So who is keeping eye on this grand canyon watershed monument deal??? Our local representatives are speaking out against it which is good. This could really affect hunting north and south of the big ditch? Some 1.7 million acres along the Colorado river is what is up in the air and the president has the authority to pen this one in as many other presidents have done in the past in other areas of the country. (Quotes from news story) Arizona has the most national monuments in the U.S. with 18. “The real intentions of these shortsighted, self-interest groups are clear: They want this designation to prevent energy development, timber harvesting, grazing, mining and different types of recreation on this massive swath of land,” Gosar said in a statement last week on the proposed Grand Canyon watershed protection. Gosar and Rep. Trent Franks, R-Glendale, were two of 25 representatives who wrote Obama last week asking him not to designate the watershed a national monument. “Arizona is blessed with some of the most beautiful and unique landscapes on Earth,” the letter said. “For generations, Arizonans have enjoyed responsible, multiple-use recreation on these public lands, and have been active participants in conserving this amazing public resource.”

Anyone know the FR number that would be locked to block this ranch off???? I just want to look at the area on maps and find a clever way to access the State land that would be blocked????

I just looked at the parcel map of this area, what a mess. Checker boarded all to heck. I am not sure how we can have ownership of property like this? Doesn't make sense other than to block access and that's exactly what is being done deliberately and for the least amount of money possible. No private property should ever be able to block reasonable access to surrounding public land period. We should have a right of way I.e. public road no parking, stopping, etc and let the ranch lock the rest up.

Just so you know "Edge" I wont have proper paragraghs. "Or Spelling" So what happens on Wed night when you are the last one or two awake after dinner and a few cocktails and sitting by the fire at the house. (outside by the way) Well in my case you either end up on the back of one very unhappy equine off in the desert singing old Chris Ladoux songs (NO not cadillac ranch,,, waaaaay older) OR you decide to sharpen your primitive fire starting skills. (for me this is a lack there of said fire starting skills) A few days ago after recovering from a long string of bad days, we had us a good one that got down to about 1 AM. With the fire headed south and me and the wife discussing a really funny youtube video on bushcrafting we had just become tooo familiar with, the night turned from romantic to,,,weeeell to me and my healer fighting off coyotes in the brush. (insert paragraph but not sure if this is where it goes) So there I was off in the desert with my trusty healer and my flint steel fire pouch. I set it all up carfully and began striking. Just so you understand, I suck at fire. Im more of an aviation fuel backed up by dryer lint, 2 bushells of steel wool, 2 torn apart 45/70 shells, 1/2 cord of wood dry aged in the Sahara desert, and a pressed log from home depot kind of fire starting dude, I strike this dang thing more times than Nolan Ryan punched oncoming batters from the batters box. Just as I am about to head back to the house to let the wife know she was wrong about my really bad idea for the nightcap I hear my healer let out a groan and a slight snort, Now when I hear this in the house I usually grab my pistol and see what he is looking at (squirel) "can you believe I cant spell squirel" But this time I was medicated so I tell him knock it off and take a few more passes at the rock and steel. 3 or 4 more trys maybe before the next groan and snort, Now I look over and see Jake is in full combat stance and glaring in one specific direction, Yep 2 coyotes sitting as pretty as pie maybe 20 yards off just trying to figure what this clinking sound is and if they can eat it. The next few moments were a blurr of curse words my computer cannot spell check. 10 minutes later I was walking back to the house with healer under one arm, a patch of healer fur in one hand, No flint or steel, picking cactus spines from my shin, and coyote furr from Jakes mouth. True story,,,,Use caution at my place when the firewood and laptop come out. LOL

Very cool congrats to her.

I've never spent a day in 9 or 10 but I do know there are other minter az land owners talking with game and fish, that worries me a bunch. Also more talk about handing forest lands over to states, and talk of selling to private to pay debts off, all bad bad deals for us, I feel bad for the guys who worked hard up in 10 and might not be hunting it now,
-
My guess is the draw odds will go up on those HD hunts, most joes are not going to drop 643.00 for an az elk hunt as a resident. I bet a lot hit another unit instead

If you do 5bs, 5a, or 27 I could hook you up , those are my picks.

Here are 2 picks Mom found of my grandfather in deer camp New Mexico. We dont know the year but I bet someone may know close based on the vehicle. Looks like a sweet camp and lever guns were on hand.

Not to worry boys there are plenty of cattle up there, they will soon target only cattle since they are easy meals. I have seen kill sights myself but never elk or deer just cattle

Any clothing company's making camo in the us anymore? I thought first lite was but just saw a tag on one from China? Looking for base layer top and some new pants
-
I missed the rubber boots fireman joke, anyone care to explain? Sounds interesting
-
Ya I am leaning to first lite, the kuiu owner just rubs me the wrong way. Oh well maybe I'll buy filson solid colors.

I saw that video with cam hanes shooting to 140, he had to sight off of the top of his sight bubble level. If you slid most sights down to 140 your arrow will hit it. Cam was also shooting 90 lbs draw.

Without a trust you assets go to the probate courts and many others take little chunks and fees even with a will. A trust keeps assets in trust and the will distributes them out of court. We are setting up a trust and a will. My mom has the same deal. My in-laws are working to do the same asap. My neighbor down the street died a year ago and his kids still can't touch his house belongings in the house or cars and its all just sitting there. No will or trust in his case.
