1. Yes, I have. 2. If he took the time to put out 80 salts, he and his clients have the right to hunt over 80 salts. Do the work, get the reward. 3. If I hauled the water to that spot, then yeah, dam right I am going to hunt it. And yup, I am going to be pissed if some other dude shows up and plops down a blind. I really don’t get all the bitching. If one guy can put out 80 of these things why don’t other people just put out their own? There is nothing that special about salt and a camera. Several people on this site have done this hunt successfully without mooching off another man’s work.

I mean, we could talk about all kinds of people who live off the work of other people without ever accomplishing anything for themselves. I just figured we’d leave it in hunting terms.

So if I roll up on a camp with no one in it, am I welcome to grab a drink from the cooler and jump in the sleeping bag?

Anyone with any kind of courtesy doesn’t sit someone else’s salt. That’s some low, lazy BS. If this was a whitetail and that happened, they would be roasted. The fact that Chad is trying to profit off the work of another man’s back is stealing plain and simple and it tells me everything I need to know about his character. Zac didn’t need to stay there. He didn’t need to confront that asshole. That should have been Russ. It should have started and finished with the paid professionals who started and prolong this dick measuring contest. The hunter’s were just pawns in their childish rivalry. But that could have gotten real ugly, real fast.

Shockingly Heffelfinger follows the same logic that Newberg and Rinella do that somehow miraculously influencers have no impact on hunting pressure or opportunity loss. Ironically he was plastering pictures all over Instagram from the Meateater and Newberg Christmas parties. Nice to know that our PR dollars are being put to good use.

I listened. I really like Matt’s point about social media leading to hemorrhoids. Seriosuly though, a lot of good points out there. I find it baffling how these influencers refuse to acknowledge that their productions lead to hunter crowding and loss of opportunity. I also didn’t realize previously that Pitman Robinson dollars were spent by adjacencies on advertising. That makes me want to throw up.

1. Private property rights end at the property line. 2. I don’t think anyone is contesting property rights. What is being contested is the rights to the wildlife on the property. If the owners of the ranch don’t want hunters on their ranch, that’s fine and it seems AZGFD is willing to accommodate that. Owning the dirt or the grazing rights doesn’t entitle anyone to the wildlife. 3. I didn’t see anyone propose saying what they could do on their land. However, there are plenty of laws about what we can and can’t do on our own property. The government tells me when I can have a fire, how tall my house can be, where I can put it on my lot, etc. All because my choices, even on my property, impact many other people. This isn’t any different. 4. There are lots of people working on corner crossing right now.

Man what a buck!

I heard Matt is going to be on the ME podcast this week to debate the merits of social media with Steve. I am interested to hear both sides, and am hopeful that he has free reign to speak on the podcast. Sometimes Steve gets a little full of himself on there so it will be interesting to see the dynamic.

I’ve seen a few conversations on the Wyoming case. But corner crossing laws vary state by state. I was wondering if anyone has experience specific to AZ.

Does anyone have experience with corner crossing in AZ? I wonder if there is existing case law on it here?

Congrats! That’s awesome.

Really the only thing that matters here.

No, my old lady would never. But she all of a sudden is excited about Snowflake winning B2B

I get it. Ashley gets excited about this too. Its kind of weird to me because I will forever despise Highland High School and I will never celebrate them winning a championship. I am sometimes happy for individuals that I know having success there, despite their affiliation with my rival. That being said, I am a Fitzmagic fan, since we grew up playing against each other. Plus its cool to be able to say I sacked an NFL QB. Not a cheapo group sack either, I ran him down from behind on a bootleg. Probably the most athletic achievement of my life. Which is why I washed out in HS.

Now you are touting the accomplishments of your former rivals? My how times have changed.

He’s a wildcat. Not so good at the reading…

Don’t look now… Devils are 3-0 since Dustin’s prediction. Wins over Oregon, GCU and Creighton.

What’s your training in Thom?

Where is the gun at? I need to run down to AW this week or next anyway.

This is absurd. Having 3X as much data will certainly provide more reliable statistical information because the margin of error is much reduced. The only way it wouldn’t is if more people lied on their survey than already do not return a survey. The probability of which makes it statistically irrelevant.

Maybe, maybe not. Time will tell how accurate their extrapolations from the source data was. But my basic level of statistical training tells me that the more data points we start with the lower the margin of error and thus the more reliable the data is.

So what did they say about the Big Bo? Is it being sold? Changing its policy? Did Jimmy John buy all the access?
