Such a a simple solution - GO BACK TO PAPER ONLY!!

shedhunteraz- if your wife seen camp fire - that should have been a 911 call you cant fix stupid as far as people thinking - hey I can have a fire if I want- stiff fines and jail time to think about it!!

same thing google-- slide rock fire for link - I still cant post links

here ya go - sparks from an rv fire google sunset point fire today 2 pm I cant post link ??

Joey- there is one other opinion on easy hunting - from a guy who grew up here you look to be a young man meaning mid 20's maybe 30 Next time you go out - try using what a lot of us used when we were your age here in Az. usually the 3 popular where guns - 30-30 - 308 - 30-06 obviously many others were used- some had scopes - all lot didn't Optics - a 4 power tasco/ bushnell - maybe a set of 7x35 bino's most of us used a metal boyscout backpack- caring a metal canteen or bodabag for the days hunt 2 wheel drive truck but probably a car -90% of all roads were dirt ,once you were 10 miles from downtown phx- just getting out and back in one piece was one of the biggest challenges hunting items included a good knife - a small tent - flashlight - coleman lantern- icechest- piece of rope - sleeping bag or canvas tarp- poncho it, it usually was the tent for the night away from the car or just in case it did rain I'm sure everyone may have used other things - some more- some less next time you go hunting out here try hunting without all modern advantages that make your hunting - really rather easy

sitting on top of a hill on a rock in 80+ degrees or on a rock/wooden bench in a snow storm - both hurt my asss- both can be uncomfortable as heck --- one kinda burns - well so does the other after frostbite . yes there are extreme's related to both kinds of hunting. Anyone who doesn't think hunting has changed over the yrs - isn't really hunting you hunt depending on the conditions - here we got no choice - most western style /places its 90% open country/ state land - lots of spots but most I know put out trail cameras and try to attract deer to a given area or spot too- whats the difference most eastern is private and limited access - it's a different world than we know - sitting a tank or sitting a food plot not much difference - look at all the tree stands here around tanks - you can bet money if huge walled blinds were legal in our national forests - we'd see and use them here too!! Lets all just be happy we can still hunt. As far as these shows - if they upset you - why in the heck are you watching them ! I find most entertaining - some are good and some aren't -

A GAZELK

like most have stated young female - but worth a tag

. big males move a lot and have a wide range as soon as one notices no other lion around - due to scent trails /piles territory markings etc - they will be next in line move in and take over . you can believe that other lions will take up the hunt. yep miss read it - my bad - yes removing all of them

If I was a dedicated sheep hunter and lived closer to Tucson - lion / predator hunting in the newly released herd area would most likely be at the top of my lion /predator hunting locations! what have local predator groups done to help ?

" I wasn't blowing in your ear", but did it do anything for you? they had planned for a swim at the ole water hole but it appears to be a little dry this yr.

too bad the court couldn't order an investigation into the outfitters iilegal activities - if he's doing it in Mexico 9-10 he's doing it here too! contact the IRS- I'll wager nothing was ever claimed as income either !

a shooter buck " fer sure" try locating a camera on the rocks so it'll get some better frontal pics as he drinks - just a thought

Congrats on your goulds. Not to sound too negative but 3 tags in 5 yrs - It isn't really luck or the odds - it's the system It's kinda hard to take, when lots of people would love the chance and here you got 3- congrats agin I'd like someone to explain how the draw system keeps spitting out your name ,when there is only 6 tags a yr and you got maybe 2 -3 points Congrats agin on your success harvesting (3) of the rarer turkeys here in AZ.

I've never used over 100 gr and stick to 295 powerbelts- some times I use the round balls as they actually fly flatter and faster but do not do well in fast twist barrels we use this setup on piggys and it general punches a big hole thru them there are numerous loads available if the set-up you use is accurate do not change it. 150 grains of anything kicks like a mule and some get a little gun shy and jerk heres a ballistic chart that may help you decide w http://www.powerbeltbullets.com/Ballistics.php

kinda hard to hide the water barrels when you got white feeder tubs in plain site glass them up from miles away

It's only a matter of time before someone is attacked and killed by one or more of these wolves- they are not afraid of humans. our history showed that they were very dangerous and they were killed- hunted down- destroyed - wiped out for a reason. a reintroduction in areas where they will have close contact with people whom won't be able to escape or even know what happened is almost a guarantee-most will be totally unaware of any danger. It may be on your next vacation- summer time outing - camping or even sitting at a lake fishing enjoy your family outing and take that nature walk - watch your children out picking flowers in a meadow with out a care in the world . a silent deadly killer is watching and waiting I pray it never happens but we all know its coming.

The Arizona Game and Fish Commission voted unanimously today to support an alternative developed by 28 cooperating agencies and stakeholders for the non-essential population rule that governs Mexican wolf conservation in Arizona and New Mexico. The proposal, which has an unprecedented level of stakeholder support, is being submitted to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) for consideration in its Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). While still conceptual, the alternative is scientifically-based and would further cooperation between federal and state agencies and stakeholders to achieve a self-sustaining wolf population. Key elements of the alternative include: ##Allowing up to triple the target number of Mexican wolves in the Southwest from the 1982 recovery plans goal of not less than 100 wolves to achieve a self-sustaining population. ##Major expansion of the area where wolves can be released to include the Secondary Recovery Zone. ##Expansion of the area where Mexican wolves can disperse and establish territories. ##Establishment of a connectivity corridor for wolves to disperse to the species core historical range in Mexico. ##Recognition of the importance of Mexico as a primary element to successful Mexican wolf recovery. The biggest impediment to the Mexican wolf reintroduction effort in the Southwest isnt biologically-based. Its social tolerance for an apex predator on todays modern landscape that must support such a wide variety of conservation, recreation and economic uses. This alternative represents the first time such a broad-based group has come together for Mexican wolf conservation, and it goes a long ways to enhancing social tolerance and, in turn, successful conservation of the species, says J.W. Harris, chairman of the Arizona Game and Fish Commission. The alternative provides concepts that stakeholders want the Service to evaluate as it prepares the draft EIS that will eventually be opened to broad public review and comment.

Something like -- it came into my camp - I felt threatened by its behavior - it endangering myself and the lives of my family - period

maybe we should have a new category for trail camera photo's - weirdest / strangest thing - well - at least I'd have one to post- came across this as I went thru thousands of photos not sure what it is - any guesses ?

rifle - muzzy - archery it's not size that matters its shot placement- period even the biggest baddest most powerful around - doesn't work like its suppose to if its not in the right spot seen bulls drop from a 243- they stood for a few seconds - didn't even know they was dyin seen them run away with 3 - 300 win mags rounds in 'm and not even slow down

the only thing I see - that might be a deer is what looks to be an antler - just up from the bottom center of photo in the little light green bush

girls shoot better - i hope you take this in the humor its intended but - i can't make out a thing - lol even after clicking on enlarge you might want to invest in a better camera !

sent u a pm- great tag - was my first choice

nearly ever creek / riverbed /wash will likely have a spot that will hold water first/last- its tricky finding them we always try to find the wet spots and give the animals a break by rearranging the flow - so to speak that way if rain does come or water does seep in- it will provide a new water source / even though it may be limited for the animals to use even the quail will scratch to make holes to drink - that's the spots I look for - lol nice job lance
