    Monsoons?

    Crazy, 10 day forecast puts us past the middle of the month while still not showing hardly any action!

    Monsoons?

    Lol. I’ve always said -10 and 110 were more breaking points. At those temps it hurts and I’m staying inside.

    Monsoons?

    This is exactly what I’m worried about! With the exceptional amount of growth AZ has had and now hot and dry once monsoons do finally show up they are usually weak to start with dry lightening. Bad recipe.

    Rivers are Running!! Fill them lakes up

    A lot of projections for Powell this year are around a 70’ rise. If it did rise 70’ it would still be under 50% of full capacity. I believe it would be somewhere around 46% of capacity. Although still far from full 70’ rise would be huge! Full capacity is 3700’ elevation and right now it’s below 3550’ still a believe.

    YOUTH ELK HUNT ADVICE

    I’ve got 4 daughters ages 8, 11, 13, 15. They all hunt except the youngest as of now but she will be doing her hunters safety soon once she turns 9. The oldest 3 especially the oldest two have shot several animals already out to almost 600 yards. I think the most important part is NO running and gunning! Got to have a calm kid and calm animal so they can take their time and I always get my girls prone if possible which so far has been almost 💯 of their shots. I had my 13 yo (then 12) set up on 75-100 elk coming over a fence that had been pushed anywhere from 86 yards to 150 yards but they would not stop, kept trotting so we let the opportunity pass. She ended up killing one 2 days later but the last thing you want your kid doing is blowing off legs and or missing/rushing that’s a good way to get them discharged and create target panic. Practice is also key! I take them out shooting often and I believe what had really helped my oldest was shooting a lot of prairie dogs with a .17, it sure helped her pick up animals in a scope a lot quicker then her sisters that haven’t shot prairie dogs as much. You have to make it enjoyable for them too. I know sometimes us adults can get caught up in the hunt and grind. You have to be careful not to run your kid into the ground. Sometimes it means taking a morning or evening off but you don’t want them to look back on the hunt like it was miserable. One more thing like mentioned above they are definitely my favorite hunt of the year!

    NM Unit 24/Fort Bayard

    Hi guys, My 15yo daughter drew a NM tag again this year! Last year she drew a December 27 coues tag and with the help from a couple guys on here it was a success and very appreciated! This year she drew a unit 24 youth hunt which is any antlered deer and the youth are granted hunting access to the Fort Bayard area. Has anyone had any experience with the area?

    Monsoon season 2023

    The past two monsoon seasons have been incredible! I think there was either near or broken records as far as moisture goes.

    Ground Blind Recommendations

    Someone on here sold their original Double Bull a couple years ago. It got to it too late! That one still hurts! 😂

    Ground Blind Recommendations

    Double Bull used to be the best. They are still good but before Primos bought them out and changed the material they were great. I think Barronett makes a pretty good one too.

    Radio’s

    Coues Deer tail colors

    That’s cool! Top one almost looks like it’s got a little mule deer in it (hybrid). I’ve seen a lot with red in them too.
