  1. Shut the whole dang forest down. Can’t fix stupid and guess what, people are stupid. The honest folks in the open areas won’t start fires or other activities that start fires but the ones that are could careless will, all demographics, you can count on it. Tinder was an illegal fire that some ahole started and then went home with out putting out. RESULT=multiple home owners cabins destroyed. Had that fire not been contained and dropped into Leonard Canyon,guess what would have occurred? Good bye Rim,good bye everything else. As for people getting charged for the damage, totally agree, but never happens, maybe a ban in National Forest for 10 years or so, but nothing that sticks because the people that do it couldn’t afford to write in a coloring book let alone pay the fines imposed. Maybe folks that are caught with illegal fires or leaving them and going home if caught should have all of their vehicles,home, if they have one and everything else taken and leave them on the street. I am sick of the traffic on some sites saying people are confused about fire restrictions or closures (not on this site sort far). People need to learn how to read and how to look at maps which are clearly posted now on all of the areas, County, state and federal of those restrictions. I am not the best educated guy in the state however I do know this, as of right now, THERE ARE NO FIRES ALLOWED ANYWHERE IN ARIZONA. What part of that does anyone not understand. Thank the lord my CW.com brothers and sisters get this because the idiots don’t. You all have a safe Memorial Day weekend and report any aholes who have fires going. Hopefully everyone with tags or possible tags for upcoming hunts will have a forest to hunt in.

  2. Closure specifics are coming for the areas affected. Right now both Navajo and Apache Counties have enacted stage III closures. Forest service lands will be handled separately and all of the one concerned which is almost all of them will be announcing soon. I suspect you might see established campgrounds with water on site remain open with stage II fire restrictions and unestablished areas be closed until we get the monsoons. I usually camp on Memorial Day weekend in the Greens Peak area however I suspect that area will have restrictions. Guess I will go wine tasting in Sonoita.

  3. I just received my elk tag and noticed the large envelope it came in and then thought, how much more money is the Game and Fish paying for postage. I figured it out when I opened the envelope and noticed all of the advertising for guides that was enclosed. I guess this is part of a State Lean Transformation project.


  4. Not sure what everyone's experiences are with these nice coolers but our hunting club bought two Cabelas brand ones that I think are just a good as Yeti, Pelican, etc. I got my 65 quart with someones employee discount out the door for 170.00. It is the best cooler I have ever owned and will last the rest of my life. The 100 Qt was about 100 more and the same deal except it is a two man lift. The markup on these coolers is unbelievable and shopping around is the way to go if they are in good shape. Happy Hunting.


  5. Question for Average Joe, I do appreciate your comments about closing dirt roads and totally agree in most cases however, so you support parking somewhere on 288 next to 203 and then walking in at mimimum of 5-6 miles just to get to a wilderness boundary and trail head? I am one of those guys that appreciates packing in but let's just say you want to go to the deeper trail heads on Cherry Creek Road, are you saying you support walking down Cherry Creek Road over ten miles to a trailhead and then going in from their. Also, if all dirt roads are closed, most wilderness trail heads you will have to home to first, and then start your venture. My point is the Fed Gov is taking our lands at alarming rates that we pay taxes on. I am a life lying resident of AZ and I can give you multiple examples. Look what the current administration is trying to do on the strip. I blame most of this on the a-holes who destroy the roads and leave trash behind and all of us pay the price.
