Its not technically closed, says only open if you want to hike in, but the water level is very high causing the closure, and the lower arm is closed to mid June because of the bald eagles. http://www.maricopacountyparks.net/park-locator/lake-pleasant-regional-park/conservation-areas/agua-fria-fishing-schedule/

Are you asking about the lower or upper arm?

That has to be a beast when it's fully loaded, the good news it you can leave it in camp and it would never walk away, you would just have to lock the lid...

I've read the bill. I quess your opinion of "small tracts" of land is greatly different than mine, up to 160 acre parcel, and you can buy one parcel a year, so it's possible to end up with a square mile in 4 years? The bill does talk about land becoming available to adjacent landowners, but it doesn't say how many adjacent parcels will become available at any given time. It also doesn't say that a large amount parcels won't become available all at the same time.

I regret selling my 22-250 before I got into reloading, my I really do currently love my AR 6.5 Grendel, it's a wicked coyote gun

Hold on, aren't your link and my link basically talking about the same thing, except yours is showing the ball has started rolling, and mine is more of a heads up on things to come? No I can't prove anything he has stated on his site that is happening to AZ is actually the truth, you could google until your eyes bleed, and still not find out the truth. I am a independent, and I 100% agree with the bottom half of your comment.

Been following this for a while now, this website has a great video about it. http://sportsmensaccess.org http://sportsmensaccess.org/state-public-lands/arizona/

If your not afraid of some money, buy a Streamlight, I use them for work everyday. I also purchased one just for spotlighting and it's a beast for how small it is

So is this guy saying that if the Bear Wallow Wildnernes Area was properly maintained and possibly had logging and "multi-use" done to it, the fire wouldn't have been so large? I personally love wilderness designation areas, and that's why I'm trying to bring attention to all of this. What I'm curious about, so if there ends up being as massive fire on that land, how are they going to pay the bill. How much does the government contribute when the state asks for assistance and claim it as a natural disaster.

If anyone hasn't noticed , trump retracted the land antiquities act, the put the national monuments in the hands of the state, no longer held by the federal government. If you can read between the lines on this one, I firmly believe the state will not want to pay the bill to keep national monuments open, the overhead must be tremendous. The state will start to eventually sell off the land to investors or whoever can pay, which in turn will shrink the land we all love to hunt on. I'm not saying there are going to be houses soon on the Grand Canyon, but it's very possible. Lots and lots of land just got forced onto the state. It won't take much before a place like Yellowstone is reduced because the land was sold for commercial or residential use.

Smoking deal on a pack, I'll go next in line lol

She is a hunter, I got her first deer in the Kaibab about 5 years ago. She pulled that tag with no points and first time ever putting in. We chose December because we could work around the hunting schedule. She has recently found shed hunting to be fun, and actually enjoys it. I would have never thought she would like to hike 8-10 miles carrying her pack and sheds lol

I'm getting married at the end of this year, the fiancé would like a larger outdoor venue, she has crunched the numbers and has show me the spreadsheet. Two things that seems overpriced to me are a DJ and a photographer, I won't knock on a person of their trade but I'm sorry I just don't get it, the amount of money they want for 5-6 hours of works is absurd. So if anyone knows anyone in those lines of work that's looking for some work, please let me know. I'm also still shopping around for rentals on tables, chairs, porta potties, heaters, pretty much everything, still looking for a cake person as well. Anyone have any help I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm not trying to be cheap, I was looking for references and options, and was hoping somebody knew someone in those lines of work.

I agree with both of statements, I've been to weddings that have had a bad DJ and those getting married still talk bad about it to this day. Same goes with a photographer, I've seen some very upset women afterwards.

From what I understand, once the land became federal on bear ears land, they claimed farming, ranching, timber harvest, mining, oil and gas exploration, would not be affected. What ended up happening was once the lease was up they told them to go pound sand, either halting or greatly reducing what happens on that land. I could be wrong and that's only coming from what I have read on the web

I will accept your donation, but if not...... free bump for a great guy and a great scope

Secretary Ryan Zinke said he will examine whether any designations had led to loss of jobs, reduced wages and reduced public access, because some of these areas were put off limits for traditional uses, like farming, ranching, timber harvest, mining, oil and gas exploration, fishing, and motorized recreation. I wonder if it does open the option to do the "traditional uses" and the lands again

Thank you IA for the great breakdown of info, as you stated it would take an act of Congress to covert the land back to the state, the ONLY point I'm trying to make is the EO, merely allows the state to get there foot in the door. The state land is bill is something I strongly disagree with regardless and is not related to the EO.

Do anyone have any evidence to prove me wrong?

the grand canyon is an example, and i didnt say the National Forest are up fore sale, by giving the control back to the state, within the national forest lies the grand canyon park, and within that park lies the grand canyon nation monument, now where the line can be drawn on what is a park and and what part is a nation monument within that park, i cant say because i just dont know. If you ignore the Grand Canyon and look at the other monuments within the state, or the other monuments that are in the western states, there is nothing stopping a land grab from happening. Last year AZ passed a Senate Bill to allow the sale of state trust land, i cant remember which one though. Yeah i could be overreacting, and this would be a worst case scenario. If you looks at the "Bears Ears" Monument, what is stopping the state from passing a bill, to allow the 1.4 million acres that was set aside by the government, to be sold by the state? I stated that I hope i'm wrong about this, and i merely stated that all this did was get the ball rolling on thing that would possible end up happening. Sure it would take alot of paperwork to make those things happen, but i'm just convinced that it IS possible...

You're right I got ahead of myself, Yellowstone is a park. The Grand Canyon is a monument, and is fair game. Arizona has the most national monuments (18) than any other state, maybe not the most total acreage, but regardless. I hope I'm overreacting and would love to be wrong about this one..
