I was in 22 scouting (again) for turkey and was on Fire Control Road NF and tow young girls about 16 came down it riding double on a quad, no helmets. Granted they were maybe doing 20mph and keeping the dust down and were probably locals. Then a few hours later I was looking for the road from Tonto Village up to Turkey Ridge (unsuccessfully) and came across a young kid, about 8, driving a Razor by himself. He was real courteous and pulled over both times to let me pass. The kids seemed to be ok and I hoped they have a safe travel. Yesterday morning a little after 5AM I had to pull over on the Beeline just north of the Saguaro Lake turnoff to miss a Wrong Way driver. Who know where he/she got on at. Hopefully not at Payson and there were quite a few people dodging them in front and behind me. I did at least do better scouting than on Saturday up off Hardscrabble with my son as that was a big goose egg, although we did see a WT Spike and a MD doe and heard some bulls. Yesterday I went solo and found one track about 5 days old and some old tracks, maybe a month or more, near Ellison Creek and Pyeatt.

Adam, I have a shell just like the one you show in the first picture that I found up in Unit 10. I also have found some snail shells in the same gray rock that Amanda posted just west of Pinto Mine.

Where in OK? I did some turkey hunting this past spring near Waurika. Had a shot at a hog but missed.

I feel your pain. I can get them sharp but it is hit and miss and at a certain point they only get just so sharp. I had a friend who would get them shaving sharp but he move to Iowa a long time ago.

Newbies! LOL

Used to be extremely popular in the 50's-70's and still is in AK and much of Europe.

I have an ACOG on an AR but I don't use it for predator hunting. If I did it would probably just be for fox. I much prefer my 22-250 and it has a 3x9 on it, they don't run off like they usually do with the 223.

My big game scopes have always worn Butler Creek Covers.

So are you a slave driver? Are they sleeping in a tent or an alley? You don't sound like a boss I would work for past the first day. They must be relatives and I hope the money you are saving you are passing it on to them as compensation or stock options. I don't think the labor laws permit that. How do you handle their per diem? McDonalds gift card?

Even though I can't see the action I have my doubt's that would hold a 50BMG.

I have two of these and both are over 10 years old. Well worth the cost. https://express.google.com/u/0/product/5344760135494960266_15709769060780181108_118724597?utm_source=google_shopping&utm_medium=tu_cu&utm_content=eid-lsjeuxoeqt,eid-ygcnqnyulq&gtim=COnXkJCVvbW1XRD_osjX2taFssABGJDYikEiA1VTRCiQ79rdBQ&utm_campaign=118724597 I also have this pad which is great. https://www.sportsmanswarehouse.com/sportsmans/TETON-Sports-Cot-Camp-Pads/productDetail/Sleeping-Pads/prod9999008368/cat100852?ref=google&gclid=CjwKCAjwio3dBRAqEiwAHWsNVXn-hhSGsPZqSIJXOty614TShSKydWJakS8U0BhVhErcgxzydlwXJBoCcO4QAvD_BwE

Some really big boulders would be better.

That has great ballistics so I would stay with it.

Once it is frozen put it in a collapsible cooler and take it as carry on. This way it won't end up being lost luggage. It will stay frozen up to 10 hours. FYI airlines will not let you use ice.

Kent, Do you remember a guy who ran a bait/tackle shop out of his house on McKellips? He also sold a few guns, I think his name was Al. Maybe around Lindsey or Val Vista?

Did your cousin say what caused the confrontation?

Those were some wild times for sure. I think the Sheriff Dept got tired of all the killings down there and closed the Lower Salt down about the time of the flood and blowing up Coons Bluff. You have a better memory than I.

The whole unit has elk so find some terrain you can navigate and hunt it.

Congrats. Sounds like it was pretty exciting.

Welcome aboard Shirl, that's what I call my Aunt Shirley so you have a great name. We have a few members from NM so I'm sure one or more will chime in soon.

Moved here in 76 when I was 24 and I can remember University being gravel past Greenfield and Fiesta Mall was a dirt lot where we would hunt rabbits.and we would camp out at the campground on the lower salt.

Went up to Woods Canyon Lake Tuesday afternoon with my son to camp overnight and could hear a few weak bugles around sunset and then again in the morning heard a few more from the same bull. Never saw any though. I have a 22 Turkey Tag so I will probably be in there Sunday and for the new few weekends looking for them. Hope to see/hear some bulls.

350?
