Non-Typical Solutions

Lark, Didn't try to get to Big Lake this year, figured it was a wash. We went in at Beaverhead Lodge and got all the way in to Rocky Flats, not quite to Buffalo Crossing, got real scary lookin and I didn't want to spend all day gettin unstuck. As you can tell.....I didn't get drawn so yeah, the turkey hunt just got alot more important.....

Growing up in Southern NM, my dad hired wetbacks to work on the pig farm. Good hard working people. Then, mid 80's started having trucks stolen off the farm and things missing. I suppose it was illegal then, but we felt it was OK cause they were honest workers getting honest pay. They would come and work for 3 months, go home for a month and then come back for 3. Dad even went through the process with a couple of them to get them here legal and citizenship and all so they could stay on this side of the line. I went to school with their kids, rode the same bus played on the same football team, basketball. Most of the honest working workers that we had working there didn't care much for the riff raff that started coming across in the 80's. Just a few years back, my dad went to check on one of his unoccupied rental houses down there. Found a wetback in there stealing fixtures, luckily nobody got hurt. I feel really bad for the Krentz family, it is tough enough to try and make a living and then to get little to no support from the boundaries that encompass this country is unacceptable. If you think this health care business didn't just invite a whole new wave, you are drinking muddy water..... God Bless the Krentz family

Is that the pig hunt where you shoot the pigs following the corn tractor??? Amanda, this is the REAL RESULTS, not that other nonsense

No tags here either tommy, what you wanna do??? Looks like another coyote season huh???

Sorry, been up at Alpine trying to forget the whole thing. The one thing I paid attention to as Obama was talking, he kept saying Free!!! And I remembered one thing my daddy always told me......son there ain't no such thing as a FREE lunch..... Pay attention folks, my daddy was right..........................vote'em out in november and then again in three years and counting..............

Sorry for lack of details, been up at Alpine all week being really lazy. My wife just about collected the antlers on that bull, she came really close to hitting him that night. AZantlerhead......you gotta know where that big boy is bedding down every night.........

Found my first matching set of the season.....................still on the bull standing in the middle of the road last night driving through Nutrioso.................aggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

So, I do my taxes on turbo tax every year. We got our W-2 forms and shipped everything off e-file. Got a small return. Now two weeks later I get a K-1 Form 1041 because of inheritance money recieved after my folks passed away. Not a bunch but enough for uncle Sam to throw up a red flag. So, after waiting for 30 minutes on the IRS phone I got transfered to another line and waited another 15 minutes. At this point they told me how to amend my taxes, what forms I needed and that the deadline was still April 15. I have three years to submit my amend if I am getting money back, but I will be penalized if my amend is late after April 15 of this year. If I do get money back, which I won't, it could be 14-16 weeks before I would expect a refund. Wish my folks were back and they would have spent their money on themselves...........frustrated

I have observed enough ADHD to know that is clearly a case right there!!!!!!

Gamehauler, got to reading the fine print.......man that is just poetry???? "Politicians are like diapers. They need to be changed often,and for the same reason." Mark Twain Hey you goof offs.....the dang draw aint til next week, quit causing this same ADHD behavior......................

This is a good one off that site you posted Tam...... By Teddy Roosevelt There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all… The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic… There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

I felt the same way as I read through the document, looked like alot of snoopin around going on. I was upset when my wife who is so efficient had already filled it out and shipped it off cause I wanted to read a little more of the fine print and see what I "legally" had to fill out. Well, they know all about me and my family oh, wait, I pay taxes, work and am a legal citizen, they already have all that information because that is on my tax form. The only people they don't already know about is the people who are here illegally and aren't going to fill out the form in the first place. I did look it up in the dictionary and it reads, "the act of counting the people and evaluating their property for taxation" again, all of that information is on my tax forms, they know I need a babysitter, they know I spend $500.00 a year for educational purposes which by the way is a joke as well, wish I only spent $500.00 a year on educational purposes.........oh boy I could go on and on about this one....................like my insurance company wants to know how many wrecks I have been in......dang they know exactly what my record is.........ahhhhhggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Dad thought he had things pretty lined out and he did bless his heart. Didn't owe a dime on anything. What we are getting dinged for is money market accounts that he had active. Dinged is being kind. So it isn't like I am having to pull money out of my pocket to cover it, just using up all his money to pay for his money. What I mostly displeased with is the IRS service. They want my money now, but they can take their sweet time getting money back to me!!! Wetmule is correct as I have learned alot in the past few months with the passing of my folks. There is no incentive left to saving money for yourself or your posterity, it is going to Uncle Obama.

Apr 16 - May 20, 2010 (1) 1, 3C, 4A, 4B, 5A, 5B, 6A, 6B (except Camp Navajo), 7, 8, 10, 12A, 23, and 27 Bearded turkey

Just wondering if they are running the spring turkey OTC tags again this year??

I found it sorry........April 16-May 20 We had a great time last year.....thanks guys

It goes like this: If you are on one ridge, the antlers are on the other ridge If there is a cedar tree to either side of you, the antlers are on the other side If you hunted this same spot last year, you found several chalkies that a blind person could have found If your legs are tired and your back is hurtin, you still have two more ridges to cross to get to antlers If you are finding antlers at the bottom of the drainage, your truck is probably parked at the top If you are hunting with your wife, she found the antler you just walked past If you are hunting with your kid, he is claiming half of your zone If you are hunting with your neighbor, it ain't a secret honey hole no more If you are glassing antlers, they are a minimum of a mile away If you are looking for antlers while driving over the rim to Payson, might get lucky, but then again you might end up in the bar ditch. If you spend your time behind some stupid computer, somebody else is out ther finding the dang antlers Nice lookin batch of horns.

The good part is that he did not leave ATV tracks all over! That is a BIG + 1

Sorry to hear about the theivery that is a frustrating thing to deal with..............

Very nice Josh, I really like the scenes where all the sudden you see the end of that shotgun come into view and BAM. Pretty intense music backdrop as well. Looks like alot of fun. Be sure to keep us posted on the sales of your video. Can't have enough of those on the shelf. I especially like the AZ calling videos.........

We slayed a bunch of carp about 20 years ago, was one of the funnest things I have ever done. They were boiling and you could either practice shot placement or shoot the flock. We waded around in the shallows and really we could have shot all day long, looking at the water that long killed my eyes I should have worn sunglasses. Is there any special stamp or permit needed these days or just a hunt/fish license???

Prime time........

Thanks for posting the links, more wolf, more condor, we are getting ready for the big hurt here. Did I read that right 20 million???? Why don't we spend 20 million trying to help the homeless and needy right here in AZ.

I am sure you all have seen these but this one seemed pretty good. I haven't done the math to double check but sounds good enough to me.............. How many zeros in a billion? This is too true to be funny. The next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax money. A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of it's releases. A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959. B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive. C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.. D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet. E. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it. While this thought is still fresh in our brain... let's take a look at New Orleans .. It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division. Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D) is presently asking Congress for 250 BILLION DOLLARS to rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number... what does it mean? A. Well... if you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, and child) you each get $516,528. B. Or... if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787. C. Or... if you are a family of four... your family gets $2,066,012. Washington , D. C HELLO! Are all your calculators broken?? Building Permit Tax CDL License Tax Cigarette Tax Corporate Income Tax Dog License Tax Federal Income Tax (Fed) Federal Unemployment Tax (FU TA) Fishing License Tax Food License Tax Fuel Permit Tax Gasoline Tax Hunting License Tax Inheritance Tax Inventory Tax IRS Interest Charges (tax on top of tax) IRS Penalties (tax on top of tax) Liquor Tax Luxury Tax Marriage License Tax Medicare Tax Property Tax Real Estate Tax Service charge taxes Social Security Tax Road Usage Tax (Truckers) Sales Taxes Recreational Vehicle Tax School Tax State Income Tax State Unemployment Tax (SUTA) Telephone Federal Excise Tax Telephone Federal Universal Service Fee Tax Telephone Federal, State and Local Surcharge Tax Telephone Minimum Usage Surcharge Tax Telephone Recurring and Non-recurring Charges Tax Telephone State and Local Tax Telephone Usage Charge Tax Utility Tax Vehicle License Registration Tax Vehicle Sales Tax Watercraft Registration Tax Well Permit Tax Workers Compensation Tax (And to think, we left British Rule to avoid so many taxes) STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY? Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago... and our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt... We had the largest middle class in the world... and Mom stayed home to raise the kids. What happened? Can you spell 'politicians!' And I still have to press '1' for English. I hope this goes around the U S A at least 100 times!

What number are you on DB....... Eeyore: My balloon? My birthday balloon? Red. My favorite color. How big was it? Piglet: About as big as m-m-m-me. Eeyore: My favorite size eeyore.bmp eeyorepaint.bmp
