I fu**ing hate the government and its over reaching laws... I haven't placed a camera out in years, but they have no right to tell me I cannot photograph animals

Leftover tags is a "game to play", the list is getting shorter and shorter and one must realize they could be skunked for a season. I was for one season and it sucked. For me, I would rather hunt than not- if I was to hold out for a strip tag, I wouldn't be able to walk by the time I drew one. A late Dec WT is awesome, I had one last year, I find the true advantage for a late Dec tag is MUCH few hunters in the field- problem is last year it rained (very hard) and snowed during the days I had off so it was a bit of a downer. I can't take 15 days off work for the whole hunt- still had a great time but the weather sucked. My third choice this year was a unit that had left over tags (1st and 2nd was a "trophy hunt") I drew a tag and I am as happy as can be. My third choice will always be a 30 something tag- rather hunt than not. Good luck to all!

cant wait until Friday.... hopefully bear down!

Anybody have a portable generator with a remote start? How does the remote start work (cold weather)? Need at least 3000 watt for the travel trailer- portable as I will need to lug it or eventually mount it. Honda's are probably the best, but also over $2K Champion 3100w - I had the non-remote start and was very happy with it. Probably get the model with remote. <$800 Firman? Liflan? Others? Appreciate any insight. Thanks

Thermacel! I can see a zone of bugs around me. I am one that gets bit skeeters 10x more than others.... my wife and I can be standing outside next to each other and I will get 4-5 bites and she gets none.

wanted to give an update on this topic, I ended up getting the Champion 3100W with remote. I have taken it on two camping trips (5 and 4 days each) and I absolutely love it. The remote start is so convenient, yeah starting a generator is not hard, but for my wife or kids it can be. I have left the "on switch- on" for almost the entire time and it started every time, I was worried the battery would go dead (and the remote start not work) thus far it has not. It can still be started with the pull start. It will push the microwave OR the A/C (not booth at the same time). Its not loud - or noticeably louder than my friends Honda. I would recommend it any day of the week.

the game and fish website gives multiple good starting areas, you can find a specific area from there.. its not a difficult unit to find a place - plenty of country.

beauty is in the eye of the TAG holder... Nice bull, in some units I would shoot him opening morning, other units I would pass - but there are some many other reasons to shoot or not. It all matters what the tag holder wants to do.

interesting topic, thanks to those that have shared how they watch TV without traditional satellite or cable. I have been thinking of the same, but love the NFL Sunday ticket... plus where i live the internet is not that fast (yet) I use Comcast (used to use Centrylink).

That is a great deal. It should be gone today

3/4 in groups at 100 yds? sorry read the rest of the paragraph. Nice looking rifle.

I have these also and previously owned two pairs of Kenetreks- I would take these any day!

Good luck everyone. Enjoy the process, savior the waiting period and dream big! Most of all enjoy the time in the field. You never know when it will be taken away from you or a loved one.

none in New Mexico now, but some in Wyoming. http://www.hunterstrailhead.com/index.php?ID=356&XID=242:356:0:0:0

really enjoyed reading your story and the pictures. congrats and thanks for sharing.

Does any know where there is a schedule of 3D archery shoots over the summer in AZ? Thanks!

I have had that happen up here in Mesa at Usery. Probably would have shot in it if I would have known...

no charges for me.... but I was planing on turning in my tag to get my points back (friend has an elk tag in AZ and will hunt with him).

This is an outstanding young man! Plus a good hunter, but an awesome athlete. http://www.tucsonnewsnow.com/story/35322596/facing-failure

Wow somebody is uptight, I bet your friends plane wasn't delayed... they just were like "sparky is mad, lets just miss this next flight".

terrible -

Nice to hear from you Sundevil especially since UA has kicked ASU butt in every sporting event.. LOL Southwest is the best of the worst. Canceling a flight due mechanic problems - how dare they. The 4 United crew members that "had to board" for another flight.... which was the next day.... could have drove- it is a 4 hours drive

I am glad this event happen, hopefully the airlines will be forced to change their practices. Thankfully I am A-List Preferred and fly Southwest every opportunity possible. I have flown United, American and Delta a couple of times this year.... the last 3 are terrible. United screwed me on a connecting flight in San Fran... Anybody siding with the airline hasn't been burned by them... I know a family with smaller kids that had their entire flight home from Cancun canceled - and they where told the next flight wouldn't be for 3 days later... this was while they where at the airport.

Thanks for all the replies. I have pretty much settled on the Champion with the remote start. I had a great experience with the model without remote start. https://www.amazon.com/Champion-Power-Equipment-75537i-Generator/dp/B00JZQUSAC
