2 pointsI just talked to my neighbor and his rain gauge shows 3.6 inches of rain from last nights storm. That makes it 4.2 inches in less than 24 hours.

1 pointDoing this on my cell, so will be brief. Used 6 pack Sauerfish charters out of Point Loma Sportfishing, https://www.sauerfishcharters.com/the-boat. Went out at 5am and got a ton of bait. The rear swim step is a bait tank to use for throwing, center deck bait tank and a corner tank as well. We headed out into Mexican waters (371). Breakfast was a killer fat breakfast burrito. Standard kierig coffee, water, soda and yes beer was included. Chips and candies with fruit as snacks. Lunch was a panini style turkey sandwhich, very filling, with potatoe salad and pickle. Hit the grounds, hitting pattys, pulled a Yellowtail out, moved on. More kelp and much of the same, 1 and 2s here and there, was a non biting day. Got on a small patty, loaded with Dorado flashing and jumping but we could only stick 4. There was a ton of yellowtail and yellowfin tuna under it, but nothing wouldn't bite. Kept trolling all day, no luck. We fished a little longer than expected and had to get back to the barn, they had trip leaving that night. Ended up with 7 yellowtail and 4 Dorado. Bite was slow and tough, tried throwing a surface iron and sniper for jigging, no dice. Didnt get to use my new Opah kill bag, as we just filleted the fish and basically ate them for dinner over the grill. Will recommend this charter, captain and deckhand worked hard and kept us in the loop and tried to get these fish on. Also, you want some killer tacos, check out Salud Tacos https://saludtacos.com/ about 15 mins from the landings, suggest Uber as parking sucks. Place is in the Barrio Logan district.

1 pointQuick update. Got some cool lightning shots before the storm moved closer to Yuma. Crazy to see how these storms develop and build over time. There is going to be some happy animals soon.

1 pointIf the scope is a Fillfield II, I would be interested in that if someone wants the rifle without scope

1 pointYou’ll probably be up high on that hunt. There are roads every where up there. I have been able to pack every deer we have killed whole to them truck. But we kill dinks

1 pointI did wind up emailing the address on the card that was sent. AZGFD in Flagstaff was very helpful. Hopefully I'll have some projectiles soon. I did realize that I could bag and carry as well. I'll turn 58 during the hunt, and I'll be solo unless I turn up someone that wants to go along, so I'm not really looking to make any extra trips to pack guts. That said, this is a new rifle I just put together for this hunt, and if I can't get it to shoot with any coppers, I'll definitely use something like an NAB and worry about the gutpile when the time comes.

1 pointI don't post stories/pics much. (In fact, I don't think I have ever posted anything hunting trip related, other than adventures with my kids.) Anyway, since not many folks get to hunt bison, I thought I would share. I put in on a whim when applying for deer 4 months ago. Just an afterthought, assuming that I would not get drawn, but I lucked-out and got one of 10 tags for the 9/25-10/7 12A cow hunt. Once I was drawn, I decided I would do everything I could to try to give myself the best chance at killing one. I reached-out to, and spent time on the phone with quite a few people who had previously had the permit, including Heat and Catfishkev. I also spoke with Flatlander a couple of times, since he and his son did the hunt in July. In addition, I exchanged messages with several others (couesdeerhntr, and others who are not on cw.com....). I also exchanged info with Jim Mullins, who was very generous with his information/assessment of the hunt. I owe a HUGE debt of gratitude to ALL who spent the time to give me information and perspective! In particular, Kevin spent lots of time with me on the phone/text/e-mail, and in fact sent me the key to a couple of his cameras and gave me the full go-ahead to utilize them for my hunt prep! Super, super generous!!!! Unfortunately, due to personal family commitments over the summer combined with the fact that I started a new job in mid-July, my time was very limited, and I could not spend the necessary 'boots on the ground' time I would have hoped. Finally, I also reached out to Russ Jacoby. Stating the obvious, there are many opinions of Russ and his crew (Just like there are many differing opinions of all of us! ). That being said, I found him to be helpful, professional, sincere, and SUPER passionate about the bison on the Kiabab! When I said I was going on a scouting trip in early July, he invited me to join his crew for a "ride-along" day or two to get to know the vibe and how they operate. That was very valuable time. I ultimately ended-up connecting with him for the hunt. So from here, I'll try make this quick! One of my best friends & hunting/fishing/camping partners drove down from Salt Lake to help me on the hunt. We met-up on Thursday evening and set-up camp. I connected with Russ, and made a plan to meet him early on Friday morning. My buddy decided to pass on the first day in the blind, giving me an opportunity to get the feel of the thing, and he would then join me in latter days. I met-up with Russ in the morning, and he made a suggestion regarding a tank I should sit. Well, 2 1/2 hours into opening day, after seeing several deer and lots of birds, I heard a noise and immediately saw black bodies moving through the trees making their way down the trail to the tank I was on. Within 10 seconds of initially seeing them, there were 12-14 bison of all shapes, sizes, and genders lined-up about 40 yards directly across the tank from me drinking away. I quickly focused-in on one of the cows, and as soon as she turned broad-side, I blasted her right in the boiler-room. As the other's scattered, she took a huge lunge into the tank, then took approximately 3-4 big jumps while turning to get out of the tank. I could see blood on her side as she got to dry ground and started to run/limp up the bank. I shot her again as she was running, and she fell. She started to get-up, so I shot her one last time and she slumped-down for good. From the time I saw them coming through the trees, to the time she was dead was likely no more than 30-40 seconds. DONE!! I walked around sort of dumbfounded and in disbelief for several days regarding the entire thing, specifically how quickly it happened! I went from not even really ever thinking about or considering putting-in for buffalo, to killing a 'once in a lifetime' animal just four months later. Unbelievable! Anyway, thanks again to everyone who spent time with me on text/email/phone to help with information. I'm full of gratitude!!!! S. She was big and old!! (Russ aged her at 10-12 years old.....)
