Congrats on the tag JACK! Good luck, no matter which unit/hunt it ends-up being! I got drawn for a general statewide archery deer tag. A couple of old college buddies and I will be meeting-up for a week of camping/fishing/archery hunting late this summer! We'll likely focus in some of our favorite spots down in the Southern part of the state. Can't wait!! S.

I think you nailed it! Looks like it would be great in decent weather. I'll stick to my Alaknak for potential wind/rain though.... Could be a great options for families looking for lots of sleeping-bag space for summer camp-outs! S.

I'm definitely no law expert either, but my opinion is that I don't really see where his constitutional rights were violated. He had a run-in with a cop who was an A-hole and/or was apparently having a very bad day. He didn't cooperate, so he was detained. After the cop talked to his supervisor, they decided that they couldn't charge him. They learned that they had to let him go, and they did just that. Now some DA has a bug up his butt, so he or she is investigating and maybe filing new charges. So what..... Constitutional rights being violated? Just like the Cop, it seems like this guy had a bit of a chip on his shoulder. Seems like if the cop would have been 'nicer', and he would have 'complied', that this thing would never have made it to print. Still would like to hear the Youtube, as until then, the credibility of this story is pure urban legend, IMO..... I would agree with you on one thing Casey, you are not a law expert (and as admitted, nor am I) Respectfully, S.

I would like to hear the Youtube audio, I suppose. Seems like the cop was definitely being a jerk and was on edge....... On the other hand, it also seems like if he simply complied with the order to get on his knees and did what the cop said, that he would have had a chance to eventually show is licenses. All second hand hear-say until we hear the Youtube clip though. Set-up for life with a competent attorney Casey? Huh? Suppose maybe if he wants to live in van by the river for life, else my guess is that he wouldn't win that much. S.

Wow!!!! That looks like an awesome trip!!!!!! Great pics as always. Thanks for sharing! S.

Bummer for sure...... So many AZ natives (myself included.....) and/or long time residents have great memories there. Molly Butler, fishing in the Little Colorado, Mt. Baldy wilderness...... All great memories from White Mountain camping/fishing trips as a kid! Ditto Lark! Glad no one was hurt! S.

AWESOME!!!!! I just LOVE to see the little ones out hunting! Good for you, and congrats to the little man!! S.

Yea, likely some sue happy lawyer will try to get the pics anyway, I suppose..... As sometimes happens, I wouldn't be too surprised to see some pics leaked eventually anyway. Not sure how this compares to our war dead or Abu Ghraib though. I didn't think the US ever released 'official' pictures of our war dead. Seems any pics of our war dead generally come from unofficial sources (so called.... I guess....), and the Abu Ghraib pics were not 'official' either, to my knowledge. I think those were glory shots taken by the guards that were partaking in their fun..... What ever though, he's dead, and I'm glad for that. S.

http://buzz.yahoo.com/buzzlog/93844?fp=1 Be careful out there!!! S.

Of course you all likely saw the latest. They are NOT going to release the pics..... That will no doubt, give the conspiracy thinkers more ammo. I for one though, absolutely believe that he is dead, and I don't really give a crap about him anymore. Dead is dead, whether I get to see the pic or not. S.

Yep, I noticed the Cabela's tent. Shed my pop-up trailer a year ago and went back to tent camping. I have the 12x12 Alaknak, and love it! I also have the Camo-cot bunks..... They are awesome! Makes it MUCH easier to fit a family in the tent! Great post! Thanks for sharing the adventure! S.

VERY awesome!!!!!! Thanks for sharing! BTW, is that an Alaknak tent? S.

+1 I been thinking bout this all day. I guess im just a bit skeptical with our govt these days especially after the whole Pat Tillman cover up. Not sure what this has to do with the Pat T. cover-up. That was a poor decision that was made by leaders on the ground in Afghanistan, not the Administration. Has nothing to do with this. Conspiracy theories will always be there. I find it inconceivable that would be the case here...... IMO So what if they originally said twice in the left side of the head, but then quickly buried him at sea? What would that have to do with it being the right guy or not? It was a covert operation, and so it would be expected that there are varying stories and speculation regarding exactly how it went down. Let it rest guys, and celebrate the fact that justice has been done. Good job to our leaders and the forces that got this job done! S.

Way to go TJ!!! You certainly seem to have a knack for getting it done! Congrats! S.

Recipe looks great Bill!!!!! I think I'll have to try it on my kids! Thanks for sharing Bill! S.

Way to go Amanda!!!!!!! No tag for me this year, but I'm heading-up to SLC to help my buddy on a hunt next weekend, and I can't wait!!! Thanks for sharing! S.

"POS"???? You are taking this mascot thing WAY too seriously, IMO..... S.

I've not done any turkey hunting in 6A, but I've seen a few while archer elk hunting there. I'll shoot you a PM..... Good luck to your boys!! S.

AWESOME Allen!!!! Sincere congrats on that archery tag! You've waited soooooo long! Pure gold! S.

Wow you two!!!!!!!! Awesome for both of you!! (Kids & I were skunked on tags this year.....) Amanda, I'm going to try to get a day or two off to come crash your camp!! Allen, archery or rifle???? Very cool for both of you! S.

lol lol S.

Quiet areas!!!!! It is a fun tag! Good luck! S.

Kids & I were skunked this year. At least there are many other critters to hunt in this great state! Sincere congrats to all who got tags!! S.

+1 As usual; words of wisdom from Lark..... S.

Cool video!!!!! I went on my first 'lion chase' with dogs in late January. Didn't catch the thing, but it was an awesome experience!!! I'm looking forward to my next hunt! Thanks for sharing! S. PS: LOVE the Danzig!! One of my favorite 'head-banging' tunes of all time!!
