    AZGF to ban salt/baiting

    how bout my cam picture of daytime feeding bucks? I guess they didn't get the memo. how about the 600 tags they give out and much of the activity that you see during scouting turns into bedding time. you act like a deer can't use its smarts and feel pressure and go into survival modes. this isn't about the disease it's about the tag #S!!! Most Master Baiters don't keep there feed up enough to make them change that drastically like you say....this isn't the mid west or east coast! why would there be so many pics of daytime bucks????? I bet I can go to where Average Joe was talking about seeing all the bait piles everywere and they are all gone now! They will start their pattern for the rut and be out of that area like they do every year! And with all the baiting those big bucks are still there! You don't like baiting and you probably don't bow hunt we get it! I never said the G&F was out to take our rights away but they sure are about # of tags sold without concern of mandatory reporting! Get over the next 4 years... you don't have a choice! The feds will slowly take away our rights 1 piece at a time and you can't stop them. And unless you can change the demographics we are screwed! your only hope is to offer amnesty to all the illegals and pander for their vote....... James

    AZGF to ban salt/baiting

    someday they will outlaw a method of take or a device and all the people that are against baiting will want support, but there will be none. when you say "police ourselves" what do you mean by that? what are you supposed to say, " Uh would you not put out that corn because a lot of people don't like it"? Most people do report violations when they see them. If it is legal then what is there to police? That makes no sense! If the law allows a method then by all means why can't we use that method??? I can see being discreet with the dressing of your animal or not leaving the carcass next to the camp or trailhead. Or cleaning up a bit before you go into town, washing the blood off your hands or changing your camo before going into McDonalds. Leaving a messy camp or throwin your blue mnts out the window.. (which I am constantly picking up) Those are the things that need policing, not the use of corn or baiting! they say it is about preventive disease spreading, but the data I have read doesn't support this. Even 1 of the e-mails sent back to a member said it had to do with the archery success rate increasing. I don't see how they know it is because of baiting, I must have missed that box on the comment card they sent to me. couldn't be because the population increases every year.... or technology advances... faster bows... or that people hunting are getting better at hunting, learning lessons every time mr. browtine gives you the slip. I mean dang, god forbid the % #s get to a whole 3% from archery kills. If the real # is even 3% This is a done deal.... we will never get this back! Remember when they want to outlaw another method or device..... remember where you stood on this! I read a quote this weekend from one of the representatives from one of anti groups that helped push the law in California banning dogs for bears and bobcats...... they said " We want to ban hunting all together " I don't think G$F wants to ban hunting... well maybe some of them do, but it does have a lot to do with $. this will not keep the disease out when deer migrate here from other states that do have it. I agree whole heartily with your last statement... we should stick TOGETHER! James

  14. western shovel nose. I had no idea there were so many "mildly venomous" snakes in az. besides rattlers and corral snakes which are very venomous. when I was a kid I would pick up all kinds as long as it wasn't a rattler or red on yellow! this website shows pictures of a wide variety of snakes in AZ. not sure about the info given on here whether it's been verified but cool pics. http://phoenix.about.com/od/arizonapicturesandphotos/ig/Arizona-Snakes/Arizona-Snakes-09.htm James

I know it is their right as an american, but that is plain stupid! not that it made a difference just thought I'd throw that out. I'll spare you my rant for now. I'm soooo disgusted and disappointed that I'm sick to my stomach! It's like someone said " I feel like I was punched in the gut " http://www.google.co...s/ed/us/results James

    Game over

    Depending on on your definition of small business this isn't quite accurate...Here's how it will work out and in the end it will be a much lower level of care for his voters: Employeers under 50 - There is no penalty for not offering healthcare under the new law so I project most will drop the coverage they currently offer their employees and force them to fend for themselves. This will push the masses into the state risk pools which will not have enough physicians, hospital and ancillary providers to cover the need thereby rationing of care by restriction access. The savings from not providing healthcare will then be used to pay the higher taxes assessed to the owner. So, small business survives average joe pays more for less coverage. Empoyeers 50 to ??? - There are penalties for employeers over 50 but they are lower than what these employers pay in preminums by a considerable amount - for my company approximately $100,000.00 less. So, from a business stand point you again discontinue the benefits and force the employees into the state risk pools and take the savings to pay the increased taxes. So again small business survives and average joe pays more for less coverage. This I'm sure was by design...makes a new and rather large portion of the population dependent on government securring the future of liberal governance. It's like all his policies - bait them with freebies on the front end but cost them more on the backend but in today's society who looks beyond the freebies. Employers with fewer than 50 employees are said to be exempt from new employer responsibility policies and don’t have to pay an assessment if their employees get tax credits through an Affordable Insurance Exchange. There are still unanswered questions, however, about if and how these exchanges will be established. at 2000 pages in the affordable healthcare act I'm sure they're will be lots of twists and turns to all of this with the us more polarized on big issues than I can remember.... maybe I just didn't pay attention.... this is leading us down a very scary road. with all the Hispanic vote turning into a liberal vote I don't see an end to this any time soon. they showed some #s this morning 75% dem vs. 25% rep. states like florida and georgia with an ever increasing hispanic population...... more free stuff please! sad day for at least 48% of us!

    Carmona for Senate

    if you search you will find good and bad on every candidate... here is my reason not to based on his failure to curb spending when he ran the hospital in Tucson. In a time when Government has grown to big for it's britches and the need to make tuff cuts, he has proven he cannot do that even when there is a crisis http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/10/25/dem-senate-candidates-mismanagement-of-hospital-forced-county-to-raise-taxes James
