No pictures can do justice to just how cool this event is. My kids and wife loved it. We all had a great time and it was nice to see other forum members that I already new and meet some new ones. I want to say thank you to everyone involved in making this event happen. We can't wait to go back next year.

AZ Hiking Shack is having a parking lot sale. I stopped by and they had some really good deals on some very high quality boots like Lowa and Scarpa. If you're in the market for boots you might want to check it out.

And to answer the original question. Yes, I will take my kids down there when they are old enough to hunt, without hesitation.

I have hunted down in 36B and C now for the last 20 years or so, since I was 12. I have never had anyone mess with any of my stuff or take any of my food or water, and I always leave some in plain sight. I have seen illegals only 3 or 4 times, 1 dead body(the only time I ever hunted in 36A), 1 long since abandoned bundle of marijuana and plenty of evidence of them being there. That's it. That being said, I do not camp down there alone, I always go with a family member or friend, I always carry a sidearm and I am always very aware of what's going on around me. There definitely is a different feel than if you're a non-border unit like 24A. I really want to do a backpack hunt in the Baboquivaris but I'll admit I'm too uneasy(afraid) to go do it by myself. Anyone want to go with me???

Congrats!!!! Enjoy every second of it. Seems like only yesterday my daughter was born and she's already going on 10 and has 3 younger brothers.

I feel like this needs a bump to the top since it is only a week away.

Imagine if they don't stumble upon this one stolen handgun. This would probably still be going on undetected. Not to mention how many pawn shops there are in the valley. I wonder how many others operate that way.

Just to put into perspective how bad they are right now think about this one for a minute. If the Cubs lost their next 4 games they would have the same record that the Dbacks have right now! For the record, the Cubs are in last place in their division.

I just talked to a friend who made a similar mistake with 17 bonus points !!!! His buddy did the application and they drew unit 23 late rifle bull. Still not a bad tag but nobody waits 17 years for a late elk tag anywhere.

I hope you still have this a few months from now. I will be in the market at that time.

I personally don't know any men that have an issue with the whole age thing. All the birthdays listed daily on this forum have the ages next to the person's handle. Is it supposed to show up under their profile picture??

I got a mt lion and a gila monster in the same trail cam shot. I don't know how many times I looked at this picture before I ever noticed the gila monster. Look closely to find it.

I have this rangefinder and love it. I have gotten readings out to 1000 yards with it. It does compensate for angles and also gives quick accurate readings even at very short distances.

That would make an awesome mount. Cool pictures.

^^^^ My thoughts exactly ^^^^

2 minutes??? I never had a chance. If this falls thru I would like to be next in line.

Great job Aubrey and Ryan!!!!! Thank you for sharing your hunt pictures and story with us.

Man that's a smokin' deal. If I was in the market for a glassing setup I'd be all over this.

Sorry about your truck. I had mine stolen and by the time I had called the police it had already been found torched. I had to make my monthly payment 3 times after it was gone before the insurance paid it off. Not to mention my 6 month premium went up $250. It was these guys that did it: http://www.azcentral.com/community/mesa/articles/20130411numerous-arrests-made-series-arson-fires-abrk.html

I have this same rangefinder and love it. Great deal for anybody in the market for one.

Congrats to you and your wife. I've never met you but after being on this forum for over 8 years I feel like I know you at least a little. I've always enjoyed your stories and pictures and have learned from them. I'm sure you and your wife will be amazing parents. Looking forward to the big announcement and pics.
