably is available now. I think they run June to June.

kill them all, just be sure its collared. I find they are a little tougher to penetrate with 7 1/2 shot so I keep a few #6's if they're out at 30 yards.

Awesome.

Yup, they eat termites and ants.

That is awful! I am not happy to hear that, but glad that you said something. I will be sure to keep this in mind for future rifle purchases. Agreed.

Caught a few drops this morning at Rio Salado Sportsmans Club but nothing yet in the East Valley.

No idea what you're talking about.

Bob I think the point he was trying to make is when you have a few kids to also buy tags for it can add up.

Got my Scopace, I ready!

This is a good way to see whose catching. http://www.sportfishingreport.com/pages/docktotals.php

Woke up to the smell of rain. Maybe we'll get a little today.

I'd rather be scent free but in my experience I pay more attention to the wind direction and where I walk to keep the sound down but in this terrain that is always a challenge especially by mid morning when the dew dissipates and the ground becomes more noisey. In the open terrain voices can carry 700 yards with no problem.

1 in 10, whose barrel are you running? I've always liked 1 in 9 1/4 myself.

I've never see a live one in the wild but a friend lives up in New River and he has posted pics and video of three different ones at his place over the last couple of months.
