I have not heard if we are doing it this year, will post as soon as I hear.

Ed Hageman at Karsten Pest Technologies 480 664 0070. One of the best service providers (of any service) I have ever had a chance to work with.

All set up and ready to hunt.

Very nice buck, awesome reflex deflex.

Are these seasonal closings? I would think if they are closing roads that have been well used for years that proper prominent signs would be appropriate.

New week bump

Can you pack in and stash water ahead of time?

I have been dealing with this for going on near 20 years. Night time the worst, driving and carrying a rifle hunting would cause the numbness to flare up. Riding a motorcycle is near on a non go. I started wearing braces at night and that helped a lot. Also would stretch out my fingers, hand and wrist. Over time has settled down some but night time can be problematic. Still wear braces at night and if it won't settle down I ly on my back, try and square up buy shoulders and stretch my head to lengthen Ala yoga, hands at sides and deep breaths and it goes away fairly quickly. Good luck man know exactly what you are dealing with.

MIL's are easy - - MOA 4 clicks roughly equals 3 MIL clicks. At 100 yards 1 MOA click approximately 1/4 inch - - MIL click approximately 1/3 inch.

$1000 will get you a bare action of this quality and the stock.

Very good glass for a great price.

Consistent snow packs as far as I can recall have been non existent since the mid 90's. The snow pack used to be good enough to justify a ski area in the mountains above Tucson. The ski season in AZ early 70's used to run from DEC-MAR, good luck with that now days. The Sierra Nevada snow packs in 82/83 winter was insane, Great Salt Lake overflowed in early 83. The acorn crop in souther AZ has ben absent since mid 90's. Snow in Utah and Colorado has been spotty, for every good snow year there is a bad snow year with several so so years of snow scattered in-between. Climate change? Yep weather has definitely changed but do we really understand the cause of this dry trend? If this trend is because of CO2 then why the heck are we not building nuclear power plants and building cars/trucks that run on CNG?

"MyRadarPro" is the app I used as a commercial pilot. Now retired but during the 2020 NOV Couse hunt used it to track the approaching rain cell. My buddy and I had time to plan for getting under cover and we could see when it would pass.

I have hunted in 35B forever with a couple hunts in 32. The Santa Teresa Wilderness has always caught my eye.

Consider that a mature jaguar could dominate a territory that would hold say three lions. If the Jaguar were to kill or run off 3 lions from it's territory but only kill and eat 1.4 times as many deer than just one MT lion then that to me is a plus. I do not claim to know exactly how the numbers would work, but the dominant predator will not abide a lesser predator on its hunting grounds. It is much like how we hunters feel about lions and coyotes.

Looking at MyRadarPro app and it is a big storm. It stretches from S of Sierra Vista to Agua Prieta.

1973 almost on the US/Mexico border south of Ruby AZ. My Dad and Uncle and my Uncles ranching partner had been hunting this area for decades past. 1972 at 50 years old my Dad shot his last buck, I caught up with him in time to help carry it back to camp. 1973 the next year and my second year hunting I was on a flat ridge top watching, mainly keeping an eye on a saddle I expected game to come through. Sure enough a couple does and a small buck came through the saddle and traversed the ridge under me, I could not get a good shot so I backed off the ridge to set an ambush at the point of the ridge. The little buck came around the point maybe 40 yards in front of me and the Sierra 150 grain Spitzer, out of a 1903 Springfield from before WWII topped with a Lyman scope made before I was born, smacked him on the shoulder and DRT.

We as gun owners and 2A supporters need a seat at the table when whatever new laws that are coming will be formulated. We as a nation have a problem and as much as we would like to say "hey we did not create this mess so we do not need to give an inch" is a recipe to get intolerable laws. We now have warped and dangerous 18 year olds that can legally pass a background check and buy weapon that allows them to go on murderous sprees. Could they cause as much damage with a six gun and a bag of speed loaders? Could, but not as likely. A bolt gun? Again without a bag of 3-10 round magazines not as likely to cause near the damage. I see no loss of rights to raise the age for purchasing a semi auto detachable magazine fed handgun or long gun of 9mm Luger power or higher. Also make any private sale of described semi autos be required to go through an FFL background check. Right now I would not sell and AR or a handgun without a background check because of the liability involved. Is it gun owners fault? NO Is it the guns fault? NO Should we give up rights? NO What is required is helping to shape laws that can help slow the school carnage while at the same time insisting that other steps will be required. School need better security because who knows what new and deadly schemes these murderous youngsters will come up with. There is also the whole other issue of "mass shootings" that are purely cold blooded criminal activity that now is growing because Law Enforcement is being undermined. I would want written into any new law that we have the right to be armed and whatever rules that go into place to ensure weapons not get into the wrong hands is not a total cure but a partial piece of the puzzle.
