So cool. That will be a great adventure! Looking forward to it.

June is the by far the best month for pictures so as long as they are out before then, I am happy. Usually put them out in the middle of May.

It takes an hour and 35-45 minutes from Young Road to most parts of Mesa no stops.

Holy spurs !! What a fantastic looking bird. Nicely done!

Congrats that is very awesome, what a tough hunt.

I've been going multiple times a year for 26 years ( might have missed 2 or 3 years ) first of May is on average the soonest you would want to go...my bet is that with the moisture may 15th would be about the soonest. But who knows..add me to the pm list...:)

Bob- baiting is one of my least favorite ways to "hunt" but I treasure the time I got to spend on the rez baiting bear with my sons. I traded work for the opportunity and I will treasure that time as much as any I've ever had. Absolutley nothing wrong with it. It is such a better way to manage bears. We passed up over 40+ young bears in 2 different hunts before I shot a big mature bear.

It has become way too common place. So sorry to hear Jason, my thoughts are with you and the family.

Tundra if you are planning on keeping it and if you dont mind the limited mpg. I have 210k on my 2010 and the only thing mechanical is that I lost my fuel pump in Dec at 208k miles and I put a stick through the radiator.No leaks anywhere and still doesn't burn oil...You have seen where I take mine on an almost daily basis. It is my wood getting truck, hunting rig and daily driver.. I do wear tires fast after I torqued my frame couple years back after hitting the end of a tow strap too many times. Consequences of getting calls in the middle of the night. My father has an 01Tundra that had fuel pump replaced at 230k. No leaks at all and has 345k on it right now..my brother still uses it as a daily driver still. I am sold on the strength and reliability of a Tundra, I have owned a fair amount of trucks but dont see myself owning anything different. That being said there are plenty of good trucks out there but not many that will give you good service over 150k.

They didnt shoot them accurately past 300 or 400 yards either. Recoil isnt about how tough you are. Smh

It is always crazy to see what happens to antlers. I posted this before but worth seeing again. Very unique antler configuration. I'm betting damage in velvet also.

We have had it pretty good since monsoon season. This was in June.

I would bet they dont have the resources to keep everything open on a storm that comes through every 20 years or so. I would rather them close it than waste all those resources in years we dont get anything. Everyone knew this was coming plan accordingly
