WOW= Nice Sheds- I 2 would wear gloves to handle those ... Thanks for sharing! I'm headed out next weekend to scout, I can only hope for something that nice! AzP&Y

Mark, It's a haul, but worth the drive. White Mountain Apache Reservation- Reservation Lake. You can read the reports, but it's rated as excellent right now. I've never gone there and not caught fish. The state record BROWN TROUT (22 lb. 14.5 oz. 36.0 in.) came from this lake. It's truely majestic with a backdrop of Mt. Baldy. I know they are doing some road construction on the roads up there .. So you may want to check that out prior to your departure. Reservation lake is at 9000 ft , so the mornings will be a nice retreat from the sweltering desert temps the past few days. They also rent boats at the Reservation Lake store, in case you want to really enjoy the fishing. If you don't fly-fish this is the place to learn (start). Good Luck and Tight LINES! <(((((((< http://wmatoutdoors.org/fishingreport1.shtml An easier lake on the res that has nice fish is Horshoe Cienega and Little bear (good 2nd choices)... AzP&Y

REAL BIG CAT - he has the look of death- thanks for posting littlebear! AzP&Y

http://www.washingtontimes.com/national/20...21814-2527r.htm U.S. Border Patrol agents seeking to secure the nation's border in some of the country's most pristine national forests are being targeted by illegal aliens, who are using intentionally set fires to burn agents out of observation posts and patrol routes. The wildfires have destroyed valuable natural and cultural resources in the National Forest System and pose an ongoing threat to visitors, residents and responding firefighters, according to federal law-enforcement authorities and others. In the Coronado National Forest in Arizona, with 60 miles of land along the U.S.-Mexico border, U.S. Forest Service firefighters sent in to battle fires or clear wild-land fire areas are required to be escorted by armed law-enforcement officers. Armed smugglers of aliens and drugs have walked through the middle of active firefighting operations, the authorities said. The Border Patrol's Tucson, Ariz., sector, which encompasses most of the Coronado National Forest, has the highest incidence of cross-border violators in the nation. Nearly 500,000 illegal aliens were apprehended last year -- more than 30,000 a month. In addition, nearly 100,000 pounds of marijuana, with a street value of $200 million, was seized as it was hauled through the Coronado National Forest. Last month, the Border Patrol -- in a single operation targeting illegal aliens causing what Forest Service officials called "significant damage" to the Coronado National Forest -- apprehended more than 300 illegals along just a three-mile section of U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona and confiscated 600 pounds of marijuana in a 10-day period. At least five fires were set below a Border Patrol observation post during the operation in an effort to burn the agents out, according to a Forest Service report. The fires were extinguished, and no one was arrested. Wildfires are being set by alien and drug smugglers, authorities said, to create a diversion in an attempt to gain undetected access across the border. The fires correspond to a dramatic rise in assaults against Border Patrol agents -- up more than 100 percent over last year. "Criminal activity by both illegal immigrants and citizens in forests near the border is a threat to members of the public trying to use their public lands and to our employees trying to manage these lands," Tina J. Terrell, a Forest Service supervisor told a House Appropriations subcommittee last month. She said law-enforcement personnel have been assaulted, threatened with weapons and shot at, and their vehicles have been rammed by cross-border violators. Because of the remoteness of the area, she said, timely assistance from other law-enforcement agencies is not always possible, and communications limitations and active interference with radio frequencies in Mexico create additional safety risks. "Even normal enforcement duties bring our officers in regular contact with cross-border violators," she said. "Our officers risk their lives every day to enforce the law in these remote federally managed lands." The Coronado National Forest is not the only area along the border being targeted for wildfires. Other blazes also have been set, including two this month near the San Luis, Ariz., port of entry as the result of Molotov cocktails -- one of which barely missed a Border Patrol agent. Authorities said agents are being targeted by illegal aliens and their smugglers for rock attacks -- including grapefruit-size rocks wrapped in rags, dipped in gasoline and set on fire. "As larger areas of the border come under operational control, we can expect violence to increase as smuggling operations can no longer operate with impunity and do not have unfettered access to the border for their criminal activities," Border Patrol Chief David V. Aguilar told a Homeland Security subcommittee this year. "This explosion of aggression is an indicator how desperate and angry drug and human traffickers are at the increasing disruption of their smuggling routes," he said. AzP&Y - Tread with caution 35 & 36 area hunters!

It's possible that he used more of an eastern whitetail form for this mount -which caused the facial expression to change... You may ask him which type of form was used (or he uses for coues deer)... Although closely related to easterns, the characteristics are smaller (eyes, etc)... Still an outstanding buck with archery equipment! AzP&Y

Very Nice cannon! - Looks like a coues slaying maching to me! AzP&Y I like the camo- very unique- I've never seen anything quite like it..

REEL NICE FISH JIM- I"VE always wondered about ALAMO- thanks for the report! I'll have to head out there sometime! AzP&Y

Ok 105 coues , here is the one from 04, the cow was from 05 ... AzP&Y

Looks like real nice country Scott. Congrats on your new house being built.. Looks like an incredible view! Wish I had coues that close to my house AzP&Y

I don't know anything about racist comments from them, I just paid the man on time and thought they did an oustanding job, you can judge for yourself. Sounds like it was out of context or character- I still recommend them to other hunters... just my 1Cent. AzP&Y

Here is one with the fence in it and you can see from Peloncillo's pictures -how much its dropped.. AzP&Y

June 06, 2007 Arizona game and fish -Fishing Report MARSHALL LAKE :Small trout are being caught on flies. A few larger hold-over fish are being caught. No Longer stockable Doug (RR), A couple of years ago, after the big snow that thing was real full and they stocked it after many years... Lots of fingerlings... Not sure if they ever matured and looks like when I was through there last year on the AZ Trail... it was way down (but game and fish continues to stock it from time to time- I guess not according to the latest report...?) A couple from 2 years ago.. AzP&Y

jason glad that you liked it- The bowl is awesome after a powder dump / hike the bowl and drop in -START THE LITTLE ONE EARLY AzP&Y

I personally don't know who asked for the change, I'll let Keith speak to that, but I heard they wanted 6 months -and instead got 3. But will be back to limit the hunts even more.. (very concerning)... AzP&Y

Hey Hey 3 CHEERS! - Great story and Pictures- That Mountain is one that deserves the utmost RESPECT- It requires a whole new set of gear and technique!! - Now you've that you've got that one, Denali is calling? Thanks for taking us along! Great pictures and there is nothing like crossing a crevasse and the sound those things make (creek, creek) and the rippling effect of the ice shifting under your feet! True adventure! Nice touch with the FLAG! AzP&Y

Spants, Try the scenic sky ride @ Snowrock (bowl) http://www.arizonasnowbowl.com/summer/skyride.html The museum of Northern Arizona is a nice place to check out AZ history... http://www.musnaz.org/ Good Luck! AzP&Y

Pretty incredible footage. Was that sunrise or sunset when he took the shots? The second arrow really did the trick! Thanks for sharin' AzP&Y

AZCoues Addict, That is a fantastic mount... I really like the mass on the buck. The Taxi did a wonderful job! Can't wait to see your mount.. AzP&Y

I called AzG&F prior to my long 3 day weekend. AZ lion season is still open until 6/30/2007. Then it will close, July , Aug and reopen Sept 01, 2007. Starting NEXT YEAR (2008). The season will close on 5/31/2008 and then start again Sept 01, 2008 (giving them 3 months ) to have their kittens. I didn't feel it was clear when I read about the changes, so I called and spoke to them directly. Feel free if you are still unsure.. AzP&Y

LEES' FERRY & CHEVELON CREEK 2 of ARIZONA'S BLUE RIBBON TROUT STREAMS! LIFE IS BETTER ON THE FLY <((((((< AZP&Y

The US consumes 25% of the worlds oil production yet represents 5% of the worlds population. Oil Companies LOVE this and will capitalize on this until the end ... Oil is a finite resource. I spent the last month in India and they along with China are more hungry for oil than ever. But still this is the "norm" - 6, 8, 10, 12 people in every car! Of course each of those countries has a population of more than a billion people, so the need to fill that request is greater than ever! The car you see below , is a 1.1 litre Hyundai. http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/ene_oil_...oil-consumption AzP&Y

Fantastic production so far.. I'd buy just the U =tube version - That is a great start and cannot wait for the finished product. I already have dead on 1.. so this will definetly be part of my hunting dvd collection. AzP&Y

Tourists bring $150 million a year "If you have a fence that runs several miles long, if you are a tortoise or any animal that can't fly over or go through it, then you have a pretty long distance that you have to go to get water," said Brown, an outreach manager at the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge, 225 miles south of San Antonio. Also, "any destruction of any brush is very damaging." In addition, some worry that the barrier — described in some plans as triple-layer metal fencing — will damage the tourism industry along the Rio Grande. The wild cats, reptiles and at least 500 species of birds attract visitors from around the world who bring the impoverished region $150 million a year. Depending on how far inland the fence is built, it could create a no man's land north of the river, hurting tourism Wow... I'm not sure the above statement even begins to justify the cost spent by US tax payers for uninsured motorists, Incarceration of illegal immigrants, health care to illegal immigrants. The Fence is coming regardless of who wants to oppose it... AzP&Y

Ground blinds... Ok I know it's WAY busy and should definetely blend in a bit better, but you'd be surprised what you can get away with elk, deer seem a bit more 'perceptive'. Build a nice blind one season. Let mother nature take it's course (weather,wind , rain) and come back the next season with a bit of tweaking and it can be fantastic... AzP&Y
