From what I read, the opposition was to the motorized vehicles that were brought into the wilderness areas and the that it was all done without any public input, not to the actual water catchments. There are not supposed to be any motorized vehicles in a designated wilderness area. Does seem funny that they would sue to have them removeded though. Wouldn't it take more vehicles to get the drinkers out, not to mention that it (the lawsuite) will be a huge waste of time and money that could have been spent on better things. Just goes to show what these groups are all about. They rarley, if ever, actually spend any time or money on actual projects but mostly just try to keep Americans off public land.

Speaking of water catchments, there is one in unit 22, in the desert, that I have been watching since early spring. Last week, it was nearly dry. This week, it is overflowing. I didn't see any tire tracks there, so I don't think anyone filled it up. Did they get that much rain along the Beeline last week? I agree with Coosefan. We probably shouldn't be hunting the deer in some units in the hot months. Let's give them a break from what is already a struggle to survive.

Another odd thing is that Antelope usually do not move at night.

I've NEVER heard of an Antelope in unit 22.

AWESOME! The bad news is, you are going to have every outfitter in the state calling you at all hours! HAHA!

You are right about the antler growth. It sucks. I have 200+ pics since May and none of the bucks are worth the price a of tag. Seems to be alot of does ready to burst though. Hopefully the fawns have a good survival rate.

If we do not recruit more kids into hunting and fishing, we are going to lose it all at the ballot box. That is a given. My point is, this conference is just another brain storming event to come with more ideas like moving the Sept elk tags into Nov, moving the Coues tags out of December, and issuing more and more tags, despite what current herd numbers are. And our own G&F commissioner is the president of the group! If this doesn't cement the fact that these new 2 year guidelines are going to implemented, no matter what the public input is, your head is in the sand. Bobbyo is correct. They have these new catch phrases about recruitment, retainment and removing barriers to hunting, but they never hesitate to raise the prices, no matter what sort of barrier that might create.

So how is trying to find ways to get the youth engaged in hunting and fishing, and looking down the road 30 years and still have hunting and fishing a bad thing? It's not, obviously, but where have we heard this before - "Hunter and Angler Recruitment and Retention" is the theme for the annual conference of the Western Association of Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA)

SWEET! Great buck. A pedstal mount is on my list.

I believe Toyota is coming out with an oil burner in 2009. They already sell a turbo diesel model of their smaller trucks overseas, but not here. I don't think it can pass emmissions in the US.

This one is taunting you.

They were part of a crime when they stepped over the border.

Didn't the voters of AZ pass a proposition that required all state workers to turn in suspected Illegals when they applied for aid? I believe they did and Nappy refused to enforce it. The sad thing is, the criminals are making it 100x harder on the ones that want to come here the legal way.

Cool! Is that a mineral lick or grain? Never heard of pigs attracted to salt before.

Wouldn't that be called..... ASHES?

Don't ever take anything I say serious. I could care less what anyone drives. If I could, I would ride a mule to work. Work sucks, I'm bored and it's hot!

My Toyota was built in Tennessee. My wifes Ford was Built in Mexico.

That makes me furious. One thing though. If I were the investigator, I would not have made this public. I would got a couple of those IR game cams and set them up over the carcus. Couldn't hurt. Maybe the dingleberry comes back for the head in a few days and you can plaster his picture all over the papers, news, and internet.

Or maybe they just won't draw any of their names? Saves them a lot of trouble that way.

Translation - ME SO HORN-AY. ME LUB YOU LONG TIME.

The best warranty you can get on a Dodge, Ford or Chevy is to sell it and buy a Toyota.

Well, the drought is really taking it's toll on the desert mule deer antler growth. At least where I am hanging my cameras at. I usually get some bomber desert muley pics by now, but everything is stunted and weird so far this year. They are pounding the water right now, as you expect.
