    WTB a small utility trailer.

    I bought a 4x7 for cheap and ended up having to replace the springs and tires. The darn thing had different springs from one side to the other. Take a close look at the underside with the axle, bearings and wheels before you buy, unless you like to work on them. There are sure a lot of homemade ones out there that aren't so great. Good thing it was close to the house when the springs let go on my poor son who undoubtedly deserved it for some kind of past bad behavior!
  2. Find a mentor. You guys up there near Safford have "The Bird Finger" who may be a good source of info and at least have birds and some trained dogs. Go make friends. Down in Sierra Vista, there is the Cochise Bird Dog Club who have lots of great guys. You may want to ask around if Safford area has one. Gundogforum is also a great source of info. Lots of folks for the first year just say to let the dog have fun and bond with you. Make sure he has "come" down and that you are best buds and having fun. Don't rush, especially to see if he is gun shy.

    Now don't be bashing softball! But now that he brought it up, can you say dyanasty? UCLA (BLAH) and UofA together hold more softball championships together than all other teams combined. And by the way, I was rooting on ASU the other year they won the championship. ScumDevil: you need to get a life.
  14. Getting off the bus, I saw this muey macho Red Truck (large offroad tires and really loud exhast system) going north on La Canada just north of Magee on 3-22-12 at about 6:30 pm. I thought to myself that it was a good road hunting truck!

    I'm not so sure that Del is that out of line, albeit maybe not tactful. In Tucson and in Phoenix, I do believe it is illegal to feed wildlife. I know that on Saguaro East, G&F did a scat survey on coyotes and 80% was dog food. When javelina and coyotes become acclimated to humans from feeding, they become dangerous, not to mention that the higher concentration of prey can bring in the mountain lions. The title on your post indicated these javelina were being fed dog food, which really isn't a good idea. I did a search on the G&F website and found: Q: Should I feed wildlife? A: Wildlife encounters around your home can be enjoyable, but at times may be cause for concern. Many Arizona residents feed wildlife, including birds, because we want to see them around our homes. When done properly, feeding can be the source of much interest and enjoyment. Keep in mind that feeding small wild animals can have unintended consequences, such as attracting rodents or larger predators. There are also certain animals that should never be fed because they can become a nuisance or even a threat to human safety, such as bears, coyotes and javelina. These animals, when fed, become comfortable with humans and may become aggressive. If this happens, the animal must be removed at great expense and with dire consequences for the animal. Aggressive animals are often either killed or relocated, and relocation results in very low survival rates. In fact, you can often do these animals a favor by going out of your way to make them uncomfortable. If they keep their natural fear of people, they are less likely to become a nuisance and more likely to live a longer life. In 2006, the Arizona Legislature passed a “no feeding wildlife” law, making it illegal to feed wildlife (except birds and tree squirrels) in Pima and Maricopa counties. Tree squirrels are generally those found in the mountains, such as Abert’s and Arizona tree squirrels. Squirrels in the low deserts of Phoenix and Tucson are generally ground squirrels, including Harris’ antelope squirrels, round-tailed ground squirrels and rock squirrels. If wildlife feeding in your neighborhood is causing large animals to become bold, please contact your local Game and Fish office.
