With the 21 Mule hunt coming next week I thought I’d drive around Dugas and do some scouting. Never done it before, and I found that 68 goes between Dugas and bloody basin. It was a beautiful ride, but there were a few spots I’d wish I had taken the Polaris and not the Yukon.. and the 4wd was out. It’s one of those “Lord please just let me get over this wall of rocks because I really don’t wanna go back down in reverse and I promise I’ll turn around when i can”. But I didn’t.. kinda glad I took the trip. Compared to straight desert I thought the contrast was just fantastic. Regardless of the hunt results, I think I’m going to be spending a lot of time up there. Just gorgeous. Kinda weird tho- might be the pressure from the current hunt but they’re not going near the tanks I went to.

Got it covered.

Google says it’s both roads? I call it uneccessary bouldering.

There are some monsters in that area for sure

Spent the day around New River Mesa yesterday. Only met a crew of folks once- and they were pretty disappointed in what they were finding. Also, these tanks popped up at every “water hole” -(pretty dry for Oct).. seems like they’re going to implement them for troughs in some way. And.. other than some burn marks in the ground, you couldn’t tell there was a fire.

That’s just awesome!

Congrats!!

Ethan was a trooper. Pretty cold and windy in the burn, but sealed the deal at 3pm opening day. We were talking .. and realized we saw 1 squirrel and about 76 doe. Not alot of squirrels! And a ton of folks who parked in the middle of the road and were nowhere to be seen. I can only imagine they saw a doe and gave chase. I know the feeling. Hope they scored. 263 yards with his new Creedmoor 6.5.

Awesome!

Gonna be cold this week in 12AW! Bring tons of warm weather gear for the kids.

I know! 😉

💯 agreed

So middle son got picked for 18b late November. It’s one of our favorite, possibly muddiest units. I read somewhere that there could be two javelina in a season. How does that work? buy an extra tag? Different units?

Was thinking of 18b and 17b- he’s using a 6.5 this year.

Wifey is totally into. Any bones from elk/deer go into the broth. It’s not bad!

Badass. I’m think that’s what she’s going for. I’ll give Bret a call.. he’s close to cabelas.

My wife has a lot of patience. There have been seasons logging over 60 hours in a stand, and she usually gets lucky. This season, she did it in 1. Hopefully some of that luck rubs off on me next week.

I can’t compete with that.

Cool. Who did you go to?

Sweet!

They’re looking pretty decent this year

I’m pretty sure at least 1 and 5 are the same guy..

So I’m doing a few Miles tonight walking.. suns down and I’m walking the trail to fig springs. New river Mesa is about 2 miles n x ne at this point, and I come across what I swear is a huge pile of bear scat. Do they come this far south??

Maybe I’m not a good Judge of .. kitties. I don’t have a pic of the scat- if there’s anything left from that Monster Grizzly Dump after the rain tonight I’ll snap a photo on my walk.
