Seen a post from Bearizona on tuesday that showed the cubs playing in a rain sprinkle. We camped up in williams this past weekend and sounds like we missed the first summer storm

does it come with a recipe? just kidding

your track pic made tracks and left from your post man. ha ha ha

the first rule of hunt club, is dont talk about hunt club

figured this was going to be a thread about tires..... or about the day after chili night at camp.... either way was i wrong. ha ha. EWWWWWWW.

underwear. ha ha 50 bucks, look at the cost savings of only needing one pair for the whole entire hunt! JUST KIDDING.

Maybe he needs to be on that "hoarders tv show"? lol I could run my mouth about different people holding out for one particular hunt... but i just got long winded in the "crash" thread in the campfire. In the end, its a lottery. Maybe it's all where they wanna place his/her bets.... just like the other species.

I think everyone just wants a reason to complain. lol. The deadline is the second tuesday of the month (february, june, and october). I have been neglectful and have put in on the last day, even trying to rush over before they pull the baskets back in the "paper only days" due to work, fundings, or whatever. I for one am thankful of the online system. It allows for a more flexible payment option. And at the same time, no system is flawless, although G&F seems to have more than its fair share. I put in online weeks ago just fine, maybe its the higher quality calendar i purchased in january that tells me when the second tuesdays are going to be. Put in early, if it doens't work, try again. A deadline is a deadline. Why are you so special that they should change the rules? I've missed out, but thats my own dang ol' fault. If you are going to wait until 6:59:30pm dont complain about how the system is crashing because the rest of the people are trying to ram rod their apps through too. I got two confirmations that my app went in. The first being that the last page told me it was succussfully submitted. The second confirmation i got was the CC usage alert from my bank for the online purchase. Would an email make it any better? The other gripe i have is the G&F dept is self sustaining. It is solely funded by tag fees and grants recieved. Of course they are going to charge, and charge more. Its a business. Moreover it is a open business. They have open commission meetings. And just a fair warning.... the second tuesday of october is less than 18 weeks away, be ready.

I got a large rectangular one form sportsmans wharehouse. (the mesa store has a stack of them behind the cash registwers next to the jrkey stand). They are rated for 0 degrees and have done me well on my hunts and camping trips. I can fit me and the dog curled up a my feet in the bottom of mine. ha ha. they run 54.99 and two zip togethor make a queen sized bed, for those trips with your wife. Ive been taught, "rating +20". so if the bag is rated down to 20 degrees, you can really only sleep comfortably down to 40 before the cold will take over. http://www.sportsmanswarehouse.com/sportsmans/TETON-Sports-Sportsmans-0-degree-Rectangle-Sleeping-Bag/productDetail/Rectangular-Bags/prod99990134257/cat100842 is a link to the bag

i put in on friday for deer and turkey for the four of my gang... no problems on either tag. There isnt a confirmation email, the confirmation comes in the "finish process" or what ever its called. the last screen is the confirmation and it gives you the chance to print it. I know it went through because i got the charge from my bank a minute or so after hitting ok on the g&F page

i was house sitting in san tan valley (so not too much light pollution), from where we were though we couldnt see any. My brother drove out to the desert on the edge of tucson and said he could see quite a bit

So after 4 months of dating a single mom, our schedules have lined up to take her kids camping. Her son has gotten to go before with their dad, but her daughter hasn't gone before. My own tradition is a trip in june to the area below young, via globe and the 188. This is going to be the third year for going up. Much to the dismay of Emily, and other people going, i picked a spot that wasn't close to water. (normal trips involve kayaking and fishing). I know on the bottom of the 288, we cross over the headwaters of roosevelt lake. Has anyone ever fished here before? are there good spots? I don't really have the desire to drive around the horn up to the actual access for the lake. The thought did cross my mind that we could stop in the day use area there and ry to fish for a little while on the way through to share hat with the kids. My nephew who is six lives to fish, so not only would i get to share the experience with the two new additional kids, but it would really make his day to try a new spt as well. Thanks everyone, it will be a great trip regardless. Propane fire ring and all, a pretend fire will still cook marshmaollws lol

I imagine this is what happens on most of my hunts to some extent or another.... Animals are a lo smarter than we think. A bear gives a fine "screw you" to the trail cam and takes a snack. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8WcOcZsi8A

could be worse.... could be 5700 shots of beef licking their nostrils and trying to see what the camera tastes like. lol

is it diamond point? (forest road 65) by the gate to the fire tower, over looking the Earnhart ranch off the 260? (unit 22n)

my card never got hit. i gave up weeks ago. Luckily for me, one of the guys got the way-late 22n bull tag. It may not be my hunt, but i will make sure i still get to go and help him with everybit of his that i can. Matt

Did you know the results are actually up now, ha ha Matty

there's nothing in the regulations that say when the results must be posted. The only stipulation is that the refund checks must be mailed out by a preset date. it is our own impatience that leads us to jump to conclusions of "when the results need to be out" by. "If this says the 18th, then the draw must be done and published by the ____". screw it. Christmas wont come any sooner knowing what we did or didnt get. Season isnt for 5 months anyways.Nobody here has the right to complain about the draw till after the checks get mailed just tired of all the griping.

Looks like a solid deal. Still up for grabs?

when is your trip? (just so i have a timeline)I picked one up from my neighbor last Christmas. I think.... it is still in the box even. What part of the state are you in? Oh wait.... better question, did you get drawn for elk? i may not be able to help at all. jk

i've never tried going ouT for bear. I would love to go for the expereince and see whats that like. Thanks for posting this and asking so many questions. I was curious too.

you providing the bber and a place to nap? whats the amount of rock to amount of free beer ratio?!?!

my friend works for southwest wildlife taxidermy in scottsdale. heres a link: http://www.swwildlife.com/index.php They have some pretty impressive pictures on the wesite. Everything from fish to exotics. check them out. I know Joe said they do alot of african work, so an import from canada shouldnt be that difficult. ha ha

Already got plans to atend. now we are debating if we can go for both days. One day with my niece and nephew and one day for my brother, brother in law, and i to actually go and look at everythng . ha ha this show is worth the wait.

might be a hard sale... not many people know where a used strap on has been.....
