We are up here. Caught a lull in the downpour. Boy and I drove the rzr (nice and slow) about half mile front camp. Bulls going crazy. Absolute down pour. Turned around and slugged back to the rzr then camp to get warm and dry. 

At least you are there. 
Good luck

Looking forward to hunting from a row boat in 4B with my daughter!

Got it done before the storm came in today. Found a rut fest mid morning and the action was hot. Daughter got it done with 1 shot from 25 SST at 360 yds. Hunter was there helping, it’s hard to believe he’s nearly grown. Seems like yesterday he was following me around these same hills begging for snacks.

This one got me a feeling a little sentimental.

She’s a tank. We packed her out in one trip. Two hind quarters in my pack. Two fronts in Hunter’s. We carried the trim meat bags in our hands. Damnear killed me.

My son got it done, rain and all.  He’s 2 for 2 now on youth hunts.

Can't express how proud I am of my boy. Ill do a complete write up when we finally get home. Truck batteries are dead. Rzr voltage regulator fried in the mud. Not sure i can get my diesel out of where we are camped, let alone the trailer and rzr. But, my boy put 3 through the boiler room on his first elk, first Arizona animal at 281 yards. Supressors rock!

Awesome, congrats on the memories and great hunts!

That's one happy kid. Casey, I can bring you up a couple of fresh batteries in the morning and I have a tow strap if you are stuck. New tires on my F-250. I upgraded my phone and lost your number but Adam has it.

Thanks Chris, ive got new batteries in the bed of my buddies truck ($519 expenditure during furlough, yipee). We're hoping to get everything out tomorrow. Im not TOO worried about my Dodge, but I am worried about the rzr and trailer in one specific spot.

Headed  back to 6a tomorrow myself.  If anyone  needs a hand let me know . That mud is no joke . Spent 2 hours Saturday  getting  the truck unstuck and another  4 getting  the trailer out and back on the truck after folding  the nose jack  pulling it out backwards  . GOOD TO SEE SOME KIDS STILL GETTING  THERE DEER AND ELK EVEN IN THE WEATHER!!!!!!
