Figured I'd toss a great quote up here for my first posting on this thread. Hope ya'all dig it....... "One final paragraph of advice: do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am - a reluctant enthusiast....a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it’s still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breath deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, the lovely, mysterious, and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much; I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound men and women with their hearts in a safe deposit box, and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this; You will outlive the bastards." -Edward Abbey |

That quote is awesome. Seriously it is. I'm going to use that quote for everything now, I think.

Thanks Kit! That is my favorite author, ol' Edward Abbey. He has written some great books, and is quite the inspiration to all us Desert Rats out there. He has some great stories of adventures along rivers, in deserts, up on craggy mountain tops, etc, and some amazing works of fiction too, like the book 'The Monkeywrench Gang". Highly opinionated person though, sometimes I would throw his books across the room in disgust at some of his more extreme opinions, but, I'd always pick it back up again.
So, have any of you folks been sucessful on a hunt lately?

Well....didn't quite know where to put this particular bit of information....
I got an e-mail forwarded to me about a hunt here in AZ that ended in a strange way indeed. Here is what the e-mail said....
"These pics came from a guy in AZ. Yes, the mule killed the mountain lion. The lion had been stalking them for the better part of the morning, on the way out to a hunt. They were pretty sure it was after one of the dogs. The cat ambushed them, and the mule pictured tossed its rider and went into attack (defense) mode, the horses scattered and shots were fired but no one was sure if they hit the cat or not. Unfortunately, it wasn't until it was almost over that one of the guys started snapping pics. The mule finally stomped the cougar to death after biting and throwing it around like a rag doll. The dogs wouldn't even come close until the mule settled down."
Then there were 4 actual pictures of the mule taking down the mountain lion, and they are crazy! The title of the e-mail was something like "I'll pick a mule over a horse anyday!"
