Good luck finding your bear Capoeirajosh! Try calling this number 623-236-7201. It's a 24/7 Game and Fish line I believe. It is for reporting nuissance bears or injured animals. I called it this morning when it was 5am, and I knew the Game and Fish office was not open, and found the number by calling Op Game Thief and hearing this separate number on the recording. I saw a javelina get hit by a car, and was hoping I could tag it. But they said you have the be the driver that hits the javelina to tag it. Someone told me it's possible the driver of the car could have transferred their right to me, but by that point it was already too late and I didn't have a way to get ahold of him so I just had to let it go. But perhaps they would be able to advise you on the right direction on how to proceed. But also if they tell you, you can't pursue it, make sure they have the legal authority to tell you that and are following some statute, and aren't just telling you that b/c they have no idea and avoiding their own personal liability for telling you something they're not sure of. If it's the latter it is just wasting your time. Or they may tell you don't call that number for this specific purpose. If so, post it here so no one else calls it. :-) Thanks. But to me at this point it at least falls under the general category "injured animal" :-) So maybe they would know what legally you might be allowed to do and would tell you something helpful other than "Don't do anything" (read politically correct! Freeze and let's not do anything and just let the situation fester! LOL) If you go out tracking it, as long as it doesn't rain or hail you should still hopefully have a decent blood trail. Lonne

Is it the main road that goes from Camp Wood to Bagdad? If yes, I was on it a couple years ago, and it was pretty necessary to have a 4WD. If not the same road, ignore me

Sweet pics!

Beautiful bear!!!

Big Browns has some real glassing talent, that's for sure

Same here. Politician, or billionare, unlike the rest of us, whatever you want to call him, at least he is saying it like it is on some things...how can you not love the truth behind the following statement: "We’re so politically correct that we can’t move anymore." - Trump http://www.breitbart.com/video/2015/07/18/trump-common-core-way-of-taking-care-of-the-people-who-dont-give-a-dang-about-ed/

WOW

And our tax dollars funding it all. Ridiculous...

Now that is really funny. Had to Google it (my 2nd brain) to get it...

Nice job !!! Nice bear!!!

I have some Iranian friends that are fantastic people, so this is nothing against them. One jumps from planes, loves Israelis (defeats the incorrect stereotype), and another is a brilliant programmer. They're awesome and they love America. But why are we signing onto a deal with a leadership that hates Americans? http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/28/politics/iran-ayatollah-khamenei-twitter-obama-image/index.html I'm not a big fan of Obama, but enough said, he's President of the U.S. and dumb to sign onto this deal. Let's not forget the Iran Hostage crisis, Marines & Beirut, Hezbollah, the list goes on. This government killed and wants to kill plenty of our American people and Israelis who have already been at the hand of the Holocaust and has no shame in mentioning their hate for either. I'm with others that say we need to restore America to Greatness. And yes, you can ask why are we having this discussion here and let me have it (in other words lighten up in your response and take a chill pill, this is simply a discussion). LOL. But remember, this is the campfire, pull up a seat, if you drink grab a beer, and voice your mind. No discussion barred. This is the dumbest thing ever, we shouldn't cater to the government of Iran, and we should reject this deal outright. Get someone in office that knows what they are doing and quit trying to take our country into an abyss by making dumb deals like this when there are much more important things we need to focus on. I don't care if you are Democrat or Republican, call your Congressman and tell him to reject this deal. It's ridiculous and I can't even believe it got to the table We've got alot of work to restore this country to greatness so let's start now. If trying to make a deal with Iran doesn't tell us that, I don't know what does.

Those are all some pretty *big* bears

Oh, and this work more hours junk is a bunch of junk, for all Americans. For some it's good they can further their small or bigger business. Maybe it is good for all of us economy wise, but it sure doesn't help us to keep tabs on what's going on in the world and/or our country when we are busy making stuff happen at the office. Ie., wag the dag For the general public, the more hours we work, the more of a distraction it is of what's going on in the world and what we need to be concerned our kids our growing up with. If we are working all the time it's hard to keep track of that stuff for our kids and their future.

Korwin's books, if I recall, have some interesting info on this also. Hope it goes well

Friend of mine told me they encountered leeches in Arizona. I'll refrain mentioning the location to keep it wilderness, but it was somewhere near Payson not Saguaro. Are there any leeches in Arizona? Or just the flatworms like above? Or anything similar to leeches?

Super awesome pics

I've been lucky to go hunting with Adam a few times...he is quite a shooter and definitely doesn't like to miss! I think quite a few things have to go wrong for him to actually miss. Let's get him to go camping :-) LOL

Unbelievable he escaped again. But with all the tunnel building practice, and being the 14th richest person in the world, he's got alot of construction/mining or just plain resources at his disposal. How will our hunting be affected near the border and in Mexico?

Pretty crazy. I'd need new underwear for sure. Dumb question, more just curious. Are there any good well known documented attacks from hunters that were predator calling? Reading most of the bear attacks, mountain lion attacks, etc., and most are people camping, bears getting into garbage or ice chests, biking, dog-related or small children attacked by predators. I've read an occasional story about the victim, a hunter, who they've found dead with an unloaded handgun and presumably it was a bear attack.

This looks like a total blast!!!! I wish I was paying attention and knew about this sooner. Have a blast!!!

After my experience, I now use an electronic caller, and I sit on a small chair or I stand up with my back against a tree or rock etc, and the rifle rested on my shooting sticks when ever I go calling alone. After changing your tactics, do you experience the same success?

Waiting so ever patiently...saw another thread where someone said they started hitting cards last week...not mine :-( If I remember last time it was like 3-4 weeks of card hitting. I'm probably exagerrating...but it seemed forever!

Sweet! I went to Seward once for four days, didn't get to go bear hunting, and can only say wow four days is not enough time. Absolutely beautiful bear!!!

Required? No. A very good idea? Yes. I went one day as a kid with my dad, his friend, and his friend's son, and we didn't go back and finished the class. I was too little to know what was going on and to this day don' t know why we didn't finish it. I remember it seeming overwhelming at the time. Maybe I was 6, maybe I was 9, no idea. Lucky my dad is a Marine and taught me gun safety from day #1, so in the end I didn't need it. Anyway, there are already too many laws being created on a daily basis. We're just regulating because there are too many idiots ruining things for the rest of us. I'm not sure it should be required. Do I recommend taking your kids to one, definitely, yes! I've seen both your boys hunt Adam, and I was watching them carefully like a hawk! (I always watch anyone I've newly met with guns) They met my gun safety rules that day so I think you taught them very well. That said, they're your boys, you don't have to convince them of anything. Take them to hunter ed whether they want to go or not. Take them elk or deer hunting, and just pick for them if they can't decide. Don't give them too much of a choice. Kids are getting too much of that these days. Their thought processes aren't developed enough to decide all things on their own. They'll get plenty of that when they are older :-) The hunter ed class is packed full of good info for them, definitely suggest in person, no way online. The field day they should really enjoy. At least I know some of the instructors work hard to put together a fun field day. It also has its benefits besides just a hunter ed point. Other states that require hunter ed and recognize's Arizona's, for example. Lonne
