| Think about this one folks! Here you are you've be lucky enough to
pull a tag, you manage to get a week-off work. You layout some $$$
to get everything ready. Off you go with great expectations. After
the first day you head on back to camp. Later that evening you
are visted by the game warden. "Sorry about this, but the hunts been
called off!". HOMEY DON'T THINK SO!
If I was an Arizona Warden, I don't think I would try real hard to find
people's camps or the hunters themselfs. But if I had to inform these
hunters that their hunt was over due, I'd include a list of officals,
including the Judge that signed the order to stop the hunt as well as
the laywer(s) involved. Perhaps I would even go so far as to suggest
that having these people's head mounted over their fireplace might look
better than a bull elk.
The list would also include the organization responsible for such action.
If if can happen in one state (A WESTERN STATE no-less) It can happen in
yours!

| Well, guys, things aren't getting any better in Arizona. Now there's
this Amendment 200 (or something 200) that will be on the ballot (not
sure when). This measure is pushed by anti-hunting groups. According
to the backers, it's primary purpose is to stop trapping on all state
and federal lands within the state. This is how they are presenting
the measure.
However, the bill is worded such that it can easily be interpreted
to include hunting as well. Wording to the effect that "lethal
methods cannot be used..." and such are giving a lot of people
serious heart burn. The state wildlife department opposes this
bill, but is prohibited by law from lobbying for or against it.
It has issued statements, though, that it doesn't like the bill.
This month's issue of the American Hunter is my source. If you
get that magazine, please read the article. It's very scarey.
