Non-Typical Solutions

OK that was probably an over generalization but when you think about it........the list of movies I can go to with my wife have decreased over the years as she has banned numerous actors and actresses..........pretty soon won't be able to listen to any music or go to any movies..........wait, I have a unit 1 archery bull tag, I don't need music or movies

Guys and gals....think back to the highs school days......drama, music.............what kids were seriously into those programs........all your free thinkers, love not war..........peace man...............and they have become the face of our nation because they get the publicity, they make the big bucks..... Really no surprise.....

I have this song I am trying to track down, I don't know the singer and I don't know the words........ There is a line in there that says something like this.......it ain't cool to be 15......when your dad is 40 or something like that. It talks about the dad wearing a flannel shirt and recalling getting a young girl knocked up at an early age... It is country of course........... I know this is going to go wild crazy but somebody out there it is going to click and you are going to know what song I am talking about. Try to keep it civil.........and yes....just about every country song you know fits that description. Thanks for kicking it around.

I can't hold off on this non-hunting related topic. Just a quick info blurb.........your local public school is probably in the middle of a huge budget crunch. Example: Snowflake School District 5 years ago was working under a capital budget of approximately 1 million. We were given word that our budget for next year is $100,000.00 This falls under what they call Capital money and is what schools use to provide bus services, maintenance, paper and supplies to name just a few things. Blue Ridge school district was only given a $90,000.00 Capital budget. Most Arizona public schools have been getting stripped of money for the last 10 years and we as a state are dead last in the country for amount spent per student. On the flip side, charter schools are getting huge amounts of state money dumped into their programs. Charter schools do not have to work under the same restrictions that public schools do. *One interesting note, there is a high percentage of legislators/politicians in our state that have personal money ties to charter schools. Example right here in Snowflake, Sylvia Allen and the charter school that popped up here in Snowflake last year. I am OK with charter schools as long as everybody is playing by the same rules and I really don't care which side of the fence you sit on charter/public but be involved with the education system and help get our state back on track. If you don't like the way you were educated then step up and make a difference. Our educational system is broke and it needs help from all of us to make the changes necessary to give our kids the education they need.

I transposed numbers one year back in the paper days and ended up in 36B..........previously a mule deer hunter exclusively. Would have never put in for that unit considering where I live. Would have never found this site had I not had "googled" coues white tail, and what a blessing it has been to me and my family. Many friends made here and no regrets for coming on here asking for help.............and I have not hurt the population of deer trophy or non-trophy as a result of my E-scouting!!!

I swear I love this site........thanks for the help!! Wish I was 40...........

That is the one....Dang I even have that on my IPOD and I couldn;t find it.....thanks a bunch I knew that somebody here could help me find it. Bet you can't tell I am raising a teenage boy can you.....thanks everybody....

I have been googling, if that is a word.....for 2 days now and I must have the words messed up enough that I can't seem to get the right song/artist. It is a male singer...........

Critter, If Cole decides to go wrestle Fargo this summer I will holler but that is later in the summer!!! We are headed to Stillwater, OK the end of June for a wrestling camp and I will be pulling a trailer if he wants to meet us there!!!

Are things such that you could not call and say hey....this is where I want to hunt....where are you wanting to hunt??? Dumb question I know not being in your shoes and all. Maybe some give and take on both parties making for a more relaxing hunt without the worries of it all??? Good luck on your hunt.

That was a worthwhile deuce.....cool find congrats......

That guy looks like he got his antler caught in the door Looks like a good day for sure.....

Not leaving yet, I bought this house 25 years ago and it's time to let it go. I lived in it for awhile and then rented it. The last guy stayed 10 years. Between a full time and part time job and other commitments I'm just getting tired. Put over 10K into the most recent work. It would be a good home for somebody. Good luck hopefully the market will be in your favor......

SS you leaving the area or is this a side project for you?

Have to be a premier poster to get top dollar

Are you talking waste of time or waste of time cause the pelts are good or bad?? Hunting coyotes is never a waste of time!!! I love taking my wife cept she just busts up laughing watching me blow on hand calls......great times with the boys as well, not a waste of time ever!!!

Congrats on the unit 10 tag, I love that unit and I also love trolling for big rainbows.......

Which is really better news as there are two great bucks out there roaming around!!!!

All this time I thought a troll was that little demon under the bridge on billy goats gruff???

Back in the early 70's which is more than 20 years ago we spent a lot of time fishing Big Lake and Reservation Lake. The only time we would ever and I mean ever see elk was once we crossed the Reservation line. We saw nice mule bucks right there in the Williamson valley all the time. Then you jump to the mid 90's, Elk everywhere, you took your life in your own hands driving between Show Low and Round Valley and on to Alpine, Nutrioso was a winter haven for elk, hundreds of elk all over that country and the deer became the least visible of the two species. Both the Rodeo/Chedeski and Wallow fires have changed habitat greatly in the rim country herds, where they hang out. That Rodeo/Chedeski fire moved the elk from the dry lakes tree farm area almost over night. Not to say there aren't still elk in there, just not the numbers as previously. I have seen more mule deer in these areas over the last 10 years than we were previously seeing, as to the size of antlers then and now.......I only see big antlers when I don't have a gun or a tag!!!

You have any pics of the traps and the Saki?

Looking at that last picture unless there is something freak about the buck not a match!! Dang good looking antlers though. We have alot of fun looking at the bases of antlers found in the same general area to compare..........

Coyotes have proven themselves to be a very adaptable predator........I would hate to see how many cats they have running around that city.......

Not bad for post number 2......cool pictures of some great AZ animals!!!
