Flatlander

Near the Sierra Anchas. Lightning in an old burn. Doesn’t seem catastrophic right now if they get on it.

Is it a coincidence that the NL 12’s two threads down sold 52 min ago?

Not looking good. Better turn that tag back in.

I want a picture of Wildwoody with Minnie Mouse

Well, how did it go?

Those deer are notoriously migratory. They drop in there from Utah and the Kaibab. When you are scouting you should just be finding ways to get around in that country. It’s pretty remote. Finding deer won’t do you much good until right before and during the hunt.

I know that we all want the HPA to pass, but I have to say that cramming a bunch of crap into big bloated bills that have nothing to do with the subject at hand is one of the biggest problems in Washington. And I hate it when the libs abuse it just because they can. The HPA didn’t have anything to do with budget reconciliation, so it will have to stand on its own two feet.

You are in Tucson or something right? Any chance you’d ship it or drop it in the valley sometime?

There are a bunch of things I like the government being responsible for: military, food and drug regulation, health care standards and governance, roads and highways etc. Things that serve the public interest and require wide scale standards and consistency that private industry wouldn’t necessarily serve because they are non-profit bearing. I put public lands in the same boat. Selling them off for a one-time payment would be far too tempting for private industry or even state governments that are required to balance budgets. The federal resources especially budget and treasury are important when it comes to to owning and managing public lands. Think of the liability of fighting wildfires. No state could afford to simply say we are going to put every resource necessary at this and write the check at the end. It would bankrupt any state or private entity. The fact that federal public lands are managed for multiple use, including profit generating activities like mining, grazing and forest extraction means that it benefits users of all types. Private ownership would never manage for multiple use by various components of society.

It’s true. And I love it. These Republican candidates can go on the record as pro public lands during their campaign or face the wrath of public land owners.

Gorgeous. Did you hunt 8 days?

Man there are coues all over that unit. From desert floor to pines. Nice thing is on the youth tag you should have a lot less competition. Just glass hard. If you’ve hunted the Mexico and Old Mexico it’s probably not any different. There is a lot of country that isn’t designated wilderness that is still plenty remote. Good luck and have fun. My personal favorite coues unit.

Yeah, that would suck. Like I said, I have been paranoid this was what happened the two times we got charges. NR deer needs to be $301. Also, when you are done licking your wounds, you'll probably get a good laugh out of this.

31/32 usually has a random tag doesn’t it?
