Non-Typical Solutions

Agreed on things not adding up! Sheds were picked up and then put back down on the ground, gps coordinates logged and more hiking Guilty as charged for shed hunting no fee for antlers collected because none were collected! While hiking, crossed into private land, no posted signs and no fence! Charged with unlawful trespassing! Harassment of wildlife because hiking occurred in the hills where antlers were laying on the ground specifically mule deer antlers! Charged! I didn’t ever say nothing wrong occurred and there is nothing cryptic about the charges but honestly for my simple mind some things don’t add up! If you were out in the same exact hills “hunting coyotes “ and never touched an antler you could have logged gps waypoints and maybe you are legal? I am okay with the idea that maybe there is a property line un marked, research should have been done! Harassment of wildlife? Hiking in the hills 500 yards from the 50 hwy where deer pile up on the roadside daily? No wildlife was being chased or harassed anymore than CPW out there planting trap antlers! It is done, good lesson learned, fees have been paid and lashes to points distributed!

sneakem might be more versed in the point thing but basically you get x amount of points for different violations, I don't know the break down but it isn't anything to mess with for sure!!!

That's is what I'm told, oddly enough I didn't cross any fences but hey.....my mistake again.

No sheds were collected..............and yes very aware that "shed hunting" was closed!

Blue Mesa on the bare rocky edges

First and foremost, always important to know exactly what the law means, collection, possession, posted, not posted, the "act" of shed hunting, negative impact on wildlife....... "stashing" antlers is the same as shed hunting, but not categorized as "collection" or "possession"! You can ride snow mobiles, hike trails, coyote hunt, ride bikes, hike..........but if you touch one of those antlers before May 1............bingo you are illegally hunting sheds. It is OK for CPW to go plant antlers with tracking devices imbedded but that is not harassing wildlife Was sited for shed hunting, crossing into private land while shed hunting, harassing wildlife..................15 points and $450 fine and told because of how honest was given a break. So if you can benefit from some frustration then there you go! Should have known the law better...............or at least had a better understanding..............

Got Educated in Colorado/AZ differences!!!

I didn’t dig deep enough to find that other thread but after UofA March Madness debacle this made me laugh!

That Gila River absolutely amazes me the country it runs through and then can be so dang dry....I remember as a kid fishing the Gila on the east side of Virden, NM

I always have to laugh because depending on the time of year, visitors to AZ can sure get a different look on how things can be......

It was an interesting day.......I mean I have been pulled over for lots of things but never my windshield........then further up the hill a truck pulling a camp trailer started moving over to the fast lane when the nose of my truck was about even with his bumper, my wife coulda touched the trailer out her window......luckily I have enough shoulder, the dude literally pulled into the median as I hit my brakes and started a u-turn............I don't think he ever saw me and I'm lucky to be alive!!! Gotta love the rim road traffic!!!

I got pulled over yesterday on Bee Line Hwy right past Gilbert exit! Cop rolled up behind me, started to pass then pulled back. Gave me a repair order for my cracked windshield. I told him I was waiting for winter to be over because of all the crap on the highway. He held both hands open, looked up at the sky and said, "It feels like winter is over!!!! 77 here in Snowflake today, it will melt off fast and I guess he was right.............

Can you imagine in todays world dropping a kid off in the field with a flat bastard, a hoe and a water jug telling him you'll be back at noon and pick you up for lunch........

Not happy at all I had my share of hoeing cotton as a kid, just don't know how to do any other emoji on my computer..........

No more cotton

And that was my next question....the area that would be affected by such a change, I'm not familiar with the area at all.....

Enjoyed the video, I've never been to Bartlett so it was interesting the last section of the video talking about restructuring the dam to hold more water. Enough for another 350,00 homes.........crazy to think about all the water necessary to maintain the valley sprawl.

According to my nephew, it had pretty much melted off at his place so what you see is all new......crazy

Williams drop last night!😳

Is there any chance Californians will start migrating back to Cali

Not exactly rivers running just brutal!😩

I don’t see any l “little” fish😳😂😬😬

While we talk about all this moisture this is going on in Colorado...... https://www.kktv.com/2023/03/30/brush-fire-prompts-evacuations-park-county-neighborhood-thursday/

No pun intended but I'm in deep water over this because we cancelled a trip earlier this year!!!

Sickening......on the brighter side my brother got two more inches of snow in Tropic Utah last night so......more water...........
