    Pretty sure the younger ones can have striped legs when younger. Seen them with faint striped legs with the younger ones around Alamo

    Weird. Maybe both ears back just in time for the pic. Looks like a young critter

    Baby quail sightings

    G&F probably wouldn’t bother with it. I remember a story of two old boys in Sun City West who were neighbors and the one shot one of the little bastards with a pellet gun. The neighbor called the sheriff and a deputy showed up and pretty much laughed but made the comment the neighbor should call G&F. They never showed up.

    Couple years ago I watched one grab a juvenile cottontail on a job site with a cockiness and aggressiveness of a mountain lion. The other day on old Spanish trail one ran out in front of a car to try and grab some poor critter and got plowed. It brightened my day!

    When I was a teen in the early 80s we snuck up on the O RO a few years mule deer hunting.😂 yeah I know! I remember thinking this is Gods country! My buddies dad said during our lifetime we’d see our public lands be sold off and that’s what we’d experience. Hunting only for the ones that could afford it. Crazy how decades later you remember comments like that when our reps test the waters the way they did recently!

    You don’t what? Want our public lands to be public anymore? Be careful what you wish for

    Do a little homework on the political affiliation of the many ranchers in this state who own 100 acres or less deeded that is contiguous with their 20k-50k acre 150 head Fed grazing lease and many of them shut us fellow conservative/ republicans down from accessing it. Then dig a little further and when you find out what said rancher pays per cow/calf pair per year to graze it, it will really piss you off

    Whetstone Lodge

    The top pic in roofer Billy’s post is a cabin that was built about 120 years ago by a family that homesteaded that area. The Feds recently kicked out a squatter that was a Buddhist who lived in it for quite a while. We called him ol blue. But this place is definitely not near the upper reaches, it’s in the bottom of Wakefield canyon

    You’ve got to be thinking about the little cabin up in Apache canyon if you drove to it east of Empire Ranch. You had me thrown when you said it was at the top. No roads or structures up top that I know of

    This structure is in the Whetstones?

    Top of the Whetstones? Do you remember what side of the range you came in from?

    Not sure the left can be blamed for this one. Democrats have been instrumental in getting done the purchase of several ranches here in so Az for preservation and making sure sportsmen have access to these lands. 2 of them in the Whetstones. Not sure why they marked the area on the west side of the Whetstones and claiming affordable housing. It’s laughable because it’s the most rugged and remote part of this range and there are two developments on the north side that one can’t even get out of the ground after a dozen years and the other started breaking ground in 2001 and is at best only 50% sold and built out

    Home defense shotgun

    I do think that many don’t think of the repercussions if you do kill or wound someone especially outside when it may or may not be self defense. What shook me up a bit was when I read a story of a guy who shot an unarmed douche who broke into his house. No criminal charges but the family of the intruder sued him civilly. Dont remember the specifics but the whole ordeal but it cut deeply into his net worth defending himself. Scary stuff all the way around

    Home defense shotgun

    Well the day they were looking for the guy in our area I actually had to go find him because BPs dogs couldn’t pick up his scent! (Thats a whole other level of absurdity) I simply walked out 100 yards and found the guy in the grass under a mesquite and of course shaking i brandished the 45. There were 3 agencies and probably 50 guys looking for him and nobody with BP, DPS or Cochise county ever even wanted to look at any of my guns. Honestly they all probably didn’t want to deal with me much at that point. It was a true case of just a bunch of Barney Fifes out here sadly!

    Home defense shotgun

    The way all this Tacticool crap is marketed to us is hilarious. We had a manhunt in our area a dozen years ago and as luck would have it the meth head wound up on our patio. As he tried our front, back doors and various windows there was no working of actions. My wife stood there with my 870 wingmaster loaded with #6 shot and me with my 45 if the poor bastard were to make it in. The little stubby shotshells crack me up. Who thinks about recoil in a situation like this? Just my opinion

    SxS users, dust protection?

    I’d have that thing ripped to shreds the first day of its first hunt

    Now that’s old school! Every time I see a bolo tie I think of Bill Close doing the news in the 70s.
