Location is important, but bait is also. I suggest just catching crawdads in the river and using as bait. Best option there is.

I was hiking in Zion national park about 20 years ago. We did the Angel's landing hike. If anyone has done it, they know that there is a little knob, the "landing" where you can sit and see a straight dropoff of 1,000 feet or so in every direction. The squirrels are pretty bold on that little knob and I kicked one that was getting on my foot. He had quite a fall down. I felt bad about that, and a buddy of mine still gives me crap about it.

I'll second White Mountains. Best fishing in AZ.

Amazing how 'urban' they can be. I saw one at Cooper and Elliot in Gilbert. That's miles from any real open land.

Ocean Club. Nothing touches it.

gorgeous pictures and incredible trophy. wow.

incredible. Thx.

I hunted cow in these units back several years ago. There was a bull hunt the prior week and I talked to the hunters about herd movements from camps. I did scouting prior, but its amazing how fast they move in a short period of time. Good luck!

Be sure of your conditioning if you drop an Elk in there. Totally. Really rough terrain.

haha. Sounds like you got drawn this year, eh?

That'd be great, but thinking it'll be next week.

Here's the deal: this issue has likely happened every year, but each successive year, technology pulls the veil back a bit so you see what is happening. I have managed larger databases than what they are working with. Trust me, it's not easy.

I heard from a friend of mine that one of his hunting buddies had a super sharp knife that was used specifically for field dressing animals- it was crazy sharp that used replaceable blades. Any ideas what this is? Thinking what a long process it is, especially with an elk. Hoping for the opportunity to test out new gear this year, haha.

Is there a trick to this to ensure you get the real thing? Sounds like a great idea.

Oh, interesting. Do the blades rival the Havalon or the Outdoor Edge?

Brilliant, thanks fellas!

Hilarious.

where you going hunting this time?

Love the excitment here. It's like Christmas (ok- better than that) for those who have gotten drawn.

I have 3 points average on my full card of 4. Either got pulled for early 10 (1st choice), or 22S.
