Mike, those are some nice mounts. The Coues are great.

That is one dandy buck.

I guess I am in the minority here but I will continue to drive the speed limit, BTW if you drive a diesel you will get better fuel economy. I do try to pull over when someone is speeding up behind me when I am in the high speed lane.

You got a point. I drive all over the state. I have yet to have my "picture" taken but then again I drive the speed limit. If it happens one day I am sure not going to ignore. I drive the speed limit and I don't care what the traffic speed is. If I can move over to the right to let the faster traffic go by I will. It seems like the ADOT mobile cameras give you plenty of notice with the one or two signs that are put up. I will say that some of the rural highways don't have anough speed limit signs so it is hard to guess the speed limit.

Congratulations on your trophy. I like to see animals go into the record books.

Follow the speed limit signs and there won't be a problem. That would be to easy though.

That's a shame. X2, they are good eating.

Unless it has already been posted here, you will need a Habitat Stamp to hunt on Forest Service and BLM Land ($5) and a mandatory Habitat Management and Access Validation Stamp ($4).

Very nice Clay. Looks like you got them coming in.

The Garmin etrex Legend that is on sale now at Bass Pro is the older version that is being phased out. I have had two and the only reason I don't have them now is the fact that one was stolen and the other was broken in an ATV wreck. They are not the high sensivity antenna type but work just fine. They have 8mb of memory space. The newer Legend had the new high sensitive antenna and a few newer features including 24mb of memory. I bought mine on line for $130 plus shipping from GPSCity.

SRP must have been good to you. I just missed you at the office the other day. I told Gunnar that you can now spend time chasing Condors and Wolves.

That is one cool find.

Well I guess that depends on whose laws you are refering to now doesn't it?

These are the two best OHV links. There is a lot of useful information on them. http://www.azstateparks.com/ohv/ http://www.azgfd.gov/outdoor_recreation/off_highway.shtml

It does suck that you got the ticket but the laws have been on the books for a long time. Almost every forest service website states that if the roads are horizontally signed or maintained then your ride is required to be street legal (this includes having minimum state required liablilty insurance). It is also on the Game and Fish website. If the road in vertically signed then you don't. All ATV's are required to have a RV plate at the very least. We also all know that at the beginning of the year all quads and a few more types of rides are required to have the new $25 yearly OHV sticker. This year there is two types of MC street legal quad plate registrations. The first is Option 1 (primarily off road). The fee is around $5. The second is Option 2 (primarily on road). The fee is a lot more based on the value of the ride + a few items. Both require emission testing if your ride is over 5 years old and your County has emission testing.

Mike, stick to your guns, post the pictures if you want, it really doesn't matter anyways, a thief is a thief.

From where is was found it is most likely a Western Patch-nosed Snake.

Last year was only a junior hunt also.

Very nice field photo and mount.

As do I. Kind of hard to fix a wheel that is not broken.

Nice. That must have been a great hunt and experience.

Congratulations on a very fine bull.

What a great buck. Congratulations.

Nice job, congratulations on your success.

Great story and congratulations on a very nice buck.
