The grass sure is a different color green up in 9 this year!

A little advice for backpacking a unit you haven't been into...... Scout for water! If you find that then you are golden. Prepare for the conditions and you will be fine.

I backpack hunt and I use 7" solomon quest and Lowa caminos. Really happy with both so far, they both give good support. I am lucky to have pretty good ankles so tall boots have never been needed. IMO the way a boot fits YOUR foot is the most important part. As far as sticker are concerned, I either deal with them or wear lightweight gaiters or snake gaiters depending on time of year and location.

The keyboard cowboys sure have saddled up on this topic!!!!!! Lmao I wonder how this convo would go down if everyone was face to face?

Will do but if I forget google sea forth sportfishing and look up the outer limits, or any boat you want. You can see the fish count for the last 10 trips or so. #of anglers, fish counts, and duration. They post em pretty fast.

Headed out on the outer limits on Thursday for a 2 day. Fish counts look pretty good but no matter what it's gonna be a good time!

These "discussions" make me laugh! Thanks for the entertainment guys!

What a year to have the tag! Congrats amigo

Let me get this straight. I draw a tag that I have been waiting 8 years to draw. I have bought 8 yrs worth of points ($104) for a tag that costs $58. The week before the hunt I get really sick. Now if I was a "member" for those 8 yrs I would have Contributed $200 for the privilege to return my tag to reinstate my points but loose the cost of the tag, just so they could sell the tag again to someone else ( who is a member) for $58. Seems like a great idea to me, but for who? does the second person loose their points or is it treated like a leftover?

218 which kuiu? Icon or the ultra? Both are good packs but the icon can handle more weight comfortably. I have an icon and it's a solid pack but as weight gets upwards of 60-70 lbs it starts to become a bit uncomfortable. For big weight like a 7 day trip where you will be packing out heavy cause of a kill, I don't think it will handle the weight so I am looking at kifaru. They are very pricey but I think I will be worth it. You have two different frames and many bag and accessories to add to really customize to your needs. EXO and stone glacier are two other brands worth looking at. Is the pack gonna be for multi day trips, day hunts, or freighter use or any combo of those and that should steer you in the right direction. Packs are like quality boots, lots of great ones out there, but only a few will work specifically for you! I have done about a years worth of research on a pack and I am just now narrowing down the field to a couple. When you are spending $500+ on a pack you want to make the right decision. Good luck! By the way, my buddy has trail cam pics of the buck in your avatar. We bow hunted him the year you killed him. We had named him flair. Great deer for sure and he didn't go far from where we hunted him to where you shot him!

I hate thieves! They suck. But with the way things are nowadays I'm not surprised, even on private land. Blinds, cameras, stands, he'll even chalky sheds in front yards get stolen. I know some say it's Forrest service or azgfd or bunny huggers that take em but I will bet the vast majority of the theft is from fellow hunters. Comroderie between hunters that don't know each other is fading fast in the me first generation, and it has nothing to do with age! Sad deal.....

Rut, I met you on the 42 sheep hunt last year. Pm me if you need some help up there. I had a 13a arch and a 13a rifle tag in the last few years and could give you some pointers if you guys have the "a" tag. I got some spots in "b" as well. Congrats on the tag!!! Eric

Look at kifaru as well.

Great work on a great deer!

Sounds like you are interested in a guide for this hunt. get a hold of the guys at high desert outfitters. Nobody knows the cabeza better! See if they are willing to work something out with you. Never hurts to ask. Congrats on the tag and enjoy every minute of it!

Whoops my bad. Didn't see nr .... Congrats on the deer tag then!!!

Congrats on a sheep tag! Maybe a week or two before they post em up.

I know 3 guys that drew sheep tags! That's as close to drawing a tag myself as I will ever get it seems! Lmao. At least I get to go on a hunt !!!

One deer hit so far.

They are hitting cards for sure.got one deer hit.

Hopefully oneshot chimes in. He knows a lot about the unit and seems to be very helpful to guys in that unit. Like said above, lots o deer! They are high they are low and everywhere in between. One of the Funnest parts of any hunt is the scout so burn up tires and boot leather and have some fun! Good luck!

Facts and truth and honesty mean nothing to a liberal. They think only emotionally and want freebies and "fairness", and the ends justify the means. This country is now divided at every level, race, sex, financial status, religious. I dont ever see this changing till a MAJOR breakdown of the entire system. While the GOP fights on who is more conservitave the Dems are getting stronger and stronger. Every time a DEM says anything all DEMS nod their head in aggreement lock step no matter what is said, but no matter the stance of a REP everybody, even the same party, picks it apart and dissagrees and claims sexism, racism, hater, bigot, eleitist. Etc. Has the GOP ever heard of the phrase "divide and conquer"? It's what is happening to society and the GOP! End rant!

So a calf or fawn in distress sound might be a good coyote call up there right now? I'm bringing the rifle next time. Definatly a good time to call coyotes! The fur sucks but a dead dog is a dead dog!! When fawns drop here in about a month will be another good time to hunt em. Good luck! Im seeing a lot of fawns and and up to 200 cows in meadows, but not in 5b Sweet!!!! Lots of fawns is a good thing!!

You can even come over here, comit felonies, be deported, repeat this five times, then when you finally do something real bad like kill someone then the USA will finally do something....... Maybe....... Sad sad sad state of affairs in this country.... If you go to Mexico and comit ANY crime you will be put in jail for a long time..... Just saying..... It ain't gonna get any better guys.... The GOP can't get there crap together and stop the infighting so prepare for Hillary...
