    Anyone know the family washed away in Tonto Basin?

    You missed the point. Intent has everything to do with it. If your intent is to do harm, then you should be held accountable. Sometimes you don't intend for something to go bad and it does and sometimes you have to pay for those actions. All I am saying is he already paid for his mistake 3 times over. I don't want my tax dollars spent to punish him more.

    I am really shocked at some of the responses here. The dad is the one that decided to cross. He made a horrible mistake and 3 kids died. He will live with that choice every day of his life. Why would we punish him more? Lets spend our efforts putting away the people that abuse kids.

    Effects of the virus scare?

    A couple weeks back my sister and her family came over for a bbq. A few days later my wife got sick, then 1 by 1 we all got really sick. All the symptoms seemed to line up, but none of us were bad enough to get tested. Im on day 10 and just now starting to feel better. For us it was just like a bad cold that lasted a long time. My bil got tested, they told him it was too late to be conclusive, but they think he had it. I am not allowed back at work until I have been symptom free for 14 days. The worst part for us is trying to explain to our 5yo why he can't go to school or see his friends. The school here is really cool though. Every day his teacher and friends post videos online to communicate. The perks of living in the woods. If it wasnt for all the media bs... I would have taken a few sick days and life would be normal.

    Irony

    Sadly if the parents don't care, they don't care. I doubt this long summer break changes anything.

    Lots of the recreation areas are closed, but you can still fish the lakes.

    WTB SAVAGE 7MM MAG. Please delete!

    https://www.reedssports.com/catalog/product/view/id/257818/s/thompson-center-compass-rifle-7mm-rem-22in-blued-10076-090161447912/category/26/ Bought one of these for my dad. We shopped around and after the rebate it was only $224 and included a vortex scope. If you shop around you might find a better deal. It shoots 180gr bergers really well and 160gr accubonds under an inch.

    Toppled a couple more fawn killers

    At the time I didn't have a kid and I worked 4-10's. I pretty much spent every fri and sometimes the whole weekend out calling. I could drive my quad right from the house and go call. Back then I had an fx3 now I have a firestorm. The numbers aren't insane, the amount of time I put into calling was.

    Toppled a couple more fawn killers

    Thats interesting. I only use a shotgun and my kill ratio tripled when I got a foxpro. Maybe I just suck at calling. I kept a log book for 5 years and recorded every stand. Do you weigh your kills? My biggest coyotes were 48lbs and 47lbs I killed them on back to back stands down by Sunazona. My average was about 25lb. Now that I live up north I don't call near as much. I use to average about 25 foxes and 40 or more coyotes a year. Now I am luck to kill a couple.

    Belgian commercial Mauser action $260 Tucson

    These are solid actions. I bought one in a pawn shop in tucson almost 20 years ago. Picked it up for $40 because it was missing the floor plate. Its one of my best shooting guns.

    Salt and Verde River Lakes are filling up

    https://paddling.com/paddle/trips/verde-river-az-thru-paddle-2/ You have probably seen it, but this was a pretty good read. We plan to do the whole river, but we are doing it in sections

    Salt and Verde River Lakes are filling up

    Have you done the verde before? We cancelled our trip last year due to all the water. This year we are doing the headwaters to Camp Verde in late April.
