  1. The regs state first come, simple if I get there first and there is a tree stand up or an empty blind of natural materials I will not get in the stand but I will set on the water hole, in the ground blind or one of my own. I was there first. simple


  2. post-1403-1194886956_thumb.jpgpost-1403-1194886997_thumb.jpgMulie hunter and myself took our kids and several others with us to the rim for their youth hunt and as he stated 3 out of 4 taged. This is my sons second deer in three years. We have been telling the kids how great the north rim is and they said it is better than what we said, and I guess words can't tell it all. I want to thank those that put on the youth camp, our kids really enjoyed it as did we. A lot of work went into it and there seemed to be a great turn out.

  3. Well I got the privilege of being close by when mulie hunter got his buck.......well lets say I was at the truck keeping it company. With my asthma it is hard for me to keep up with him. I did hear the shot and when there wasn't a second I figured he got one. Mulie hunter is a great hunting partner to have. I finally hiked up to the ridge he shot it from and between breaths yelled support.......like are you sure you hit it. He did a great job and is always a pleasure to hunt with.


  4. Well I have put it off and put it off telling of my hunt on the Kiabab this year but here it goes. Mulie hunter and I went up on Sept 22nd and got there just in time for the rain. It rained the rest of the day and most of the night so we didn't get to hunt that day. We met up with some friends and camped/hunted with them with no success untill the Monday evening when one of our friends took a spike(12" to 14" long) off a tree stand at about 30yds. They had to leave the next day so at least one out of the two went home with something. Mulie hunter and I kept at it, working the water holes. They all seemed to come in after dark....I wonder why?. We had a close friend that his son was in the hospital with liver failure so we decide to go home early to pray for him. Our last time to hunt was Wed evening, after taking a scenic drive we were heading back to set up on the water hole when I happened to look down an old logging road and catch a glimpse of a meadow. We stopped to take a look and found lots of sign so we said, what the heck lets build blinds and stay here. Wasn't on my blind for more than 20 min before this spike walked in and gave me a shot at 30 yds.....missed like always. It ran towards Mulie hunters blind but stopped about 40 yards from me and then turned and came back to within 25-28 yds. This time the arrow hit its mark. After about a ten second dash through the forest it ran straight at me and died about 20 yds from me.post-1403-1193785101_thumb.jpg


  5. Hi. I just went out duck hunting for the first time and was told by the G/F website that Picacho Reservoir was a good place to go that was kind of close to Tucson. When I got there I spent some time trying to find the reservoir only to find it all dried up. Just wanted to see if anyone on here had any good duck hunting tips for a beginner on bagging some ducks in the desert. Thanks.

     

     

    Picacho Res has been dried up for a long time, thats old info. Try the cattle ponds you find out in the desert.


  6. I have to agree that the best way would be not to have a campfire, but on the other hand I think thats just part of the trip. I don't know about you all but thats one of the important parts of the trip for my boy, either starting the fire or sitting around it and watching the flames. So sometimes you have to lose alittle to gain alittle.
