Little Creek Calls

Ill take the pontoon and L-R waders if still available. PM sent.

If you know where to go and know what you are doing you could get it done in a couple days. If you are wanting 12" or better the brook trout will need to come out of a lake and not a stream. You will also need to go to mt graham if you want to include Gila trout.

I switched to a red dot two or three years ago. Haven't missed a turkey since I switched. I use the vortex venom.

Sean I will take one. Give me a call and we can figure out a time to meet up.

My advice would be to stop in at Lee's ferry anglers at cliff dwellers buy a few flys and talk to Terry and Wendy Gunn. I am sure they will point you in the right direction for the walk in and be able to answer questions about other access points and trails. Report looks good 7 out of 10 for the walk in. https://leesferry.com/river-report/

They always have over 300 fall turkey tags left in 12A, I don't think that many more hunters put in for fall turkey. Deer leftovers have been drying up the last few years but there will be a list with at least 12A turkey leftovers.

I have been using a Yoder for 8 or 9 years and it is still running great. Cant beat the american made thicker steel construction. Gilbert fireplaces & BBQ (Gilbert & Warner) became an authorized dealer last year. They are a little more expensive than your Traegers, green mountain and pit bosses but like meatu said definitely a step up. They all come pre-assembled from Yoder but they are heavy 300 + pounds of solid steel.

Sean where are the pictures of your 2019 bull from Clay?

One of my favorite ways to prepare wild turkey, looks great. Congratulations on a nice bird.

"Heat" aka Nick is from Yuma.

I have been hoping to get a call like that. I figured with everything going on there would be a few Gould's tags turned back in. Unfortunately someone else had a better draw number and got the call before me in the unit I put in for. Hopefully I get the bonus pass tag next year.

This is the correct answer. Doing your homework scouting and knowing the pattern of the flock will pay off big time on windy days. Work with the wind in your face and you will be able to hear them better. Only down side is you will have to move in closer so they can hear your calling. It can be a lot of fun waiting for them to walk over a ridge or behind trees so you can cut the distance. A couple years ago on a super windy day I followed a flock from a distance for a mile or so before I was able get close enough for them to hear my calling, they came running when we got close enough for them to hear. We could hear them but they couldn't hear us.

And I heard from a friend that spurs are all busted up from fighting. What a crappy year, short beards and busted spurs.

I have been doing a little research as well. Just curious if you have found any you are most interested in? If money wasn't an issue I think I would go with the Tetra AmpPods 90 programmed for turkey. I talked to the owners at the NWTF national convention and it seems like a great product but even with the 10% NWTF discount it is a little more than I want to spend.

You are going fishing along Bonita, Pacheta, Hurricane and Reservation creeks. Buy a daily fishing permit and take along a fly rod. There used to be a closure in some areas for apache trout reproduction but I think it might have changed because I don't see it in the current fishing regulations any more.
