    Where was this?

    Yea I think your right it was Slims dad's place. I've turkey hunted on the Q ranch,elk hunted above Indian Gardens and bear hunted Ellison crk. I elk hunted and saw the three graves and heard the story that they were taking them to Prescott and got drunk and figured they would save themselves a long ride and strung them up that night. I liked the story in the book about how tough and mean the pack burros were. They are the only animal besides man that commits rape.

    Where was this?

    I've read that same book. Colonel Ellison had a ranch west of Tonto Crk, now Ellison crk subdivision. He met out some vigilante justice back in those days and the powers back in Washington held up statehood because of it and the pleasant valley war. I'm not sure but I think Brady Ellison from Globe is a descendant and he killed a bear when he was 11 yrs old.

    Major winter storm to hit high country

    The big one was in 67 for sure. Shoveling roofs for a lot of $ at that time in Payson. When they plowed the hwy through town there was a wall of snow in the middle you couldn't see over. Broke the roof in the new Gym. They had to airlift hay for cattle out on the ranches. I was 15 then.

    Teacher fired for giving ZEROS

    If you keep defending your child's bad behavior you'll end up paying an attorney to do the same.

    Elk hide tanning advice

    I would call around to local taxidermist shops for prices. I have done a deer and a couple fox. Thin skinned animals can be fleshed yourself but elk are so thick the tannery has fleshing machines for that. I haven't sent anything directly to a tannery but they might be able to tell you how to ship it frozen.

    Female Lions

    http://www.sfw.net/data/Deer-Predator-Drought-2012.pdf. Add fire suppression causing thick brush making it easier for predators to stalk deer. The one thing for certain is the 600 mule deer tags for unit 22 is not adjusted for any decrease in the deer population.

    Hopi Cow Hunt

    You had the forest service green truck with the quad in the back? I saw you coming and going in off the hwy a few times. That was probably me you heard shooting opening morning. I was glassing for my grandson and of course, they ran from him to me. Didn't hear a lot of shooting during the hunt. We saw that tornado funnel that afternoon, couldn't believe what we were seeing.

    Crossbows?

    A friend has the Ravin and I've seen him shoot it. It is a 100-yard crossbow no doubt.
