Nice pictures and I bet it was a nice change seeing real fall colors. I was in Spokane and ID last week and saw some pretty vivid colors myself. Sure is different from AZ. Thanks for sharing the pics and commentary with us!

Shrillary, Edwards Obama all got 7's.... Here's my surprises.. Tom Tancredo 57 Thompson 50 MCLame 50 Hunter 50 I like Thompson but not sure he has the energy himself to make the long haul to election. Seems to peter out on speeches and has taken a very light campaign trail up to now. We'll have to see if the spark begins to burn brighter stronger and hotter in the next few months. Mclame and Duncan hunter surprised me. I would not vote for Mclame if he was the only republican candidate out there. I'd vote for a libertarian or independent first. That guy has lost all respect I ever gave him as he caters to illegals.

WHAT??????? I won't get my 5.2 million? Well then it's on to the backup plan.... Got my Publishers Clearing House envelope a while back and it said I was already a winner!

Woke up to our dog barking on the foot of the bed. Could not figure out what he was doing. Loooking out the window and barking.... at snow coming down! We have only had him for a few months so I guess he had not seen it snow before! Guess he knew his potty breaks would not be the same for 4-5 months... The white blanket Sure is purdy though!

I am waiting for my commission check and when it gets here I will get back all of the money that was pulled out of my account when the first funds transfer turned out to be phoney. The company CEO who contacted me said it was a dishonest employee who took advantage of us both and he would make restitution to me as soon as he could. He said if I was patient while he made restitution and I would do another deal with him, I could be his new company treasurer also. I'll get a title, a new car, plane travel to and from his country for meetings and a salary of $5.2M annually! I can't wait! It has only cost me my good credit rating and I can clean that up when I get rich from my new career! I'll just ask my creditors to wait a while cause when I get that commission check and new job, I will be rich and a company treasurer too!

Glad to see you have had some time to look around! Good luck getting settled and don't enjoy it too much.... you'll have plenty of time to do it in the future!

Here's a couple to add Saw a doe chasing a coyote about 25 yrs ago in 4b. She chased this yote down the hill across the canyon from me. Well after about 5 minutes and a very slow day, I decided to take out the yote. Fired 1 shot and dropped him. The doe stopped, looked around and then went over and nudged him a few times. She stood there looking around and looking at him, then after about 5 minutes more and I got up to start across the canyon she saw me and headed up the hill again. Another thing was in 24b near an old mine. We were hunting uphill from a trailer and about dark we were starting down the hill toward the tuck. Some guy comes out of the trailer and starts yelling and dancing around with his pants down around his ankles. He kept it up... Errrr, rather he "kept at it"... for a few minutes then went back in the trailer . A bit later we hear the same sounds and get to a spot we can see, and here is the old guy doing his dropped drawers dance again. We nicknamed him Crazy Larry, and I'll say it sure was hard to hike that hill in the future while keeping quiet. All the laughing and snickering....

One way for granola nutjobs in the land of fruits and nuts to stop legal hunting. If there are no lead bullets available, what else can we use. I will have to start using the rounds made from Depleted Uranium like the A-10 Warthog uses.

Happy Birthday from the middle of the country... sort of. I left AZ a year ago and still feel connected to the best part of the state. CWT....

Nice Buck for sure. I would say to give your boy the first crack at him. Make sure you vaccinate him for buck fever before you head out. Seeing him at night is one thing but finding him in the day is another. The lessons you teach your son would be many, and if he never takes this deer, you will teach him why it is called "hunting" and not called "killing". You could take a nice one either way if he misses.

With all these early seasons creating more "opportunity" so says the AGFD... It definitley makes it a lot harder to keep meat decent for eating. Maybe it will create more opportunity this year but wait until a few guys take them deer home and find the maggots taste better than the meat they broiled in the sun for a couple days. Then they won't want to hunt again cause it don't taste good. There is a good way to lower hunter retention!

Chuckling, I Just saw a report that the # of illegals in the US is more like 20-38 Million, not the 12 million from Gov't estimates. We needed this solution before they all came.

I bet it was the Mogollon Monster. Y'know, the AZ answer to Bigfoot!

I think many of us like to hunt with friends who also enjoy the sport. Having more eyes in the field also means having more feet, smells and noises there also. ore people means The more opportunity there is to spot the game but there is also more opportunity to BE SPOTTED by the game. It can be a double edged sword, so I would say let people hunt how they choose. Having an outfitter guide you is not the same as using stearoids to hit more homers. No Asterick needed on most hunting records unless they are on fenced killing fields like some Buffalo "hunts".

I saw that on Wednesday I think and stopped most workers in the department as they saw it too. Everyone thought the Veteran deserved another medal. It's pretty obvious that mexican heritage and culture is a big thing to the legal and illegal hispanics. But living in this country, there should be more respect for it, otherwise why not go back to mexico.

Sad news to hear. I met Bob a couple times over the years. 25+ ago when he was helping as a local personality for a Yellow Front store grand opening, and again in 2001 when he published my mountain lion encounter story in the AZ Repugnant outdoor section and even on the lake one time as he rode along with AGFD patrol as I recall. Also saw him at various other outdoor venues over the years. He definitely seemed to enjoy being the unofficial expert on AZ outdoors as he spoke with people. Rest in Peace Bob, and thanks for the memories sir.

What a bull! Super results from you guys this year! Hope you have another hunter you can take after the 390 that he let pass!

You will be rolling on the floor after watching this commercial. Saw it today and loved it! Safer At Home on the Couch Enjoy!

I thought it might be a goodun to add to the "weirdest thing..." Topic. Not sure who it is, but I'd say they are pro's with all that stealth gear they are packin.

awesome buck!! but Are you sure he is your pop? He got it with one shot so I had to ask!

Sounds like you picked a winner area. Did you take any pictures of him. I'd say your friend is owing you a big one!

Dang Doug... I think you forgot a toilet and sink. I assume these are the main items as a reminder, and that you don't carry them all... Right? Personally, TP Binos, tripod, Snacks - Jerky, peanuts, trailmix granola bars pr similar for a day long trip Hard Candy - Jolly Rancher or.... Water, maybe a can of coke Knife Gloves Rope small LED flashlight Bandaids Tag , License Gun and ammo FRS if legal That is my basic pack depending on the game and weather.

Well some of those #s seem a bit high but even if they are only half of what was posted, It still is one major sucking sound coming from the turd world neighbor to the south. You're right, they have no respect for their own land why should they change here when the first thing the sphinctors do is break our law to come here. I'm tired of it, just deport them all. We need illegals like we need more taxes. They are a Drain on our economy any way you slice it! Nuff said! Our politicians need to do something about it. The House and senate have an 11% approval rating and a lot of the DIS approval is cause of thier in-action on Criminal Aliens. -

Congrats on the new addition to your family. I think you have the right idea starting out with camo bedding and hunting scenery in the crib!

Before recycling them, put a GPS sender in each so the BP can find them easier
