I did a little snorkeling and spearfishing with a Hawaiian sling right off the rocks on Rocky Point. It took all day and a horrible sunburn but I ended up with a bunch of triggers. They turned out to be some of the best fish I'd ever had. We caught a few on light tackle in the surf but it's pretty hard rod and reel until you get out there with your mask and learn how they move. Once you do, squid on a weighted bobber as the water is pulling out, you can get good at hooking them. Just use a small circle hook.

I've hunted that area for antelope. I saw a few elk tracks, but never saw an actual elk. Obviously they are there at certain times, but they move a lot. IMO, one of the hardest obstacles is access. There's a ton of good country in there but lots of private and tribal land to navigate. I would recommend ONX maps and a sidearm + boot knife, neck knife, ankle gun... when you get in there you'll know what I mean.

IMO, there's 4 categories of hunters where law infraction is involved. 1. The folks who are ardently aware of all the laws all the time and live their entire lives hunting and fishing without ever breaking or bending ANY of them. 2. The folks who are in the category 1 that find themselves unknowingly breaking the law because of a lack of awareness and inadvertently break a law without intent. 3. The folks who knowingly bend the rules some times in regards to bag limits, boundaries, looking for technicalities in the law to achieve what they are after. 4: The ones who are blatant, repeat offenders who think anything they do is OK so long as they aren't caught. Poaching is a part of their lifestyle and they are never going to change. Personally I've lived in the first category all my life, until I fell into #2. I've never made that a secret - made it public here, but it still haunts me. Just my $.02

Did you mean "too bad", English teacher?

Yeah, and that media is owned by people with a clear agenda - and they are pulling out all the stops. People say "it's going to get worse before it gets better" and they are right, but we're not talking about the same thing.

^^^ That's an awesome photo. "Hey hon, could you keep an eye on my left tire?"

Nothing new here. I've been a social isolationist since way before it was cool. Pickin' up sheds, learning new spots, gonna chase turkeys. Working on the jeep project. I figure I'll just let the rest of the world panic while I go about life as usual - and that doesn't mean any contact with others - whether 'at risk' or not. The sad part is I've not been able to go to lunch with my parents for weeks now, because they are in the higher risk category. Getting out and hiking, fishing, scouting - all very healthy and good for our well being and none of those put others at risk if you're not in contact with others.

To, too and two - There, their and they're, the list goes on, 'I seen', using an apostrophe for plural (i seen too cat's with there tale's bobbed). We should start a new thread just for stringing together grammar faux-pas. To the OP, sorry this got derailed and thanks for the heads-up. Doubt you'll get your money back, but maybe someone else won't get burned.

WOW, this pandemic is at 300+ deaths across the country. How huge is that? That's 323 people out of a population of 329 MILLION people. Meaning so far, you're more likely to win the lotto, get struck by lightning and die of bee stings on the same day. Just kidding, that't my own stat. But the real stat is this - less than 1 person out of every 1 million people in the US have died so far, and of those who have were mostly in the category of being susceptible to dying from the normal flu, or just about anything else. Yet businesses are shutting down and laying off all their workers. Unemployment rates went through the roof. All of our 401K and other retirement savings took a massive nose dive. People in their late 60's and 70's finally able to retire, just watched their life savings evaporate. All schools, restaurants, bars - everything shut down. Not to mention we've all been wiping with cactus and eating gravel, pine cones and various animal scat since the outbreak. I know, when you do the math, 0.00009817629179331308 is a really scary number! At those odds we may as well just all suck on a tailpipe. Get a grip people.

Actually, depending on perspective, that could be completely reversed.

Here's hoping for a full and speedy recovery!

Meanwhile...I'm booking a flight to Cabo and all-inclusive stay. Some fishing, some empty beaches, when it's my time to go then it's my time. 26th wedding anniversary for pennies on the dollar.

You check with they guy wearing them yet?

Biden can't get the moderate/centrist left vote. Bernie was scary for a while because he got a lot of young voters thinking he was gonna give them a lot of free stuff, get rid of their college debt, etc. Crazy Joe doesn't even know what state he's in. His moments of lucidity have him getting into bar fights with the locals - at his best. LOL.
-
Biggest hoax ever perpetuated. It's a test to see how people react when given something to be scared of in turbulent times. The results are scary.
-
I think it's hilarious that he's probably going to get the nomination. I can't imagine anyone easier for Trump to steamroll in November.

The great thing about tag soup is, you get to go out there, hunt it like you had the tag and learn a little more as a hunter. Find someone who has the tag, help he/she out and it's almost like you had your own tag. Gotta look at the positive side of things.
-
Sweet setup. I'm going to build my own this spring, but bump for a lot of attention to detail. Somebody's gonna have fun with it.
-
Here's the important thing, yeah, we know it isn't going anywhere but 12 out of 13 Democratic Senators either sponsored or endorsed this bill. That means 12 people need to get voted out of their office in their districts. Only by voting these guys out can we send the clearest message. If you endorse or support these bills, we will remove you from office.

It's a warm snow, we've got 3-ish in the cold spots, and melting fast.

Yeah, I've been saying this for decades, they couldn't get it more wrong. I'm a software engineer. The G&F application process would make perfect material for aspiring software developers of exactly what not to do. It's literally one of the worst public facing apps I've ever seen. Ironically, some state schools are just as bad, if not worse.
-
I really think this is one of those "throw it up on the wall and see what sticks" measures. It smells of Bloomberg just seeing exactly how a state like AZ with some of the lightest gun ownership laws would respond to some of the most draconian bills would respond. This is your red flag folks. They are coming, and it won't be a Bill Clinton assault rifle ban with a built-in 10 sunset provision, or grandfather clause for existing weapons. I think it's going nowhere, and will be shut down before it gets any traction, but the writing is on the wall. This is what they want - they want you to register, turn over or make in-operable your guns. And they are going to be persistent. I'm buying more AR lowers, high cap magazines, and bulk ammo. Mine will be inoperable when the barrel melts. Then they can have it.

Prayers sent - hope it all goes smoothly.
