grey curse

This is my concern. I’m also worried about what some might do to the ranch, fence, tanks etc. after losing long times hunting areas. It will do nothing good but hurt whatever future hunter might have to ever regain access.

As of now the access to Shaffer is the same as it has been for the last few yrs to the designated parking area. The designated walking path up the canyon on private is no longer allowed. Santa Margarita ranch have posted signs on property lines that say no hunting,hiking, camping,or trespassing. Not sure why some roads that cross private are not posted and some are.

So what’s the scam. They get the $30 and move on?? I guess if they get 10 people a day that’s $300 bucks.

It actually ended up being a great starting point to jump on hwy 89, 89a or ryan. 30 mins to far corners.

Wife had that tag last yr. We rented an Airbnb in Fredonia, best decision we did. I can forward the place to you if interested. Cheap, clean with no worries. We had a Great hunt and seen some good deer. Came home empty with two misses, one stud and a good 4x. (dang muzzleloaders). You are going to see a lot of people, not just hunters but people driving around just looking. Prey for weather, Snow on the top will push them down on either side. Think the hunt last yr was a week or two early to see good rut activity.

Youth hunts opened yesterday

Great day for America. Good to see AZ turn red. Very disappointed in Pima county.

I’m going 114” but he is very deceiving. Awesome buck.

Taking my 81 yr old dad out to 29 in a few weeks. Hopefully he fills his first turkey tag. Wife had the tag last yr She killed on the opener. Hopefully we can make it happen again this yr.

Venison shank buco never stripping the tendons out of shanks again to ground meat. This is my new favorite dish.

Saw tooth is what we have always called them.

Not sure what everyone’s gripe is but I use a iPhone with this simple quick Home Screen tab and have no issues scrolling or browsing. Kinda think it my responsibility to know what’s open by looking it up every Wednesday without a notification. Try it hopefully it works for you. Copy it,look it up and Home Screen it https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1Cx1a40_mywVd8rv1IvsOoG4tQwoTWvXM4LHn31721Hw/htmlembed/sheet?gid=412778987

Went from 10’s chest carry , 15’s backpack and a 20-60 spotter. To 12,s and a set of twin spotter 30x with a 20-60 eye piece. Weight is same and would never want to go back.

Awesome job. Sounds like a well earned buck. Congrats

Pretty bold statement unless you know way more than that write up gives. heck at 15 yrs old I was sneaking out of the house and partying with all my football buddies. Good thing nothing horrible like this ever happened to any of us. Hope the family can find some peace.
