Late notice but something to do for the weekend if you're available. Event is Free, you'll only need to purchase your $5 habitat stamp if you haven't already. Entire Reservation was open (including Closed areas) during previous hunts and I would assume the same for this year. If you plan to hunt Mtn Lion you'll need to purchase a $15 Lion tag which is good for the remainder of the calendar year. Only listed predators (Coyote, Fox, Bobcat, Coatimundi) can be called in with electronic callers. DAN

Fire in Bylas yesterday near the Rez line. DAN

Lonesome Dove, The Searchers, Man from Snowy River, Dead Man (J.Depp), Across the Great Divide. DAN

We weren't able to get on San Carlos yesterday due to the extreme low level (1.1%), however there are still some reports of catfish and bass and maybe crappie being caught from shore. As the Lake continues to drop in water level I'm sure another die off of what's left will occur. We did get on Talkalai Lake and the results were excellent. Plenty of Bass all around the Lake and the Crappie are actually a little early compared to previous years. 13 pounds were the two Big Bass of the day and a solid 3 lb crappie. DAN

Hunting, Fishing, and Recreation on San Carlos for Non-Members is currently OPEN as of today. Permits will only be sold at the Department office off Hwy70 at mp 272.5 in Peridot AZ at this time. CDC Guidelines will still be in effect with any gatherings limited to 50 people or less, wearing of masks while in close contact with anyone, sanitizing, etc. If anyone has specific questions I can always be of service at 928.200.2209. DAN

Kuiu Attacks in VIAS (New, worn once not in the field) sz 32 $125 Kuiu Attacks in VALO (Like New, worn a handful of times but not much field use) sz 32 $110 Both are Regular length but the VIAS is easily an inch or so longer (5'10" here). PM or 928.200.2209 for further details, located in Globe but can arrange delivery. DAN

No Predator permit required for this event, just the $5 habitat stamp. Predator population is high due to the closure, this management event will provide some relief. DAN

To my knowledge all that's needed is the stamp. Since it's Free this time around no need to purchase anything additional besides the $15 Lion tag if you're wanting to go after one with hand calling. DAN

Today the Tribal Council approved Small Game and Waterfowl hunting for Non-members on San Carlos. The department office will have permits for sale starting tomorrow (12/30/20). Normal business hours are 8am to 430pm M-F and 8am to 12pm Sat. You will be required to have a recent Covid19 negative test on your person at all times and also adhere to cdc guidelines such as wearing of mask around others you may encounter and social distancing. There are various checkpoints entering the community areas which you will need to show your hunting permits to pass through and on to the hunting areas. Although we suffered several large wildfires in some prime quail habitat, there is an abundance of birds which need thinning out! DAN

Just spoke with LE and there's no such rule as traveling 1 hunter per vehicle. The overall rule is still "Less than 10" but again I would still suggest keeping things to a minimum as much as possible. DAN

There's nothing in black and white to my knowledge but with that said I would assume members of different households would be required to travel in separate vehicles OR to keep things to a minimum with only 2 hunters per vehicle. Any regulation of course is at the discretion of the Rangers and the bottom line is Tribal Council approved these hunts based on the department's assurance that Everyone would be following all Cdc guidelines/practices to minimize the spread. The direct number to the LE dispatch office is 475-2236 and you can request to speak to a Ranger if present or leave your number for one to get back to you.
