Snapshot

I am self taught. Or I should say, My Dad and I taught each other. When my parents moved us to Tucson in 1973, my Dad and I didn't know anything about hunting in Arizona. My Dad made friends with a guy, and he took us out to Willow springs area to hunt quail, along with the shiny new Winchester single shot 20 guage that my Dad saved up to buy me. 2 years later when I was 14, my Dad bought me a new Remington 788 in .308. He could not afford a rifle for himslef so he had to borrow one that year to hunt deer. The next year he bought a duplicate of my rifle for himself. We didn't scout in those days, but just figured things out as we went.

AS to myself, I don't live in a glass house, and I don't criticize without good reason. This economy has damaged my life more than anyone will ever know. Police and Fireman are not part of the big picture as far as city workers are concerned. They have a set job that they do, and cannot get away with the "I don't care" attitude I have seen with so many other city/state workers with mundane jobs. There are exceptions to the rule of course. How many of us have had to go to city/state offices or call on the telephone to only be greeted by the attitude that they are doing a favor by even talking to us? Those are the type of people I am talking about. Not the Cops or Fireman, or even the few others that work hard. Paying police and fireman minimum wage is an insult beyond belief. If that town has had budget problems for years, then someone should have figured it out by now, instead of waiting until the money runs out. Even with the people that work hard, often times it is mismanagement of funds by the upper echelon that creates big problems for those lower on the totem pole. Personally, I have a midwestern Protestant work ethic. I despise laziness in employee's, whomever they work for. SOme of us would love to regain a quality job, with benefits, that so many others take for granted. But thats not the moral too this story, the people that will suffer from a bankrupt city will experience hardship.

I wondered why the Banteng hunts were so expensive, compared to the reasonable price for Water Buff.

The Feds didn't give a dang about Brian Terry unitl Eric Holder got into hot water over fast and furious. It's all political whitewash. A good man lost his life because of actions by our sleazy government. That million dollars is nothing but blood money.

I am surprised they didn't take your trailcam

Doesn't surprise me. I have seen alot of B.S here in Tucson. You drive by a City of Tucson project and you see five City of Tucson guy's watching one guy work. Or all the money they waste on the Rio Nuevo project, or the stupid electric street car deal, downtown. The fat needs to be trimmed at the city, state ,and federal level. All these jobs and projects get milked by lazy people, then they wonder why they run out of money. Thats what happens when you get a Democrat in charge. Scranton is going to be in a world of hurt when everyone quits their job. Oh wait......... Obama will bail out the city, just like he did with all the big Corps that milked the gravy train, while all the little people suffer and pay for it.

Just another revenue enhancement scam

That is crazy. A big ole boar had a feast on your kill. That's a bummer. But at least you retrieved what was left. As far as crawling down a mine shaft.............not me!

Get them to send you a message using their email address. If you can obtain the "IP" , there are ways to find where they are located. You can also turn that info over to the FBI fraud division.

I thought if it was street legal and registered as such you didn't need an OHV tag? OHV was just for those not registered. Nope. The OHV sticker is for any atv type vehicle or motorcycle that will be offroad on Federal, state, or BLM land, regardless if it is registered as street legal You can drive your street legal OHV on state county roads without an OHV sticker, but the minute you go off of maintained roads you fall under the OHV tag law. What is considered an off-highway vehicle for the purpose of obtaining the OHV Decal? An off-highway vehicle is any motor vehicle operated on unimproved roads, trails and approved use areas not suitable for conventional two-wheel-drive vehicular travel. Examples include: ATVs, ROVs, trail motorcycles and dirt bikes.

Very nice. I would think that a quality Coues tag would go for more, considering what the mule deer tags auction for. But it's great that the money is used for the wildlife! SCI does alot of great things worldwide.

Nice. The bear almost looks like it's sniffin your camera.

Nice. I bet that buck grows into something big.

I liked reading the stories of Jim Corbett, especially the "Maneaters of Kumaon". If you like stories of maneating Tigers and Leopards, you can download for free from this link. It is based on British Imperial India in the early 1900's. http://archive.org/details/maneatersofkumao029903mbp

Awesome tag. I have not been up there yet to see the fire damage, have only seen photos. I do most of my hunting below the rim in 27. Even thought the majority of bull's migrate off the top by mid November, there are resident bulls down in the canyon country year round, as wells as groups of cow elk. Tough to hunt down there, but there is always a chance of a really big bull.

Actually he posted on here not too long ago, but he is another "facebooker". He posts there all the time. I actually just saw him up in Payson the other day....saw a truck with RimView RV sticker on it and then saw the CouesWhitetail.com sticker and realized it must be him. Good to know he is o.k. I must have missed his post.

"Gamehauler" .....not sure where he is at, have not seen him here in a long time?

Keep your eyes off the hotties.....your'e a married man!

Awesome. Those buffalo have some unique horns, How do the water buffalo compare to Cape Buffalo as far as "toughness"? Did you see any Banteng, or is that the scrub bull?

True. But results won't be available for about 3 weeks. More or less.

Scott Adams ......and I am just adding to your list.

A state department not using money for which it was intended? Imagine that! They were suppose to hire more OHV patrol personnel also. They fell short on that deal. I am glad the money for the expensive OHV sticker I am forced to buy is being spent on something else.

A face to face, cash transaction, should not be a problem as long as the seller has clear title. Just ask for an I.D to match against the title when they sign the back of it. You can also check VIN numbers.
