So where are you going fishing tomorrow? Got a couple lakes lined up Brian

Latest update at 2:45 was that the fire lines are holding and winds are not as big of problem as expected. Brian

I believe it is the Bootleg Lake Rd that is just below forestdale. Its about nine miles from Show Low

All I know is, if I get evacuated, there's going to be a lot of fish that are going to be in trouble for a few days. Brian

I understand it was windy, but holy smokes at how fast it blew it up. Is that because they back burn so much? I'm not sure crews were even on it yet. Right at cedar canyon bridge there was a WMAT G&F and that was the only official vehicle we saw all the way up to Show Low. It is just so thick and dry that it had a straight easy run up the steep ridge. By the time we got to Lakeside you could see it was a rolling from the smoke. Brian

I believe it was started from the meteor. Brian

It would have had to be lightening from Thor Brian

12aw late, 24a late wt. Brian

On my way home from scouting at 1130 am saw the first little chimney of smoke from it. 10min later drive right by it and the flames were already headed up to the top of the ridge. It was running fast. Brian

Right Across the highway.

I've had several like that, it was always bears that did it. Brian

It's the hat! Amen, all day every day! Brian

This makes me happy... Brian

Lol. Much much worse. Went to the dark side. Brian

All of mine went without a hitch also. This is th first year in 20 years that my first choice wasnt a coues tag. Brian

Just sprinkles here in Pinetop/Lakeside area. Brian

I've called a mess of bobcats in. I won't stay on stand longer than thirty minutes. Had them come in as fast as 20 sec and as long as 18min. Majority in the 8 min range. Called in one lion, only had a shotgun when gun wasn't legal for lion. He came in at 15 min mark. I've never called for lion so I can't help any there. This just what I do and works for me. Brian

I saw Ohio on a map once Brian

Yep, when I saw it, I didn't know which one of us it would be. Brian

Yay, winner winner chicken dinner!!!! Thanks Doug and Cameraland for putting on the contest monthly. Great guys to deal with when purchasing optics also. Buy all of mine through them. Thanks again, camera will be out to good use. Brian

I just got done doing three apps 10 minutes ago, fast and easy. No issues. Brian

23 bps....41 years old Brian

Unfortunately if you're 39 with only 7 points you'll more than likely never draw. Definitely won't reach max points so you'll have to get lucky in the random draw. And even more sad is your son starting at 11 years old will never reach max either. So just cross your fingers every year and hope you get lucky! Unless something changes even guys with 23-24 points right now will never have max. My 23 points and I will never see max. Just have to realize that a handful or so of units are completely out of the question. Still amazes me how many people waste ink writing in units that have zero shot of drawing. Guess that's good for me as it eliminates them automatically. Brian
