While Dr Partridge was here I hit him with my own rabies climate theory. Bats carry the disease and like birds, will migrate in cooler temps and we haven't seen those cold nights down here. Side effects of the advancing stages of the disease often causes paralysis of jaw and throat muscles making it impossible to drink, thus the animals stay near water sources. Of course I could be wrong about all that. Can a rabid animal infect a water source with its saliva, in turn, infecting other animals? I'll ask my vet how large of an area of water can be affected. Years ago a neighbors horse was tested for rabies. The other animals in contact with the horse and drinking from her water tank were quarantined until the results came back. Results came back negative but too bad for the horse.

We need a list of talking points. Everything from the failures of similar bans implemented in CA and British Columbia, to the harm the ban if approved would do to other species populations on the cats menu and public safety issues.

Probably yes.This is the Central American bat strain. Most people and animals will contract it thru bat bites. My vet researched the strain before inoculating my livestock. I believe skunks and grey fox are high on the list for spreading it. And yes, deer can get it too. If you're considering giving the boosters, reconsider. You can buy them online for your animals but you may not be getting the correct strain and you're not certain how the vaccine was stored or handled. The boosters have a very short shelf life and quickly denatures in the incorrect storage temps.

PreHunt who determines whether the animal you're pimping is a trophy? Are game wardens going to search your phone for this app? What folly.

I sent an email to Rep Weninger's office yesterday asking if a state representative would be writing a counter ballot to the anti hunting initiative as provided by the AZ Constitution, art 21. Instead of a response from the Rep, I received the same response as above. What really chaps my hide is I didn't even address the governors office.

Name?

encryption?The mystery only deepens...

Is the boat in a top secret location?

Ques free bump...

Going to have to agree with the gut hook. Has anyone found a simple way to sharpen the hook? nope. LolBut I’ve found that mine is used for only a few cuts per animal and seems to keep for a while longer that a normal edge. Tim, I tend to use mine often for cutting cordage and leather strings. I found a chainsaw blade sharpener out in the shop that just put a nice edge on the hook. I think I picked it up at Home Depot ages ago.

As I tinker away in my shop making knives for friends and family for Christmas.. I realized I've neglected making one for myself. If you could only carry one knife into the field, what would it be?

Interesting, when I was about 12, dad and I was looking around in the Cash box Pawn in Tucson. My birthday was coming up and I told my dad I had to have that biggest baddest Kbar in the display case. It was a Bowie style with stacked leather handle.

Have you called the pest control people advertising online? Anyone catching them alive tends to sell them ASAP rather than feed them. If they don't have any ask them to call you when they do.

I should get this for MulePackHunter, he could use it for hauling his blankets and pillows to camp, maybe even gather firewood. Can't imagine what else he'd use it for...

It is combo or Key, no E-lock

Selling for a relative... The safe is a Cabelas Liberty Woodsman 23cft. They are $1029.00 and the motion detector is a $200 upgrade. She's asking $600 and I'll help move it from her home.

You're selling things left and right in these classifieds. You need this safe to store your gold bars

No but I am hopeful an opposing initiative could be crafted with such language that we can get more voters on board than just us hunters. Maybe a more scientific approach or common sense? But you're right, we need to get out the vote. Miracles happen, I mean after all, wasn't Hillary supposed to be president?

Reading your story left me speechless and teary. I never know what to say other than it seems to me you're doing everything a father can do. keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Actually our state legislators can initiate ballot measures and approve an amendment to the State Constitution to be voted on by a simple majority of AZ citizens as well. Ie; Making AZ wildlife management a science backed endeavor or managing AZs predators as a matter of public safety. I'd rather see opposing amendments being voted on by an educated constituency than have a single initiative on the ballot groomed for ignorant liberals. So get out and educate and show up at the polls or mail the ballots in. AZ Constitution, article 21
