Nice pics Amanda!!!!! S.

Wow TJ....... Yes, you're toast! S.

And the same here also.... Congrats to all that drew tags! My kids will be back in the draw next year! I really DO like the way NM handles their drawing system.... S.

Thanks for the post Doug! Always a topic of interest this time of year.... S.

Cool!!!! Is there fishing going on in Lower Lake Mary??? Any little pike or rainbows down there this summer???? Just cuious... S.

TOTAL class act!!! Galarraga made a comment something to the effect of '.... I'll have the tape to show my son someday, and that's what matters....'. S.

Yea, I wasn't necessarily trying to imply anything with my original question either. Simple observation.... BTW, I've seen muleys with similar configurations in the mountains just 60-70 miles east of Phx. S.

I've got the Browning take-down semi auto. I love it, and the kids REALLY love it!! S.

Terry, yes, respect for sure! Opinions are like.... well, you know the rest! I have mine and you have yours friend! COUESAZ, I hear you. I really do! I just have a hard time with 'arm chair quarterbacking' in general. Kind of a personal hang-up of mine I suppose... Regarding what you said about Lark's opinion, well I suppose you're right that he is likely not far from the truth. He rarely is, and I mean that.... Rag Horn, no doubt it would be different if is was a Mexican Gray.... S. PS Terry, I'm keeping my fingers crossed on some NM youth antelope tags for the kids. Sincere thanks for your help there!!

Wow!!!!! Nice buck! Whitetail genes in that rack somewhere along the way maybe????? Maybe Jim H. will comment?? Thanks for sharing! S.

I'm going from pop-up camper back to tent camping, and I've pretty much made up my mind on the 12X12 Ultimate Alaknak. There was an Alaknak for sale here a few months ago, but I wasn't ready then.... Anyway, virtually all of the reviews I've read, and I've read quite a few, are generally positive. The one common theme in the negative category is the propencity for condensation build-up. Anyone else have feedback on the Alaknak? http ://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/template...box.jsp.form23 S.

Glad to see yet another positive review on the Alaknak bdrew!! The turkey hunt was great (no birds killed, but the kids had a GREAT time!)! The tent performed very nice! Lots of room and VERY easy to set-up! In fact, when we arrived I realized that I did NOT have the instructions to set it up. We were able to figure it out intuitively fairly easily, and had it set-up within 20-30 mins. I also purchased the Cabela's 'bunk' cot set. Great for the kids, and makes it that much easier to sleep four in the tent! Next stop is the Rim in a couple of weeks, then our annual 6 day family camping trip to So. Utah at the end of June! Kudos to Cabelas for making a great tent! S.

Sad indeed. God bless his wife and small children. S. http://www.azfamily.com/news/local/Phoenix...g-94916484.html

Nice job Quinton!!!!! Thanks for sharing! S.

With all due respect to Lark, Amanda, Terry, and others...... Armchair quarter-backing is easy IMO. The guys had a decision to make, and they made it. I'm personally not going to second guess the decision because I wasn't there and do NOT know all of the facts. Terry, nit-picking on the wording of 'animal' because they didn't write 'domestic animal' is a bit weak at this point. You knew what they meant, right??? Again, only IMO... (which I absolutely know doesn't mean much.... ) But; 'should have never happended.... '?? Really??? How do you really know what should or should not have happend? You weren't there. S.

Cool idea for a thread, and a couple of nice posts guys!!! Thanks for sharing! S.

Hey Cade: Thinking this must have been posted previously, since I think the episode might have aired already, but as I was getting ready for work this morning the TV was on the Outdoor Channel and they were showing a hunt from Argentina. I think it was an LL Bean show.... Anyway, the guy was using The Claw! I didn't see the begininning of the show so I don't know if it was mentioned, but there was no doubt he was shooting with The Claw. Made a shot on a stag at the end of the show where you could see the 'vapor trail'.... Kind of cool! I don't think the mentioned the yardage though. Was this posted in the past already??? Anyway, it just caught my attention.... S.

I'm going to be out of town for business and hence can't make it.... Do a quick search here though GingerRam!! There will definitetly be good representation from cw.com there!!! S. PS: Welcome to the site!!!!

Amazing Andy and Tines!!!!!! Love it!!!!!! S.

A few years ago, a buddy of mine made several 'walking sticks' out of Yucca stalks. He gave me one, and I was skeptical at first..... I've now had this "Yucca walking stick" for 15 years, and it's great! The end of it has kind of gotten mashed-down a bit over the years and is kind of soft, which actually acts just like a little rubber silencer on the end as you're walking. I really like it.... S.

Really nosajpo??? How are they going to 'cut them off from power....' ??? Explain to me, logically, how the commission is going to 'cut them off....' given their charter/authority? Do you understand the limited power the the ACC has?? Do you know something that the rest of us don't??? I read the letter. Among other things, he basically states that he would 'be happy to encourage AZ utilities to renegotiate their contracts so LA no longer receives AZ power...' The CA utilites have an OWNERSHIP stake in the AZ power generation! They are not "AZ utilities..." as he states! There is JOINT ownership! Therefore they are CA/AZ utilities!!! There is NO way that they will 'no longer receive AZ power...'! My point is that IMO he looks stupid for jumping into this pissing match. Blowing smoke to make it look like the government commission he represents has the authority to do something that they do NOT! Do they have the authority to influence rates, etc. YES! Do they have the authority to see that CA no longer gets power??? NO! CA: "Oh yea? Well, if you do that, then we'll do this!!!" AZ: "Oh yea? Well, if you guys do THAT, then we'll do this!!!" CA: "Oh yea? Well, our govenor can beat up your govenor!!!" AZ: "Oh yea? Well, at least our govenor is a natural born citizen!!!" CA: "Well you can't cut our power off anyway!" AZ: "Can to!" CA: "Can not!" AZ: "Can to!" CA: "Can not!" AZ: "Oh yea? Well at least we have COUES deer to hunt!!!" CA: "OH yea? Well we don't want to hunt those little deer anyway!" Etc., etc., etc....... Politics makes me sick. S.

Yea, it's a nice letter and all, but you KNOW he's just blowing smoke. The AZ Corporation Commission has no power (no pun intended....) over this decsion. California utilities have invested in AZ power plants (Palo Verde) and contractually, the power is going to keep going to California. Nice of him to jump into the media circus though. IMO, the guy looks stupid for sending a letter threatening to do something he has no power over...... S.

Cool!!!!!! Born & raised here in AZ, and I've only seen ONE in the wild!! S.

COOL!!!!!!! Nice pics!!!! S.

My experience (though limited... ) is that they do NOT respond as they do in Spring. BUT, they do respond!!! We've had a little success in the fall if/when we bust-up a group of birds, we will then set-up with a decoy quickly and do some calling. Sometimes it seems like the birds will kind of come around and try to 're-group' after we've busted them up.... Good luck!!! S.
