Better notify the southbound lanes at the port!

Headache you are giving me a Headache...

They have been strutting and gobbling in units 34 a and 35 for two months now... these 85 degree days down here have them thinking spring is almost over.

Rolling Hills golf course is loaded with them...

Cool. Every once in a while I see them walking right down the street in the middle of the city where I live.

I could actually agree with this... maybe we need to present Game and Fish a list of recommendations to consider before next release. Now if they listen that is a different story. Maybe go back and look at what worked in past sheep releases that went well, and try to duplicate. I have a feeling that the enviros weren't involved, and a large population center didn't surround the release areas that have succeeded. At this point I'm just saddened as a hunter who would love to draw a sheep tag, at the loss of hunting opportunity that these dead sheep represent. Hopefully we as hunters can rebuild our reputations after this nightmare, and the department can live and learn from this mistake.

If you don't support the AZGFD and the sheep relocation you are a Racist! (Just putting a Obama twist on this) And its Bush's fault!

Any kind of EMP attack by China, Russia, or a terrorist attack will knock your electronic lock out of commission. You can have your electronic lock changed to standard combination lock by almost any safe or lock company.

My bad lol. That study was about lions in a colder climate so I would guess they require a higher caloric intake than the ones here in Arizona. Does anyone know of any similar studies conducted in the Southwest? AZ G&F is currently studying lions in the Catalina Mountains... and so far it turns out that it is correct, they kill about 1 sheep a week. Study is ongoing for at least another 15 bighorns. Then they will re evaluate and decide if they want to continue studying(feeding) the lions.

How about they auction 15 tags off for "any sheep" and let hunters kill the remaining 15 before the lions kill them. At least the department could make some money and put it towards existing sheep habitat enhancements.

3 out of 100 lions... doubt that will make much of a difference. Well we are 4 months into this project and already 50% mortality rate. I think its time to catch the remaining sheep and relocate them back to their home unit before we reach 100% mortality.

Took a another new hunter out today for a free guided hunt. He isn't a kid as usual but was as excited as a kid when he smoked this Javalina with one shot at 75 yds. This might have been the most work I have ever put into a Javalina hunt. We glassed the pigs up first thing this morning about 1.5 miles away and about a 800' elevation climb thru shin dagger covered hills. These pigs were on the move instead of their casual feeding routine I had become acostomed to in this area. I got Dan all the way up to the ridge top where they disappeared in our glasses. We sat patiently for about a hour until one of them showed himself thru the thick scrub brush. We made a short stalk to get with in 75 yds and they came walking out single file. Dan quickly found them in the scope and squeezed off a perfect shot.

"ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -- Federal wildlife officials Tuesday set aside nearly 1,200 square miles along the U.S.-Mexico border as habitat essential for the conservation of the jaguar, a species that hasn't been spotted in New Mexico in eight years and one that has made only fleeting appearances on wildlife cameras in Arizona's Santa Rita Mountains." Fleeting appearances? I have over 60 confirmed sightings alone of a Jaguar and there are others with confirmed sightings which put total confirmed sightings well over 100. There has been confirmed sightings for over 3 years all in the same area, so the myth that Game and Fish like to portray that they sometime wonder north of the border is a self created myth by azgfd. And there are new pictures that have not been released yet that show there is more than one jaguar roaming southern AZ. I am not supporting closing off any public lands or restricting use... but if they do cut back on deer tags maybe this would be a good thing being that G&F are issuing way too many tags as it is.

It was NEVER about the spread of disease...

You see any two legged mules in there?

Brian Wakling, Game and Fish BigGame Specialist, posted on on this site several months ago that baiting for Feral Hogs was still legal. And it would be Game and Fish responsibility to prove there is no Feral Hogs in the area.?

You are still allowed to Bait for feral hogs because they are not a big game species... if other species happen to walk in to your feral hog bait stand... oh well.

Man, you are killing me! I had four cameras out, and I thought that was a lot? It must take you a full weekend to review those SD cards! Its a full time job...

Pm me... had tons of bears on trail cameras in 22

That looks like a high dollar Reconyx camera...

I have bought 30+ cameras on ebY and never had an issueissue
