  1. Note that with turkey, the 20% is by unit so if the are just a few tags in the unit, ONLY ONE TAG goes to highest bonus point.  Wish they did like sheep and considered all units.  Took me 26 bonus points to finally draw Goulds.

  2. I doubt many of us get the opportunity to pull ourselves out often, maybe others, though.  I was surprised to see the tube itself failed.  I had never heard about not using the ball but it does make total sense, especially with the long moment arm of that drop hitch.  However, there does seem to be disagreement on using the pin and the author backs that up. I had never heard of a recovery kit, either. I'm a bit surprised that some of you did not go straight to don't drive a Ford?  Helpful video!   

    ps:  The one with the bolt on plate would not fail in shear, more tension and maybe flexure.  The stuck force is so variable depending on the mud and depth.  He really stuck that thing deep.  On the limited times I have been stuck, going forward has always been a mistake.  I got out being pulled backward 3 times I remember but they were not anywhere severe like this one.  Seems like experience is the real key and go find a professional.  Anybody like the author here in AZ? I bet that is sure expensive!  Would be good to have these type guys saved in your phone.

  3. 35A has great mule deer and whitetail deer.  Much of the mule deer land is private and you may have to work with that.  Lots of transistion land where you can find both so I would suggest that you keep an open mind and take advantage of all oppourtunities.  You will definitely need something likd On-Xhunt or other APP to show access and land ownership.  The powerline road on the 82 east of Sonoita is a great place to look for mulies if it is still open.
