    Please define "desert units" in AZ

    Man there is desert all over this state, technically almost all of it is. But I would say in general terms that any unit south of the mogollon rim will have desert in it. Some units on the west side of the state along the Colorado River will have desert further north. You could sort of generally say that any of the 20’s units are partially desert, and anything 30’s or 40’s is primarily desert. There are a few exceptions to that but it’s a decent rule of thumb. If you are coming from a long ways out and want to see some desert landscape I would recommend scrolling around google earth and pulling up images in areas you are interested in. That should give you a good understanding of the landscape in those areas.

    Guess the score (updated with score)

    Dude almost every coues I have ever seen was narrower than its ears. That really doesn’t say much about a coues at all. That’s like saying he has eyeguards, or a white stripe around his nose.

    GMU 24B and Reavis Ranch??

    If you search the archives you will see other responses I have posted to this topic. But if you hike in to Reavis Ranch from the North you will pass better glassing habitat than you will be in when you get to the ranch. If you have time to pattern deer around the ranch you may be able to sit a blind or stand and try to ambush.

    Carbon fiber tripods (not mine)

    I have a CF promaster. Really nice. Not sure why I would pay 2x for an aluminum outdoorsman.

    Lots of lessons in this article!

    Correct. This genius only did one of the three. I believe this is the first ever conviction of a wolf poacher in AZ. These types of cases are incredibly hard to prosecute, you really have to incriminate yourself.

    Way to make the most of it!

    Thanks!

    Today I wanted to take a moment and be grateful for the CWT community. It seems weird to say something like that about a hunting forum, but it has become something much bigger than that. This year has brought a ton of new experiences for my family. Luckily the CWT family has been there for us all along the way. In January I was pig hunting when I got a picture message from my wife of my son’s gashed and bloody lip from a bike wreck. That started a series of events that lead to him being diagnosed with a condition called CMT 1A and resultant hip dysplasia. Since that time he has had one reconstructive surgery with another to take place in 10 days. I have shared parts of this on CWT and since I first brought it up tons of people have offered help and support. Just last night Adam leant is his crossbow so Hunter could squeeze in one more day of hunting on a donated late archery bull tag. We headed straight from his house to Sean’s and picked up his doe skull which Draysen cleaned for Hunter free of charge (btw he does awesome work, highly recommend him). Earlier this month Hunter has a donated cow tag and Houston spent morning and night for weeks before patterning elk for him and then spent the entire opening day out with us. Eddie Corona from OE4A provided not one but two elk tags and took time out of his very busy schedule to get the paperwork done for those and get them to us on short notice. Stanley and others provided tips and suggestions for Hunters first deer hunt on the Kaibab this year. There are so many people who have offered support, encouragement, prayers and anything else we could need. I even think AZKiller has offered some encouragement. I know it sounds cliche but it’s true that folks around here have become like family. During a year that could have been pretty challenging, it’s been the opposite, surgery has been a footnote to all of the great things that have happened! So thank you. It’s made all the difference. God bless all of you!

    How is YOUR coldbore?

    To answer the OP’s question at my age the bore is always cold and I can’t afford any warm up shots. More than once this has lead to fouling. I used to get upset but now I am just grateful to get to sleep earlier.

    All the ready mix concrete outfits are dying for drivers. Calportland in particular has a robust training program. Their good drivers who work max hours pull 6 figures, but they earn it.
