A lot of folks know how I feel about the Government, but I don't hate the G&F. I don't care much for how the Commission itself operates, and there will always be a few rotten tomatoes in the basket, but there are good folks just like us that work at the G&F. I am sure the G&F is just as disappointed as anyone, in the outcome of the Sheep transplant project. A lot of money and hard work goes into those projects. Could things have been done better? Anything we do can always be done better. There is no such thing as perfect. G&F shouldn't be sugar coating the Project at the public meeting. It's o.k to admit that something went wrong, and move on from there. I don't know much about Wildlife management, or transplanting wild game. However,If the Sheep transplant is a 3 year project, maybe G&F should have initially released a dozen sheep the first year, and manage that amount for the first year to see what the outcome might be? Adjustments could be made accordingly. I don't know how many Lions are in the Sheep's core habitat area, but one Lion killing a sheep a week, it's not hard to do the math.. Lions are highly territorial. If you eliminate one, there will always be another that will move in to an area that has easy meals available. Maybe an extensive predation study/control should have been done? I know there certainly are budget constraints in the mix that may limit the amount of time and money put into any given project. It is always our right, and duty, to be critical of how our public money is being spent.

At the rate the Sheep are getting gobbled up, there won't be any sheep to talk about by this summer.

A rotator cuff is a tough deal, especially with bows. Heal up and do what the Doc, and others have said. The last time I hurt myself was 1996, racing Motocross up in Eloy. It cost me a trip to the Casa Grande Hospital in an ambulance. Cracked tailbone, less than 3 weeks before my deer hunt. That was one of the first things I thought of when I crashed.......My hunt. Had to bring my rubber donut with me to sit on, in order to sit down and glass. I did shoot a buck, and packed him out of a rugged spot, but man it hurt like heck, and took alot of the fun out of it. Best wishes for your injury. Heal up, and go huntin.

Well.....well.....well......It's DB's birthday once again. What cruel and unusual birthday punishment can I inflict upon you this year.? How about a special edition Democrat Playboy issue. Nancy Pelosi is SMOKIN........ Just remember......... Have a great day!

I would never stop and start glassing in a spot that was occupied. If someone did it to me, I wouldn't mind so much as long as they weren't idiots. I might chit-chat with them, or wish them luck, and then I would move on. One of the reasons I hunt is for solitude. hard to come by, with so many hunters being jammed into the units these days. I rarely run into anybody in the backcountry where I hunt, so I don't worry about it too much. One time I was glassing off of a pullout on Highway 191 in unit 27, and a father and son hunters pulled over, and the kid ran over all excited "What do you see....What do you see"? Explained to them, I didn't have any deer in my binoculars, but I was looking for one a long way off.Gave them some tips on where to go, and wished them luck

I have never met the man. I only know him by reputation. Very sorry to hear of his passing. God Bless!

I will be 26 next month, but I really look twice that age. dang Botox isn't working.

I hear you. Monster energy is one of my bad habits....but hey.... there are worse things a guy could be doing. As far as clothing, what another person wears is no concern of mine, even if I do get a chuckle out of some attire. However, when I see someone with shifty eyes, baggy pants, and a hoody, pulled up on the head, my brain always goes to DEFCON 2, and my hand always seems to drift closer to my M&P.

That is one cool looking cat.

I don't use trail cams, but I always wonder what cool animal photos I might get if I did.

You might be a D-bag, if you whine about what other people post

1-800- Bloodsucking-Lawyers I used Goldberg & Osbourne, but that was back in 1998. They got more out of it than I did.

Careful. There are women present.

I was fishing the Madison river inside Yellowstone park a few years ago. A coyote was running along the bank of the river. You should have seen all the people pulling over and running out of their cars with cameras, thinking it was a wolf. It was pretty comical.

It always does.....without fail.

What do you mean I didn't get drawn for the unit 9 early rifle bull tag?

You need to add something for all the bitching and complaining that will occur for those that didn't get a tag

Gives a whole new meaning to "white-tail" hunting

Some guys use a hunting trip to get away from the wives and kids ......I get that. but if your family is interested in going, take em along. At least once in awhile. You never know how long we will be around to do it.

I think it's great if girls want to take up hunting, and be a part of the camp experience. It's a great time, and experience ,for everyone, regardless of gender. I always invited my wife(ex) to go hunting or, just come to deer camp. It wasn't her thing. so I didn't press the issue. A person is into it, or not. One of my favorite vacations was the summer outing in Greer. Taking the girls fishing is rewarding, even if they have the attention span of a 2 year old.

Yes, Bears do poop in the woods. I've stepped in it a time or two.

My carry gun is a S&W M&P .40. I like it.

I run the same tire. They were the best,and most affordable, in my price range. No issues with them yet.
