    White pickup on 403 road in 27

    It was Scott's friend Greg. I just ran into him again. Heading back out again after a quick trip back to camp. Who would have thought finding cows during the rut could be so tough!
  2. White full-size pickup. Stopped to talk on the 403 road in unit 27...i was in a brown F-150. you gave me some cow advice. Didn't notice your CWT sticker until after we parted. Thanks for the advice...

    Who's gonna be the first to post their elk???

    LOL!! I convinced my husband to take an extra day off next week and we are going up to Duwane Adams elk camp to help out where we can for a few days. Will be great to get out in the woods listening to elk! Maybe you should come with us! What unit is Duwayne's camp in?

    U of A Football

    Maybe a fluke but hopefully a sign of good things ahead if not this year...probably beat ASU, no on PAC-12, no on big name bowl this year.
  13. Football season starts this week, archery deer already open, dove season opens this weekend, and elk rut starting up. Man, this is my FAVORITE time of the year! Dec-Jan archery deer and bowl season a close second of course!

    The MOST wonderful time of the year

    Let me just say it again...camping in the mountains this weekend with the family listening to the elk bugle, came home to find out that my UT Vols and UofA Wildcats had both busted into the Top 25. On top of that, 5 days until I'll be back in the mountains chasing elk with bow in hand! The MOST wonderful time of the year...

    First Desert Shed...

    It's not much, but found my first desert shed this weekend. Actually only my second shed ever...I just don't seem to find them often. Probably a combination of not being out as much at the right time of the year and also I tend to be looking for animals more than looking down for sheds. I had thought about keeping an eye out for sheds on this stalk as well as looking down more often for rattlers since it was August in the desert. Anyway...my buddy jumped a couple of mulie bucks and we were tracking them out through the flats when I came across this shed. It was laying next to some backpacks and trash from illegals so I can't help but wonder if one of them had picked it up and dropped it there. It was right next to a fence, so may have just been coincidence. Still brown on the side that was to the ground and white and cracked on the upper side. No rodent damage although the brow tine and main beam are broken...I'm guessing that could have been before it was dropped though. Who knows. I don't know how long sheds last in the desert...do you think this is a few months old from earlier this year or from last year? coolest thing to me is how much I hunted this area last year I may have seen or even stalked this same deer. Who knows it could have even been one of the 2 bucks we were tracking when I found it. Now that I've found one, I may try to get out in the same area next spring and see if I can find more. I think I'm hooked.

    Early Rut ?

    Distant bugles all night long at Fool Hollow Lake. Wish the kids could have heard it but they were already asleep. Less than a week to go!

    Free Havalon knives from Eastmans...

    I can see how it might read that wy. The paper renewal offer I received is clear that it is 1yr of the journal plus shipping for the knife. And specifies both renewal and new subscription. I think this I a typcal Eastmans offer but in the past I've always seem various Primos calls as the freebie. And yes it's $25 for the subscription plus $10 shipping for the knife. Still cheaper than retail for the knife and get the magazine to boot.

    SB1070

    Not sure, but I am white and I have had to show identification every time I have been pulled over by a cop, pulled over by G$F, every time I have gone in to vote..........I don't undertand the problem. Maybe I should start throwing a fit every time somebody asks me for some ID.....puzzling.......... I always claim I was profiled when that happens...fat, white redneck driving a pickup. Usually gets BP to leave me alone. Not so great with G&F or police.
