Big Tub

AND THIS AIN'T NO BULL!???

Using your kid as bait? Congrats!

Now I see why he did not shoot on the 'attack:. AMAZING!

Congrats! Man, your dad is looking old! I bet it is your fault or perhaps your sister!

I'm not so sure that Del is that out of line, albeit maybe not tactful. In Tucson and in Phoenix, I do believe it is illegal to feed wildlife. I know that on Saguaro East, G&F did a scat survey on coyotes and 80% was dog food. When javelina and coyotes become acclimated to humans from feeding, they become dangerous, not to mention that the higher concentration of prey can bring in the mountain lions. The title on your post indicated these javelina were being fed dog food, which really isn't a good idea. I did a search on the G&F website and found: Q: Should I feed wildlife? A: Wildlife encounters around your home can be enjoyable, but at times may be cause for concern. Many Arizona residents feed wildlife, including birds, because we want to see them around our homes. When done properly, feeding can be the source of much interest and enjoyment. Keep in mind that feeding small wild animals can have unintended consequences, such as attracting rodents or larger predators. There are also certain animals that should never be fed because they can become a nuisance or even a threat to human safety, such as bears, coyotes and javelina. These animals, when fed, become comfortable with humans and may become aggressive. If this happens, the animal must be removed at great expense and with dire consequences for the animal. Aggressive animals are often either killed or relocated, and relocation results in very low survival rates. In fact, you can often do these animals a favor by going out of your way to make them uncomfortable. If they keep their natural fear of people, they are less likely to become a nuisance and more likely to live a longer life. In 2006, the Arizona Legislature passed a “no feeding wildlife” law, making it illegal to feed wildlife (except birds and tree squirrels) in Pima and Maricopa counties. Tree squirrels are generally those found in the mountains, such as Abert’s and Arizona tree squirrels. Squirrels in the low deserts of Phoenix and Tucson are generally ground squirrels, including Harris’ antelope squirrels, round-tailed ground squirrels and rock squirrels. If wildlife feeding in your neighborhood is causing large animals to become bold, please contact your local Game and Fish office.

Are they a Matthews dealer?

I wouldn't count on Doug or anyone from Cameraland reading this.

I hear you got to meet my hippie friend. Very Nice gun. You really ought to take it out th the 3 Points shoot this weekend.

ground squirrel?

You don't even get to see a buck down at the Desert Museum here in Tucson or a gobbler. Must be some kind of gender issue!

So did anybody ever claim the arrows?

Most of the interpretation of laws is under "what a reasonable person would interpret the law to be" at least in all the cases I've been involved in. Just my 1/2 cent worth. In my experience the interpretation of laws is pretty much up to the officer that has his ticket book out ... G&F have been very consistent with "NO" on this interpretation of only 1 permit-tag except if there are multiple draws. As I mentioned on some of the other outdoor sites: it is a good time to move on getting this changed -- the commission is welcoming lots of new rules right now.

Billy G the vet on here? His wife Karen loves to collect skulls and would know.

Is that Mark Bool the same one that had the desert sheep several years ago? If so, I used to work with him. Who is he paying off? 22 points and counting. I also see Stu Handcock on there. Congrats to him. Sure are lots of stories represented here that I would like to hear. And speaking of stories: 28 and 20 days of hunting in 12/13 with no harvest, there has to be some stories there!

We have 2 of the 2000's. They are awesome, quiet, and reliable. I doubt you will find them used. I bought mine used from a guy selling a trailer my bro-in-law bought. I didn't save all that much. I found out afterwards that I could get them at the local Honda shop (Musselman's) just as cheap as the internet. But I got all kinds of instruction there: Like don't leave the gas in it and how to start it. If you don't need the quiet or light weight, that deal above is a smoking deal! I like the 2000's because you can lift them without breaking your back.

I hear they don't quite know what to do if you chase them. Get the video camera out and see if you can swat one on the rump?

Check out who has been doing the Governor's tags. I can't remember the one guy but the other I think was Chris Harlow. Let us know if this is correct. BTW: you can't be talking this kind of smack unless you have max bonus points. I do and have been waiting 30 years!

whatever gets your rocks off.

If you didn't get license numbers and turn them in, shame on you -- it's just piss'in and moaning.

Does that include lodging and food? What does one have to do to cross the border with the guns and then back across with the bird?

So are black tail protected and does anybody else eat deer fat?

I just watched that and had some questions: 1. What kind of rattler did he kill: I'd be a little nervous about some of those mountains species, especially on film when an ID mistake could cost you lots of money. 2. Putting deer fat around the heart to cook it???? I've always been told that deer fat is putrid and to cut it all out. Can't say I have ever tried it?

K9: Bob does put on a good lunch out there!

After reading through this post, I wonder if it is meant to come across that you are less of a sportsman if you do not process your own game? I have had good service with Jon at WPG II.

You may want to try some of the fancy stock gunsmiths. I picked up a synthetic for $20 years ago. They love the adl's and put the fancy thumbholes on them (Lawson's in Tucson).
