My prayers to the family. I had intended to take my family down to Mexico next Fall for a mission trip to build houses, but no more. Reminds me of an ASU professor doing research in Mexico several years ago who was murdered and buried in a shallow grave. Six months later they found his truck - a police department was using it. Anyone who has read this thread, you have been warned! If you live through your Mexico trip, don't come crying back here because somebody stuck an AK-47 up your nose and took your stuff. You owe it to your family not to take the risk. Mark

There is a survey on the governors site that allows you to show your support of the New AZ immigration law.... http://janbrewer.com/ Mark

Maybe G&F was trying to kill the jaguars around Flag?? Mark

Discount has ALWAYS taken care of my tire problems and claims. Mark

Don't know what the capacity is, but the sportscaster on channel 15 made the comment, while panning around showing all the empty seats. Mark

Too Bad! I really wanted "Los Scums" to be the true losers that they are! For a playoff game, there sure were a lot of empty seats. As far as Nash goes, he's a little ignorant of his home country's immigration laws. I have traveled all over the world for my job , and the only problem I ever had was getting into Canada. I was refused entry because they were afraid that I was doing a job that a Canadian could do (flight test of a helicopter autopilot system). Mark

They are not democrats, they are SOCIALISTS!

I'm no expert, but I looked at it pretty closely before I posted it. The resolution of the sign, letters, and the rest of the picture look the same to me. The angle of sun light on the edge of the sign matches the other shadows in the photo. If it's photo shopped, someone did a really good job. But if I'm wrong, someone correct me, and I'll delete.

It's really hard to keep up to date with the Feds complex gun laws, but at one time attaching a bayonet to a norinco SKS was a no no. I think that it might have been before the "crime bill", so maybe it is still effect? You may want to check into to it. Mark

It's all about scent, so it really depends depends on the surrounding terrain. If you are on top of a hill, 10 feet will work. But if you are some place where the deer can approach you from above (a higher point than your treestand) they will bust you. Good luck, and ALWAYS use a good harness and anchor. Mark

http://onenewsnow.com/Perspectives/Default.aspx?id=992156 Mexican President Felipe Calderon has accused Arizona of opening the door "to intolerance, hate, discrimination and abuse in law enforcement." But Arizona has nothing on Mexico when it comes to cracking down on illegal aliens. While open-borders activists decry new enforcement measures signed into law in "Nazi-zona" last week, they remain deaf, dumb or willfully blind to the unapologetically restrictionist policies of our neighbors to the south. The Arizona law bans sanctuary cities that refuse to enforce immigration laws, stiffens penalties against illegal alien day laborers and their employers, makes it a misdemeanor for immigrants to fail to complete and carry an alien registration document, and allows the police to arrest immigrants unable to show documents proving they are in the U.S. legally. If those rules constitute the racist, fascist, xenophobic, inhumane regime that the National Council of La Raza, Al Sharpton, Catholic bishops and their grievance-mongering followers claim, then what about these regulations and restrictions imposed on foreigners? - The Mexican government will bar foreigners if they upset "the equilibrium of the national demographics." How's that for racial and ethnic profiling? - If outsiders do not enhance the country's "economic or national interests" or are "not found to be physically or mentally healthy," they are not welcome. Neither are those who show "contempt against national sovereignty or security." They must not be economic burdens on society and must have clean criminal histories. Those seeking to obtain Mexican citizenship must show a birth certificate, provide a bank statement proving economic independence, pass an exam and prove they can provide their own healthcare. - Illegal entry into the country is equivalent to a felony punishable by two years' imprisonment. Document fraud is subject to fine and imprisonment; so is alien marriage fraud. Evading deportation is a serious crime; illegal re-entry after deportation is punishable by ten years' imprisonment. Foreigners may be kicked out of the country without due process and the endless bites at the litigation apple that illegal aliens are afforded in our country (see, for example, President Obama's illegal alien aunt -- a fugitive from deportation for eight years who is awaiting a second decision on her previously rejected asylum claim). - Law enforcement officials at all levels -- by national mandate -- must cooperate to enforce immigration laws, including illegal alien arrests and deportations. The Mexican military is also required to assist in immigration enforcement operations. Native-born Mexicans are empowered to make citizens' arrests of illegal aliens and turn them in to authorities. - Ready to show your papers? Mexico's National Catalog of Foreigners tracks all outside tourists and foreign nationals. A National Population Registry tracks and verifies the identity of every member of the population, who must carry a citizens' identity card. Visitors who do not possess proper documents and identification are subject to arrest as illegal aliens. All of these provisions are enshrined in Mexico's Ley General de Población (General Law of the Population) and were spotlighted in a 2006 research paper published by the Washington, DC-based Center for Security Policy. There's been no public clamor for "comprehensive immigration reform" in Mexico, however, because pro-illegal alien speech by outsiders is prohibited. Consider: Open-borders protesters marched freely at the Capitol building in Arizona, comparing GOP Gov. Jan Brewer to Hitler, waving Mexican flags, advocating that demonstrators "Smash the State," and holding signs that proclaimed "No human is illegal" and "We have rights." But under the Mexican constitution, such political speech by foreigners is banned. Noncitizens cannot "in any way participate in the political affairs of the country." In fact, a plethora of Mexican statutes enacted by its congress limit the participation of foreign nationals and companies in everything from investment, education, mining and civil aviation to electric energy and firearms. Foreigners have severely limited private property and employment rights (if any). As for abuse, the Mexican government is notorious for its abuse of Central American illegal aliens who attempt to violate Mexico's southern border. The Red Cross has protested rampant Mexican police corruption, intimidation and bribery schemes targeting illegal aliens there for years. Mexico didn't respond by granting mass amnesty to illegal aliens, as it is demanding that we do. It clamped down on its borders even further. In late 2008, the Mexican government launched an aggressive deportation plan to curtain illegal Cuban immigration and human trafficking through Cancun. Meanwhile, Mexican consular offices in the United States have coordinated with left-wing social justice groups and the Catholic Church leadership to demand a moratorium on all deportations and a freeze on all employment raids across America. Mexico is doing the job Arizona is now doing -- a job the U.S. government has failed miserably to do: putting its people first. Here's the proper rejoinder to all the hysterical demagogues in Mexico (and their sympathizers here on American soil) now calling for boycotts and invoking Jim Crow laws, apartheid, and the Holocaust because Arizona has taken its sovereignty into its own hands: Hipócritas.

I had the same problem. At 50, I still have issues from it! All you people who smoke, send those smokes to Obama. We'll solve two problems at once! Mark

It's funny how the national media seems to be leaving that fact out of their news reports. All they talk about is the protesters down at the capital. Mark

Is this for real???? I haven't heard anything about this. Can somebody confirm?? Mark

Basically, it would make it illegal to be an illegal in AZ. Go figure. Mark

The electronic compass needs to be re-calibrated every time you change batteries, which is every 10 hours with the with the 60csx. Mark

The 60csx/60cx have the best reception available because it has a small 1" external antenna and a high gain receiver chip. I get reception in heavy forest, canyons, my house, and industrial buildings. Like he said, more map programs and applications than you could ever use. I would get the 60cx over the 60csx. The 60csx has an electronic compass and a baro altimeter. The GPS satellites provide good altitude, and as long as you are moving it has the compass/heading. The electronic compass is really only good for when you are not moving. The electronic compass drains the batteries very fast, and every time you change the batteries you have to recalibrate the electronic compass. The 60cx is cheaper too. Mark

It's the fish police who is making it difficult. Mark

This is really screwed up! When I checked with a G&F LEO last year, he told me that when the parent transfers his/her tag to the child family member, THAT parent must be within the 50 yards. When someone donates the tag to an unrelated "sick" child, that person does not have to be in the field. How do you get a correct answer that you can rely on?? Mark

My youngest son, Daniel, took this big male Coati on Saturday: Daniel turned 10 on Sunday, and is now legal to hunt big game! He has turkey tags for April and a cow elk tag for Fall. Look out Kidbowhunter (brother), now you have some competition! Proud Papa

Drop me a pm. Thanks! Mark

Thanks for trying Tim. It was good to meet you after all these years. Anyway guys, I'm just learning about these things, never had one before. I am looking for the kind with the larger tires (15"?) and high ground clearance. Thanks, Mark

Prayers sent! Please keep us posted! Mark

Found it! http://woa2.com/beware-of-the-cactus/ We need to get cholla growing in the forest. Maybe we would have a few less renegade quad trails! Mark
