I only know my 50, and everyone I know has a 50. Sorry, I know it doesnt help you I just stuck with what we knew worked.

Wow, great elk, video, and hunt. Congrats. Just when I was going into elk overload this pumped it all up again. Thanks.

I knew it! He touched the pigs butt! Wasnt there a fireman in the east valley that did that to sheep? LAKE HAVASU CITY, AZ - State health officials plan to test the remains of a wild pig that attacked a Lake Havasu City-area man . Arizona Game and Fish wildlife manager Suzanne Ehret says the pig was captured and euthanized. Ehret tells the Today's News-Herald incident investigations determined the animal was provoked and "the victim actually touched the pig on its hindquarters" resulting in the pig turning around and attacking. Ehret says the individual was gored and may have been exposed to the pig's saliva. Because of that, the animal has to be tested for rabies. Meanwhile, the victim is said to be recovering after the weekend attack.

Bet it sobered him up real fast! Friends probly ran off and left him too!

Those commercials make me laugh soooo hard! Jeenyus they are.

That will make you run!

I think there is a little more to this. Junior was going to catch it or ride it. Bet its scary when they walk on their back legs at you!

Way to stick with it. Many would not have, feel good about that anyways.

Nice! I have never faced the issue but have thought it over many times and would like to think I would call it done at one. Like said above I got my animal just couldnt find it. But who is really going to post on here that they would keep wacking animals until they found one?

That is some gorgeous country. Thanks for the story.

Bear? Or man?

CJ's are still a bunch cheaper, Troopers will suprise you on how well they do. My Dad had a Bronco II and it was sketchy. I have an old Wagoneer and at around 6000# it dont trailer anywhere, but it wheels with the best of them.

You are having a great year, good luck!

So any one heading up to Unit 22 next week for turkey season? All the chatter has been about those lucky ones who are elk hunting. I'm heading up on my very first turkey hunt and am more excited than I thought I would be. I guess it all feels the same as a hunt gets closer. Havent put a plan together yet, just starting where I have seen them before. Plenty of water and thick stuff so they will have a fighting chance. I might try the trick where you fall asleep under a tree and when you wake up there they are, works on deer too. Good luck to all you fellow turkey stalkers and if you see a silver Dakota with a CW sticker, dont honk, I'm sleeping!

I thought it was the Health Reform Bill the way it was worded, sorry. (You caught the tater)

From the Game & Fish website: Mule Deer Areas: Mule deer numbers in Unit 23 are at currently at low levels compared to long term averages. The past several years’ drought is primarily responsible for this condition, but recent normal range precipitation seem to be helping the mule deer in 23 bounce back. Mule deer inhabit virtually all habitat types in the unit. The southern and lower elevation areas provide mule deer hunting along the A-Cross road (Forest Road 60) and the Cherry Creek road (Forest Road 203). The northern and higher elevation areas north of Young to scout are the Naegelin Rim/Canyon area and the Valentine Ridge/Canyon area. Portions of Unit 23 in the Canyon Creek area were burned in the Rodeo-Chediski Fire and will have an impact on mule deer populations there. Access: Access is widely available via State Routes 260 and 288 and the complex of Forest Service roads. Some Forest service road closures in the northern part of the Unit exist during December through March to protect roads from damage during snow and rain. Check with the Tonto National Forest during these times. Be aware that if accessing Unit 23 by crossing Tonto Creek in Tonto Basin, that Tonto Creek is subject to temporary flooding and isolating travelers. The same warning holds true for crossing Cherry, Coon, and Salome Creeks. Smaller side drainages can also block travel for extended periods. The early archery hunt will generally have hot, summer-like temperatures with moderate to cool nights. Late archery hunters can see rain, snow, or clear/cold weather. Tips: As with most big game hunting, peak mule deer activity periods are early morning and late evening. Be in your hunting area during these times. Hunters who get out and work the areas on foot are usually more successful than those hunters who stay close to roads. Utilize your binoculars and cover hillsides carefully before moving on. Nice way to web hunt....blah blah blah...honeyholes....dont steal my cameras...get out there and hike...

Dang it, I agree with all of it! You are my new spokesman.

Very cool. I never thought of using the wheelbarrow to attract them, I was using it for corn!

a weapon on a military base.....who'd a thunk it? My first thought! I didnt know that carrying weapons was limited there.

Some interesting stuff. I WILL own a Jackalope one day!

Well it was a great opening morning for dove season. We saw lots of birds and had a blast. We tried something totaly new to us. Skipped all the agricultural areas and hit the desert. Not the same volume but man it was still good shooting. The planets lined up and was able to get my son and daughter to come out which was worth it alone. Anyone thinking about this shoud try it. Water is they key and they realy didnt start flying until about an hour after sunrise. You could sleep in. They were still coming in at 9 when we left but dang it was getting hot and I had my fill. I amazed everyone with my shootins skills this year. Dang birds were so close they were hitting my gun and thowing my aim off.. Just couldnt adjust to this today (old dog new tricks). (no pictures, thats how I roll) Hope eveyone had as much luck and fun!

I'm with you on this one. This is the apart time that makes me love her more!

Congrats, a deer is a deer is a deer. Now the bar is set!

It will be fixed tomorrow. Looks like I will get out if town late to go help my buddies on there elk hunts. I feel bad I just got that sticker a few days ago.? Broke the $500 window but dang it that sticker was brand spankin new!

maybe....if I was a freakin' commie. But funny because it would sure slow the problem down!
