Snapshot

I have never tried the gutless method, but I would like to learn. I have always carried a cheap 6'x6' tarp in my backpack to put on the ground.

After holding that gun at the party, I can tell it should be one sweet shooting rifle!

Thats incredible!

Thats the best article on the situationI have read yet!

Check out the story on Kirt Darner on the NMGF website. I used to idolize Darner back in the mid -1980's during his hey day, it stinks to find out your hunting hero is a schister.

Even though I have not seen many lions, I have good premonition. When the hair on the back of my neck starts to tingle, I start looking around carefully. The one encounter I had with a lion happened that way

Snakes and getting hurt for sure.

I moved to Tucson with my parents in 1973. My dad and I started hunting quail and mule deer in unit 37B, then we started hunting unit 30B, which back then was a fantastic unit for mule deer. In 1979 we started hunting unit 27 which back in those days had 5000-6000 permits between the different hunts and there were tags to spare. Unit 27 has been my first and second choice every year since then even though it is much harder to get a tag. My Dad passed away 2 years ago and we scattered his ashes in unit 27 last year as it was his favorite place. Good times, good memories.

Yeah, this is what I call the silly season. I just read something on another site that somone spoke to a G&F rep that they ran into and he said the middle of this week. But we all know how that goes!

E-Scouting at its finest.

I got to meet Casey at the party yesterday and it was a great time with good people. Happy birthday buddy, hope you have a great one!

I don't hate the Game and Fish, just their draw computers

Word on the street is the middle of this week!

Those are great pics and animals. I bet your kids were stoked up on that hunt!

I have good success with 4# flourocarbon tied to a 1/4 oz. rainbow colored kastmaster. You can really fling it out into the deeper holes if you are on shore, or troll with a boat. Vary the retrieve and depth until you find fish. Flyfishing is my favorite late in the day.

Those are nice. I love seeing pictures of good bulls!

I am glad you had a good time. For the life of me I couldn't remember your code name " nedflanders" . I will be doing some more scouting down there, so if interested I will get in touch, and we can go for another cruise.

Thats way cool. An African safari is something I would love to do, someday.

It was our pleasure to do it. I look forward to seeing everyone again. My wife Angela got to hear everyone's stories and how passionate everyone is about hunting and the outdoors and she is more interested in doing some hiking and scouting with me.

The Tucson area CWT party is still on for Saturday July 12th. I think Amanda will be sending out reminders as well. The details of the party are listed below. If you are interested in coming, even if you might not make it, let me know, as I want to make sure that we have plenty for everyone. When: Saturday July 12th, around 4:30 p.m Where: Sahuarita, AZ You can P.M me and I will give you the address What: For those that are interested in the quad ride, we will leave right from my house out the back trail at around 1:00 p.m. It will probably be hot So I will have a cooler on my quad with cold drinks and water. Bring your Bino's if you like and I will show you some decent areas for bucks,and you can bring a rifle to bang off a few long range shots . We will return to the house around 4:00 p.m approx for the main party The BBQ will start around 5:00 p.m or when everyone is ready. Bring what ever kind of meat you would like to grill. I will have extra as well . All side dishes, snacks, chips dips, and condiments etc will be provided. If you are a grill master or have a special dish to share, please feel free to bring it, grill it or whatever you like. Please bring your own beer or wine. Soft drinks and water will be available. We will have horsehoes, music?, and just sittin around and B.S'ing. We can guess some rack scores (I have a couple) you can bring some as well. And there will be a raffle, so if you have some items to raffle to benefit CWT, bring them along. I will have outdoor lights and a campfire after dark (weather permitting). For those of you coming from a distance, I have 4 acres with room for an RV or tents if you want to stay the night, and room in the house to crash as well. Everyone is welcome to bring their significant other or friend, and if you can't find a babysitter you can bring the kids as well. I have a big screen t.v with DVD's and video games, and karoke, to keep em entertained. It is monsoon season so if we get hit by an afternoon storm we will move the party into the house and or my steel building (we can grill in there) If anyone has anything to add to the enterainment, feel free to mention it.

I like the way you think! I will have to give that a try, and I Will gladly take the second largest ram available.

I am training myself not to get so worked up over draw results, past years it has really driven me nuts. Why? I have no clue. Now come on G&F get that draw done pronto........................

The weather is a big concern. It is raining right now and we got dumped on big time yesterday. For all those that can't make it, I look forward to meeting you the next time around. I think next spring would be a good time to have another party, maybe up at one of the lakes, Roosevelt, Apache, or......?

I think somebody is bringing one, but we needed a couple more, so if you can you bring one just in case. Thanks!

All three of those flavors souns good. How bout cherry?
