  1. Was out today, windy. Had a big 4x4 run across road in front of jeep with nose buried in mule deer does behind. Did not pay us no mind. Doe on the other hand, did not want to wait around. She took Mr. Big over a small knoll and was gone in Palo Verde thicket slick as can be. It was a great day to be out. Best of luck to all.


  2. call me if you can't figure it out from the link posted above and I can walk you through it. basically pics have to be less than 2MB each or they are too large to post.

     

    When you make a post, sometimes you have to click on "use full editor" under the text box in order to see the attachment area for adding pics. That's because many of the subforums are set to fast reply where people can add a quick reply without pics. If you don't see something that refers to attachments under the text box, look for a green button that says Use Full Editor. and then when you click that you should see info on attachments.

     

    if you still have trouble, call me 928-200-0544....it's pretty simple once you figure it out for the first time...


  3. Been watching this and thanks for reply from dblung. something to think on. I was in a company sponsored class on team building, seated at tables with 15-20 folks per row. 10-12 rows in room. Excercise was: person on farthest left was handed a short paragraph on sheet of paper , read it and lean over and whisper to person on right what you read. Continue until last person on right got message. Message repeated at end--not in sync with original paragraph from left side. Point being, hunter A and B know what happened and that's how it is. Best of luck on future hunts to all.


  4. My friend passed on 2 opportunities this early hunt in 22. Opening morning on really big bull at 35 yards, just didn't give him the right angle to let the hammer down. Was close several times, just didn't present the shot. Following weekend same thing, 4 chances. Drew on one and held, not the right angle. Chose not to let the arrow fly. That is ethical in my book. Best of luck to all next year.


  5. Got drawn for a new to us unit (3rd choice), 24b Halloween Coues, and don't have a lot of info on it. Went to the map store and didn't really find much for maps that covered the unit with one choice since it sits in the corner of 4 maps and I didn't want to buy, carry 4 maps. I ended up buying a Tonto Forest map to start but did an internet search and found a site called www.huntunits.com It seems decent and the sample packet they have seems to be written by a GW. Does anyone have experience with this company/product? We have some connections with a few GW to get some info but wanted to get as much info to formulate and plan our scouting trips since it's not the easiest unit to get around in. Any other map suggestions would also be appreciated. Thanks!


  6. I have hunted down south and seen this same sort of thing also. Your decision not to shoot at that deer was a good one. Them fellas that were hauling that contraband were not packing iron for nothing. If they knew where you were as you stated, do not think that return fire would not have ensued had you shot at that deer. Rip offs happen daily out in the desert. Protecting that load is more important than a life to them. Good call on your behalf. Best of luck.


  7. While glassing in unit 22 out by Sunflower , I see a dirt bike rider coming down a trail. The fella was covered in green riding gear and riding a green dirt bike. I watched him negotiate a sharp turn and his front tire-handle bars were ripped from his grip, hit a rock it looked like. Anyways he gets launched like an arrow and hits the dirt. As I am watching him on the ground, I check my cell phone for service and it is good. I am wondering if he is going to get up or is hurt. The individual rises after a few minutes, and walks over to the dirt bike and proceeds to start kicking the crap out of the fuel tank--seat area. After he tires I guess, he lifts the bike up and has to kick start a few times and off he goes. Glad he got up and did not have to make a 911 call.
