My son drew his 2nd choice 12aw antlerless for his first deer hunt. Due to the weather we got a room in Kanab for the weekend. We had just enough time to drive through the unit Thursday before dark but didn't see any deer. We were joined by his cousin and my brother in law. Friday morning had mom spotting bucks all over the place up high. Between glassing and driving we saw 17 bucks and no does by lunch time. After lunch and some exploring we changed elevation and started seeing some does. We got busted on our first stalk but right before dark we spotted this doe moving through some oaks. Jase and I made a quick stalk and I stopped her with a bleat in a small opening. He made the most of it and shot her at 150yds off my tripod with his 300wsm. She jumped at the shot and ran out of sight. Everyone came down to help us track. Before we even found blood i glassed down the hill and saw an ear in the grass. I handed Jase the binos and told him to look where he last saw her. It took him a min but when he saw her he got the biggest smile I have ever seen. After pics we navigated the new etag app and got her gutted. While we were skinning her G&f stopped by and said he would tell the check station to wait for us. We got her checked in 15min late. It was nice of them to wait for us. Back home Saturday we got her cut up and Jase cooked us steaks for dinner. Great memories were made!

He just got back from a long trip so he sat this one out.

The weather held out for us up north. Jase got his first deer right before dark.

We will see. Heading up for my son's first deer hunt Thursday. Hopefully we don't get rained out.

This morning we had incredible action for about 30min. Hopefully it's the same tomorrow.

Tonight we saw a herd of 15 cows with 2 spikes. No bull around.

8 has been super quiet. We found a couple but they were silent. Hopefully they turn on soon.

If you spend any time in 8 you will see plenty. I wouldn't worry about it. I probably find 8-10 a year out hiking around. The Sheep herder was camped on the powerline just west of Whitehorse rd last week but he moves often.

How many hides and when would you pick them up?

I heard one in 8 last Monday morning

Use the wife's scented candles and wax it really good. Will last 5 more years

With a few days notice we get it from Safeway.

We were lucky enough to get invited back to Yuma on a private farm. Last year was my son's first time and he had a blast. I can't wait for the 110deg heat and watching the boy burn through 100's of shells!

That .257ai would be an awesome youth rifle!

This has been our hunting rig for the last 4 years. It has been a ton of fun but we decided to get something a little bigger. Its located in Williams asking $3200.00. I have driven this all over the state but most of its use has been close to home. Most of the work this needs is pretty easy for someone with a few tools. I was going to fix this up and give it to my son in a few years but I don't have a good place to work on it. 1996 Cherokee 4.0 auto. 200,xxx miles but most of them were towed miles The Bad: Needs a transfer case. It drives fine in 2wd but the 4wd doesn't work. I did a little shopping and found rebuilt ones for around $500 It needs some front end work and u-joints Needs the headliner replaced Has a power steering leak Needs a really good cleaning inside and out The Good: Runs good and doesn't burn oil. Has plenty of power New transmission with less than 10k miles New fuel pump Heat and A/c work New headlights and lightbar 4in Rough Country Lift New Exhaust Rebuilt rear diff Front bumper with Badlands 12k winch New shocks and steering stabilizer New belt

I'm open to offers but I've been shopping around a lot and I don't think its too far off. Especially with the new transmission.
