    Yes on eye protection

    Have had several close calls for your reading enjoyment: 1.As a kid experimenting with pool chlorine and carbonation. 2. Was being transported os with some aircraft equipment in the 130's fuselage when a hydraulic line pressurized, leaked and shot a nice stream of burning fluid straight into my eyes. 3. A year later was showing a troop the manual start on a generator. Had a loose battery clamp. As he was tightening it, managed to ground the positive terminal. Kaboom. Nowadays I put safety glasses on first thing in the morning.

    Wild Mustangs

    Illegal in the US. We could sell it to the French tho. Don't Forget the Japanese .... Some may recall a racehorse named Ferdinand, winner 1986 KY Derby and Preakness, 1987 Breeders Cup... Went to stand stud in Japan. I think he started shooting blanks, they ate him.

    Wild Mustangs

    Slimey politicians have managed to close all but two horse slaughter houses in the U.S. It was simple, they simply defunded meat inspectors at their locations. And they did so with out any input from people in the industry or public debate. No farmers raised horses for the purpose of slaughter. But the slaughter houses provided a means of relief in horse over population that now no longer exists. Closing the meat plants devastated the horse industry. All horses had a base market value by the pound regardless of whether the equine was healthy and trained or was a broken down dink with 3 hooves in the grave and the fourth on a banana peel. But no more thanks to bleeding heart liberals. But what really chaps my hide is how the two remaining slaughter houses can only accept horses from government agencies, like the BLM, NFS or a reputable horse rescue with 501c status. So what is to be done with the hundreds of thousands of unwanted horses? People lose there horse properties and can't find homes for the horses and they end up dumping them where they think they have a shot at surviving. That's how we have arrived at having all these "wild horse herds", unwanted animals that once went to slaughter now have nowhere to go. I've been involved in wild horse adoption, and again it's the government that decides whether an animal is worthy of adoption and few make the cut. So if you are a horse owner and can no longer care for your animal and it is unmarketable, the choices are few. You can legally put them down, even the landfill will take the carcass, or donate a terminal animal to a zoo. Rescues are full, dumping them is a felony. Oh and if you try and catch a wild horse in AZ, technically you are rustling. All around its a bad, bad situation.

    Game and Fish Catchments

    Whoa partner, an AZGFD biologist went to check on a new catchment in the Eagletails some years back. He found it was not only dry for the first time in months, but desert bighorn and mule deer were found dead or dying all around the catchment. This discovery prompted a study on the affects on animals behaviour when a good water source dries up. All the while, there was another water catchment just 5 or 6 miles away with a full reservoir tank. These creatures waited for water to reappear at the tank they were accustomed to, rather than seek another source. Google the study, its easy to find with catch words: Eagletails water catchment bighorn AZGFD. Now that catchment directly under Courthouse Rock, has about a 5000 gallon water trailer keeping the water hole full.

    Game and Fish Catchments

    I certainly haven't been all over the unit but have only come across one AZGFD catchment holding water in 9. The rest are those dirt Tanks that require a lot of rain or run off to fill. Like rthrbhntng said, those Tanks are on the habimap and in droughts, the fs trucks in water to them, I've been told. Love that habimap though, I've visited most of the azgfd catchments from Phoenix to Quartzite, Gila Bend to Aguilla.

    Phone Skope / Life Proof Case??

    Made my own from a piece of 1" PVC and an Otter Box. The pvc is about 3/8" and I got a good flush cut using a pipe cutter. I then ground the pvc wafer for a good glueing surface. Then drilled a 1/2" hole in the Otter Box where the camera lens is. Takes great pics.
