How can opportunities not be impacted if you can't even get there?

I live in Gisela, many times while on a tractor or riding mower I'll look up and there will be a California king snake hanging down from a tree. Gets me every time.

I recommend a book by Jinx Pyle. I think he wrote it in the late 60's. He lived in the Payson, Gisela, Young area. In this books he predicts exactly what has been happening out west. He wrote this long before we had huge fires. And also tells his opinions on why the forest circus lets this happen. If any of you have been going to the north rim for a long time. Just think how long it took Jacob Lake to get permits to sell diesel fuel. Now it it and the country store burn down. Do you thing the forest circus will give permits for fuel again? This would effectively shut down the north rim to most people. He also talks about the introduction of top line predators. Easy read but will make you think.

and a couple in state car dealers.

I have a friend here who puts very strong reflective tape on the ear tags on his cows. Pretty long strands, sure helps at night driving down a steep curved road.

So I can't use my hearing aids while hunting????

Sorry, Life can be a challenge at times.... Archery elk in 23 had it happen 2 times. Then Archery Deer on Kaibab. Funny thing was the year before I had killed a nice buck. Two people came by my camp and saw it, while I was butchering. I didn't think anything of it. The next year I literally had people follow me to my parking spots. I would come back to the truck at night to find 3 or more quads parked near me. Then I started leaving earlier in the morning. Got to my parking spot to have someone in the dark telling me they had a hunter in this draw or that flat. Come back to my truck at night and be confronted by idiots.

Maybe Trumped picked his running mate for self protection. Dems may not to kill off Trump with the possible VP also a threat. Better to have a good understanding of your adversary than not.

I also picked up my units in Rocky point. my shop is 1500sqf I bought 3 units. one is 230v the other 2 are 110v I have two separate rooms in addition to the mail shop. everything work great. I also got the ones for heat has well. At my home the heat is a necessity at times.. when it hot like now I run the main one almost non stop. My electric bill went up about $70 in the hot summer months, and $60 in the coldest months. When the dewpoint is low I then use a portable evap cooler.

I did this years ago on a trip to Alaska. Just a small chest freezer and a small generator. I took my kids there for a trip, and we fished rivers all over. We brought home lots of salmon and Brook trout. worked out perfect.

when I lived near south mountain we had lots of Sonoran iguana's . Some close to 18" they were fun to see and watch. But they would eat a whole nest of eggs with no problem.

that is a prime truck for Mexico. parts are easy to get and because of its age no registration needed. I was always torn between taking my 96 Cummins ram to Mexico or my new ram. If our government really cared they could have people at the border crossings watching has vehicles head to Mexico. It sucks, your insurance will try and give you 3k or less and be done with it......

Yes it has. Three times now.

It's no fun when on an archery hunt, you scout hard. The season opens and each spot you go to, a non hunter tells you we have a client in this spot. And the same thing happens all day... Then you say screw it and just hunt, and ignore the rudeness. Only to find that night your camp has been messed with, or your truck now has multiple flat tires. Some guides and multiple helpers act has if they own the entire unit because they have a client.

for that money I would go to Garland's or Briar patch. I grew up there and can recommend both. But Garland's will for sure be memorable.
