Little Creek Calls

Here are a few pictures of the call I am entering into the national call making contest this year. Just finished making it last week and feel it turned out great. It's a slate call in a Arizona Walnut pot with a Mesquite striker.

Looks like you might be getting some snow. If you do one of my favorite ways to hunt unit 1 in the late season is after a good fresh snow (6”+) get out in one of the no motorized entry areas and find fresh tracks and follow them. It usually doesn’t take long before you catch up to them if they haven’t been spooked. When you catch up if its still morning and they haven’t bedded yet it will be close, under 100 yards and they usually don’t know you are there. Just be sure to have a GPS and know how far from a road and how long of a pack out you are getting yourself into. Even if you spook them you can usually catch up after a mile or so.

How much for just the speed ball?

Call the phone number, 602-942-3000.

That's great Mark! Where did Kathi put in?

I have had several electric smokers, an offset charcoal smoker and have been using a Yoder pellet smoker for the past 5 years. I have liked them all but would never go back from using a pellet smoker now. There are different things you can do to get almost the same flavor out of a pellet smoker as you can out of charcoal or electric. First is using a smoke tube that burns pellets and goes on the grill with the food. You get more than double the smoke output than your normal pellet smoke. You can also use it and get smoke at any temp using the tube, super hot bake or almost no heat in a cold smoke because it is not burning in the fire box. Another option is mixing in charcoal pellets with your hard wood pellets. My ultimate smoker would be the Yoder YS1500. It's to bad there is no longer a Yoder dealer in AZ and shipping is to expensive (around $550 to ship the YS1500, they are really heavy and come assembled on a pallet).

What is his recipe for the BBQ sauce? It looks and sounds great. We juiced some a few weeks ago and I still have some frozen juice in the freezer.

Sean I will take them.

I have a couple family members with hunts starting Friday. Both already have antelope mounts on the wall. How much are you wanting to spend on a cape and I will see if they are interested in selling? FYI Your PM inbox must be full it wouldn't let me send to you.

Seems like I remember hearing that years ago there were reintroduced Merriam's turkey in 29 and 31 but cant remember where I heard it.

In my opinion it is a female cutthroat. Your other picture is of a male cutthroat and that is the reason it is more colorful and has a bigger mouth.

We used Lacorti's in Fredonia a few years back for meat processing and were really happy with his work. My Dad will use him again for his 13A antelope this year.

The White Mountain Apache Tribe are also doing closures. Basically any lake off the paved road very far are closed. http://wmatoutdoors.org/wp_view.html?pageid=13

Brown and brook Trout spawn in the fall and rainbows, cutthroat and Apache trout spawn in the spring.
