AZ8

We use to leave on every holiday weekend. Several years ago we said screw it. Tired of fighting the traffic. I'd rather head north on a non-holiday weekend. Here's a pic of that back up from Channel 3 news. Screw that!

Dang, I'm jealous! Don't ya'll work?? Haha Won't be able to go unitil this weekend.

That's where I buy all my Natural Gear camo. It's all I wear here and has worked well. Good prices too.

You're gonna hate the heat. It's like nothing you've experienced. You just have to live through one summer to understand. I work outdoors, so it's miserable to me. Like a few others, I grew up in Northern Arizona, but live down here in the valley. Moved here in 1992. My first opportunity....I'm outta here! Lol Based on what you're saying, Prescott seems to fit the bill. Cool enough in the summer, and warm in the winter. Sure, they get snow, but it's gone pretty quick. The snow cover here isn't like Ohio. In Prescott, it's usually gone within a few days after a storm. Maybe a bit longer during a cold spell. But 3 months of snow cover in Prescott will never happen. Remember, Arizona sits at much lower latitude than Ohio. So our winters are pretty mild. That's why our elk become monsters!!

Congrats on a great buck! Heck of hunt for you guys.

Not just in the Pinals. Headed up north yesterday via SR87. Passed many road hunters from Clints Well and points north. All going about 15mph. A major state highway with traffic, and these boys are putt'n along in their SxS's, bows in hand, oblivious of the 10 car backup they're causing. Long stretches of double yellow lines. People were getting impatient. Recipe for disaster. To each his own, but please get off the highway.

Man, this sucks. Thieves are bottom dwellers! This is about the only thing that will truly prevent most home break-ins. Meet Max.

Congrats!

Goodness gracious! Man I love a big muley! Congrats to your buddy!

No experience with Camp Verde. But I did the commute thing for about a year. It got old quick. Losing 2+ hours of my life on the road everyday was too much. Just something to consider. Good luck!

Weird. I use my iPad with no issues.

Click on the "choose file" button. Then once uploaded, click "attach this photo" button. Then "add to post" Pretty simple.

Nice pics. All the Salt River lakes are crazy on the weekends! Middle of the week is best!

Never got it. Lost in the mail. Never signed for it...etc etc..

My backpack set up is a Slik Pro EZ aluminum with the outdoorsman's head on it. Total weight is 2.5 pounds.

Heck of deal for $350! That's a great setup for someone getting into archery. Good luck on your sale.

Good luck! Quite an adventure heading your way!

White 4 door Silverado heading north on 87. You passed me near the Four Peaks turn off at about 6:30 this morning. I was in the white Silverado too! Very uncommon truck! Haha

Yeah. Still had a strong pine smell.

What does this mean? Up on the Rim today checking cameras.

Get out of here, That even broke in for a Hyundai Let me get my checkbook!

Too many miles!

I'll be watching this thread. I'm in the market for a new commuter car myself. I've narrowed it down to a Ford Fusion and Hyundai Sonata.

Mount Ord = marijuana groves Kidso is correct. Reavis Ranch has the old apple orchard.

Remember, it's a one time deal per species. Imagine you go in with someone in 2017 and get paid $1000 for it. Then in 2018 you draw your coveted tag and you end up breaking your leg 1 week before the season. You're now SOL. So when you really need it, you're screwed. Start trading points for cash and those hunting gods and superstitions will make you pay!
