It often takes a few weeks for new address to take effect, so that may be
why you're still missing issues. I'll re-send May and June to the new
address, and all of your issues should go directly there from now on. I
apologize for the delay.

Hi Justin,

It looks like you missed your first issue (April) due to the address
change. We have extended your subscription by one issue to make up for it.
The May issue is in the mail right now, to your updated address, and should
be arriving in the next few days. June and July/August will follow, with
about 3-4 weeks between each issue. (We're currently running behind, but
are working hard to get caught up by this fall.)

I also noticed that the subscription is addressed to A____ A____[My Fiance], with you
listed only as the bill-to party. If this is incorrect, please let us know
so we can change it accordingly.

Thank you!

Sedona Backpacking

Much of the Coconino National Forest is off limits to camping around Sedona, however there are a few places I would suggest if you were up for a good hike and wanted some beautiful scenery and maybe some water to get away from the heat.

1. Munds Mountain - Access from Schnebly Hill Road. Schnebly Hill Trail to Munds Mountain Trail. (Solitude) (No Water) (Sunrise and Sunset)

2. West Fork Trail - Access from 89A or from top of canyon(need forest map). Need to be over six miles up from Oak Creek. Bring a dry bag and water shoes. (Busy) (Water) (Canyon)

3. West Clear Creek - Access from 'Bullpen' off of Forest Road 618 southwest of Sedona about 20 miles. Other drop in points for those with good navigation and sleuthing skills on the internet. (Solitude) (Water) (Canyon)

4. Secret Canyon Trail - Access from Vultee Arch road. Long canyon into the red rock of Sedona. (Solitude) (Canyon)

Best Sedona Viewpoint

One of my favorite viewpoints in Sedona is on Bear Mountain. It's absolutely gorgeous!

Grizzly Bear and Wolf ESA Protection

I think it is ridiculous that congress, our administration, and western states are trying to bypass the Endangered Species Act and have wolves and grizzlies delisted. These are key species that regulate ecosystems and are essential to the health of our environment. We need these animals and they need continued protection. Reuters

Wolves - Wyoming still wants a management plan allowing its citizens to shoot wolves on sight outside of the Yellowstone area. This is not beneficial for dispersal to historic range in Colorado or Utah and is a significant threat to current populations.

Grizzlies - There are only 600 bears and they are highly isolated. Why are there no grizzlies in central Idaho?

Just look at these maps...



2010 Deer Hunting

I just finished up with the 2010 Gun Deer Season in Wisconsin. I flew home from Arizona to surprise my father and hunt for a few days. Somehow everyone else knew but him and it was quite the surprise for him the Friday on the eve of opening day.

Hunting was average this year. I saw lots of deer and several different bucks but nothing huge. Tuesday afternoon I saw approximately 25 deer! For the group, the hunt was fairly successful. Two big eights and lots of deer; no booners but still nice bucks. I ended up shooting a smaller seven point buck that one of our neighbors gut shot. I put him out of his misery.

The four or five days I spent hunting makes me want to get back for bowhunting in the rut next year or maybe get a tag for elk or deer in Arizona now... Here are some of the photos:
9 Point Buck


Here is a picture of the buck my father shot in Buffalo County Wisconsin this year.

Seven Point Buck


I shot him on Sunday about 30 minutes after Chris shot his buck. He got spooked out of the pines and my mom saw "a buck" from the house.(I was in the stand you can see from the house by the river). I had the gun ready, saw he was just a little guy and put the gun down. I noticed he was running a little weird and saw a gun shot wound to his chest/guts with my binoculars. I grabbed the gun again and shot him at about 100 yards with him at a trot. He dropped right here rather than a slow death over the next few days/weeks.
