Unit 27 is open. All of Apache-sitgreaves national forest is open. iT opened the other day. http://www.eacourier.com/articles/2011/07/20/news/breaking_news/doc4e206bbfe294d726216789.txt

Looks like Kari Greer from USFS took most of them...great pictures again

Excellent pictures! Anybody know who took them? Shame to see the beaurocrats making it worse! Hunting should still be good this fall! Jeff

Hunt cmc, just get out, scout and hunt. They're is plenty of 27 that wasnt burned and even the stuff that was ] burned will still hold elk. If you are concerned I will happily accept your tag! NOt being harsh, but my daughter has a unit 1 youth cow tag and as soon as the forest is open again we will be up there scouting. I would like to see the campground where we were at on May 21! LOL Jeff

Has anybody sent that to the Department of the Interior? Well done!! Jeff

Thanks Lance! It is all about the (mis)management of habitat. Jeff

I couldnt help but notice the great video quality of th etoad! What video camera were you using? Thanks! Jeff

Nothing like paranoia! Jeff

Picture didnt show up. What is condition? NO silver but do you have a cash price? Jeff

What is condition (hard to tell from pictures)? How concealable is subcompact with normal 12 rd. mag? Thanks.

I am interested in rifle. Coming to Safford anytime soon?! or any where close by? Jeff

Here is my biggest buck to date on camera in a area I hunt. I think my daughter shot at him in October on the youth hunt. (missed due to her dad!! ) I never saw him in November on my hunt or even during my brother-in-laws late rifle hunt!! Sneaky bugger coming by a scrape at 11 in the afternoon on Christmas Eve!! The few people I have sent the picture to are saying 105 ish. Hope my daughter gets a crack at him again this fall! What do you all think?

OOps, guess you did.

Have you found anything yet? Last year I decided to have a .250 Savage made for my 10 year old daughter. My daughter is 4 foot tall and 45 pounds!! I found all the "youth' models to have a length of pull a inch or more than what my daughter could comfortably fit into. The .250 Savage has recoil in between a .223 and .243 but still obviously able to shoot a wide range of 25 caliber bullets. I also found reduced loads that I loaded for her (14.6 grains IMR sr 4759 and 87 grain Hornady soft point) that brought the recoil to less that a .223!! She is extremely recoil shy and would practice this load at the range. For deer hunting I used a different load ("hotter") and didnt feel the difference when shooting at a deer The .250 Savage is a 'dated' caliber but I find it a sweet shooting round and have been shooting it a lot myself! My daughter was drawn for the youth cow elk hunt in unit 1 for this fall and I will be working a load for that hunt (probably a 110 grain Nosler Accubond or something similiar). Bottom line is you need something that your son is comfortable shooting (both fit and recoil). There is lots of reduced loads for the .308. Notice the size of the stock especially at the butt end. \ Hope it helps. Jeff

I posted this in trail camera's forum too. The biggest buck I have had the stealthcam take a picture of. I set it up on a scrape that was used last year, so I though it would be used again. Sure enough! I think my daughter shot at him in October on the youth hunt. (missed due to her dad!! ) I never saw him in November on my hunt or even during my brother-in-laws late rifle hunt!! Sneaky bugger coming by a scrape at 11 in the afternoon on Christmas Eve!! I think we will have another chance at him this fall (if we get drawn!). Maybe this fall he will be a 4x4. Feel free to throw some scores around! Jeff

Brent/Courtney! We'll see you up there!! Congrats!!! Jeff

Unit 1 Youth cow elk for my daughter!!! ~~nothing for me~~

late rifle--Unit 1, 2b, 2c=3009 hunt number

okay!!

so what happened?!! Thanks for posting, smoker bull.

Thanks, now you got me all jacked up for this fall!! Great video, thanks for posting, really!! Jeff

Oh, how did you find the hunting pressure during your hunt? There seems to be a lot of tags for the late hunt and I hear it can be a zoo. Jeff

Smoker bull! Congrats. I am crossing my fingers for a archery bull tag this year in that unit! Jeff

Wow! Very nice! Congrats to both you and your dad! Jeff
