We vacation in Rocky Point the first week in May every year and it seems like we always talk about the hunts because the regs have just come out. Seems like the app deadline is the 2nd week in June every year, so they could be out anytime now.

If you’re not squeezed for time, 12AW would be a great hunt. Be worth checking the odds. It’s usually late October, being you mentioned the elk tag in November. If it works out I am sure it will be a great trip with your son. Good news on the PSA.

This is good advice….. you can bet (depending on the unit and tag numbers) that plenty of guys will be trying to randomly bugle and cow call for a response. I think the animals get conditioned to this very quickly. Archery hunts I’ve had and other hunts I’ve been invited to, we always did better going in early and quietly. Try and locate them feeding and get in front of them when they move to their beds. Also, as mentioned, sit still on water if it’s feasible. There’s a time and place for calling, but often times it becomes the best way to watch a herd race away from you. Obviously there are exceptions to it all and being prepared to make good and timely calls can be productive. Best of luck to you and the wife. Makes great memories!

Was there 3 days this week. Lots of little bass up shallow. Larger fish were hard to find. Lots of crappie fisherman having a good time. Saw a few people on the tonto end doing well trolling in the trees. Weather is supposed to cool down again so it may change things this weekend. Also had the normal 2 pm winds which made for a rough ride back to Windy Hill.

Great job bud. Certainly the greatest fishing partner….. 👍

To bad it’s such short notice…. Spent a lot of time on that lake and had some amazing trips out there.

No doubt…. Place would be a zoo. Better to leave it just the way it is.

onX is a must…. For me anyway.

Old school hero credentials right there Bud. Sorry for your loss.

2 great options here

After drawing 4 out of the last 5 years, looks like I’ll be joining others this year and not hunting myself. No complaints from me tho…. It’s been a fun ride. Looking forward to the fall for quail, bear and squirrel camps with our crew. Congrats to all that were successful this morning. Waiting patiently for the deer regs now 😂.

Never heard of it, but sounds like an incredible adventure. Congrats on the draw. Be cool to read the story when you get back.

For 25 years I archery hunted alone mostly. I hunted birds with friends usually and always joined the rifle tag camps that buddies went on. More often now with my son in law and a coupe of his friends that have taken an interest, I look forward to having them in my camps. Now days most of my solo trips are just scouting and/or camping. I really enjoy being on my own still. Probably always will.

Really cool video and that’s a great bull. Thanks for sharing. Don’t even need the tag for that to be a great experience.

Dayyyummm!! Nice find.

I remember that storm. If it’s the same one, I got out of Show Low that afternoon from working and it took me like 4 Hours to get to Globe. My SIL sent pics of snow higher than the hood of her car.

What’s the O/U on how many people just checked their email? 😂

Great video and cool to see.

That’s crazy luck for him that you happened to be there. Cool story.

Ask your site contact in the office to put you in touch with their safety dept before you drive down. They will have all the accurate info you need to be on site. Get them to email you something if possible that you can reference. All mine sites have local policies and protocols in addition to any MSHA requirements. Also,Not many properties are Keen on first time visitors driving around different areas with out some type of escort. Hope this helps.

Very slow 2 days down here by the border

If this falls through for any reason, I would be glad to pick it up for my grandsons. TY

Just curious, what’s a Kuiu solid?

My 2021 Taco (automatic) pulls a 4 seater sxs and my bed loaded (not a lot of gear) just fine. Just have to understand that you’ll pull Rye Hill At 50 mph instead of 75-85 like my old mega cab Cummins. The bigger difference for me going to the Tacoma was the ergonomics of the cab. Leg room and driving posture is definitely different. I’ve had it for 7 months and I’m not looking back. Great around the city and really stout off road.
