I’ll be working in Seattle. I don’t know where I’m going to call home yet- maybe north of there in the country.

Cool.

Yup.

First order of business: combo tag! And figure out these crab rules..

I get a lot of texts to buy my house in Mesa. .. I don't own a house in Mesa.

Can you get XLT?

Late to the party. Where did you get a green slide!

Saw something weird. the boys have “pending” and yesterday their tag numbers (88,89) were displayed. Today it’s pending with no tag numbers.

Got hit for 2 elk a minute ago

Should have stayed home for the totty..

We’re heading up to 18b Thursday night. probably camping low, we usually camp high up on the mesas. Not looking forward to inches of snow on this trip- my usual spot is windy enough, and with them probably dog piling all day it’ll be a chore to find them. Will still give it our best shot!

Nah. It's all state trust. You're probably going to want Table Mesa - far enough in that you're hitting Tonto area.

We're in. Probably won't get picked, but we're doing a focus on 7W this year instead of 7E. Put 7E as a last choice this time.

We're thinking of a cricket farm to augment the protein for our girls..

Nice Hoss.

One of the best tents you can buy.

Holler if it doesn't go.

Got 21 mule in a few days. Leaving Thursday with a new approach. Taking the ranger as far east as I can drive from Dugas, taking the pack loaded up and waking out. I need to get away from the roads this trip- found some really good areas I’m hoping will be good for me this time. it’s pretty interesting trying to pack for this- usually I have a base camp with everything I need. Now I find myself going over the gear - do I really wanna carry this for a few days? Usually the answer is no… not so much. Going lite and fast. We’ll see how it turns out.

Saw an article today. Apparently it’s live. Those with the 14 can now use the SOS text anywhere in the US to connect to the satellite system for 911. If you don’t have signal, you can text emergency services. Big game changer for those who don’t have a garmin. If you’re thinking about upgrading, that’s a good reason.

I'll take a case Phil! PM me when you can.

Wow, not what I expected. I kinda found them, but not nearly in the numbers I expected. We'll see what the rifle bull hunt does to them, and what kind of weather is expected early Dec. Hope to get up there this weekend and scout more east of the 89. Most of the water holes were full... don't see myself sitting water on this hunt though.

Day 5. Haven’t seen one elk- 7 deer, 22 turkeys and a javelina we named “Chad”. Always fun to hunt 7E though. Except the wind.

Just ordered at Tractor Supply for my CO Cylinder. Will play with the settings on the stove and see if I can get it to burn at least most of the night. Also bought a 1 burner propane top as a backup. Hate getting smoked out of the Alaknak in 5 degrees..
