Warning to Arizona hunters and outdoor recreationists camping on the Coconino, Kaibab and Prescott National Forests Nov. 12, 2013 PHOENIX -- On August 16, 2013, the Coconino National Forest issued a press release entitled “Parking trailers in forests prohibited during hunting season.” The press release is specific to the Coconino, Kaibab, and Prescott National Forests, and is directed exclusively at hunters and recreationists who leave their trailers and/or motor homes unattended on the forest for more than 72 hours. These sportsmen may be subject to enforcement action, including citations or impoundment of vehicles, trailers and/or motor homes. The release specifically states, If trailers are left unattended for more than 72 hours, the Forest Service considers them abandoned property and may remove them from the forest. Violators can also be cited for this action. This is an unprecedented application of Forest Service regulations that relies on Arizona statutes for establishing a presumption of abandonment for a vehicle left unattended for more than 72 hours. The Arizona Game and Fish Commission and Department are opposed to this unprecedented application of state and federal law to hunters who have absolutely no intent of abandoning their property. A stay limit of 14 days has been in effect on national forest lands for decades and is well understood and accepted by sportsmen and recreationists. The Arizona Game and Fish Commission and Department, along with the Coconino and Yavapai County Sheriff's Offices, are committed to protecting Arizona’s citizens and recreational visitors on national forest system lands. The Department has met repeatedly with staff from the affected national forests to repeal this enforcement approach, with no success. Specifically, Director Larry Voyles, in a letter dated September 12, 2013, requested the following from Coconino National Forest Supervisor Earl Stewart: 1) that all national forests in Arizona establish a uniform approach to address length of visitation, and 2) that national forests in Arizona return to an enforcement approach that allows visitors or their property, including trailers, to remain on the forest for 14 days, whether or not the property is continuously attended. "The Commission feels strongly that public lands belong to the public, who clearly enjoy using those lands," said Chairman J.W. Harris. "A 72-hour rule imposes unacceptable and artificial restrictions on sportsmen and recreational users of the Coconino, Kaibab and Prescott National Forests." On Nov. 2, Chairman Harris moved and the Commission voted unanimously to have Director Voyles and the Department coordinate with Coconino County Sheriff Bill Pribil and Yavapai County Sheriff Scott Mascher to develop a notification placard that visitors to Arizona's national forests can affix to their property. The purpose of the placard is to provide notice that the owner or occupant of any property left temporarily unattended on the national forest has not abandoned the property. The placard lists the dates the property will be on the forest, states that the owner has not abandoned the property during any period of absence during those dates, and establishes that the length of stay on the forest will not exceed 14 days. Providing such notice may deter Forest Service personnel from impounding the property and/or pursuing enforcement actions. The placard includes this disclaimer: The Arizona Game and Fish Department provides this placard as a courtesy to sportsmen with no guarantee, representation or warranty that the notice placed on property will prevent impoundment, an enforcement action or be a defense to such actions. Any person using the placard understands and agrees to assume any risk that the notice will not prevent property seizure/impoundment or an enforcement action. Hunters and other outdoor recreationists may click on the link below to download and print the placard. Camping Placard The Commission also directed the Department to communicate issues involving the 72-hour rule to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and other relevant agencies, and to begin discussing appropriate legislation with lawmakers at state and national levels. Specific questions can be directed to the following forest officials: Brady Smith, Coconino Forest Public Affairs Officer, (928) 527-3490 Dean Jones, Coconino Forest Deputy Public Affairs Officer, (928) 527-3643 Brienne Magee, Flagstaff Ranger District Public Affairs Officer, (928) 527-8290 Jacque Banks, Kaibab Forest Public Affairs Officer (928) 635-8200 Debbie Maneely, Prescott Forest Public Affairs Officer (928) 443-8000 Hunters who experience unreasonable property seizures while recreating on national forests are encouraged to call the Arizona Game and Fish Department’s Operation Game Thief hotline 1-800-352-0700 or the appropriate county Sheriff's Office.

I didnt get drawn for my unit that I know well so I went for a southern leftover and here are some pics, short story is I went down solo backpacking and was hit by game and fish 2 times (thanks guys for what you do) hit by Border Patrol 3 times (thanks guys for what you do) spent many hours glassing and hiking over 4 days and saw 3 bears and zero deer. Beautiful country.

Need to pick some new hardware, I heard this book would help

Any of the drainages going into or out of major canyons or lakes up there should have bears. I found alot of bear sign in "the canyon up there"

Thats a very old tree stump that looks like carpet, I have 5 minutes of video of this bear from 50 yards, he never even new I was there. My video is HD and I cant upload it due to the format of Sony, the video is really good and he is just munching away. I left him alone so I dont know what he was eating but most of the scat had berries and nuts, I didnt find any fresh berries but they were in there somwhere. If anyone ever wants a bear just come deer hunting with me. lol I seem to find bears on my deer hunts.

Good Luck

Look at it this way, one year I had a big pack trip planned for months, I headed up 5 hours from home to where a trail head was, it just so happens that on this narrow road where the trailhead is there is also camping spots that folks use, well there were 3 trailers crammed in there and no one around for 3 days. I was unable to use this area because I didn't know what they would do when my trailer was parked there in their camp when they got in so I had to go somewhere else. I came back later and ran into one of the owners and he was a cool guy but said he just stopped in to check on things and was headed back to work until next week when his kid had an elk tag so is that fair I should not be able to use this area so he could squat the spot along with 2 others who never showed up in a week? Totally not in my opinion. This is not getting there before someone or getting up earlier or anything like that plain and simple, pack your stuff and head up when its time and find a spot, squatting spots in not cool, try to be cool or I wont offer you a beer in my camp!! LOL

Let us know how many shots you get out of those? I love that round but heard 800 shots and its recut or cebarrel time?

Looking about 14 lbs for whole rig, 22 in barrel so when folded it will fit in pack hidden.

300 win mag krieger tube, PA break, PA foldable stock, Vortex Razor HD, and of course custom camo paint job. 1860 yrds look out.

Not in the wilderness but at the trailheads, got stopped on the dirt roads too. Good guys and tried to hook me up with a better spot but being my first time down I couldnt find where they were saying

Heading out for my first ever Rifle deer hunt, looks like good timing so far. Maybe not the T-Storm part but rain is good when it stops. Good luck this weekend. CWT sticker on my 90" Yota will be down there. Friday...Breezy. Mostly cloudy with chance of showers and slight chance of thunderstorms. Highs 66 to 72. Southwest wind 15 to 25 mph. Chance of precipitation 50 percent. Saturday...Mostly cloudy with a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs 64 to 69. Sunday...Partly cloudy. Highs 67 to 75. Lows 42 to 49. Monday...Partly cloudy. Highs 67 to 75. Lows 42 to 49. Tuesday...Partly cloudy. Highs 67 to 75. Lows 42 to 49.

When you bringing my guns back by the way????

Noted, lol

The 7 day trip we parked in a campsite and rode out???

We did our big 7 day trip this year and would be the same deal?? I would come unglued if my rig was gone and me and mules were stuck.

I agree with sawbuck, one thing that worries me is I am planning a pack trip up north and will be leaving my trailer at a trailhead for 4 days ? Don't think its in trouble but you never know. I will be calling, email already in but no word back yet.

I actually left out the unit on intensionally, I was originally thinking to title it with the unit but from now on I think I will keep that to myself when posting, it was not my normal unit and I think guys who go there regular would not want someone posting a bunch of specifics just because it was a back up or leftover plan. Its not too tuff to do your own leg work and alot of guys will PM info on areas anyway. Thanks so Coues guys who did so for me, I went with my own plan but their info was invaluable regardless. I can PM where not to go for sure. LOL on these days anyway. Tuff Ruff beat you up country in there for sure.

This is way too braod a subject imo. I bought a savag axis in .223 and put a bushnell fixxed 10 pwr on it and I can drill anything out to 600 so far and now shoot that more than any gun. 250 $ for the stainless camo eddition and 200 for the scope, I did the trigger myself down to no creep and minus 2 lbs and it just shoots great, too many points of view to say any company is better than the next, I have never owned a bad gun but love some more than others. Win #94 is my #1 colt single act 45lc is next then ????
