My Rights As An American

Steal for that price.

Or a bow!

On our way to youth javelina hunt and got up to 6a. Went to grab my backpack to find it was stolen from the truck while eating dinner at Carl's Jr at I17 and Pinnacle Peak or Happy Valley. Was only place we stopped so it had to happen there. Was a Horn Hunter pack with Vortex Kaibabs, GPS, tags, license, slik tripod that I can pick out of a lineup due to an accident. Really pissed right now. Sitting in Cottonwood and more cannot take my daughter tomorrow. Please keep an eye out. Really pissed. Have my daughter, her friend and my son with me and hunt is now ruined due to some a-hole thief.

Scanned a bunch of hills this evening but did not see anything at all. Pretty bummed but kids had a tremendously good time. Thanks again!

I tried to look for him and waited outside for a while after I retrieved my stuff. I drove around looking for him. Had a pretty poor description but I am sure he was watching to clear his conscience. Could not find anyone that late at night hanging around. Was not looking for confrontation. You have to understand, my brother was murdered years ago by two homeless men who beat him to death. It can be rough out there. Having this happen brought back a lot of interesting emotions.

Thanks everyone! We found 2 different herds this morning. We let our friend go after the first herd and she got one, her first ever! We stayed behind to spot for them. Walked them right in! Our shots were 300 yards or more. Second herd snuck out while putting on a stalk. Just grabbed late lunch. Going back out to find more getting up for the evening. So dang tired after last night!

This site is awesome. Thank you all for the incredible offers to help!!! SHOCKING TWIST UPDATE: Called the store to see if they had cameras rolling, and manager said there was a homeless guy with my pack in the store! He came back in to the same store. He left it and walked away. Returned 45 minutes later and left a full page handwritten apology along with a few items he had stolen from the bag. Said he felt bad and was not a thief. Other than a few things out of place, all was still there! Just rushed down to there from Cottonwood and back. Stunned. Just. Stunned. All still there, even unopened food and snacks. This NEVER happens. Nobody ever gets their stolen items back. Maybe a little positive karma after all I have been through these last few years? Maybe I need to see it as a sign or something. Thank you all for the amazing offers of help. The hunt is back on and the kids are so excited again!

No not unlocked. Left it in the bed with other stuff. Never lost anything that way. Thing is I never leave it in my bed I just forgot with the kids.

You are missing a few extra parts that I will not mention. Same with his “brother”.

Uh, any actual hunting reports? Sounds like you all need a separate private chat room to swap pics.

Saw a muley pushing does this morning but the whitetails were without bucks. Got pretty windy. I think the whitetail rut is over where I was hunting.

Wish I had the space. Would be great for hanging quarters during hunting season!

Me like pics of full water holes!

Great deal!

My 12 year old daughter recently had her birthday party there. Was a good time for her and her friends.

Rut was on hard core yesterday.

Start up high and look against opposing hills south facing and use a tripod with good bingos. Look for movement. If you can se rabbits and birds moving you will see deer and javelina eventually.

Seconds if it falls through.

Dang. That was quick.

Saw them each day for 3 days in those units. Wind kept messing me up though. Plenty out there. Lots of great advice already given here that I follow religiously.

My observations from the past three days and 30 years of hunting them is that they do not like hanging around the cattle. They may still cross the areas with cattle but they do not bed as much where the cattle are staying. I could be wrong but that is my experience. Javelina will be high and low.

Took the kids up there during the heavy snow and there were accidents all over the 87 on the road from well before Sunflower all the way to the Mt. Ord turnoff. Came home with a truck bed full of snow for kids to play with. Very busy tow trucks yesterday. Plows were really busy too. Lots of terrible drivers who have no idea about driving in snow.

Location?

Welcome to the site. Pics would help, especially at that price.

Up to two annually. Not an expert but they cannot be from the exact same hunt number but can be the same unit. For example, one archery in unit X and then a HAM or rifle in same unit. Or can be different units.
