MULEPACKHUNTER

Our place is a little better than that, the door closes. LOL Oh and I grabbed one of those double sleeping bags so now we wont have to carry 2 of them.

Thanks again guys for the help, we ended up with DC outfitters and a horse pack trip, I will not be along but I will try to get some photos or info on how it goes, should be epic for sure. Hard to go wrong with an early rifle 27 tag.

Hey guys hope you had a good time, we were at the Grace Mechanical table and we won the beer cup shot gun right out of the gate, we also won the 7mm later on but dont remember what raffle that was. I didnt win crap but nailed a few silent auction items the wife wanted. How about that puppy, last year I had the lab going to about 1000.00 and bailed out but this year wow 4000.00. We got one of our new guys and a non hunter in on the lifetime member deal for the .22 lever action. Was a good night cqapped of with some live bull riding and dancing at the roadrunner. Oh and then I slept until about 10am Sunday. OUch

Thanks guys, most likely we will hit FR300 and find something. I checked forest web site and no mention of closure, of course they may wait until the day we are leaving and not do it earlier in the week cuz that makes sense. Hope they are open but I guess we could just hit the cabin.

Better yet just blast em.

hey edge buddy what time is the race and since i dont have tv let me know how it tuns out, heres to breaking it wide open and having another triple crown winner. i had the pleasure of being around sunday silence and a few other derby and preakness winners while in kentucky when i was you, i rode a horse named kiddyside who was of that caliber. i will be at the rmef dinner tonight so i cant come break your door down and bum some tv time.

I have been working on sweetening up a couple of Mauser model 2000 rifles and was having an issue finding bases for them, they have never had a scope mounted on them. Anyway after some measuring to see if there was compatible units out there I realized the dimensions didnt match even what they were supposed to be for the model 2000 and also didnt match anything out there. Well easy enough I went with the bases I wanted and was able to get them undrilled so I can put the holes in myself and where they are supposed to be. Now I went looking further and found several of my other guns and friends guns where the accuracy of the mounting holes is subpar. Not only are they not on center of the action but the spreads are off. You can still mount the base but it will bind up and each screw will fight the others, then in some cases they are off center. I will be making adjustments to my bases to allow for the off center and my friends have requested the same for their guns. Just an FYI guys, to me it looks like the bases are pretty good but some actions including high end actions are not perfect as we would like. With some of the very sweet rigs on here this is one more little item that can make the difference shooting way way out there.

I think he got you all fooled, you know he rides a horse right??? Kidding of course. Or am I/??

to me if it was really fire danger why would they leave it open for this weekend? there will be more folks up there this weekend then maybe any other so lets leave it open when its most risky then close it when no one is going up? makes no sense at all if there is extreme danger.

i am headed up for archery, rifle hunts i am too chicken about the weather, to get pounded with snow would not be fun imo. i see all acounts for otc there are alot of hunters, i am going to run mules and backpack so maybe i can glass with some elbow room

I have seen something similar in Africa but this thing is about the coolest trailer ever!! UEV 440 CONQURER, LOOK AT IT ON U TUBE IT IS AWSOME

ok thanks all again, going to do some calling now and see who is open and what they offer.

Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the comments, Bill I will be checking that book out for sure, I am a big reader and cant get enough of outdoor real life writing. Sounds like a life packed with stories, I have a few myself and plan on making a few books worth in the years to come. Seems like every time you take off with mules you have a shot at o good story. No doubt they know exactly whats going on around them and forget trying to make them do anything they dont want to do. The trick I am told it to make them think it was their idea in the first place. I know for now the trick with any animal packing meat is to get it wrapped and on them asap before any smell starts, a very fresh kill smells clean and fresh like earthy even and it doesnt bother mine, but a few hours later they know something is not right and get nervous. Heading out this weekend to try and find some Yotes to hang over the fence and work them into meat packing some more. They have an elk hide on the fence at their water tank at all times for now. That guard mule thing is true, although they do have flight in them they will fight just as often, I had a dog come at us one time and dammed if my big mule didnt turn nose to nose with this Pit and fire off a few jabs with his front right, that dog put the breaks on right now and decided we could proceed without further interuption. LOL I honeslty think had that dog came closer it would have been dead.

Notice to hunters regarding the recent designation of jaguar critical habitat The Arizona Game and Fish Department has been receiving inquiries from concerned hunters about the impact the recent designation of jaguar critical habitat in southern Arizona will have on hunting in the designated area. To help address these questions, the department has prepared the following information: On April 4, 2014, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service declared almost 760,000 acres in southern Arizona as critical habitat for the jaguar, a species that was listed as endangered in 1972. With this listing, jaguars have been afforded complete protection in the United States. This species is also listed as endangered in Mexico. To assess the potential impacts to hunting or other outdoor recreation activities like off-highway vehicle use, the department reviewed the new rule and concluded that hunting is unlikely to be affected. The federal rule that designates critical habitat status does not include any reference to restrictions on recreation opportunities including hunting. “One of the elements of the critical habitat rule is the need to maintain adequate prey base for jaguars with specific mention of deer and javelina. Game and Fish has already addressed this in its current management program for the area, so there is no direct impact to department activities,” says Jim deVos, the department’s assistant director of wildlife management. “In trying to understand the impact of the designation on outdoor recreationists, including hunters, it is important to remember that jaguars are already fully protected by both state and federal laws and the rule doesn’t add any restrictions to people that are legally licensed to hunt.” One of the stated purposes for designating critical habitat for jaguars was to ensure, to the extent possible, that movement corridors are maintained between the U.S. and Mexico where the closest jaguar population lives about 130 miles south of the international border. The designation points out that the number of jaguars in Arizona is very small with only six or seven different jaguars documented in the U.S. since 1982. However, maintaining habitat connectivity is important if the number of jaguars were to increase in Arizona. There are a few restrictions in the designated area, but they affect major actions such as development of high-traffic volume roads or similar large-scale projects, and not activities of individuals.
