Elkhunter1 Report post Posted August 25, 2013 Nope not what you think! As I got to my parking spot I almost hit a doe AND a person. As I was climbing the hill I looked back and saw 8 guys carrying burlap packs and one guy brushing the tracks off the road, he was also providing "over watch" for the others. It looked like he had an AK. He looked back and saw me calling Border Patrol, after that they picked up the pace. As BP and Omaha came on scene I was able to guide them in on my last sighting of the group by talking to one of the K-nine units. Before it was all said and done there was a dozen trucks and two Helos providing support. Patrol Agent Jeramey called when they were done to thank me for my help and to advise me they got half of the guys, all of the dope, radios, cell phones,maps and other Intel. He also estimated the weight at 350lbs. Those bozos trekked right through the canyon I was going to hunt. they ruined my hunt so I returned the favor by ruining their day and giving them some jewelry to ware. Getting the news did brighten what was a very frustrating day! I would to the same thing again in a heartbeat!!!! Sorry no pics! I was concentrating on getting Omaha in on the group. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We were just talking about how traffic patterns had changed some and the changes in habits of the smugglers. Glad you stayed out of harm's way...and great job on the assist.

alexjh1 Report post Posted August 25, 2013 Holy Geeze, lucky Mr. Over watch did not use the AK when he saw you using the phone. I will be down in Southern Arizona in November and hope to avoid most of that, at least the bad ones. I have bumped into border crossers in the past and they have always run the other way which works for me. Stay safe out there, Alex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tjhunt2 Report post Posted August 25, 2013 Talk about some excitement, wow. And I take it hunting alone doesn't bother you any? I'm sure your wife doesn't care for it Steve or has she taken out extra life insurance and encourages you to go? The stories just keep getting better all the time.
