MULEPACKHUNTER

3 cows came in tonight no Bulls, Hail Mary tomorrow with an all day sit, I'll be packing camp and looking for texts to come thru play by play.

Finished off with some biscuit dough on top

Dutch oven on the wood stove !!! Running low on wine now.

Went to one of our water spots and someone built a new blind next to my tree stand !! Most likely rifle guys getting ready I guess but sucks since they drove right to it in a razor and walked all over heck. We have been walking a mile minimum from the end of the road every time to not wreck the area. We even carried the stand the mile as well. I rode out to our back up spot today and there are 2 new tree stands opposite each other , that worked out ok since we are using one now, haha. I miss the wilderness, dang roads make hunting good for some but bad for others. Good news is I saw 9 bulls while riding and one whopper!! Just got in a hot shower and poured some wine, going to be a good night I think, my buddy hit the stand about 1:15, going to have Dutch oven chicken and dumplings ready when he walks back in the dark.

I have done both traditional wood in homemade smoker and right now use a master built Home Depot dual fuel smoker with propane and wood. I can run 8 rib racks or 4 brisket. It does need babysitting but I like working around the house and smoking all day. The dual fuel helps with consistent temps and the wood gives the flavor. Hickory is good and I also like citrus wood I got from edge. My next toy will be the wireless meat thermometer that is a must. Very soon when hunting season is done I will be building another smoker and go back to wood only. If you can run a wood stove you can get a smoker to run with little fussing

So cool thanks for posting

Is the world still out there? Been in the woods so long I wasn't sure. We're still at it, 2 more days My boy Jake found a broken elk tine to chew on while I was glassing. Found my first ever bear den today, crazy spooky. Man there are some deer scat that are large caliber up here! Close to elk diameter ! Wonder if it's a small deer with a large hole or a big ole mule deer?

Haha that's funny my buddy has those on his bow and I neither of us knew what they were, I was thinking for sound but I was wrong.

Right on. Ya we have a bull like that big one I've seen 2 times but the hunter was in another blind. Now we are camped in one spot til we get him or Thursday hits. Cold this morning

Well there was carbon in the air twice tonight and my buddy killed 2 trees. Going to be a long night of explanations !!! I've heard 3 versions now 2 of which had acting out physically and one was on paper !!!

Sweet

I'll have to look at reciept but it was a guy that used to work for Bens saddles in wickenburg and opened his own place near deer valley road and 19th ave

Very nice makes perfect sense. Thanks for posting

Well had our best shot tonight on water, had a decent bull come in to 30 yards behind our blind and of course walked downwind !!! Dang it

Cool story thanks for sharing

Sister has a 9 month old chocolate lab with papers , on the larger end for size out of a litter of 3. Looking to breed one time before getting fixed and work out deal on offspring. Pics if anyone is interested.

Ya no rush just wanted to get things rolling now and make friends

Dang, left some extra beer there for you if you were. Haha

Serious inquiries let me know, if you have a female your looking to breed

Ok more details is time is not big deal, lab is a male and sister is off limits. Guess I missed a few items

Why you have plans to go looting?

We're getting beat pretty bad in our unit, sitting water all day but the elk are only hitting in the dark last 2 days. We can glass them on the water then they move off 30 minutes before light. We have a new stand further from water the way they move out so we will see.

Elk camp maiden voyage. Deer meat for dinner, stoves rockin away

Sat tree stand on water ttonight with nothing coming in. Drove past 2 bulls on the way back to camp. Dang it !!!
