Maybe so. I wouldn’t turn down a sheep tag. But big desert mule deer have always been my passion.

I’m not to that point yet but I am not who I once was. It’s why I am done applying for sheep. They don’t do much for me anyway. Not like a 200” burro buck does.

combo of dryland and irrigation.

In west central AZ we used to figure 10-12gpm/per acre to raise a crop. At the cooler climate with more rainfall you may be able to double that but at 180gpm you are possibly not going to utilize all of your acreage. We had a small well on our home place that was 180gpm. It irrigated 20 acres of alfalfa on sprinklers.

Same thing was going on in Harquahala Valley a few years ago.

something like the Rodenator? Looks like too much fun to me! Pocket Gophers being blown away by the Rodenator Pro - YouTube

I would go with wheels. unless there are severe elevation changes in the field they are the safer choice. Know how many gpm's your pump puts out and nozzle accordingly. We irrigated hundreds of acres with wheels without any major issues. As they aged they would go to twisting drive axles but you get years of use before that starts happening. As to prairie dogs there may be a bait that can be used but secondary poisoning becomes an issue. I know of guys that use road flares down the holes. They claim good success but on a small scale.

I have a boat. The old lady and I are going to do an overnighter on the lake from Cattail Cove

Anyone been there lately? Thinking of going this coming week.
