It’s ok as long as you are comfortable leaving it till spring if you get a big snow dump

We’re thinking about it plenty as we plan funeral services for my unvaccinated aunt. 🤦‍♂️

Holy shoot that’s Ernie Harrold! Mr slow, sloppy and expensive himself. He was my first boss and introduced me to the trades. Awesome dude! Tell E congrats!

I haven’t heard anymore. I didn’t see any protesters (or bison) when I drove through two weeks ago.

This is like asking which truck is better… Toyota Tacoma or F350

Thanks for sharing. Looks like lots of memories for you two this year, congratulations. My son has a condition that causes foot drop and atrophy in his extremities. With the help of a couple of trekking poles and three reconstructive surgeries he still gets after it.

All leftovers have been issued to Randy Newburg.

I need better sons.

Last year was probably the best year on the Kaibab in a decade. The drought and winter range conditions hurt the fawn recruitment and certainly some of the herd numbers. However, I would say it’s tough to categorize the rebound as not happening very fast since it’s really only been a few months and not even a full season. Finally, tough conditions and pocketed deer isn’t necessarily an indication that the late hunt will be a flop. One big storm that puts significant snow in the transition range will force those mature bucks down into the winter range.

What. A. Buck. Congratulations to Aaron!

I don’t imagine it took long for them to wise up and get out of the candy cane as it is called.

Last I heard 2/9 shooters had killed bison. And when I was in the park last weekend and this summer the bison were not in the places we usually see them. I think the PS has their hands full.

That first female is a trophy doe!

Great to hear the report and congrats! Looks like you figured out how to hunt the timber. I’d say most AZ hunters shy away from the tall trees, especially compared to hunters from other states. As others have said, I hope your wife is back to 100% ASAP.

Earlier this year I made a public records request for the number of resident and non-resident archery deer non-permit sales. For a couple of years it has seemed like non-resident hunter numbers have been increasing so I decided to see if my suspicion could be confirmed with data. Below are the results: (If viewing from your phone turn sideways) 2018 2019 2020 Dealer sales- RES 20,832 19,890 21,125 Dept sales- RES 4,807 5,120 5,371 Dealer Sales-NRS 1,789 2,188 2,591 Dept sales- NRS 313 395 502

Hermit Cabin would be a sweet place to go find.

No NR cap on Javelina tags

That early snow may have pushed them into the oaks. When I passed through on Saturday we only saw 5 deer up top where we normally see dozens.

Last year Nash got straight A’s the entire year. As a reward we decided to go hunt antelope in WY. We didn’t have a lot of points so we had to hunt a unit with very limited public land and boy were the bucks skittish. Last night after a one mile stalk via an irrigation ditch this buck decided to go on a runabout and stopped at 150 to get a look at us. Nash made an excellent quartering towards us shot and the rest is history.

Yeah he sent me a text last night. I am sure he will go much faster than I did

Hiked Rim to Rim Saturday. Managed to ride my bike this AM but that’s all I could muster. Walking is hard.

Are you in Yuma? Healys is usually good about shipping.

Healys had it last week
