Oh, and take your binos !

Have been to Mt Rushmore a dozen times. It will bring a tear to your eyes, it does me every time. Pictures do not do it justice, it is awesome in person. Make sure you watch the movie in the auditorium also. The facts surrounding its creation are amazing. Also the story of the Crazyhorse construction. Sometimes if you hit it right you can witness some blasting going on there.

Have been there many many times. My wife is from there. Stopping at wall drug is a must, great hot roast beef sandwich. Pioneer auto Museum in Murdo. Crazyhorse monument is a must. Also the "Cosmos". Deadwood is fun and Keystone lake is beautiful. Driving through Custer state park is always on our list. Lots of wildlife and some of the prettiest country you will find.

Still packing in May ?

I have been through so many bags in the last 40 years. About 12 years ago I finally got smart and spent the money on a Butler Bag. Best investment ever. Bag was $500.00. Worth every penny. Doesn't matter the temp outside. Has 2 compartments. Very wide. Absolutly none better.

I found this old picture about 30 years ago in a truck I purchased. If anyone recognizes these guys, maybe an uncle, dad, or grandad, please let me know. I am sure that someone who knows these guys would enjoy it. It is a large photo, 14" x 9". Could be Kaibab Bucks.

I like the 2 point and small shed collection I have. Shed to the right of the mount actually scores 100 " ! Looked for the other side for 2 days. 23" G2. Could have been well over 200" typical on the hoof.

The buck lived behind his house. They annexed it recently in the city limits. Can't even archery hunt him.

I'm witch ya

Got that right. You see it was 20 years ago.

I have 24 BP's. Cant draw a goat tag to save my life. I just want 1 in my life. My brother drew last year with 23 an turned in the tag due to health reasons. He Drew again this year ! Just too many applicants and very limited # of tags. Congrats to all those who drew.

I recently found out that a long time Az. Hunter, friend, and Guide, Robin Wills Bechtel Passed away. Robin achieved many awards, I believe the big 9, and Heads and horn plus many many B&C entries along with his wife Billie. I met him in 1992 when he was a B&C scorer. He scored both mine and my brothers Kaibab Bucks. In the years to come I accompanied him on several hunts, the Az. Kaibab, Nevada, Wyoming, and the San Juan Elk ridge in Utah. { Photo is from my Utah hunt with Robin on the left.} He was probably the best hunter that I have ever known. He was awesome on field Judging horns. I believe Robin also did 2 or 3 tours in Viet Nam as a Navy Seal. My condolences to Billie and the Bechtel family, One of the things I will always remember is him naming a Big Buck in the Kaibab the " FACS" Buck. I asked him why the "FACS" Buck? He replied... Fuckin a cock-sucker.

Just start walking. The Kaibab gets hit very hard, mostly in the sage cuts. I like getting up in the cedar/ junipers. Hard to say exactly when they drop, it varies. Just enjoy the country with friends and family. I have found most Lion and Winter kills in the trees.

My daughter has acquired 2 blind female pibull puppies. They were rescued. She would like to find a good home and hopefully together. I believe that there are certain requirements. Please send me a PM and I will forward any interest to her. Thanks.

Any reports on the Strip or late Kaibab from anyone ?

Awesome ! Thanks for sharing.

The 22 RD where it goes down to the pine hollow rd. Many many camp sites and will be lots of camps. Hunt out of camp or many does should be around little MTN mid-range. Does down off the 423 by then with better vision. Have fun. Shouldnt be a problem finding Does.

My brother had the 10 cow hunt a few years back. We never saw an elk. He also had the deer tag that started the day after the cow hunt. First day of the deer hunt we had 3 cows and a bull walk right by us at 30 yrds ! It was like they knew.

I believe the heard is about 30-40 head. Never seen them on the east side. Years back we saw them on the west side by Slide tank. Also have seen them around the highway gravel pit north of Jacob off the highway. Very large area to find them. AZGFD wants them harvested. They should locate them and help anyone with a tag. Just my opinion

257 Roberts or 243

Took this picture a few years back in unit 10. Note the distance this bull flew through the air after jumping the fence at a full out run. Looks like exhaust coming from his hind legs. Maybe this is why they can disappear in an instant, they can fly.

I myself go up to the Kaibab shed hunting when 90% of the deer are off winter range and back up top.
