  1. When I was a kid a drunk field worker in Harquahala Valley died from a bite.  He had it in a gunny sack and somehow it got hold of him in the web of his hand  and wouldn't let go.  That wasn't 94  years ago but it was a long time ago and he is dead from the bite.


  2. Don't know much but I have noticed less deer activity  on a full moon than dark. Also the more rain the less activity on water. Type of terrain influences deer activity during rain. Rocky, mountainous areas tend to have more potholes.  I hunt an area a quarter inch of rain will shut off deer hitting catchments for a month 

    But, I hunt when I can.

    Last thing I want is a draw for archery.  Most all the Coues archery hunts don't come close to hitting the quota.  People are pissed that they don't get to chase muleys in the rut and I get it, kind of sucks.  But a few years of this is really going to help the mule deer.

    It will help quality IMO but I am not sure how much it will affect overall numbers. One buck can breed a bunch of does.  Guess time will tell.

    If they would cut out the Dec hunts and slide it into Jan like the 45 units it would let bitchers like me hunt the rut without going to a draw.  I don't think that is going to happen. I guess I should be thankful to still be able to hunt with what time is available.

    So what are we talking about then?

    i don’t think any desert units were closed from the quota last year except maybe 33 muley but it probably wasn’t closed either 

    They shut 42 down in one of the best big buck ruts I have seen in a long time.
