There is a BF Ranch in 36b...

I just hope the closure lasts thru the early elk hunts... can't wait to see all the people calling for closures to change their mind and start complaining about their rights being violated.

Gotta watch to see the reality of what goes on on our border. Special Report: Reality of the Border:

What I was told is that the Coronado and the Coconino were already in the planning stages and it is just a matter of time. Last time they did it, a couple of forests closed, then the rest followed suit quickly after. Pray for rain!

Wearing the rubber off of your boots will help... these are a few that I found this year that are not on maps...

My bad Edge, I swore the topic of this thread that you started was "State Land Trust Question". State Land rules says you must only be 1/4 mile away from a residence. Sorry to ruffle your feathers.

No such thing as a 1 mile rule... I love it when people make stuff up!

Dangit! I wish I had the tag this year! What would be a good caption for the first pic? "Hey, Want to go back to my place?"

Anything ever come of the last meeting?

Possibly

You need to Calibrate the compass. Every time you change the battery or travel a long distance from where you used it last, you will need to calibrate the compass. Pretty simple, select menu from your compass page and select "calibrate". Then you usually turn slowly in a circle 2 times and it is calibrated. It is different on different modules, but look it up in your manual or Google how to do it for your model.

Let the excuses begin scumdevil fans...

Just called...No one answered... now what? I called earlier and the lady said they don't have anymore information than what is on their web page.

I used to guide with Rincon Outfitters, before I retired from guiding, and can say for a fact that Rom Dryden knows unit 27 as good as anyone. Check out his Rincon Outfitters web site and look at all the elk his clients take. It speaks for itself.

I wouldn't say don't hunt down south, but I would recommend that you don't take a knife to a gun fight. Go prepared, which means you can never have to much ammo. I have seen mules and armed dope loads on multiple occasions while hunting in southern Arizona. Even got shot at by armed mules in 35b several years ago. But you know what...I still go and hunt down there. Maybe its the side of me that likes living dangerously, or maybe its the beautiful country and abundance of wildlife that draws me back. Not real sure. But I can tell you its not for the faint of heart!

Just grin him to death...

Did you see the guy's name scratched in the rock down there?. I knew the idiot that did it. Gave him all sorts of grief for defacing a historic area. What are you talking about?

I put a muzzle brake on my 7mag and had the trigger lightened... and my son shot it when he was 10 years old for his hunt.

Best one I have found yet... 3 mile hike in from the nearest road... even the native Americans liked to have fun...

Without humans? Without human management and human technology our deer, elk, and duck numbers would be 1/4 of what they are today. Game populations have exploded under human management in North America.

AZ Game & Fish specifically says using a thermal imaging devices is a good way to view wildlife with out disturbing them in their nocturnal habitat. http://www.azgfd.gov/outdoor_recreation/watchableWildlife/OpticalEnhancementsWildlifeWatcher.shtml Also R12-4-303 says you you may not use thermal imaging devices to take an animal, but says nothing about using them to scout. Many hunters have used them for scouting for several years now.

Amanda, can we create a new section of the talk forums for people who just want to bash other hunters. You can put this new section right next to the section Tony wanted to create for people who wanted to. Criticize the AZ G&F. Call it "Tony's Corner"?

What part of the Santa Ritas?
