Probably not the only person that thought it wasn’t good. Last few Arby’s commercials I’ve seen no mention of the burger.

The best socks I have found are the bass pro redhead brand. They are the real thick ones. Gray in color. I know a few years ago they were 9.99 a pair. With a lifetime guarantee. Not sure on price now. Only have had two pairs go bad on me and that was from a puppy getting ahold of them. The rest I still wear and I can barely tell the difference between the ones I got 9 years ago and the ones I got 5 years ago. And for quite a few years pretty much wore them year round. And comfortable enough to not have to wear a liner. Googled the socks after posting this. The socks are 11.99 a pair now. 81% wool 17% stretch nylon 2% spandex.

Sounds like you have the Jan. archery tag for javelina. If that's the case your not stuck only hunting pigs in 32. With that tag you can hunt 28, 29, 30a ,30b ,31 and 32. All those units are open for OTC deer in January to. Though 29 is only open for deer from the 1st to the 15th of January. Lots of good opportunities to hunt both species in all those units. I have the same tag and will be chasing pigs and deer to. Good luck.

I would recommend a revolver platform for self defense. Main reason is if you want it for self defense and actually have to use it, all you have to remember is pull the trigger. I agree on the Ruger SP101. I have the 4 inch barrel. I am 5'6 and it's very comfortable for me to shoot. I shoot 38's when I am plinking and carry 357's in it when I am out and about.

Was able to harvest my turkey this year. Kind of got lucky. Turned out to be a pretty good day though. Had been seeing a lot of turkeys over the last couple weeks. Once turkey opened I really hadn't been able to get out and hunt except for Sunday a little. On Monday was heading out to work on some fence and as we were heading up had a group of turkeys cross in front of us. At first we were just watching them and then it hit that oh ya I have a tag. Got my shotgun out and it was unloaded. So loaded it up. Turkeys were still just slowly working their way up the hill. Got to the base of the hill and waited for one to separate himself and then the hunt was over. Got a quick pic and then went back to the house and dressed him out. Then we headed back out to work. As I was finishing up my day walking a stretch of fence to see what it needed done for repairs I was able to find this decent but older coues set. Then got to finish the day with this view. So not a bad day at the office.

I am pretty lucky and work on a ranch. Not a bad gig since I love hunting so much. Pretty much always in the woods.

Thanks everybody. Just got in to turkey hunting the last few years. This was my second bird. My first was a fall turkey also. Hoping to get drawn this spring and take part in that excitement.

Got a couple more bucks on my cams this past weekend. This camera is about a mile from where I got the pic of the buck that is under the topic Decent Buck.If you look close there is another deer behind the antlers of the buck in the first pic.

Got out Sunday and braved the rain and checked a few cams I had out. A bear knocked one off to the side where it just took pics of the ground and had a smaller coues buck and some does on my second one. Rain started coming in and was almost going to turn around and head back down the mountain but I am glad I went on. Had it set up to try and catch a nice bull I have seen up there but got this guy instead.

I still have the one camera out and moved two others hopefully I can get some more pics of him for you to compare.

Thanks everybody. Ya was pretty stoked when I scrolled through the pics. I set that camera just on a whim after I saw that bull in the area. I knew there were some bucks in the area but didn't know he was there. I set the cameras up to see what else was up there for me and my brothers Oct tags. I never got up there for the archery hunt kind of kicking myself a little now. Had a plan on another area but now I think plans are a changing.

Got hit for a coues tag either early or late 27 and I know I got a 27 turkey tag since I only put in for the one hunt. And for charges to your account it would be 265.00 for a sheep tag 34.75 for a deer tag and 18.00 for a turkey tag because that is what you owe the Game and Fish for your tag that you draw minus the 7.50 processing fee you were charged when you put in for your hunts.

Thank you for the info Kent. Appreciate it.

I have a question on the fee structure that is proposed. It has probably been answered in one of the topics already so I apologize if this is beating a dead horse. But does the new premium fee include archery deer hunts during December and January? And if they don't I am glad but if they do would we buy a OTC deer tag for August and September and then have to purchase a stamp for Dec and Jan if we wanted to hunt those months like we do for waterfowl? Just askin.

Redman: I know you did not make the rules. But first because we all know how forum talk can be misinterpreted I am not attacking Redman.He is just paraphrasing what is on the AZGFD's website. What I am saying is that lets change the rules. I know I am not going to get back my points. What I want is somebody else to not have to be in my position or that of those that were denied there points. What I want is that the next guy doesn't have to go through what I and others are going through. Just because rules are made does not mean they are right. This country was founded on and has survived by the changing of rules.That is why we vote. The people are the real voice in this matter. When we are asked we answer. Right or wrong we answer. That is all I am asking for, to consider changing the way points are given out a tiny bit.

I was one of the unlucky people that had the card rejected. When I called the Game and Fish it was a pretty tough blow when I heard that my card was rejected. One because that meant that I would have had a tag if my bank would have somehow let me know that they were sending me a new card. Two because the hunts I had put in for were 27 early archery bull and 27 early muzzleloader bull. And three because now I am heading in to next years draw with one less bonus point then I went in with this year. I am not saying I deserve a tag because I was the one that put in online so I accept that there are risks when putting in online. And it's not AZGFD's fault that my card was rejected. But what I would like is to at least keep my loyalty point as I did try and put in for elk this year and by some weird turn of events my card was compromised a couple days before the draw and my bank didn't let me know. So I had no idea my card was bad until I called my bank the second day cards were getting charged and found out that it was shut off. I could accept not getting a tag and even not getting my bonus point for this years draw but it really stinks that I put in and put in my $7.50 and now I get two less points next year for elk. And now I won't get another loyalty point until I put in for another five years. Sorry if I sound like a crybaby but I really hope that something can be done. I don't expect to get my points back that I lost this year, but I do hope that something will change so someone else will not be sitting in the same seat that I am. I do believe that if it your card was declined for insufficient funds then that is on you and would therefore would not be a valid application, but if it was declined for any other reason then there needs to be some kind of safety net. Especially if they keep offering online applications without charging full fees up front. I understand that there is something that says they can't charge your card without providing a service. And now this is me showing my ignorance on the matter, but they do cash your check if you send it in. Right? Is it something to do with card vs check? If that is the case if they still want to do online apps could they add a payment method where they charge your bank account directly, it would be the same thing as sending them a check I believe. Please correct me if I am wrong. Jake

I am with chase. The crazy thing is some of my family had fraud stuff and were notified right away. Don't know if I just fell through the cracks or something. I am not putting any blame on them, I am glad they shut my card off so I don't lose any money. It just stinks that it had to happen this week of all weeks.I am just hoping I can still get a bonus point this year so its not a total loss.

I know what your feeling. Just found out this morning my card had been hacked friday and therefore shut off. Only reason I knew was cause the Bass Pro order I tried doing Tuesday night didn't go through. When it hadn't gone through this morning, cause I checked my account for G&F charges as soon as I woke up, I knew something was wrong. Called the bank and they told me the bad news. The one thing I am worried about is that I lost my bonus point for this year if my app got drawn and then my card was rejected. I am just hoping right now that I didn't get drawn at all and that way I will just get my point this year for my $7.50

Well I just got bad news. I have been checking my account about every hour or so since the hits started coming in and didn't have any charges. Long story short I ordered some ammo and gun cleaning stuff last night from Bass Pro Shops. This morning order from Bass Pro still hadn't gone through. Got worried called my bank. Card was compromised on the 14th of this month. I haven't tried buying anything since the 13th so had no idea it was shut down. But the good news is my new card is on its way and should be here in 5 to 7 business days. I did pull a hail mary and updated my payment info with my brothers card ,so who knows, probably won't work but its worth a shot. Lesson Learned: Double check payment info and make sure your card is still valid on the day that Game and Fish says it is the last day to update payment info.

A buddy of mine is selling his Mountain Hardware Ethereal bivy on trades and sales, payson. Its still like new, he used it once. He got a new bivy sac from a friend so now he's looking to get rid of this one. He's selling it for $150.

Just looked at the Hunt Arizona 2011 Edition: Survey, Harvest and Hunt Data for Big and Small Game: Bear Data I found: First column is the year, the second column is the number of bears harvested by hunters, and the third column is how many of those were harvested with the use of dogs. 2006 197 70 2007 217 40 2008 179 50 2009 239 57 2010 235 56
