If I had the money I'd buy it right now.... swarovski has always been good glass; don't matter how old it is. dang, that's a good deal.

I'll be dadgum.... Drew late December WT. Wife drew an October Mule Deer tag.... Awesome way to start the day! Thanks to Game and Fish for getting them up in a decent time frame.

:blink: :blink: Probably the HAM hunt.

Call and ask. I don't think its gonna be for a few more work days. still too early.

Last year the second Tuesday in June, which is the date they are always due, was the 8th. Results came out what "seemed" to be pretty early last year; July 15th (37 days past the deadline date) This year, the second Tuesday in June was the 14th. Based off of last year, I would assume (of course you know what that means) that at the earliest, they'd be out next week (37 days would be the 21st). All in all, they'll be out when they have the results ready to release. I'm certain they know we are all patiently waiting

It's all going to come down to "if" the deer smells you. Your body puts off microscopic molecules of odor that aren't detectable by humans. Deer break down smell more completely than a lot of other animals; they have a complex olfactory system. You can wear and spray whatever you want however much you want. there will be molecules that leave your body that deer can smell. You have to get the wind right. Perhaps set up a couple different blinds where you want to hunt and sit the one with the best wind direction. IMO I wouldn't rely on a spray; the wind is a much better cover up for scent if you play it right....

July 20th. 9:37 AM

Sold. azpredator. message received after sale. Thx for the interest.

SOLD

I prefer a good wall tent. If this is out of the question, the kodiak canvas tent looks nice for a decent price. Just up to to you, how much you want to spend and the ease of setting up. Good luck! That's a fun purchase especially with the kids.

I saw this too. Where in the H E L has this been? Good grief......

Google Earth shows the entire west side of Escudilla burning. Makes a man sick to his stomach.

Doesn't seem to be as much media coverage on this significant fire. The media was all over the RC fire when it happened. Anyways, here is what was highlighted at the community meeting held tonight. It has to be a frightening time for a lot of people. It's sickening to think of how much has burned. Spotting in Nutrioso, 40 mph winds overnight Th/Fri; horrible conditions. http://www.wmicentral.com/news/eagar-public-meeting-updates-status-of-wallow-fire-conditions-worse/article_39ab81fe-8a47-11e0-abac-001cc4c002e0.html

New perimeter updated. Hope it doesn't get into the Escudilla complex.... http://inciweb.org/incident/2262/

Dang. 106k acres now. Crazy.

Sorry to hear that Bruce.

Does anyone have any updated info on size? The incident page still has it at 40k but that's been there for a while.

You can always take your thoughts to the meetings and voice your concerns. It looks like theyre encouraging that this year. Voice your opinion. It surely wont hurt........

Done.

Yes. I would vote for it to happen. It seems as if it would help to alleviate some anxiety amongst those that did apply; or at least the anxiety of the "unknown" of when they will actually come out. If there are indeed factors that come into play that will alter the results being posted by that date, it would be possible to communicate this to the public through various resources. This is perhaps something the Game and Fish could look at.

Who are you hearing from? Game and Fish or rumors? The lil' ol' draw dept. lady? She was correct last year.

Yep. Listened to it as well. Only 41 folks logged on to listen..... Press release coming out by close of business day. Hope the results come out soon now.

Sure wishin they'd post em on up!

Lark said it very well and I am one that feels the same way as him. I know we all have our own thoughts, but to me, his hits the nail right on the head. I'm pretty sure he's hunted in those units.... Pretty sure he grew up in the Gila Valley and has hunted most places down south. I will agree with you that access has developed into a huge problem in those units; it would sure be nice to get more access available for us all. The Klondyke side of 31 is getting to be just as bad for access. How about 76 ranch? Any access there?

Lived there for two years going to college.....Some of the best two years of my life playin' ball and meetin some good ol' folks down there. Made some of the best friends one could ever ask for. I saw boiled peanuts all over but never got to try them. Wish I would've though. I do know the crawfish sure did taste good down there....mmmmmm. Love it!
