I mainly e-scout and send PM's. LOL But seriously. I try to scout all year and have some favorite places to hunt that typically hold deer. With so many back to back hunts in some units it makes it tougher to scout leading up to a particular hunt.

I did it when I was 16, mandatory in NY. It is also mandatory in Colorado I believe for anyone born after 1949. Both my kids accompanied me on hunts from the time they were about 4 and when they asked to hunt does on the Kaibab they went through Hunter Ed in Gilbert which was evening classes. Maybe four or six. It was fun and they enjoyed it. Especially my daughter because she got a higher score than me. When they are ready to drive are you just going to throw them some keys? If you let them skate and circumvent the rules now they will think they can do it for everything else in life and you will be "potentially" picking up after them until they are in their 40's. They need to earn it and understand fail and reward. G&F needs to have a lot more of these classes and make it easier for people to attend them. Kids and adults really get a lot out of these classes, way more than one parent can teach their kids, because the mere nature of being in an interactive environment with two or three instructors and thirty other people is years of knowledge crammed into a few weeks. Your a good guy Adam and I know you love your kids but you have your work cut out for you to bring them around and show them the value in it and explain that this is just they way it is and ask them just how bad they want it. Everyone fears failure, that is just human nature. When they want it bad enough they will settle down and come around but do not fall into their trap, which is hard when you love your kids so much. You're on the right path, but in the end the choice is up to them. This class should not be an online class that can be taken willie nillie by kids or someone else.

Word was it was a kill.

Ever been to Cameron LA? Nope, the furthest west I've been was Cocodrie. I spend most of my time on the water between Cut Off and Grand Isle.

I do a lot of fishing in the gulf and in and around the marshes in Louisiana. My personal preference is a shirt with a collar 90% of the time usually with underarmour shirt underneath it. I lift each shirt up off the rack in the store and it is usually the lighter the shirt the more expensive it is. I try to buy on sales and off season so I'm not paying $50 for a shirt all the time. For days when the temps are under 70 and overcast I wear my CWT long sleeve shirt.

If you hunt near the Arizona Trail here is a helpful sheet of water sources. http://www.fredgaudetphotography.com/aztrail/watercurrent.pdf http://www.fredgaudetphotography.com/aztrail/waterhist.pdf

LOL

Differs each year but it should begin around July 20 or so. Leftover first come tags are available August 3 and tags from the draw get mailed out by August 7th.

I figured this would happen again so I took care of it a couple of weeks ago. No more waiting until the last minute for me anymore since they are only dinging me $13 a pop.

No cubs around? I had a big one charge my truck last year when I was coming off the rez into Eagle Creek. I was glad to be driving and not walking.

2.5 pounds is on the light side for a hunting rig.

Big Medicine.

That pond is loaded with Gila Top Minnows.

Yeah Buddy. Blue Gills in WCL

I have seen a few Bass in there and last year there were schools of 1-2" bluegill.

I guess you haven't see this. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1053810/

They do pretty well in ponds too. I netted a bunch of green ones with a seine in the lower salt river back around 2002. Maybe Petco or Petsmart will take them or you can offer them up on the Arizona Tropical Fish Hobbyists Facebook Page.

^^^ That's a young Boatailed Grackle. Females stay that shade of brown.

Black-throated Gray Warbler? Beak looks more like a finch though.

Not sure when this hunt is but I have hunted 6A twice in late November and we had rough weather for a few days both time which made the roads pretty soupy. One year we had two days straight of thunderstorms which brought rain and snow and fog lowering visibility to 50 yards.

I can see the Caitlin Jenner commercial. "I don't always drink Corona, but when I do I drink Corona Light". Stay thirsty my friends.

That's just wrong. LOL

I've spent some time camping in Honeymoon and got to talk a to younger kid who was working on 4Drag a few years ago and told me he had a firearm stolen from his vehicle and said he was pretty sure that it was the work of a couple of guys he knew that were always up to no good. Sad to thing even out there people can't be trusted.

The Inflation Calculator I found online came up with $11.83 http://www.usinflationcalculator.com/
