i haven't read where there was any money awarded to uso for legal fees. i don't think there usually in, in a deal like this. doesn't mean he won't ask for it later. this suit, supposedly, wasn't so uso could get more tags. tags are awarded to the lucky individuals who's name pops up in the computer, whether resident or nonresident. taulman's idea is that the more nonresident permits there are, the more he gets to rip off, i mean guide. if there is any money awarded to anyone, it'd have to be to all of the individual nonresidents who were theoretically discriminated against. i still think he is behind this landowner/permit deal that the azgfd is looking at now. if that flies, then he would get tags. i guarantee it. and mike and stanley, you guys knock it off. we all live in this state and we oughta all be on the same side o' the fence. to me, only folks that oughta be on the other side o' the fence is uso and his toadies. and in fact, if you ain't all the way over on this side o' the fence, then as far as i'm concerned, you're just an ally of taulman and his pieces of silver. we don't have to be buddies and send each other xmas cards and stuff, but we all hafta have the same big goal. which is keepin' some o' this good huntin' we have, for ourselves. that's why i think this sorta retoric is beneficial. force folks to pick a side. which side ya gonna be on? we can all fight with each other while boy george laughs at us, or we can all whip the hell outta him and keep our differences with each other private and take care of them in a personal way. like i've always said, we're all hunters, we should have some tolerance for each other. taulman is no longer one of us. he crossed the line that their ain't no comin' back from. i think folks that shoot deer over corn are sorta wierd, but by hell they hunt, therefore, i'm on their side. same as nonresidents that want to hunt in Az. go for it dude. hope ya get a tag, but don't come over here and try to make the rules. Arizonans first, in Arizona. same as in your home state. i live by your rules when i hunt there. you live by ours here. 90% of all applicants for elk tags in Az. are disappointed every year. deal with it. there just ain't that much good country here and we can only raise so many o' them big bulls to shoot at. as far as randy bryant, i don't know him, probably will never meet him, if he's a good guy, fine. if he ain't, well then that's another story. too bad that he got drug into this for sur. but if we can all come to some sorta concensus because he got drug in the mud a little, then it was probably worth it, to him and us. and i still don't hear anything from other outfitters. what's up with that?
