  1. I have been doing some scouting in 23, and was wondering how busy the NF-71 road gets (its a pretty nice road). It seems to be a great central location for camp as you seem to be able to access the east and west side of this unit off of this road (turns into NF-609), but is it loaded with camps during the Oct-Nov hunt? I will be packing into places during the day and wont be spending my time hunting the roads, I ask more or less if there is a better place to camp with access to more country within the unit. I will be making more trips before the hunt to do more scouting but it is like a 5 hour drive for me and I appreciate any advice anyone is willing to offer.


  2. ​I have been from the low desert to the high deserts and mesas, I have found the rut to be spotty at times. I have seen a few really good bucks out chasing, but very few of the bruisers that are normally seen this time of year chasing. Not saying I have not seen any, just a lower number of them. Have also seen bucks running together rather than chasing off and only a few fights seen.

  3. Wanted to get the photos posted before I hit the hills again. This was a spot and stalk at the last bit of day light across a wide open meadow for 800 yards.I was able to hit the tree line. I was able to snake an arrow through a 24"X12" window at 90 yards ( I practice this shot frequently). Arrow went through both front shoulders and this buck only went 80 yards before expiring with a 20 yard follow up shot.


  4. I like to make my own rub with cumin, granulated garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and oregano. I rub the meat with the rub, lattice bacon and wrap around the loin. I personally won't marinate this cut of meat, but when I marinate a tri-tip I use the liquid Montreal seasoning and I put an Moose Drool beer and marinate over night. I set the smoker at 225 degrees and use pecan chips for 4 hours give or take on how rare you like your meat.

  5. There are some good spots off the 403 road and there are some good spots on the 26 road that can fit 3 trailers. while yes there are a lot of people up there, there are plenty of places to camp and fit 3 trailers. The earlier you can get your trailer up there the better camp spot you will get.
