Just wanted to throw this out there in case the right eyes see it. Have received quite of bit of calls in regards to members having truck issues while on the hunt, some tough spots to be in. On that note I’ll supply parts at cost to any of you guys who need things done so you can avoid being in those circumstances. Thanks again, hope all is well

We also have this tag this year. Just returned form our last scout trip today for our first tag in 36c. Spent all day in there and did not see anyone else and only one BP at the 286/212 rd, last few trips BP was everywhere. I am also embarrassed to say the trash at the campsites from what I would say were campers/hunters from the first WT hunt last weekend was bad. Not as bad as I've seen on the rim from the "non hunting a holes" but bad enough, I cant blame the ranchers for saying keep out. Also saw the new orange posted no entry signs that we didn't see last month, and they were oddly placed I guess due to easements like you said. Had me second guessing a few times if I was in correct area. I really like the dead man pass area "south" of the ranch. I'm getting to old, or maybe just to lazy lol, to climb into those steep areas like Shaffer & Brown Canyons below the peak. With the access so limited due to the ranches and layout of the unit as whole I am very curious to see how dense the hunters will be, I feel like we are all goona be in one of three areas. Good luck to all, and pick up your trash.

dang what’s wrong with these pukes! You don’t hear very often that hunters out of a lack of respect refuse to work with ranchers! I’m embarrassed that fellow hunters would act this way. So many wonder why ranchers have shut so many areas down in the last few decades! Well there you go!

Any trades for other powder?

The last post was getting kind of long so I am reposting. Mammoth pieces and halves. 2 1/2 lbs $14.00 Native wild halves 2 1/2 lbs $17.50 Picked up at my home in Tucson or will ship for $7.00 for 2 1/2 lbs or $10.00 for 5 lbs. I am selling these at my cost to member and their friends and families. These are fresh and are kept in cold storage until I pack to ship. Unlike pecans found at the stores. I only have 30 lbs of Natives and 120 lbs of the Halves and pieces available. Email me at newepco@gmail.com if you wish to purchase. I except cash, Zelle, and personal checks.

I’ve never in my life driven through Tucson till last weekend. Saw that spot. some place I drove by had like a wood fire thing going that smelled so good.

I've seen so much illegal traffic do exactly this in the 36's.

Some roads have easements and cannot legally be posted. Most of them are private and posted with orange post and big signs! Santa Margarita ranch has also hired armed security! They are driving a white Toyota Tacoma that says Santa Margarita ranch security on the door. Was also notified that they have cell cameras to notify the security. game and fish came buy camps to explain and notify everyone about the closure and to let everyone know he’s making sure nothing is posted illegally but also notifying everyone that they are prosecuting. game and fish officer told me they opted out of the program because they have had too many issues with trash being left at camps, fences cut, gates left opened which could be illegal traffic as well but the final straw was a group of hunters camped next to some of their corrals and the cowboys were gathering cattle and asked the hunters to move their camp and the hunters refused and got into an altercation with the cowboys.

You’d be very happy with the Sako or tikka. The new ultralight comes threaded as well which is so nice if you shoot suppressed.

There are deer north of Roosevelt. I have a friend that had the early tags and hunted north of the lake below Armor Mountain and were in deer everyday. I didn't hear how they ended up doing but I know they saw bucks.

It's the point above Hagler creek with a pull out and a sign and I believe a little guard rail to park at. Walk out to where you can see down and across, also glass down along the road, also back up above the road in the rocks. Big bucks run in there. But you have to glass hard and may have a 500ytd shout. They like to come down the hill on the other side of the river. You'll be looking straight at it. Or the back side of Christopher Mnt but that's too hard to explain. Good luck

My son drew his 2nd choice 12aw antlerless for his first deer hunt. Due to the weather we got a room in Kanab for the weekend. We had just enough time to drive through the unit Thursday before dark but didn't see any deer. We were joined by his cousin and my brother in law. Friday morning had mom spotting bucks all over the place up high. Between glassing and driving we saw 17 bucks and no does by lunch time. After lunch and some exploring we changed elevation and started seeing some does. We got busted on our first stalk but right before dark we spotted this doe moving through some oaks. Jase and I made a quick stalk and I stopped her with a bleat in a small opening. He made the most of it and shot her at 150yds off my tripod with his 300wsm. She jumped at the shot and ran out of sight. Everyone came down to help us track. Before we even found blood i glassed down the hill and saw an ear in the grass. I handed Jase the binos and told him to look where he last saw her. It took him a min but when he saw her he got the biggest smile I have ever seen. After pics we navigated the new etag app and got her gutted. While we were skinning her G&f stopped by and said he would tell the check station to wait for us. We got her checked in 15min late. It was nice of them to wait for us. Back home Saturday we got her cut up and Jase cooked us steaks for dinner. Great memories were made!

Took this yesterday evening after a rare late October thunderstorm. Reservation Lake.
