Okay. Thank you for cititng your sources. I did some research and came up with these numbers: Population of Mexico-103,263,388 in 2005(according to Wikipedia) In 2004 it was estimated that there were 10.3 million illegal immigrants living in the US. From 2000-2004 it was estimated that there was a net total of 450,000 new illegal immigrants arriving to the US each year. So we can assume 10.75 million illegal immigrants living in the US in 2005. The percentage of illegal immigrants by region and country(according to my sources) lists 57% of illegal immigrants being from Mexico which if we do the math 57% of 10,750,000 is 6,127,500. There is a huge difference between 57% and 90%. Which one do you believe???? I guess which ever one you want to....or makes your argument sound better. I think this just further proves that numbers are just that, numbers. The obvious is that there are a lot of illegals living in this country. We also happen to live close to Mexico and so that is what we mostly see. Ever been to Miami????? You pretty much have to be able to speak spanish there and if you speak with a Mexican accent they're going to look at you funny. Here are my sources: Bean, Frank D. and Gillian Stevens. 2003.

you shot a coyote ????????

Did you know that over 11% of everyone born in Mexico is living illegally in the US right now! Where did you get this number from???? You have mentioned it a few times but are yet to cite the source. You were quick to bash Jamaro for doing the same thing.

All posts so far seem to have good valid points. I agree that no matter what laws we have people will find ways to skirt around them, find loopholes or they will just plain ignore them....they do that now don't they??? The economy has slowed down somewhat and I think that will be the biggest factor in where people go. I was living in Argentina in 2001(yes legally ) when they had a huge economic crisis. The value of the Argentine peso was 1 to 1 with the US dollar before their economy crashed. I watched it fall virtually overnight to 3 to 1 and sometimes as bad as 4 to 1. It fluctuated on a daily basis. In Argentina there were a ton of Peruvians living there illegally and they were nannies, house cleaners, landscapers etc and it worked out very good for them because they converted their Argentine pesos to US dollars and then into "soles," the Peruvian currency, and it worked out very favorably for them. They would then send most of it back to Peru, just like a lot of illegals here do. After their economy crashed and the value of the Argentine peso fell it was no longer worth it to them to work in Argentina. Almost all of them went back to Peru because they no longer had a reason to be there. They will follow the jobs and if there aren't any then there won't be any reason to stay. The economy is already slowing down and I think that is the main reason for people either going back or moving somewhere else.

When I was in a new department at an old job I had the guys liked to give me a hard time sometimes....kinda like the rookie treatment. It didn't bother me, it was always in good fun. The supervisor told me that it was if they didn't give you a hard time that you would need to worry. We do it because we like you

There was an article about that place in the EV Tribune a week or so ago and it looks really neat. I'm planning on taking my kids there one of these Saturdays.

numbers and percentages are both worthless....they can easily be manipulated to portray what ever it is you want to portray. The problem is out there all you have to do is drive down the road and look out your car window and it's obvious....I don't need some media outlet to try and tell me that there is a problem or how big it is. I don't think there's a clear cut easy solution either IMO.

I am selling my XD-40 that I purchased new in Fall 2006. It has had about 100 rounds through it and is in excellent condition. Comes with two 12 round magazines, speed loader, holster and 50 rounds. I am asking $400. Call Daryl at 480-458-7263 or PM me.

XD-40 has been sold. It was nice to meet you John. Good luck on your upcoming hunt.

Hmmmmmmm, where do I start???? The first one that pops into my mind is from this years hunt. After a very uneventful opening weekend we were back down there with a gameplan for Saturday of the second weekend. We had a spot that we planned on being well before shooting light that would give us a great chance at spotting deer. We were out on the trail to our spot plenty early. My dad was leading the way. We were planning on going up about 3/4 to the top of a hill and then from that point staying at that elevation and getting to the saddle on the other side. We started dropping down a little to get to the saddle and since I thought we hadn't gone far enough I said that I thought we should go a little further before we droped back down. Well, we went a little further and made it to the saddle. We crossed the saddle and started going up the other side. At this point the sun was just starting to shed light on the darkness and I thought to myself....." Since when does the sun rise in the West??????" At about that time we both realized what we had done. We did a complete 360 around the mountain and started heading up a hill that was right next to the truck. We were obviously both disgusted because we busted our butts to go almost nowhere and it was an area we didn't even want to be in. At this point it is very quickly going to be shooting light. I decide I'm going to get to the top of the hill we circled and glass the best I can from there. I hurry to an area where I can at least glass in the direction where I was planning on being. I get there as fast as I can to get set up before it gets to late. I made it in time to glass first light but in doing so I absolutely drench nyself in sweat. Needless to say I was freezing my butt off wearing a wet jacket and shirt. After a few hours I glass up three small bucks about 3/4 mile away. It just so happens that had I been in my originally planned spot I would've had a shot of about 300 yards. I made it to the next ridge over and couldn't find them again. They had fed over the ridge onto the other side where it was SUPER thick. I never did get a shot this year. The hunting was tough and the bucks were very few and far between. I messed up by not trusting where my dad was going and he should have shrugged me off when I doubted him. Even though we had not gone that route before he was right on course in the dark before I threw him off. I wish I had Casey's predicament . It still beats tag soup. There's plenty more.....but that's enough for now. I'm still young and I'll take this one as a learning experience.

nope, no ads popped up for me...just took me straight to the video and played it....no problems at all. You might want to check the settings on your computer and make sure all of your security/virus protection stuff is up to date.

It's a photobucket link and worked fine for me without any problems....you must have already had something else going on with your computer.

Clay, your dog reminds me of a poodle my aunt and uncle had. Her name was blondie and she looked exactly like your dog. That poor dog lost an eye in a fight with a german shepherd over a bone, got stepped on by a horse and one time(unintentionally of course) dropped off of the roof. She was mainly an inside dog. She was TINY, weighed probably 4-5 pounds. Pound for pound probably the toughest dog in the world. Blondie lived about 20 years.

Daryl - you are killing me man! My two favorite college teams are 1) ASU and 2) who ever is playing the UA. I know.....but I gotta be honest. I didn't even go to ASU so I can't claim to be too hardcore. Just born and raised here. Don't get me wrong, ASU is my team all the way. Actually I ran track at Central Arizona College back in 1999-2000 and when we ran down in Tucson we tore UofA up...made THEM look like the junior college . Go Vaqueros!!!!!!!

That's too funny . You are correct...UofA leads the all time series...we're just trying to close the gap. In all honesty I like to see any school from Arizona succeed because it still reflects good on us as a state no matter which of the teams it is. I just can't stand to lose to UofA in football which fortunately hasn't been too much of a problem lately. I remember when UofA hired Stoops I was worried thinking he was going to turn them around and make them for real. Looking back that obviously wasn't the case.....How has he not been fired yet???? You guys need to get him out of there if you want to change your football fortunes.

There is nothing that can be said to console wildcat fans.............the final score is the only thing that matters........ASU 20.....UofA 17.

silence from wildcat nation....................silence is golden.................im lovin it.

gave us the game?????? I thought you guys didn't like us!!!!!! That was awful nice of you.....tell those guys thank you for dropping the ball when it hit them in the hands Especially Cason when Carpenter hit him in the hands a few times. A win is a win period...especially when it comes to rivalries...I gaurantee you that if UofA had pulled it off us ASU fans would never hear the end of it from you........how we were "owned" or whatever . poor play on both sides of the ball????? sure, there were some ugly moments but did you see the catch by Mike Jones by the sideline or the grab by McGaha at the goal line????? Or Brent Miller's catch on 3rd down on ASU's last scoring drive???? nothing short of spectacular. I laughed so hard at Stoops out on the field crying like a little kid every time the review went ASU's way. Highlight reel catches for sure. You might as well look forward to basketball season cause that's all UofA has. I'm gonna enjoy watching the Holiday Bowl on December 27.

Well........we earned the bragging rights for another year so we might as well use them . That is correct 7 of the last 9. Nine straight years w/out a bowl game for UofA, longest streak in the Pac-10. It's just too bad we can't get any love from the pollsters......lose to Oregon in Autzen when they are at the top of their game and ranked #2 and lose to USC when they are healthy and playing great yet get ranked lower than all but one 2 loss team......what a joke. Also, I think Georgia got ripped off big time...they've been playing great lately yet didn't move up at all when Missouri and WV lost. Leap-frogged by LSU just because that's who the media wants to see in the championship game.

yeah...it probably would of helped us a little bit if dennis dixon missed the asu game too. as far as trash talkin im not sayin nothin cause its a rivalry game and anything can happen. the weathers probably gonna make it a little more interesting too. go devils!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great buck, congrats. It seems in vain all the hard work but I'd much rather be over-prepared than under-prepared anyday. Once again, congrats. Daryl

I saw the picture of that buck at Sportsmans and it is a great looking buck. Awesome mass, just really cool looking.

Gotta second the XD-40 vote. I bought one last year and love it. 12 rounds of 180 grain hollow points should be plenty . I never head south without it, and there's been times when I was really glad I had it.

Yah, You forgot a really BIG ONE Make of bow Welcome to the site Jason By the way! HuntnCoues is so full of Coues dudu that his hat turns brown after 3 minutes of wearing it. Watch out for that one Mike Where have you guys been the last few days????? Whatever you do don't bring up caliber choice
