Just got mine today

I didn’t think about phone service. Thanks for the heads up. I usually have my garmin inreach to text when service is spotty.

Great advice. Thank you !

I’m sure I will figure out lots on my scouting trips and depending on how bad the roads are because of weather, but does anyone have any advice on camping areas pulling a trailer ? thanks in advance.

I have the rifle tag. Good luck on your hunt!

I’m kinda undecided on the primary rifle but will be between a ruger 300wm, rem 700 300 wtby mag or a kimber 308 all topped with Leupolds. The ruger has been on the last couple hunts so will probably get the nod.

Finally drew a 13a strip tag. I had 16 resident points- 14 +hunter safety & loyalty. I’ve been to 13a & 13b a few times shed hunting 15+ years ago and hunted the kaibab (12AW) early and late with my son and friends a couple times over the last 10-11 years but have never hunted the area for myself. I’m beyond excited and anxious. I ordered a flatline map, a few quadrangle maps (7.5’) and have done an insane amount of e-scouting for others hunts, places to camp, hunt and azgfd spots to check out. I purchased 6 extra fuel cans (total of 11 now) and have 4 extra tires mounted on wheels/rims. I will have plenty of gear and backups just in case. I am 100% a DIY hunter and this hunt will be no different even though I know I will not draw this tag again. I do want to make the most of this hunt but I won’t hire a guide and seriously doubt I would even buy a scouting package. I come from a hunting family and have hunted CA, NM, MT, UT, CO, WY and my home state AZ for deer, elk and antelope since 1985ish. I am 52, in good shape and have been on lots of 2 week+ long hunts so I think this is very doable physically and mentally. I’m planning on 2-3 scouting trips, more if possible, (it’s around 7-8 hours one way from Queen Creek) and showing up around a week early before the 10 day hunt. I will be sleeping/cooking in my 16x16 wall tent (along with my cousin) and driving a 4x4 crew cab RAM diesel truck w/ shell pulling my 20’ enclosed trailer to lock up my supplies/gear and perhaps bring my SxS in. If anyone has any tips, ideas, info, banter or has the same hunt I would love to hear from you. Thanks in advance and happy hunting ! -Sig

We have always used pro surfacing for our (Affinity S.E.) epoxy at Boeing and Abbott and they do great work. Mike Rideout -623 694 0555 mike@prosurfacing.com

Camofire also usually has vortex hats which IMO are just as good, if not better than the Swarovski hats. LOL

Great seller buy with confidence

UPDATE- After 3 days, ended up turning dog into animal control. He was chipped and owner contacted. Apparently was missing for almost a month but never reported. Owner never came to pick him up. After a week in jail, my cousin ended up adopting him and taking him to cold and snowy Idaho. Perfect for the husky who has adapted well and goes to the office everyday.

Found a dog last night on a dirt road coming back to camp near superior. Asked the few camps that are around without luck.

Any trades ?
