So how many of you are trying to google it

It's blistering hot this week. A construction worker died in Tucson yesterday from heat exhaustion. C'mon rains!

I see alot of people here that are very passionate about wildlife, habitat, and the sport of hunting. That is a great thing. I have also seen how fired up sportsmen get, when someone tries to take away our public resources. Land, tags, access,etc. The biggest enemy we face is politicians and lobbyists. Our opposition is determined and well funded. Many times we lose because of liberal minded Judges. The greatest threat to our sport and anything else we hold dear, currently resides in the whitehouse. If sportsman become as passionate about defending our freedoms and rights fom politically abused policies, as they are about building trick tanks and drinkers, we could cut the head off the the politcal snake. (Figuratively speaking) Look at what some of the great guys here did against HB 2072. If we want to preserve our sport, and wildlife, we have to fight the political fight. We need to keep the liberal left wingers out of positions of power. I have already started to do my part. I will be doing some volunteer work for the Romney campaign, as well as some other things to make my voice heard. It may not be much, but if millions of other join the fight, a difference can be made. Politics are an evil that we have to deal with. I don' t like Politics either. But I am disgusted with the direction this once great nation is headed. Obama and his lapdogs need to go, Proud supporter of the Republican party/GOP.

I find it extremely ironic that these people don't seem to realize that hunters are taxpayers also. Ban the hunters, and let the hikers have free reign.? I could understand it if it was a real safety concern.

I need to check around for new type boots also. I used Rocky for years but the last pair was a disappointment. Started falling apart after 2 years.

Great pics TJ, and happy fathers day.Great times, great memories! Even though my father passed on from this life 6 years ago, I miss him dearly, and I would give anything for one more hunt together. I hope I am fortunate enough to be hunting when I am 80! Let the good times roll!

Thats really great to hear that these abusers will be brought to justice. It will send a strong message.

Going to be a sweltering inferno in Tucson this coming week. Swell. I got someone begging me to come up to Montana to work for the summer....Hmmmmmm.....average temp in West Yellowstone next week.....65 degrees. Gotta love it!

Super duper! Nice color on the bear.

Very true! Sad as well, as you can tell where our society is headed these days . Yes indeed. That's why in November we need to get Obama out of office. Future generations will suffer if we don't.

I bet I have tried over 20 times. I have made it as far as putting in my billing info at least 5 times. Hopefully it is not charging your credit card all those times

TJ, I think a CWT.com support group maybe in order. CWT anonymous?

Ouch! Women have a way of putting us in the "Doghouse" for stuff like that. Best advice I could give........ would be some serious sucking up. FLowers. A nice dinner at a good place. A little groveling may be involved. My ex sucked the soul right out of me, so I have no soul left to pray for. But I will certainly pray for yours, my friend! Good luck and happy belated anniversary!

Nice pics. Thats what I call a "catch and release" bear. Give it a couple more years to fatten up.

Happy Birthday!

Awesome!

Ditto. When I had my Dodge cummins diesel, it did not like the BFG's.

Doctors are kind of strange that way. I once contracted Giardia on an elk hunt in Colorado. I went to see my doctor when I got back, and told her I had Giardia. She told me I didn't know what I was talking about. After another week of suffering, and waiting for test results. They called me and told me I had Giardia. Really! I found a new doctor after that. When I got nailed by a brown recluse, that doctor figured it out right away. Go figure!

Garmin GPS 40 ........asking $60.00 (Tucson) I purchased this unit around 1995. Used very little, and is excellent condition. It does not aquire sattelite fix as quick as the newer units, but is still a functional unit. I don't know what I did with the manual. Maybe it could be downloaded off the Internet? Uses 4 AA Batteries.

Back in the mid 1990's, I was sitting on a ridge looking into a deep canyon that came off the rim, in unit 27. I moved around some trees to get a better view of the upper canyon, but left my rifle and pack up against a tree on the other side 20 yards away. I caught movement out of the corner of my eye, and saw a big mulie buck moving in the bottom of the canyon. Of course my gun was 20 yards away. He must have saw me move, and took off into some thick stuff. I never did get a good bead on him, or ever see him again.

I have never been there, but I heard the ticks are really bad in some areas.

Excellent. Really nice Kudu!

Silver is a very liquid commodity. You can buy physical silver to keep in your safe, or you can buy it on paper in the commodities market. Paper silver is worth less than actualy having bullion in your hand

Me too! I remember when mechanical blades first hit the market. I bought, and tried some. I didn't like the little rubber bands, and the blades, when open, had the wingspan of a B-52 bomber.I am a firm believer in Murphy's law.

True. The sawed off antlers is questionable. But that many bones in one spot may not indicate a poacher I guess? Road kill sounds reasonable. I have an uncle that used to live in northern Minnesota. He was a poacher, he did it for fun I guess? He would drive the remote farmfields at night with a spotlight. After shooting what he wanted, he would quick load the carcass, and head back to his farm, and hang the deer in the barn. After he was done carving off the meat, he would then dump the carcass at a remote spot in the woods. Game and Fish were on to him, and he finally gave it up. I witnessed this when I was a kid visiting them one summer. Shame on him!
