    Pack in scouting trip

    We mentioned the same thing as we traversed up a canyon in God's land. But, can lol now, 24 hours earlier had a fun little ride as my mount found a patch of quicksand. She's good at finding that and now tends to get a little flustered when sinking on land.

    Hoss, Bingo!But seriously, I think we would try and accommodate anyone whom is serious about making a trip like that. Got another scheduled in two weeks with a CWT member getting started packing.

    Sheds

    I want sheds to be worthless in price again. I loved it when there weren't so many people. I still love it, but so many people are making it harder. Last shed season, we went to a good spot of ours, and this guy with horses followed us in there, raced us up the ridge, and down. I crossed a snow bank up to my waist cause he was just up the ridge from me. If I had crossed him, my words wouldn't have been pleasant towards him or his buddy.dang those horse guys!

    Sheds

    I sell about half the sheds I find in order to finance the hunts. Haven't sold any to buyers, I've found a better, more profitable route. Gets me out in the wild where I can get the urban stink blown off me.

    Pack in scouting trip

    Was a good trip for sure. I managed a few hours of predator calling and saw some deer going in (species unclear, and saw several Coues coming out. Had a Gila monster blocking the mule train on a narrow, steep trail, in no hurry to get out the way. Our guest outfitters from MT, challenged Mike to bake a cake on the campfire, it came out perfect. We melted some chocolate bars and caramels in half and half for a glaze frosting. Great crew great place and great time. Ready to head back at the drop of a hat. Not many pics of the trail, hands were busy with animals. I'll figure out away to post a GPS graph of the trail. Looking at the que, you'd think we rode off a 1500' Cliff.summit Spring coming from cliff rock.

    Warm weather

    Flagstaff is up over a foot of snow than the usual amount. CA mountain snow packs are expected to be at 150% by the end of next month. Meanwhile, Phx is down 1/4" of precip.Let's hope for more rain as we head into the driest months.

    maybe there's a balcony to hang it from for skinning? That would sure be handy, maybe break the ice with the cute chick next door?

    I once tried to cram a nice 3x4 blacktail into the trunk of a 2dr Toyota Tercel. Then when I got home to my swanky Seattle neighborhood, I butchered it in the driveway so all my neighbors could watch and learn.

    Deer of course. I'm wondering what bullet in a .223 for elk?Do I get the double doucher? As long as it's a berger in any grain and you shoot the bull in the shoulder it will work fine out to 800. Berger's are made out of melted leprechaun teeth and kill every animal on impact. Ask anyone that shoots them, they'll be sure to let you know!Then my tasco 4x should be enough scope if my kill zone is only 800. Is that meters or feet? My backup plan was swapping out The .177 guns Simmons 4.5x, but I got that all dialed in out to 600 for bighorn should I get drawn with 2 points.

    Threw caution to the wind, went ape. Decided to put in where I wanted to hunt, in units I know. Where as my partner wanted bull only early archery. If we don't get drawn, do the same next year in AZ and maybe head to CO for the OTC tags 5a 5bs 9 10 8 I know the application gives you all these additional unit options, not certain at all how that works but there you have it.

    Sure, 3000 hours of classroom study,1500 hours lab. 12 months ojt, additional courses in satellite, radar interpretation, long range model forecasting, rawinsonde and pibal launching and plotting, field observation, metar and conus work chart plotting... Should be a breeze, buddy. Honestly, every pilot should be a fair meteorologist, minimum.

    Somewhat true in the civilian world but DOD meteorologists forecast the weather with the threat of Ft Leavenworth hanging over their heads if they goofed up and an aircraft went down or military assets were damaged.Even the smallest error in a forecast would call for a review and the forecaster would have to go back and prepare a presentation as to why the conditions occurred that were not forecasted.
