Elkhunter1 Report post Posted March 10, 2012 After an unexpected meeting at the shop, I stopped at the house to get my son. We stopped to get provisions and headed up to the project. As we arrived we could see there was a large amount of work that had already been done. My son and I was eager to get started, it didn't take long to get our hands dirty. You tell me "who is in charge?" My son Mychal or Ben Brochu Project Manager Although my son and I was only able to work for four hours, I can honestly say I will sleep good this week knowing I helped our wildlife. I can also say I am very proud of my son, he worked the entire time without taking a sit down break or asking, "when are we done." In-fact he was kinda upset when I told him we had to head back into Tucson so I could attend the Forest Service meeting on the road adjustments for the Santa Catalina District. Thank you Mychal for the great pics that tell the story. Thank you Amanda for posting this opportunity to help AZGFD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cmc Report post Posted March 12, 2012 Stephen - I saw you guys heading south on Oracle rd. while I was towing the 5th wheel north. Just about near the In and Out burger shop. Nice photos and I hope the FS meeting went well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice photos and I hope the FS meeting went well. I was looking for CWT'ers on our way out. I do remember seeing a fifth-wheel at about that point. I watched all of the CAT Team members go back and forth on the merits of each road and I was surprised that there was a couple of ideas talked about that the FS didn't think of that they might incorporate. It was also comical in the fact they spent 20 minutes to end the meeting with more meetings to come. I will post the date and time of the next one so we can get our point on the record. I am also getting a set of maps from the FS to study so I can better educate myself on what they are planning in unit 33. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are alot of hunters out there that need to know the hard work azgfd puts in to helping our wildlife in this great state of ours. Thanks again for your work on the project and I look forward to seeing some stories of Mychal's hunts. TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here is the information on where and when. We are looking forward to the continuation of the March 8 discussion tomorrow at our follow up Santa Catalina CAT Meeting on Tuesday, March 13.
