God! I love this site ... You say something Defending G&F and you must work for them ... You comment on The current state of our nations prison systems and you must work for one .... Jim,not hard to do research and get valid information to see the good and THE BAD of privatized prisons ... They want to capitalize on near slave labor and provide better security keeping the scum behind walls .. I have no problem with that ... I do have a problem with them having contracts stipulating that they must be guaranteed a certain occupancy % usually above 90% and taxpayers paying for empty beds when that quota is not being met. I would not be surprised if the prison call centers do not have some kind of Contact with the Democrats phone soliciting for their candidates ... IMO guys like these two, who make home in maximum security prisons for violent acts, should have an implant at the base of the brain and top of spine with a small charge and locator beacon .... IF they find a way to get outside the wall, after a few steps that small charge pops leaving them dead in their tracks... The locator beacon is so no time is wasted finding the dead body (and of course monitoring inside the facility),,, No wasted $$$$$ and Time on Manhunts... No wasted $$$$ on Hospitals when a bullet meant to take him out misses it's spot and fails to send him to the grave.... no additional innocent casualties

I have thought about doing that exact same thing haha! Iv seen em absolutely destroy those Styrofoam bobbers ...I mean pieces everywhere. Yeah!!! I was getting pissed off, seeing how often they were shredding those cheap Bright Orange Styrofoam Cigar Bobbers cutting my line in the process leaving my to re-rig .... And I always try to be prepared ... Gutted the yellow plastic clip from center ran about 18 inches of steel leader through it with a few different size beads between a 3/0 treble hook and bobber and bobber and top of leader where I had a stopper allowing for about an 1 - 1/12 inches of gap to allow it to slide back and fourth, little cracking the beads , on the 18 inch leader .... I was not surprised that it worked but was surprised how well .... plus beat the heck out of losing $4-$7 spinners for every few fish like my buddies were doing ... I do not get up fishing pike that often , but I dang sure will make up some more variations and one just like I made on shore that day ...

The American Prison system is a Joke and really just more Welfare ... for inmates who get better treatment than many of our veterans and corporate welfare by letting and making some of these F'ed up contracts with the privatized prisons that now house a good percent of inmates and is growing every year.

red and black buzz-baits and spinners with steel leaders..... buzz-bait liked to do a weightless trailer about 6 inches behind.... heck on one trip after losing a half dozen rigs (fishing bait on bobber) because they kept attacking the the Hunter Orange Bobbers cutting my Mono above the leader ... I fashioned my own Mcgyver top water bait running a steel leader just through the bobber connected to a big treble hook... That thing out fished everything that weekend landing 23 pike before a big one stole it. That was my last trip up there about 6 years ago ... If I ever go back I will be making up a few variations similar to what I made on the bank that day

If any of you read the actual court rulings and responses ... There is nothing prohibiting a church from denying a gay couple the service of being wed... If there are to be any lawsuits , they will not win and if by chance they do , they will be over turned by SCOTUS for being unconstitutional. I agree with those that feel too much energy is being spent hating on something that is not new( Archie Bunker's wife had a transgender friend that got killed on that show), the issue is the liberal media machine that is trying to force people into acceptance... No one should have to accept anything they feel goes against their INDIVIDUAL morals. As long as it is not being shoved in my face I say let them be, but with like so many other things the liberals take these little issues and try to make them into a BS circus and all are forced to watch. Playing devils advocate... If everyone used the logic that gay individuals were born that way, and it is not a choice... so all should accept it, then we also should accept Serial murderers. The same has been said for many Serial Murderers , as to being born that way with a brain defect that makes them that way.

I remember growing up and being on San Carlos Lake.... My dad always slowed down the boat in the same spot because of an old Timer Apache that was always standing in his canoe spearing carp with his home made spears ... he loved carp and was always willing to take them carp off our hands any time we caught them while jigging the trees . Was cool watching him work the way he did in that old canoe, I know I could not have been able to keep it upright the way he did.

Would have saved a lot of time, money, and resources ... if these inmates just had exploding neck collars on with a tracker ... Hey warden we have an escapee can I hit the Button ?

Air fair is not cheap but looks like a sweet deal...

You do not need DOT rated tires for pavement to be legal ... Would it be recommended , of course, but it is not required

When did they revise the statute .... It has always been based on location and though I did not do a registration in 2015 in 2014 it was still required... as well as an inspection the first time registering it ...

Page 6 tells you all you need ... Usually the add-on's that most have to get are the Horn ... and License Plate light .... looks like you would need to add a handle bar mirror. If they do not have a brake light you would need to add that as well but most made have that covered... Then get your insurance and emmissions testing and you should be good ... http://www.azgfd.gov/pdfs/outdoor_recreation/ohv/atv_brochure.pdf

How can a Premier Member not know how to post pictures

Lots of ways to do it ... but IMO having a copy of the native image, being able to clear the card to reuse in the field , portability, storage,viewing on Android phones and comparable in cost to an inexpensive tablet... Gives you more bang for the $$$$$ ... Unfortunately not a good option for Apple IOS I-phone users

If you use and android phone and do not want to switch out SD cards all the Time ... this is a good solution - 500GB portable drive that transfers all your photos in minutes and allows you to hook to your android smart phone to view.. at home it hooks to PC as an external Hard Drive so you can transfer all and/or delete the pics you do not care for ... lots of benefits to doing it this way IMO http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1077915-REG/digital_foci_p31_500_photo_safe_ii_on.html

You can not use the Flesh of Game Fish as bait .... So unless G&F has redefined flesh ( which is muscle and fat found between the skin and bones) then using the guts or organs should not be against the law... You can not use a whole game fish ( tell the craws that when they are eating at the fish on your stringer) or fillets from a fish.

Slavery was never abolished ! It just Got a New MASTER called THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT

^^^^^^^^ is correct ^^^^^^^

That is a whole lot of fish sticks looks like a heck of a fun time thanks for sharing !

when done cook them up in tequila once the tequila steams through them and cooks most the way off a quick sautee with butter, garlic, and cilantro or parsley and you will no longer worry about if you caught fish or not that day! I think fish head and guts always seemed to fill the traps faster but never had a problem using so many other things from Hot Dogs to liver ... Using Bacon would have been sacrilege!

See a lot of guys on here that suggest using SPOT devices for safety and piece of mind while out packing... Not sure if it has been brought up... So for those looking at getting a SPOT device there are some decent rebates ... 50% back on a visa card for Gen3 and Trace and 100% back for Global Sat Phone ... For new customers and of course you have to have service and activate, but those looking at using them are already aware of that... Looks like rebates with be through Sept. 14th http://www.sportsmanswarehouse.com/img/callouts/2015_SPOT_SummerRebate_All_Devices.pdf

Bulls can keep growing through late July and even into early August ( though the smaller guys are usually the ones growing in August ) ... An increase in Testosterone triggers the Velvet to basically choke off the blood flow and stop growing several weeks to a month before they start rubbing .. During that time the Bone is hardening and the blood and water is used up making the velvet begin to dry up slowly once the bone is hardened they stripping that velvet off...

I agree that with all the things that seem to be able to get funded that the G&F should be able to Fund for and Pay individuals to hold weekend courses weekly or bi-weekly ... IMO as a hunter, I would see no issue in even paying a larger fee to take a course that was more readily available on a more reoccurring basis. I look at it as an extra bonus point every year and @ $13 a bonus point taking and having your Hunters education pays for itself over the years beyond just the piece of mind....Having to seek out field days for online course is not as easy as it should be for something required of our youth... I see the lack of a well organized Hunters education system by the G&F department as an oversight IMO There is no issue finding a CCW class .... I do not see any reason there should be an issue finding a Hunters Education Class and field day ...

If I recall ours said boxed in USA made in China ! ... From the Kodiak website Where are Kodiak Canvas tents manufactured? All our tents are made in China by an expert canvas tent maker. If your concern is quality, know that all the materials are top of the line. We use top grade zippers and components. The canvas is custom woven and treated to meet our specs. We are confident that our tents are the best value for your dollar. If your question is more about patriotism, know that companies that claim that their tents are "Made in the USA", are most likely made with canvas that comes from Pakistan or India. While our tents are made abroad, they are made with cotton grown in the USA (the % of USA cotton can vary). Significant duties are levied on all tents imported into the USA, generating funds for the federal government. Kodiak Canvas is a USA based company, but our tents are sold in many countries around the world including Asia. As a global citizen, Kodiak Canvas seeks to produce its products responsibly, while ensuring our customers get the most value for their hard earned money. Be assured that our tents are made in modern, clean facilities, with skilled, well paid, adult employees.

Come on Bonecollector ... If people would take the time to read and/or call prior if they do not understand, there would be no issue ... There have also been plenty of threads and rants on this forum discussing it ... License must only be valid at time of draw and you renew your license when your year is up ... Not rocket science and no overlap if people take the time to read... As others suggested Jan 1 is always the best day and best way to make sure you are covered year in , year out ... I know a lot of people who are thankful that when they decide to get a license mid year that they are not screwed out of 6 months with the new structure... Love how everyone wants to blame others and G&F in this case for there inability to educate themselves on a structure that in all fairness loses G&F more money than they would make ... I personally know a lot of people who seemed to always had only gotten 6-8 months out of a combo the old way.

When I took the test 29 years ago it was offered through our Boy Scout Troop ... I think everyone in the Troop but one or two took it and a good number of them were not even hunters. Big Browns, I respect that you want to share your passion of hunting with your kids, but the NRA Safety requirement is not what is making it hard to do. As parents, I believe it is up to us to change the entitlement mentality that is plaguing the last couple generations. I feel this is a good opportunity for you to teach them- that with patience, putting in the work required, and understanding the rules as well as following them not only gives them more opportunities but a bigger sense of accomplishment. Selling it off as something that is being forced, and not as important as it would seem you already have is only doing them a disservice. Just my opinion.
