Well, I hate to admit this but my husband and I are maturing. We are looking to purchase a game cart to carry out deer. We mainly hunt in desert areas around Tucson. Does anyone have any recommendations of a game cart they have used in somewhat rough areas?

Thank you. I am using my laptop. I finally figured it out. It never dawned on me to keep hitting the back arrow on the calendar until it gets to the correct year. It took a long while to get to my year.

Please help. I trying to apply for Spring Hunts online. When I select my birthday is automatically puts the year for 2018. Then it wont allow me to go any further because I have to be at least 10 years old to apply for a hunt.
I must be doing something wrong if you all got past the birthday part. What am I not doing correctly? I have applied online numerous times in the past and have never had such problems. I have to agree. "New draw format sucks."

I'm so thankful for the wonderful weather we have in Arizona.
Please continue prayers for those effected by Hurricane Harvey.
A part of our wonderful country is in need. Let's help with this need.
I just made a donation to the American Red Cross and would like to challenge others to make a donation to the American Red Cross requesting the donation go to Hurricane Harvey or to the Americacares Hurricane Harvey Disaster Relief Fund. This is a way we can "all" help the victims of this horrific hurricane.
I tried to add the links to this post but was not successful in doing so. I am confidant you can find where to donate online.
For those who accept this challenge and make a donation I thank you in advance.

Congrats to both of you! I just got back from my turkey hunt and had the same experience with turkeys responding to our morning calls but going the opposite direction from our calling. We were not successful in downing a turkey but we still had a fine hunt in that we saw and heard turkeys four of our five days of hunting. The one time a turkey was actually coming into our calling two deer came nosily in, stopped, kept looking back and forth to our calling and the turkey. The tom decided to go elsewhere. Darn deer.

It is my opinion that using swear words devalues one's post and more important this site. I recommend this site to many people and "families" for info on hunting and want this to remain a site they can go to without having to be concerned about swear words.

Thanks for starting this subject. I have never came across such a thing in my outings but I still find this subject interesting.

Congrats!

One time while camping, my father in law, who's wheelchair bound, found a chainsaw in the middle of the dirt road we were camped on. I don't know how he was able to get it in his truck but he managed to He brought it to camp and told all of us that if someone came by asking for it, it would be in his truck. Not long after someone came by asking if we had seen one. It was a happy ending for all involved.
Hoping you'll have a happy ending in finding your father's rifle.

Once again congrats to you and Peg. Great story even if I did hear it first hand. Love the title!!! I am pleased the tortillas brought you good luck. Maybe I should take some of those "lucky" fresh tortillas to the next Women's Hunt. Did you ever find out who the people were that were camped by us? It looked like they had a serious jeep problem when we pulled out Sunday morning.
Say hi to Peg for me.

Shooter McGavin,

Last November on our way to a deer hunt we blew 2 tires on our toyhauler just west of Willcox on I-10. The toyhauler had massive damage due to the blowouts. Being around 8pm we had to leave overnight to get a second spare so it could be towed. Before we got back to it the next morning someone had broken out side and door windows and bent the door badly. Once in, stole a generator, a tent and some chocolate chip cookies.

I can now officially add predator hunting to my repertoire, a goal I've had for a few years now. On March 13th I went on the Southern Arizona Wildlife Callers' monthly hunt. What fun! I downed my very first coyote with my 223 and my very first fox with my shotgun. At one of our stands a bobcat came in within seconds of the FoxPro starting. Darin, my hunting partner for the day, hadn't even put his remote down yet. He got a quick shot off but missed. Lucky cat... We had a great time.
Sorry, I can't get the photos to stand up right. You'll just have to turn you head to look at them. LOL

Jon Vance and I mentored my son's girlfriend and my nephew's wife at the Women's Javelina Camp this year. Both ladies had a grand time. Their hunt included hiking, glassing up deer and javelina, and stocking which they were so pleased about. Both got set up on javelina. Only one got a shot off. Zaneta's javelina which TJ worded so well, was a "hog of a pig". When taken to the processor the carcass weighed 33 pounds!! This was Zaneta's very first hunt ever!!!! She downed the javelina at 124 yards with my contender on shooting sticks. I am so proud of her. Jen, our other hunter, can't wait for next year's Women's Javelina Camp. She has already gotten a friend lined up to go with her. I believe our photos will show what a great time we had. Both women repeatedly commented on what a great hunting camp it was.

Squirrel hunting question
in Small Game, Upland Bird, and Waterfowl Hunting
Posted · Report reply
I agree with the original poster of this topic. In unit 8 there is "a huge decline in squirrel numbers" compared to a few years back. We covered a lot of ground from opening morning to Sunday evening. We only saw 6 squirrels the whole weekend. We got 4 of those six. One of the other two squirrels was literally in someone's camp and the other one crossed the road in front of us at another camp. Among our camp was a lot of wondering from our hunting group on what has happened to the squirrels. Finding actural squirrel sign was like no where. We didn't find any squirrel nests. No signs of where they have been eating. Places which have had plenty of squirrels in the past years appeared absent of squirrels.
This year squirrel numbers were an improvement from last year. Last year we only saw 2 squirrels the whole weekend. One was a roadkill. The other was on posted private property.
I am interested in what has caused the obvious decline in squirrels.
