Everyone has their opinion of what 'too crowded' is.... In my opinion only, if you float from Horseshoe to Bartlett on a weekend you will likely see a few folks. Not necessarily too many though. You'll see some where the road access points are....... The longer upper stretch above Horseshoe you'll see even fewer folks. Obviously if you could go during the week it would be MUCH better too! What type of boat are you running? Canoes or rafts? I've only done canoes..... S.

Now I recall a 60 minutes story from a while back........ Focused on the work that Alan Rabinowitz has done. http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7300063n I'm not a huge fan of 60 minutes, but if you're interested in Jaguars it's a pretty interesting piece (clearly slanted toward conservation in support of Rabinowitz's work......). That dude has a serious passion for these animals! Now you've got me inspired. Might have to a quick search on Amazon for some reading material! S.

+1 on the Verde if you're looking for an alternative to the Gila! Upper Salt is not so great for fishing, IMO. Diversion dam keeps most of the fish from running-up stream there. S.

Good/interesting information. Makes sense. Likely the scale in my mind when I saw the life-sized mount was tainted by the coolness of it! Darn thing looked all of 400lbs in my mind!! lol Again, thanks for sharing the pics/info Lance! S.

Good Lord! Look at the amazing pattern on that thing! VERY awesome, Lance! Big-time thanks for posting/sharing! Quick question; Do you have a pic that you could share that shows 'scale'? I had the pleasure of viewing a life sized mount of a Jaguar once, and the sheer size of the animal truly amazed me! The thing looked something like 2x-3x the size of a lion. Left an impression on me to see it. Again, thanks for sharing. S.

Not sure what source you cut/pasted that from, but anytime I see words like "it is widely reported...." I immediatly am suspicious of the spin-factor! I agree that the link to the first article provided some good facts. S.

Looks yummy! I travel to India once or twice a year for work. Due to that, I have had the opportunity to spend time in Southern India, where the spices/curry's are amazing (spicey!)! Even though not Thailand, the flavors are VERY simlar. I'll usually bring back some fresh masala blends if possible, and I'll have to try this recipe! Thanks for posting! S.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing with the site! S.

That's a great summary! Again, thanks for sharing. S.

"Big Browns" is right! Great write-up and pics. Thanks for sharing! S. PS: Hmmm...... Canyon Creek + Turkey Season?? = Cast and Blast??? Could be a fun combo this time of year!

Wow! Awesome! "brute" is a perfect description for both of those deer! So now I have a question; No offence, but what on earth are you doing on THIS site??? lol With deer like that, what on earth could you be interested in a little coues deer?? In all seriousness though, welcome to the site and thanks for sharing! S.

AWESOME!!!! Thanks much for sharing with the site! S.

AWESOME!!!!! Thanks for sharing with the site! S.

Awesome, TJ! Great pics! Yes, I agree that anyone who has not attended one of these things should definitely give it a try. Love the positive energy that usually goes along with the Youth Camps! S. PS: I agree Ilene, he actually DOES look pretty good in that apron! lol

Same here, Snapshot. Prayers and respect to those impacted (Which I suppose is our entire nation....). Thanks, S.

Counting the years down until my kids are through college. Then my disposable income goes to fun like this! S.

Ugh.... No doubt a sad day. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/04/15/explosion-reported-near-finish-line-boston-marathon-spokesman-says/ S.

Go get em' Snapshot! So what is the answer to your question though? What really CAN be done to get him out of the Whitehouse if that is the goal?? S.

Awesome deer! Thanks for sharing the pic. S.

Smart and good looking? LOL If you knew me you wouldn't say that! S.

Well heck, if the 2nd amendment is "out dated" i geuss the 1st one is too!!! All i can say is COME AND TAKE EM'!!! They just better make sure what they bring is bigger than mine!!! LOL What does that request have to do with the 1st amendment? 'Asking' someone not to air something and 'forcing' them not to air something are to completly different things, IMO...... S.

COOL!!!! I grew-up in Kearny, and it would have been VERY cool to have the opportunity to see those critters there when I was a kid! Awesome that they are working on growing the sheep herd there! S.

Forgot about Tee Pee, and I live only about 3 miles from there! Yes, on par with Carolinas and others! S.

I agree with this point. Keeping the information and the use of the information in the future could be a concern. Question for anyone here; It's been a while since I've purchased a new gun. Do they still have you fill-out the same yellow form that has been there for decades? I know it's not background check related, but it sure does have critical information (name, address, serial number of firearm, etc.). What is everyone's opinion of the 'yellow form'? S. If you are buying from a licensed dealer you will be required to fill out a 4473. It stays with the dealer and he also records the sale infor, buyers name, serial # etc into a "Bound Book". The book and 4473 stay with the dealer until he is no longer a dealer at which time he turns it all into BATF. So pretend a firearm is used in a crime and recovered. Law Enforcement goes back to the manufacturer with the Ser#. They tell him which wholesaler they sent it to who in turn tells them what retailer/FFL Holder bought it and by him looking up his in log book and 4473 he gives them the name of the buyer. If the buyer sold it and didn't keep a record od who he sold it too (not currently required in AZ) the paper trail ends. http://www.atf.gov/files/forms/download/atf-f-4473-1.pdf Thanks much! That is a great comprehensive description of how the current system works! Interesting nuance regarding the government actually holding/storing the information vs. the retailer/FFL keeping the information. S.
