Dove hunting, in arizona - 09/05/13
earlier this week i was down south of phx, and found this agricultural field and tree farm, there were people shooting there so didn't think any issue. Went back today and as i was turning on I8 south of casa grande, i see two highway patrol vehicles code three running to the west, a pinal county deputy, and a indian police vehicle. Okay. So anyway i pull in along this agricultural field and see all the no trespassing signs.
Go into the tree farm and talk to this guy filling a water truck.
Said the owner had no problem with hunting but better check with office. I did. The guy there said was i talking to a guy in a orange jump suit. Sure was. He was one of 14 department of corrections imates released on a daily basis to work on the tree farm. Kind of NO firearms allowed. The guy in the office directed me to a old building/corral about a mile away off the property which i went to. Next to it were the BLM signs warning of the high drug trafficing/illegal area. This is only a few miles from an indian rez. The guy in the office told me to me careful, these weren't lettuce pickers headed north, it was under the control of the sinola cartel narcos. Now i was only about 40-50 miles south of phoenix. I did not enter any further more out of concern for my pup, i didn't want her to become tacos. Heck of a thing, we can consider bombing syria, but we can't control the desert in the state of Arizona.
As a kid i use to hunt in the desert all the time, you always worried about heat, snakes, and stuff like that. Now you wonder about running into the cartel. It just isn't worth it. If the gov. will not back up border patrol in confrontations, If you ever DID have a problem, your azz would be up for cutting.
I might add on the first run out of where that corral was i saw a ol ford truck pulling a trailer/water container. On leaving the second time, he was headed out into the desert. Must he hauling water to water the bushes.
