    ATV hunters running in prohibited areas

    Major annoyance, as long as there are people this will never change. People don’t have enough respect for themselves to follow basic basic rules. items on our last hunt. 1- camp squatters 2- making new trails into camp sites 3- driving through pristine meadows with no road 4- 8 year old kids driving utv solo no helmet 5- shooting guns at night in camp 6- shitting in camp site 7- garbage, found a kill site and picked up gloves, wipes, broken havelon blades, wrappers for havelon blades, and they drove cross country on closed posted old dozer road to get to kill. Parked 40 feet from it and still left garbage. 8- hunters coming in for next hunt plowing into the hills while current hunt is going on. Driving up to water in prime time. Hiking out of a heck hole I hit a two track with three utv and 7 dudes blowing cow calls and bugles while sitting in utv and when I asked they said they were scouting for next hunt 2 days away. It was 11 am. ????? I just said good luck and walked on shaking my head.

    unit 27 early archery

    After 12 years of applying it finally happened, I drew my first Elk tag for Arizona unit 27. I am looking for some help in my planning. I am looking for two things,,,,I would love to find someone in the area where I could board 2 Mules and maybe drop a trailer and be able to come and go a few times during most of September. The second item would be a reliable Packer in the area I could hire for camp haul or Meat haul or both. I have yet to decided how I want this hunt to go, now that its my tag my dreams of packing in and hunting like Im back in time isn't as shiny as it was while reading stories of such adventures. I now know hunting takes a hit when your dealing with stock and trying to hunt yourself. This will most likely be the last time I do a hunt like this for myself and I really would like to give it every chance to be looked back on with no regrets. Basically I am planning on being solo for the hunt and open to the possibility that some help will be with me at some point, I cant plan it that way of course since its really tough to have everything line up for buddies to be able to make it. So if anyone has some intel on either of the help items above please let me know, I had 2 different options lined up from several years ago while learning and planning for this tag but those options are no longer available. Thanks in advance. 1) Packer 2) Horse boarding

    unit 27 early archery

    Hunt was amazing, 16 days in the wall tent. Crazy rut went off the first week or so. Big bulls , bears, bobcats, tons of deer, turkeys. Had so many encounters I can’t even keep them straight. Pull my arrows out at least 20 times and full draw 4 times. In the end I shot a good bull in the shoulder and spent 3 or 4 days looking for him. Pretty much ended the hunt with a broken heart. Got the whole thing on film Don’t know what else to say, everything I could have asked for just missed the shot by a few inches. Never found the bull or arrow and am pretty sure he’s off running around somewhere. Tracked him off into some of the nastiest country I’ve ever been in. Stuff I would never even consider had we not been after him to get closure. Amazing weather and food. My wife stayed with me the entire trip. I forgot for like 3 days I even had a house or job. Mules got to graze on mountain grass every day. Learned a ton every day. Too bad it’s probably my last early tag. Time to beg to go on everyone else’s hunts. 12 years is a long wait.

    2019 Compass Thor motorhome

    why whould they build what should be a bed over cab design with a bed in the middle of the living area? odd layout to me. wasted all that over cab space. good motor for that size rig for sure. I like the 3 tv's part, haha wallmart 3 tv's equals 400 bucks but great sales point for 85,000 RV. price isnt over the top, these style are pricey. Neighbor has a mini wini same size they paid 70,000 with gas motor

    New BLM director

    How would you feel if 50 percent of your company didnt want you to work there? If I had a 50 percent no vote for me to be hired I would go elsewhere but some people have no integrity.

    Dirt bike questions

    suzuki drz 400 is a great ready to go right off the floor dual sport, good range and plenty of power. Most brands have a comparable model like it also. I rode a drz 400 about 200 miles on dirt roads in a single sitting a few years back and was happy with it. My last bike was a 2015 kx 450f for motocross and that thing was a beast. definetly not for beginner riders

    freeze dried food

    I’ve been using the peak stuff from Ross and it’s good but a little heavier than mnt house. still wish mnt house wouldn’t have ruined the pro packs, I’m solo a lot and don’t need 2.5 servings. Makes no sense unless they weren’t selling. But they were always sold out so really makes no sense.

    Reloading for longrange neck size or full size?

    There are a lot of options and theory’s in this realm but mostly the name of the game is neck tension. On top of this decision I see a lot of guys using force gages on their seating set up to ensure neck tension. I was doing this by gaging neck finish diameter with pins down to .0001 size range. A reamer was then used to ensure fit. A force gage is much better and can help with SD on velocity.

    Reloading for longrange neck size or full size?

    Both for me but mostly full length and anneal every other load.

    WTB SO Redcliff with stove

    Just my opinion but I bought a red cliff and it sucks in the wind. I like the room but if it’s windy it catches it if it’s not oriented just right. Tipi is much better but not as much room.

    Monday Check in

    Still managing a decent routine, ramped up hard on weight hauling. Carry 45 lbs up into the white tanks 4 or 5 days a week in the heat. Push ups and pull ups every day. Hitting the big hills next week for some bear and elk scouting which should see about 25 plus miles backpacking. Good luck all hitting the OTC hunts

    2021-22 governor's bear tag

    The interpretation is profit, so if I spent a grand in the process of finding a really good bear then it’s a wash. I’ll be in bears next week also but I’ll have my bow so hard to say ide give up an opportunity, can you use rifle for that tag???
