Ha - Jim- I just posted my encounter this evening! I can feel your vibe with this post! Man does it get the adrenaline going or what? Hopefully that'll be the last one for a while! Hey real nice pics by the way! Don't think I'll sleep tonight! LOL! AzP&Y Doug

Coues4u, Here is a chart that better describes the wildview moon values. Basically when the moon is all black that = a FULL MOON> & yes by programing the date it knows which moon phase is correct. Then the smalllest slices of moon (either pointed left or right) = going towards or away from a New Moon. Jun 07 2009 was a FULL MOON- Pardon the ELK"S MOON! Hey post up some wildview pics- for 100.00 bucks these cams ROCK! WELCOME TO COUESWHITETAIL! AzP&Y

+ 2 for me... AzP&Y

It's my understanding that wolves never have the "widow's peak" in this picture -- they either have solid faces, or a solid mask over their eyes. A dog with a widow's peak is, instead, a husky, malamute, or mix of one or both. I raised Huskies for 14 years... I'm still going with Husky. AzP&Y

Siberian Husky. That ain't no wolf. AzP&Y

nice bone- hard to tell any hard bone - or white and chalky? Great job either way! AzP&Y

Great effort & glad you made it out safe. I too have that disease that keeps , pulling ,pulling beyond the next ridge... 27 is just some of the best country around. - True Spirit of the Wild! AzP&Y

Real nice buck for sure... He posed for you ! I'm going with small lion. Thx for sharing! AzP&Y

Sweet bone over the fireplace... I can picture the light catching the tines and the snow falling outside the window... I LOVE any kind of antler art! AzP&Y

Solid desert Muley for sure. Nice pic @ 800 yards...I like the saguaros outlining the buck as well. You going to chase him in 2 1/2 weeks with stick and string? AzP&Y

First of all thank you Dan for taking the time to find out from other SC Rec & Wildlife employees what is considered the proper rule/regulation. I was the one pulled over and in this case I am a life long Arizona resident and have spent lots of time primarily on the wht mtn apache reservation flyfishing, but always read up on the rules and regulations to prevent any 'misunderstandings'... As I was about to pass the Seneca Lake parking lot , the officer at the lake, was approaching the exit there and I motioned for him to go on ahead as his red and blue lights were flashing ( I thought he may be going to an emergency situation).... He pointed towards me to go ahead and I drove about 70 yards and pulled over. He got out of the vehicle with his ticket book and seemed a bit excited. Asked me the standard questions, where I'm from? what I was doing ?...THat sort of thing... After he told me I needed a permit, I advised I was not aware of the rule or law. By this point "willhunt4coues" had turned around "thanks Clay" and we proceeded to talk to him about this particular situation. We stated our point and he his. No citations were written and we left unclear on what the true law or regulation states. Again my impression of the small stretch of road is that if you don't leave your vehicle and you continue on , there shouldn't be a problem. After getting on the highway we proceeded back to Globe, stopping on a US forest road to chat for a bit. After about 10 minutes, the SC Rec officer came down the highway saw us on the side of the road and gave us the following regulations. I read them aloud and my interpretation was just the 2 roads needed the permit. His interpretation was that ANY road needed the permit, but he would consult his supervisor upon return to the station. All in all it worked out and there have been lots of good points made , just in the post alone. I spent 2 hours reading the regulations and feel,I have an ever greater understanding of the tribal rules, but still believe EVERYTHING We did was in the right. Azonecam and Azcoues both make great points which should be considered when traveling on the REZ> HIGHLIGHTS of this spectacular day included- A bald eagle, Red Tail hawk and a Coues doe and fawn. For your reading pleasure http://www.scatrwd.com/Regulations.html AzP&Y Doug

+1 - I just bought the new Garmin Colorado- This thing is the bomb... But, Also there is the rule of thumb there is no substitute for a map and compass which always accompanies the GPS in the event it drops off a ravine and shatters into 100 pieces... AzP&Y
