    Plantar fasciitis

    Get new expensive well fitting boots and shoes. There is a cast at Walgreens that holds your foot so that the plantar cannot shrink while you sleep. It takes for ever for it to heal. Over a year for me.

    One Caliber in Arizona

    Most people would be better off with one Deer/Elk rifle. Spend all practice time with it. Be good with it.

    Read the old post on big game tags.

    Yep the same dirty dogs have been lying in wait. They are back again with a different look for the same outcome just like PETA and HSUS.

    Dang i love Stripers!

    Now that is a nice stripper. Zip up.
  11. I'll be there Monday. My brother said he showed up a little late tonight. Said any questioning of motives or disagreements was treated very defensively rather than looked at as trying to come up with different ideas. Said the guy that came up with the $2 habitat stamp had the board stumped like they never thought that was a possibility (or they dont want it a possibility) add a $5 stamp or license increase on all licenses and they'll have money coming out of their ears and the tags can be left alone. If they insist on the tags its obvious their one mission is the tags and only the tags. Who was your brother? The habitat stamp idea works. I will say that I don't think that everyone on C&P is in it to get more tags to rich people, but I do believe the rich people have them persuaded. The question asked if I opposed the current raffle / auction model, I don't know that I have ever considered it because it has always existed in my memory. After some thought my question is this, where does it stop? We could certainly raise more money for conservation if we auctioned every tag to the highest bidder but then our model would cease to exist. I do not believe that the integrity of the model is worth sacrificing for any mount of money. I believe there are other ways. Big guy 6'4". Assume he would have been wearing a hat and think he had his gf with him. Blonde haired girl. He showed up 20-30 minutes late and didnt know what had been asked so he didnt ask anything. I've asked the same thing about where does this stop? Has to be a goal and when its reached its gotta stop. Give them unlimited power they're never gonna stop. Like you said if were just in it for money then heck yeah auction them all off to the highest bidder but that's not the goal. I'm saying slap a $5 education stamp on the licenses and call it a day. Assuming they can prove that's what the money will be used for and not more new trucks. It is Not the New trucks for the Wildlife Managers and people who actually work, that are wasted money. It is the take home trucks by the people who dont accomplish anything except warm up a chair, twiddle thumbs in an office, and flap jaws, that waste money.

    G&F new TAG printings

    It is called the Freedom of Information Act. Guides, the rich ones pay for a list from G&F of all that get drawn probably before you do.

    Conserve and Protect AZ SURVEY/

    Yes, any org such as you state should stand naked in front of the whole country. LOL But, roaches don't like the light shown on them.
  17. Wouldn't it be fun to see an itemized account of G&F expenditures for a year.

    G&F new TAG printings

    I would hope that the guides are paying for the all the advertising. Also in the regulations book which is so cluttered it is hard to find the Regs.

    Conserve and Protect AZ SURVEY/

    The state should kick in a dedicated amount to the G&F for the work that they have to do for those other groups that are getting a free ride now. For example the endangered species section should be funded entirely by taxpayers.

    No cams on water by G&F.....coming soon.

    I don't read as much about "getting around the rules" as much as I am hearing people trying to make this rule something that it isn't. It is not a ban on trail cams. It's not even a ban on using cams for hunting.It is a ban on two very specific things. First, there is now a ban on cameras that relay any real time data. meaning "live". The other is a ban on using cams within 1/4 mile of developed water source for the use of taking game. What it sounds like to me, there are people who don't like the use of trail cams, that want to act stupid and interpret this rule to falsely give permission to mess with somebody else's property. Using, that twisted logic, I should carry a pound of sugar with me to put in gas tanks of ATV's that I find in a place they are not allowed. This post explains very well and then the next posters sound like they did not even read the posts before their post. It appears that there are a lot of thick heads.

    Conserve and Protect AZ SURVEY/

    Well who is a regular citizen? That is how an anti gets in. My opinion on that one is to only have Board members from existing orgs. and that includes fishing orgs also.
  22. There is no way that the Dept has a monetary surplus. If they did why do they pay their most important employees WILDLIFE MANAGERS so poorly? If you heard that there is a monetary surplus then it was by a stuffed shirt in carefree wanting a undeserved raise or buying some bigger chair for them to sit around in.

    Federal TSS

    That is more like it. Those 60 and 70 yd shots were misses. You killed the bird with one gold flyer to the brain.
