grey curse

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.

NL 12’s along with big eyes, btx or twin spotters. Only way to go for coues.

Yes keeping it the long throw four speed, hopefully texting will be harder that way. Just turned the 351 into a 400 with small cam. Nothing crazy yet, easy swap later if he decides.

Good for you. My soon to be 16 yr old and me are deep in this dent side. Good memories already with more to come. Motor just got done, won’t be long.

Way cheaper then the route I went with mules. Still looks like fun, good luck on the sale.

Video games are the death in this next generation. They would rather spend all night playing their games these days then have a sleep over and actually play something really, experience life with friends. As a dad it’s tough and figuring it out is a challenge but they come around trust me. Wish I could help but know nothing about the unit. Good luck and keep after them kids, It will pay off!

Agree but then where would it stop. His second choice would then be available that was probably someone else’s first choice that was next in line that drew an tag and so on and so on. Would be a nightmare for the G&F, so no I would bet it goes to the next person in line without a tag

Go back to the days when someone could draw an elk tag every 5 yrs, deer tag every yr, and antelope tag every 15. Back when we had to pay up front and loss those funds for 3 months. The serious hunters will save up all yr to make sure they have the funds. The ones that don’t have the funds didn’t want it that bad anyway. Oh but wait, G&F wont get the millions of dollars in app fee. Never mind dumb idea.

This should ruffle some feathers. At this point I’m sitting on 26 points and figured I have another 10-15 solid yrs of hunting somewhat hard. At some point I guess my grandkids (hopefully not for 10 yrs+ up to 17 yrs old =27 more points) will be fortunate to have max points 53 points. How else can we look at it.

Wow. Glad u caught that, I would have never looked.

Headed down to 29 Sunday till Tuesday to do a little scouting for the wife’s Gould’s tag. Going to leave the trailer for a few days. Has anyone had any issues down there with people messing with camps? Hopefully the birds are talking, can’t believe she drew with half the points I have. Should be a good time. Just left youth camp last weekend, was able to call a tom in for my son. Good practice, we’ll see if the luck continues.

Thanks everyone for the positivity. Looking forward to it. Here’s the bird my boy got last weekend. Had to put 3/4 of the beard back in for the picture. It got a like western out there. I didn’t take the best pictures, think I was just amped up from all the excitement.

Give Shadow Valley Outfitters at least a call. They will talk you through the units, draw percentages along with expectations and cost. They offer different packages. No commitment to have a conversation. Good guys and their team have been killing it the last few yrs.

What your location?
