Haha! That's what I'm thinking!

Congrats. But it better not be 4A!!...haha.....I had 6 points going in and 4A was my second choice! If you drew with 2.....I'm going to be sick! Good luck!

There were January hunts for a few of those units: 4A, 4B, 8, and 9 for 2009, 2010 and 2011. Not sure why they were eliminated. Possibly a three year expirement?

This will help pass the time! Or make it worse! Turn up the volume and enjoy.

Text alerts are your best friend. Soon as I get a charge on my card, I get an instant alert... Within seconds..... Hopefully I get one later this week from game and fish!

Only time I enjoy working 55-60 hours a week. Keeps me from checking this website every five minutes!

Thank you. Hopefully everything together will keep it focused. Thanks again.

This is too important to be lost in the Political forum. Re: Grand Canyon Watershed Monument Rather than argue ethics and trail cams and salt licks, I encourage everyone to email against this designation. The same passion you guys have on those ethics threads need to be redirected in this extremely important issue. Please email your concerns to: Molly.Brown@mail.House.gov Below is a response from Don Martin who attended a recent meeting: ------------------------------- Well this is just MY take on the meeting. About 10 or so spoke against it, including Tom Britt, representing the RMEF, Supervisor Gary Watson, from the Mohave County Board of Supervisors, Tom Mackin from the Coconino Sportsmen, Alvie Johnson, the mayor of Fredonia, the mayor of Tusayan, who I did not get his name, Pat Madden from the AZ G&F Dept.,Jim Unmacht president of the AZSFWC, myself representing the Mohave Sportsman Club, and a couple of cattlemen. (sorry of I missed any others.) At least double spoke out for it, including the Sierra Club, Center For Biological Diversity, Grand Canyon Wildlands Council and a number of members from the various tribes. The main theme I heard was URANIUM MINING, and disrupted travel corridors for wildlife...which I sure didn't know about...guess G&F doesn't either...hmm Congresswoman Kirkpatrick, if you can believe this, said "This was just the beginning, nothing has been done and that public input was wanted." Then at least THREE members of the enviromental community who spoke promptly THANKED HER FOR WRITING THE LETTER TO OBAMA! So what do you think? Wouldn't a legislator who doesn't have an agenda hold stakeholder meetings BEFORE they send off a letter asking for any kind of designation, NOT AFTER THEY HAD ALREADY SENT A LETTER? Yea, kinda like closing the barn door AFTER the cows have left! Nope, this was a well orchestrated "Dog and Pony" show. The good news is Kirkpatrick said they would continue to accept comments, so let's flood Ms. Molly Brown's email at Molly.Brown@mail.House.gov and let them know how YOU, the American sportsmen and conservationist, feel about this business. Interesting "fact" was that Congresswoman Kirkpatrick said that they had received about 1,300 comments on this so far and that 92% were in FAVOR of the monument designation. Hmm, since no one in the conservation community had heard about this until late February, how could sportsmen respond since we didn't KNOW about it? The fight is on folks, and if each and every of you out there doesn't send Ms. Molly an email, then we will probably loose this battle, and some of the most coveted and well protected lands in Arizona are done. As Jim Unmacht has so aptly put it, "This is just a solution looking for a problem!" By the way I think Jim said said they had about 22 conservation groups that had signed on to the AZSFWC resolution opposing the monument designation. Let everyone in your email group know Molly's email and let her have it! I told her that she was now going to hear from sportsmen on this. Don Martin Life Member Mohave Sportsman Club

I understand the apathy. Hunters/outdoorsmen and women are famous for their lack luster response. It's just a National Monument....we can still hunt. It doesn't effect me. No big deal. What many people are unaware of, is that many National Parks today were all designated as National Monuments first! That's right. A few examples: Grand Canyon Bryce Grand Teton Olympic Zion Acadia All these National Parks began as monuments. The precedence is there to convert The Strip and the Kaibab into a National Park. When was the last time you hunted in a National Park? Sobering, huh?

We're about to lose The Strip. Rather than argue ethics and trail cams and salt licks, I encourage everyone to email against this designation.

Maybe the first attempt was a phone call? Hopefully you can get it straightened out!

Last year, first card was hit on March 19.

The 300 road is usually closed until early May. I assume it will open earlier since the snow is lack luster this year. A call to the ranger district would be your best bet. (928) 535-7300

Sad. http://azdailysun.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/suspect-in-murder-gives-birth/article_c14b34cd-2393-523c-a0bf-9397dddf145f.html

What?

So, with all your points... Is this the year you finally draw?

Gonna be a great year for an elk tag!!!!!

"Two years is a long time. Two years is also the time in which were going to be setting the stage for the next presidential election and the next 10 years of American policy. So I intend to run through the tape and work really hard, and squeeze every last little bit of change. - Barack Hussien Obama, Feb 20, 2015 http://nypost.com/2015/02/22/obama-is-on-a-rampage/

Anyone else here tonight? Going to be a great show!

What an incredible show! Bob Seger hit it out of the park! 2 hours of pure music. Still in awe how great he sounds at almost 70 years old! One of the best shows I've ever seen!

I'm also looking for new ones. I have the old primos cam. They are big and take the D size batteries. They work great but I always wonder if the newer, smaller ones with the AA batteries are better.

Great spot! That rocky outcrop is an animal highway!

Looks like a successful camp! Great pictures and kudos to all the mentors. it appears those ladies are hooked for life,

This has happened before in other states. I remember New Mexico and Oregon a few years back. There's another state too, but the name escapes me. It appears they've since fixed the issues. http://www.abqjournal.com/16784/abqnewsseeker/updated-at-655am-big-game-license-deadline-extended.html http://www.dfw.state.or.us/news/2009/may/051409.asp I'm not defending the department, but this isn't unique to Arizona. The common theme from the above links: apply early.

Don't wait! Get it done!
