There's talks of closing roads up on top of the rim. And at lunch the news said the snow level is supposed to be about 4500. Might wanna call ahead and double check conditions before hand... ...at the very least, go prepared and, let me know what you find, ha ha...were going next weekend

I seen a bunch of spots, but now they changed it this year...its below the rim. We were either going to go below the 260 (on the road to young) or on the west side by the boy scout camp closer to pine. Hopefully its not all snowed over

I went to the ranger station off of higley... I'd call and check for availability first. The gentleman that helped me said they were somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 tags opening morning. I went at lunch to get mine/ours, and there was a line out the door. this year, the tree cutting area is below the rim... which stinks... seen a lot of great looking trees on my buddy's elk hunt, in 4 a

ha ha... get a lasso and tie it to a tree until season comes around

Like everyone else above has said,... glassing is key. When to glass isn't really a question... but where to glass is. On colder days youll find them out sunning, mid day or when its warm, they can tuck up under a tree. I like to give my brother a hard time, on a family outing ... we came across some javelina. At first glance, they looked like rocks... but taking a moment, they moved a little... We took the kids to the wildlife world zoo when that happened. Out in the hill side a funny looking rock might be a sleeping pig, perfectly still. that website someone mentioned above is awesome. I know this is an older post (just got my leftover 37 a tag, so getting excited and thought id cruise this forum) ... theres a current thread in the campfire about tracking old sign. Fresh poop, or old poop is hard to determine... or even worse fresh poop.... Ive hit the same spot two days in a row, only to have them poop in my boot tracks from the day before.

Look into getting the Bull Dog canyon permit from Tonto. Basically its the are "interior" to the lake - river- mesa area. I t still is open to the public, but way less traffic than the top side of the lake or four peaks area

Were you 1/2 of that couple? ...you know better than to go poking around dark holes.

the taste test works 100% of the time to make sure you'll puke.... side note, not recommended for finding animals...just the "newb test indicator"

Dang it!... they also fit the heavier dodges.... The wife would be done with Christmas for me if they were 18's... don't want the added cost per tire for the rim size good luck with the sale

Took my step son out for jr javelina... We seen lots of sign in one wash.... he liked the area and gave him some say in where we went...so wound up in the same area two days. I knew they were in there.... because they sh!t in our boot tracks to prove it. ha ha .... Nature thumbing it's nose at us

did the buyer come through? i know someone looking

they trenched the road, then burmed the trench, then gated each side. You cand still get off and drive up to the gate on each side. i think from the south side, if you go psst the old adot building...you can take that dirt road all the way to the back of bartlett (?) its a trek though. We started scouting it once, but my buddy gave up. (i was just along for the ride , his tag and his scout trip). it was the early 90's becuase i remember seeing it. The top side is the 4 way of mt. ord

I remember my first deer hunt. I was so excited to find an area littered with sign... the older guy i was with showing me the ropes had this to say... "unless you see the deer putting those tracks down, there ain't no way to figure out how old they are". So my own strategy, especially if out hiking around. We normally look for an area with lots of sign... and try to hit it a few times. If you know youre going to be back in that same exact area... "sweep" a spot clean with your boot or a branch... then the next day you can check to see if theyre there. Javelina track in a wash is sometimes hard to read on the "freshness" scale. Sand does't hold a crisp edge... so it could be a day old track that looks older because of the crumbles.... come pared to trail dirt from a deer or turkey track

We upgraded my truck, then she picked out the "camper"... smart move on the used, had i known better... thats what i would have done. I'm surprised at how many little things go wrong. Weve had the trailer back to the dealer quite a few times for fixes. (some stuff, if i had to pay for it, i would have let it slide... but since it was under warranty, they got to fix it). We bought a starcraft bunk house. Its nice. Spent time in my buddy's jayco and another friends genesis (hey, i get around)... they both seem to have nicer features than the starcraft

I was told previously... we had 20 b javelina tags. My buddy changed his mind and decided he wanted join us on the HAM hunt. He seen there were leftover tags. That particular year, he contacted azgfd. they said it had to be post marked friday.... if it was earlier than friday they "file 9'd" it

a friend of a friend took one over in mesa. I haven't been in it yet, but based on relationship character alone, i'd say to go check it out. They've been open for about a year now. Route 66 pawn. (north side) main street between gilbert and stapely

IMS (Like Western said above my comment) they have a site at 48th st between broadway and southern (across from tempe diablo stadium) -and a Tucson one I haven't been to. they have precut shapes as well. they used to have different silhouettes but I haven't seen them for a while, might have to ask

again,... how is it conflicting information. they talk about "extra hunters" in the video... at 3:10-to 3:40 of the video, they talk about filling units with hunters. ha ha then at 4:05-5:00 Even the wildlife biologist talks about the scarcity of animals. ---- One thing they don't mention is I had heard at one point, they have a "multiplier" for tags. for example: they need the herd size maintained. If in a particular unit, they need 100 animals to be removed, they issue 400 tags. Because they need 100 animals to be removed, but they don't expect 100 hunters to be successful, so they over issue tags** to get closer to the target. **Footnote: while my example is not specific, they might spread the abundance in tags out over an entire species, not one particular method of take (although it feels like it on most hunts). Spreading it between archery, rifle, youth, etc

might check northern tool as well

Time to hi jack the thread...ha ha Whats the best E-range all terrain?

I'd try it

I might be mistaken,... but Basha's covers the spectrum: Food city, Bashas, and then AJ's I remember as a kid in chandler it was bashas or safeway... then the city got bigger, and the competition moved in. My best friend works for Basha's still... it's neat to see the "ol' home town grocer"... Hopefully they can keep rolling. I know they did a bunch of restructuring and have closed quite a few stores

My brother in law will do side work. Without "throwing him under the bus"... he works for a local company that sells windows and does installs... but he has also done installs on the weekend, on the side. It's all he's ever really done as a career. he knows his stuff... pm me for info

tractor supply!

This discussion came around the camp fire this past weekend at turkey camp. It didn't really sink in when we were talking about it, even though the morning we left I checked to see when the tags on my pop up expired, until I got the email from ADOT yesterday (see below)... I will pay it, (maybe,--- it'll probably spark a wildfire debate in my house because we just purchased a travel trailer last summer, and the wife's argument of "why are we keeping this" will take another nail in the coffin). I just think its funny that the tax is 3 times the amount of the actual tag. The vehicle registration for your 1979 COLEM TE, will expire May 31, 2019.
