It must be official since the sticky-back tag arrived in the mail today from AZGFD. Time to wear out some boot leather and tire rubber while scouting this summer to find the cows and green up areas that attract them. The 300 WSM rifle is in the shop being threaded for a suppressor. Ordered some new Lapua brass and 180 grain Swift Sciroccos to load up. Fresh diaphragms and cow calls have already arrived. This is going to be a fun DIY hunt.

Only way to kill anything is in 23a, with a $11,000 rifle that you're not allowed to see pictures of.

Got out for a couple hours Saturday and picked up some sheds. I’ve struck out the last couple years it was nice to finally pick up a few. Sorry about the pics didn’t seem to matter what I did they still came out sideways.

Dinner was my little girls bday plus Easter. Covered the floor with candy from the bedrooms to the living room and gave them each a bag and watched chaos ensue. Oldest son brought homemade salsa. Daughter made potato bacon soup. Momma made killer gumbo, deviled eggs, and shrimp dip and I made classic rubens. I'm so full I'm having a hard time breathing. If I don't wake up I died happy.

A few rams I finished this week .

In all seriousness though deer hunting in Arizona is rapidly declining. Between the drought, and every single person on the mountain having tripod mounted binoculars and the ability to think they can shoot 600 yards, deer hunting is going downhill and Gaming fish is more concerned about the impact non-residents have while archery hunting. While the real concern is drought, predators, 19 million rifle tags with zero mandatory reporting. but they refuse to address that issue

Anyone going to be there tomorrow morning and afternoon? I'm going up? Should be on the water around 5:30 AM. If You're going to be there . Say Hi if You see Me. I will be alone. And in a 12' Lowe's flat bottom boat. Painted Camo. Look for a old ugly Redneck in a camouflage boat. And You found Me. Good luck to everyone fishing.

My last archery bull the year before I harvested it. Local guy found them and gave me the opportunity to purchase them.

Well I paid $100 and I’m selling for $50. I end up paying $50 and another person gets a new set of headlights for $50. Seems fair to me. You are not misreading anything. I guess now I am getting questioned for sharing a bargain where we both reap a benefit. I have had many interactions with people on this forum and have always in my opinion been fair in my dealings, at least I believe. I’m not going to get into a debate over this. If you think I am doing something unreasonable then OK. Best Regards Phil

My 2024 bear is finally done

My son killed a bear in 22 couple weeks ago. About killed us packing it out.

I think her goal is to reign in spending. She has been on the scene for a long time but pretty low key. Mostly doing Social Work, which is fine. She's no spring chicken. She has supported LE and kept abortion accessible. I'm not a proponent but she's kinda middle of the road from what I've seen. Her term is up this year. It'll be interesting to see who comes out of the woodwork to make a run for Governor. She beat Lake, who has zero experience, across party lines. It was a shame that there wasn't a more credible candidate than Lake. Kinda a fruitloop. At least Hobbs didn't do a ton of damage.

Lunch is a trifecta of steak, chicken and ahi tuna on a bed of cabbage with blistered peppers. Topped steak with worcestershice and mushroom reduction. Tuna a little soy and sesame seeds. Chicken with carolina gold bbq sauce!!!

$.87 / lb Albertsons brand spiral ham smoked on the recteq for three hours.. with mashed potatoes, Fat man down!

This is probably bogus but would be great!

It was pretty nice at Knoll a few weeks ago. Headed up Thursday to Woods Canyon and it was busier than I would like so I made the further drive. Just me and my tent for a few days. Time well spent.

Ahead of the deer and sheep draw I think we as AZ residents owe the NR community a PSA about conditions here. That the state is pitiful. The brush is all burnt up. The tanks are all dry. The wolves have eaten all the sheep. The deer are lion poop. The border is a mess. And it’s infested with rattlesnakes. I figured with the way algorithms and social media work if enough of us post the same Info it might fill up some feeds and hep make sure nobody wastes their points in a lousy state.

I can’t stand the whole mess of them! I followed Charlie and that doesn’t mean I idolized him.But I did think a lot of him. Politics aside he was making progress amongst our young people through common sense, rational thinking and he was getting too close to making a change for the better. She’s a bitch all the way around!

Watchout for Habitat Stamps, Just kidding. Have seen plenty of camping from trailers to tents and even back of the pickup and haven't heard any issues arise yet. DAN

Alimony ends at midnight, so porterhouse, strong whiskey, cesar for celebration!

Go with the Lasik! It's life changing.

Worth the price of admission
