Despite the rain we had almost 60 volunteers show up and filled 2 large roll off dumpsters!

I was down this weekend and saw some nice carp! I will definatley burn powder on one of them if I can find him come Friday. Also saw 2 nice whitetails that would be a nice bag as well.

Guys, anyone can come, and you dont need to bring anything! We provide everything! Lance

The top photo is a area in 36B and the bottom photo is a area in 36A. We will be sending groups to both of these spots and many more this weekend!

Anyone and everyone are invited! The past couple of year we have averaged 300 people at the events! All of the food is being catered in, just show up, even if you didn't RSVP. We will have plenty! Everything is provided! Lance

I will be there Dec. 14th...

Camp at the Caballo Loco RV Park, you will be safe there, and have electricity and hot water...

that would be like trying to milk a "bull".... not a pretty site!

did you call Border Patrol? 45 guys with bales, wow! an average bale weighs 50 pounds, so that is 45 x 50 = 2250 pounds of pot. Street value for that much pot is $1,350,000.00

Grong, Are you still #1 in the #2 business?

This is one of the areas in 36B that we will be cleaning up! There are over 2000 backpack in this location.

Remember coyote season is open year round...

Here are more good citizens, according to El Presidente Bush!

Here is another trash site from 36B (great Muley area) If anyone ever needs a backpack, let me know. I have found many $100+ backpacks, some nice pack frames and other good packs. Also many camo backpacks. I would love to donate the camo backpacks to some needy kids who want to hunt. Anyone got any ideas on that?

One category they forgot was trash left on our public lands in Arizona. I would guess it close to 10 million pounds... anyone else got a guess? Az hunters who care has picked up over 500,000 pounds in 7 years.

Here is a huge trash heap (ie: landfill) in some nice coues habitat in 36A...

Guys, the pictures of the trash, I have thousands of those! From just about every unit in southern AZ. The pics of the smugglers was not taken by me. And for obviious reasons, I cant identify the person who took the photos. Those smugglers were caught!

Just some comic relief here: I once saw a bumper sticker that read " Vote From the Rooftops" Of course I would never advocate anything of the sort, but funny sticker!

I quit using trail cameras. I now use my new toy, a thermal imaging scope. I can see deer as far way as a mile at night. I can watch all night long. Amazing technology!

Maybe these guys can help... They were working in unit 36B several days ago...

These guys didn't climb any fence! They simply walked right thru the tore down barbed wire, and then proceeded north thru our prized whitetail habitat. Fences only slow them down. We need more agents, and take the restrictions off of them, and let them do their job.

10 guys with bales, and one guide. Bales usally average 60 pounds, so lets do the math. 60 lbs X 10 Bales = 600 pounds X $780/lbs for pot = $468,000.00 Thats a few Sheep tags??
