    Unit 29 Leftover Tag

    That's too bad, did it get that washed out? There was always some water running across the road just before Mexican Camp but usually never more than six inches.

    Unit 29 Leftover Tag

    I used to hunt it every year back in the late 80's early 90's when there would be 1000 tags and you could also get a second tag. Mulies down low and WT were a bit higher. We would come into Horseshoe Canyon and camp at Mexican Camp, never saw any illegals except those being detained by BP. Rough country and no roads other than the one in and out. We never encountered any other hunters in the field back then, a few bears, parrots, coati's, javelina, an all white WT buck and one year a big all black wolf. No sure what access is like into Horseshoe nowadays.

    'YOU DIDN'T TAKE THAT PICTURE'

    Those two look like they would swindle their grandmothers.

    No trash talk?

    Hunting and fishing are my sport. I don't follow any teams or watch any sports at all. I have been to a couple of baseball games, one Sons and one Coyote game when I was given tickets. Never been to an NFL game, just doesn't interest me.

    Snake River Browns (and a few other)

    No Way! That is pretty incredible.

    What's the big deal

    Before the internet it wasn't much of a big deal to say what unit and there were less hunters, fewer hunts and more game. Now every Tom, Dic and Harry can spend a Saturday afternoon using GOOGLE searches to come up with pictures and stories then narrow down units. The more people put in for a unit the more the odds of getting drawn decrease. Some peoples initial response when a hunter posts a picture right off the bat is "what unit", not even a "congrats" which irks most people. Kind of like being on a hunting FB page and some clown shows up and their first post is all about hunting their high fence ranch, or worse selling cheap sunglasses. If a hunter offers up what unit on their own that's fine but it shouldn't be asked publicly.

    Unit 1 Bull tag filled

    Great bull. If you open the photo with Microsoft Picture Manager you can adjust the brightness or if you email it to me I can do that and send it back.

    Camera Etiquitte

    Scouted a spot over the weekend in 23 that I have come close to outwitting those dumb turkeys in the past and walked a few water holes during midday looking for telltale tracks. I didn't see any cameras and these few tanks were right on the sides of the road. Did a fair amount of walking too and didn't see any cameras but since I don't have any out there but it doesn't really effect me anyway.
  12. Access isn't too much of an issue and he can get a BLM map that will also show private property. Pepper Sauce south of Oracle is a good place to start. It's a big unit but I would concentrate my efforts in elevations from 4000 to 6000 feet. https://azgfdportal.az.gov/hunting/units/tucson/33

    Firearm insurance and home security

    That's how it works since they already settled with you they now are the owner, say thing when a car gets stolen and they pay you a settlement and car gets recovered a few weeks after you have been cut a check.

    Labs

    That stinks, I really like the way the English Labs look though, good luck on your search. I have some friends over there if you can't find one here.

    Alaska moose hunt

    Well, I like being to get back to a cabin or shack each day, or at least a tent. No bear fence? Does that motor have a prop? What bag did you have along?

    6A newbie

    One year I passed on an old 5x5 bull in the bottom on a canyon in 23 because he was walking uphill to my left at about 40 yards and I didn't feel comfortable with the shot with my skill as an archer on a moving target. A few years later up in 12AW I passed on a easy shot on a tall 4x4 as he ran across a meadow about 50 yards away on opening morning of rifle season because I felt there were bigger deer to be had. Next day weather moved in and I didn't have another opportunity the rest of the hunt, so it goes. No regrets just memories and I'd do the same thing if presented with the same situation.

    getting in early am

    I have a headlamp but usually it is off and I have a LED flashlight that is about 850 lumens that I hold on to and keep it on the lowest setting. Less glare than the headlamp and seems to work ok for me.

    Brand new hunter

    http://store.iqmetals.com/trophygold3006168VLD.aspx He is a one man show but ships quick when he is home as he sometimes goes out of town.

    Bass fishing for a beginner...

    Bass AKA Green Carp are no problem with a spinning reel so your GTG. I really like P-Line Floroclear line. If you decide to get a baitcaster any of the Abu Garcia Record Reels is what I would choose.

    What do do with my elk head in camp

    Bag it with some ice. It will be OK.

    What do do with my elk head in camp

    Just get the water to a boil and put it in but don't keep it boiling or the teeth can come out. Let it sit for an hour then use a coat hanger to get the brains out and to clean out the nasal passages. Then repeat it again. I have also heard of people using a pressure washer but I don't know at what PSI.
