If this is something that occurs frequently then being pissed would be understandable. Otherwise why escalate the issue. Just go next door and ask them to move the car. If I resorted to drastic measures every time some body pissed me off or inconvenienced me I would still be serving time in Florence. Light'n up folks. Biden's not even in office yet and we want to start wars with our neighbors.

Lots of good advice from many different people listed above. Livestock will not eat straw but they will eat hay if it's available. I can't believe we still have red flag warnings in November. Those late hunts are even going to seem colder without the ability to sit around a good warm campfire. 2020 sucks in so many different ways.

Oh, I have had plenty of opportunities. I am holding out for one those classic kaibab bucks that go well over the 200 mark. I have seen a couple while hunting but things didn't work out for one reason or another. It is very common to see 15-20 bucks per day but they are not all the big ones. The most I have ever seen in a single day is 39 but that was 12 or 13 years ago. Lots of 22-26 inch bucks running around up there but numbers drop dramatically once you start to get to 28" and bigger. If and when I ever draw another 12aw tag, I will know the buck I want to shoot when I see him. I'm ok coming home with my tag still in my pocket. If hunting was just about killing, I would have quit years ago. Good luck to the late hunt guys and be sure to post up some pictures when you get back.

Yes, I know how many points it takes get in the 20% pass but I have never had to wait this long before. I have had 2 late tags and 4 early since 2000 and still yet to put a tag on a 12aw deer. The older I get, the less I want to wait. I think my luck may be running out.

A couple years ago I went along on a mid November muzzy hunt and the elk were bugling every morning right before sunrise. Wasn't a whole lot but it was enough to locate them.

I have been trying for a late tag the last four years and I am getting tired of waiting and not getting to hunt. Not getting any younger either. I think I am going to give it one more try next year and then nothing but early hunts for me after that. I'm not much of a rifle hunter any more but I still enjoy giving it a go for deer. Congratulations to all the successful hunters so far this year.

All you guys hold'n out for a Gould's are giving up a lot of years hunting for one bird. I hope you have the hunt of your life and the wait was worth it.

Post'm fellas. I'm on the sideline this year but I would like to see some pics of successful hunts.

what's up with the wet pants?

I sold my 2005 Polaris Ranger 500 in similar condition in Nov. 2019 and got $4300 for it. You might be a little high but it is a sellers market right now. Anything on wheels or goes bang is a hot item. Good Luck with sale.

Last time I had a deer tag we had a democrat for president. I might have to vote for biden just so I can go deer hunting again.

Just curious but how was the archery hunt in 5B this year since start date was pushed back one week to accommodate the early muzzy hunt?

I have been on 6 or 7 of those late hunts one way or another since 2001 and only once did we ever get snow and that was the day we were packing up to leave about 5 years ago. Usually it is sunny, cold, dry and very dusty. Wind blows about half the time too. If it rains, the roads down on the winter range get real nasty. Not so much up top and in the mid range. Good luck to everyone that is hunting deer this year, no matter where it is.

Congratulations on a very fine buck and what looked like a good time in Wyoming. The only thing missing is a big TRUMP sticker on the RTIC ice chest.

This wasn't just the north Kaibab it was pretty much the entire northern half of state that got hammered from that storm. The storm occurred during late rifle elk hunt and many hunters were stranded for days. Like already said, many of the hunters from unit 8 all the way across to Heber/overguard had to leave their camps and trailers until the snow melt in the spring to get everything out. It was all over the news. Boy, we sure could use some snow like that again.

I wonder if Outdoor Writer remembers this storm?

Yes, you can take the 429 rd if 22 is closed. It is a much slower drive due to the tighter winding road that it is.

Congratulations drawing such a coveted tag. By far, this is my favorite place to hunt mule deer. If there is still available water up high and it is not frozen a lot of the deer will still be up high. Once the water sources freeze where they can't break the ice, all the deer drop down to lower elevations. Sowats is a popular place for deer and deer hunters. If you hunt down low you will see fewer hunters a few miles north and north west of Sowats. As so many have already said, glassing is the key and being at right place at right time. When I retire I plan on spending time up there every fall during hunting seasons whether I have a tag or not.

Looks like we are just going to go from one summer to the next summer with not much middle. Will red flag warnings be lifted in time for upcoming deer hunts?

"I've seen lots of black Americans that hunt.." In Arizona? I have no problem with anyone hunting but it is just not very common to see black bow hunters. At least here in AZ it isn't. To be honest, I can't remember a single time I have been out hunting in the field and came across a black hunter. I probably have but I just don't remember. I have been shooting all the big 3d shoots here in AZ since early 80's and it is extremely rare to see a black shooter. I don't give a dang about the color of someone's skin. Just stating my observations.
