Caught some really nice bass in Gila below Painted Rock in the 80's.

Suspect the perimeter of Painted Rock reservoir is paved with snakes displaced by rising water.

SRP has released a lot of water out of Stewart Mountain dam for at least a couple weeks. Surprised that a good flush would promote algae growth.

Colorado through Cataract Canyon should run big this year. Crazy rafters! This is what it looks like @ 70K cfs:

Easy enough to monitor lake levels and inflows on the Colorado river: http://www.water-data.com/

Recommend 3" Federal #5 shot turkey loads, consistently good in various shotguns. Good luck on your sons hunt.

Lots of data points scattered about the SRP watersheds but at the end of the day it's somewhat of a crap shoot trying to balance safety vs a 100% full reservoir. Apparently there is still a substantial amount of snowpack yet to melt, SRP currently releasing 10,400 cfs from Bartlett and 1,270 cfs from Stewart Mtn. SRP hydrologists are earning their keep this spring.

Big Sandy ran 40K cfs into Alamo overnight. Verde running 25K + with more to come. Black river running 6500 cfs above confluence with Whiteriver. The melt is on!

Burn fuel, boot leather, search for rut rubbed trees.

Water release from Bartlet dam has been raised to 800 cfs today. Salt river bed won't be dry for long.

Congratulations on an outstanding bull!

You scored a really nice optic at a great price.

Concerning image brightness, BTX needs a minimum of 95 mm to compete with a 65 mm twin tube. There is a reason Swaro came out with the 115 mm module post BTX introduction.

Texas has landowner permits too. https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/game_management/pronghorn/permits.phtml#:~:text=All applications must be submitted,Permits under the Permits tab.

A commenter from Fox News website pretty much nailed it: Cho Biden I think Cho ought to review his oath of office.

How much ice at Nelson?

Long term registration (5 years) is available in AZ counties that do not require auto emission testing.

Fixed power eyepieces generally have a larger field of view @ their given magnification. Often, the "sweet spot" is slightly larger. I own a 663 Prominar scope with a 30X wide eyepiece. Nice scope but does not have Fluorite lenses. My 663 with lens caps in place + an Outdoorsman's adapter on it weighs a shade under 3#.

Roosevelt up 12' since mid November.

Abandoned rope swing?

Carl's is very good, so is Casey's. I would not hesitate to use either. No experience with Millers.

A friend of mine arrowed a bear that was feeding on maggots on a very ripe beef carcass. Bear had at least three arrows in it i.e. "gut shot". I skinned in out for him, nastiest carcass I've ever dealt with. Maggots (dead and alive) everywhere. I've got a reasonably strong stomach but that was a rough one. We boned out the carcass and packed it out. He kept offering me meat, telling me how great it was, I declined. Eventually, I did try some and it was very good. Other than salmon bears in AK, no ethical reason not to keep bear meat.
