Congratulations on a beautiful bird the hard way. What unit did you hunt? Bill Quimby

Before I bought a boat trailer from Harbor Freight I used to haul my 12-foot aluminum boat in the back of my truck and roll it to the water with a set of wheels that I clamped on the transom. If the ground isn't too rocky and rough, 200 yards shouldn't be a problem. Bill Quimby

I have a tag for Unit 1 and spent mornings and afternoons on Friday and Saturday in five or six of my favorite places around my cabin. The birds were there because I heard them coming off their roosts both mornings, but they would not respond to my calls. Saturday evening we had two hens feeding within 75 yars of the blind until they went to their roost and, even with "live decoys" chirping, we never heard a gobble. The only bearded birds we saw were running across roads, and they were alone without hens. In my opinion, the gobblers weren't "hot" yet where I hunted in Unit 1. Will try again Thursday. My season runs April 25-May 1 and picks up again May 9-22, so I'm in no hurry to tag out. Incidentally, I found a beautiful set of brown 6x6 elk sheds Friday morning ... both sides dropped at the same time between two aspen trees. It was a good bull, with long tines and lots of mass, but the main beams were only about 40-44 inches. Bill Quimby

Lark: You and I obviously are among those bitter small town folks Obama was talking about. I also don't need or want government "helping" me. Bill Quimby

Let me know if wanted to get the details and I'll bug a few of the guys that was involved and see if I can get a write up. cmc Thanks, I'm happy we can go back there. I used to use that road a lot in the past. It bothers me that Game and Fish, BLM, State Land, Forest Service, and Fish and Wildlife have historically been reluctant to take the lead on access issues. It especially bothers me whenever Game and Fish, for example, comes up with compromises that force us to sign a logbook to cross private land to reach state and federal land. It truly is obnoxious when a compromise allows the lessee to lock all other routes to our land. Bill Quimby

<<<<<<<Bill I think this is both your lists combined.>>>>>>> Wow, Keith! I hope you have software that combines and alphabetizes lists, otherwise that had to be a huge amount of work. I'm impressed. Bill Quimby

<<<<<<<I think that the laws they were using come under the heading of "perscriptive right", which is where private individuals or groups can contest closing of an access. If a government entity contests a right of way, then it comes under the laws for "eminent domain" because of the power or authorities that the government can bring to bear on the land owner, in which case the government would have to pay fair market value for the right of way, which in this case the judge ruled was already a public right of way. >>>> If it was already deemed a public right of way, why would the government have to pay fair market value to remove a lock? <<<<<<<In this case the G&F, BLM and Graham Co. all provided expert testimony in the case, but let the affected parties take the lead on the case because they were the ones that were denied their rights by the locked gate.>>>>>>> The affected parties are their constituents, and the locked gate inhibited the proper management of their constituents' resources. This is another example of bureaucrats waiting for angry individuals to do what they should be doing all along. <<<<The BLM is once again issuing permits for hiking in aravaipa canyon.>>>> I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to hear that. Bill Quimby

Visit the L.L. Bean Co. store. It's in the middle of nowhere, but it is well worth three or four hours. Bill Quimby

Larkl: If you want, I will remove it. There are no old goats older than me on this forum. Bill Quimby

Does anyone know if Game and Fish was involved in the lawsuit, and why it wasn't if it wasn't? Bill Quimby

We had one coiled on our back doorstep in Tucson in November. I cannot tell you how many I've seen in a long lifetime here, but I do remember a few that were especially memorable. 1. Stepped on one when I got out of my truck to unload trash at a landfill. I don't know why it didn't bite me. I cut off its head wtih a shovel. 2. Was climbing up a shale slope on all fours to get out of the Black River Canyon, and one buzzed almost in my face. I leaped backward, then went around it. 3. Went to pick up a quail I'd shot, and the damned thing had crawled about two feet up a bush. Its head and mine were about two feet apart when it buzzed. 4. Had one hit my boot sole when I slid under a rusted-out Model T Ford body I'd found on a hillside at a mine and hauled home to trade for Model A parts. There were lots more, but that's enough. I hate the damned things! Bill Quimby

" styrofoam( new word for you Bill)" Styrofoam -- Noun. Trademarked name for a type of expanded polystyrene. Capitalized everywhere except on this forum. Bill Quimby

Too bad global warming will take such a long time to raise the oceans. I would like be around to chase some sailfish and marlin where Yuma, Gila Bend and Calexico are now, but even the doomsayers claim it won't happen in what's left of my lifetime (or my grandkids'). Bill Quimby

Anyone notice that SCI and the NRA aren't listed as participating? Wonder if they were invited?

Visitors probably will not have much trouble with typical typos and spelling errors. It's the infantile bastardization and corruption of names they may not (and I do not) understand, such as javi, elky, lope, yote, muzzy, etc. Bill

I'm sure all our visitors will thank you. Your contributions have been noted and added to the Coueswhitetail. Com Dictionary. As for posting the original at 2:30 a.m., my body's clock is screwed up after spending a week in a hospital. It may have something to do with the pacemaker I'm now wearing. Bill Quimby

The .410 with No. 7 1/2 shot is fine for head shots on gobblers at close range. Just ask my grandson Logan Greene. Logan shot a huge tom with his Mossburg pump .410 when he was 10 years old. We called it to within five steps of him. Bill Quimby

Tony: Do you really keep files of all your articles? Bill Quimby

If anyone doubts that inflation is inevitable just read what people were saying in 1954, the year I graduated from high school. The minimum wage was $0.75 hour, cigarettes cost $0.19 pack, a plain Jane 6-cylinder Chevy truck was $999 and someone who made $7,500-$8,000 year was a fat cat. Bill Quimby 'I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it's going to be impossible to buy a week's groceries for $20.' 'Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long before $2000 will only buy a used one.' 'If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous.' 'Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to mail a letter?' 'If they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store.' 'When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage.' 'I don't know how the young people can afford to buy a home. Did you see the ad for that new subdivision? $15,500 for a three-bedroom house. Can you imagine that!' 'Kids today are impossible. Those ducktail hair cuts make it impossible to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long as the girls.' I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying 'dang' in 'Gone With The Wind,' it seems every new movie has either 'heck' or 'dang' in it. 'I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas.' 'Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if someday they'll be making more than the president.' 'I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances would be electric. They are even making electric typewriters now.' 'It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married women are having to work to make ends meet.' 'It won't be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work.' 'Marriage doesn't mean a thing any more; those Hollywood stars seem to be getting divorced at the drop of a hat.' 'I'm just afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign business.' 'Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the Government takes half our income in taxes. I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people to congress.' 'The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on.' 'There is no sense going out of town anymore for a weekend. It costs nearly $15 a night to stay in a hotel.' 'No one can afford to be sick any more; $35 a day in the hospital is too rich for my blood.' 'If they think I'll pay 50 cents for a hair cut, forget it.'

Agreed. The falling dollar is a major cause of the higher prices we are paying for oil, and everything else we import. But we haven't seen anything yet. Just wait until the full effect of raising the minimum wage ratchets up the ladder, with each pay scale from burger flipper to shift foreman to manager to regional manager, to divisional manager to etc., etc., getting a corresponding bump in pay. We are in for some rocky times. Bill Quimby
