Reviving this thread...I am sure it is just a growth in hunting demand... But recently I heard a rumor about anti-hunters buying up tags...think there is any truth to that in Arizona? Lonne

Nice!!

Ate some more tonight and milk just doesn't kill the pain anymore. But they go great with tortillas...I will have to top coues cheeseburgers with them, that sounds good!

Probably 10 years ago I bought a $100 Slumberjack 0 degree and nearly hypothermically froze at about 10,000 feet while my buddy slept in a 0 degree North Face bag and told me he was sweating he was burning up... Temp ratings are very subjective one brand to the next...so be careful of anything on a budget. You get what you pay for. Back then a good 0 or 20 degree bag was about $200. I'm not sure if things changed, but I'd be careful about getting anything that says it will handle those temps at $100... $200, down, and a good name (Kelty, Marmot, whatever) and you should be comfy in very cold temps. Getting a good night's sleep is worth its weight in gold on a long, cold hunt.

How did everyone do? This is the first year I've put in for a leftover, and didn't get one. Pretty upset about that because I've been timing my app to arrive there Monday morning. Last year I received my 4th choice. This year I didn't receive any of my 5 choices... Depressed for deer season.

+ Myself x 100...had my first batch Saturday...ate at least 8 solo roasted hatch chilis for breakfast... Ever had the red ones? Tried one of those for the first time and wow, it was hot...

I predict bears will be in the acorns and pears this year :-) But now seriously...I am seeing some good acorns at the moment as well. Lonne

I'm hungry :-) Looks beautiful

Sweet!!!

I want one.

He will get pardoned.

I'm not sure I believed the story when I was a kid. LOL. But now the story is believable watching the video.

I remember having an archery contest with 2 of my friends when I was a kid, we would shoot arrows straight up into the air and whoever got the arrow to land closest to them without moving, was the winner. These weren't toy bows; we deer hunted with them. Spent a whole day doing that. This without YouTube providing inspiration. yikes!

I loved this place :-( http://www.abc15.com/news/region-southeast-valley/apache-junction/large-fire-erupts-at-mining-camp-restaurant-in-apache-junction http://www.azfamily.com/story/35963314/mining-camp-restaurant-destroyed-by-fire I've been going there since I was a kid...depressed!!!

Yah that prickly pear jelly was both addicting and diabetic inducing.

Holy crap. Nice!

36b was awesome until the doe to buck ratio became like 60:1

Nice !!! Good story!!! There is nothing like having a good dog.

It is pretty depressing!!! Unless hunting population decreases due to NK getting an ICBM, some natural disaster, or... (I believe in vaccinations, at least currently :-) Pardon the joke...)

It doesn't answer your question exactly...I have not conquered it. I've done some segments and one of the longest segments of it (~35 miles due to a couple of wrong turns near the end when I got tired:-) ). PM if any particular info you might be looking for; a friend of mine has near conquered it and I could pass along the question to him.

Yah, sad...

Another crazy video.

Lot of ash from the Highline Fire looks like...
