  1. I believe the only reason that Reid and McCain support the bill is because they can use it to combat the Pro-Gun crowd during elections. They can now claim they support hunting and only want to ban the "bad guns."

     

    Reid is leading the fight to keep conservative judges from being approved. Some have been waiting for 4 years! McCain, well, he's just a liberal trapped in a convservative state.


  2. Tommy,

     

    I think it's just still a little early for the crappie.  Usually picks up shortly after mid-April.  The real question is what was the water temp?  We have only had a few hot days around here, I think the water is still cold.

     

    I am hoping to go out to San Carlos Lake in the next couple weeks.  If I have any luck, I will let you know. 

     

    Also, I have heard from some people that have fished SC this spring, that the bite has been terrible in the morning and much better after 4 pm.

    Well, Roosevelt is 3x as big as it was last year, so it will probably take a little longer to warm up than usual. Plus, a lot of cold mountain water is still pouring into the Salt arm of the lake.


  3. Remember about a month ago when they were asking for input on increasing the Coues deer tags in units 23 and 6A? Most all of you were in favor of adding the October hunts to these units. That's probably 400-500 tags right there alone.

     

    Elk are increasing by leaps and bounds. I have no problem adding more tags. I would not be surprised if those tag numbers that were quoted at the top of this thread include a big increase in the limited Opp. hunts. I doubt if you see a big increase in bull tags in units like 1,27,9 & 10.

     

    Antelope? That is puzzling that that they would increase those tags. Hopefully it is mostly the lower success rate archery tags that are increased.

    Mexican Military on Standby in Response to Minutemen

     

    Mexico's President Vicente Fox is preparing to respond militarily to a group of U.S volunteers who plan to patrol the U.S.-Mexican border starting tomorrow, positioning more than a thousand troops nearby, according to an Arizona TV station.

     

    "The Mexican military is on standby," reports NBC's Tucson affiliate KVOA. "One unit has about a thousand soldiers. They're located just across the border."

     

    Over the last week spokesmen for the border patrol volunteers, who dub themselves Minutemen, have said they will not attempt to detain Mexican illegals, but rather report them to the Border Patrol and track them till they're apprehended.

    Despite the assurances, Mexican officials met with the mayor of Douglas, Ariz., on Tuesday to discuss how they will handle potential violence, KVOA said.

     

    Last week President Fox warned at a Mexico City press conference:

     

    "We totally reject the idea of these migrant-hunting groups. We will use the law, international law and even U.S. law to make sure these types of groups, which are a minority, will not have any opportunity to progress."

  5. That is a buch of crap! I used to use goolge as my search engine.

     

    When I was shopping for my range finder I looked it up at Cabelas.com and then tried to look it up at Bass pro shops but I could not find it. I went to google and typed in redhead.com thinking honestly that was the address......BOY was I wrong!

     

     

     

     

    :P

     

     

     

    And now redhead.com is your home page?


  6. No freaking way! The beauty of the central AZ units is that there are no Oct/November hunts.

     

    Maybe if they only had one 4 day hunt and rotated it on a yearly basis through several different units, (22,23,24), it might not be so bad, but I would still be reluctant. Deer numbers are near all time lows and they want to add more hunts?
