    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.

    Another Payson Question

    Way back in the 60s it was the place everyone went swimming. I know the tonto is almost a trickle now compared to then because the brush and vegetation has grown from suppressing fires.The spot on the Verde was close to the highway where it turns west. Lost some skin and blood on those rocks swinging on the rope with too many guys at the same time.
  18. Across the highway from the Baptist church to the elevated 3d target. But not on Sunday.

    The Trail Cam Celebration

    With all the posts here and the much longer CAPAZ thread, its clear very few are undecided. All for or all against. With commissioner Davis removing any fee increase I think some middle ground should be considered. Would the pro raffle tag group debate items like limited CAPAZ participation on the committee, other ways to raise $ to keep the # of raffle tags low, cap on resident and nonresident entries, no Utah expo events, quality of raffle tags, creating a survey on the portal accounts, guarantee no auction tags in the future and orther points of interest to both sides? Just trying to be real.
