The people that bought the Judd ranch ,say there will be no buildings in that meadow. Will keep it open for the Elk. We will see. there is so many people moving into Alpine its going to heck anyway.

Same Guy.

Californian has applied for a permit to build a 111 space RV park in the meadow at Alpine.

Mighty strange, Mt. lions don't normally thrill kill. This looks more like the work of dogs or wolves.

The pelts will flesh out much easier, after they thaw out. Much easier than when they are fresh.

Forget the knife, just get a pressure washer with an oscillating tip.

I was hoping to catch a desert big foot

Very difficult to stalk an animal that stalks other animals for a living. They are pros. Humans are armatures

what ever you can get ammo for

Plenty of blame to go around. Every time the FS tries to thin the forest ( logging. thinning, proscribe burn, anything) the tree huggers file law suite. Campers can't enjoy the forest without setting it on fire. Environmentalist faint at the thought of forest management. heck lets just blame it all on Trump and it will be all right.

Take a drive to downtown Alpine AZ. You will see elk, cattle and horses eating ,drinking and playing together, day and night.

The FS fire crew found 18 illegal campfires and 8 abandon campfires this weekend.

Covid-19 is natural selection or law of the jungle . When the population of animals, such as rats, cats, fox or whatever overtake there environment a disease or virus will accrue and reduce the population. There are more humans on the earth than the plant can support. We are running out of water, clean air and common sense. Mother nature will take care of the problem.

Hey Jeff, sent you a PM

Coyotes don't have white feet or socks and hold there tail down. Wolves hold there tail almost parallel with their back bone when in motion. The best way to tell is when you stop your vehicle and you see a streak of dust going over the hill, its a coyote, If it is waiting to see if you are going to feed it, then its a wolf . Have plenty of both around my house.

Nope that is one of their hybrid part dog wolves , a young one

I don't know where you are going hunting but in my neck of the woods, every drainage and low spot has water running or standing in it. The rain and snow we received last night just added to it. Forget sitting on a water hole unless you like a wet butt. Turkeys can drink anywhere.

The blue pretty mineral you are seeing is Azurite, a byproduct of copper. Some is soft some is hard but not hard enough for jewelry. I use it to fill in cracks in wooden bowls a table tops. Crush it to a powder and mix it with super glue or resin, looks like the cracks are inlayed with turquoise

Yes it is

Best post and best advice I ever read.

Selling some pelts to pay for my hobby.

Best ones bringing $100 bucks if put up right

Good luck with that

Nobody can enter any part of the forest except emergency people and law enforcement
