I can see it now.. I live within a softball's throw of that tower.

Not yet. We're pretty determined though! Caught some largemouth and bluegill.

Horsethief Basin 😃

State looking -"Road Closed" signs. Nothing permanent. Just three in the road, with the ability to drive around the easily.

Your freezer has to be massive! 😀

Im pretty sure mine are burned to the ground.. but I have to wait until they open to confirm.

Honestly, it's a 3 hour hunt. Pick a spot.. wait.. pull the trigger. 4 days of glorious trees and air.. I wish I lived closer.

Middle son scored a doe hunt in 12AW. That unit is just awesome. I can't wait. Might snow. Kinda hope it does. He's only got 1 youth hunt after this. We're going to make it count. Hope the fire didn't get everything..

I dont think there's any cell service either- just a fyi. I have a InReach for stuff like this.

That's just incredible.

There's some new land I wanted to check out past Horseshoe.. there was a fording point on the river. Most of you probably know about it.. it's on the way to Sheeps Bridge. (East of the river) Some of the roads I've walked up north of that point are just ridiculous.. can't take the Trucks. Now that I've got the side x side, I'm going to have to cross in that. I used to do it in the Yukon all the time - I'd just eyeball it. If it was relatively low then no problem. What's a ballpark estimate in CFS to even drive out and check? 300? It's over 1100 now. I'm going to take a pass if that's remotely accurate. https://streamflow.watershedconnection.com/Dwr Or maybe it's Tangle Creek I need to look at and not Horseshoe..

Cool. Let me know!

So 350 for a quarter? I'm in.

Do we have anything like this in AZ? And if not.. we need some. http://www.alertwildfire.org/oregon/index.html?v=81e003f

My boy got a jr deer hunt. Good enough! I’ll dust off my bow now..

Good luck all!

I might have some killer footage if they survived..

THanks!

Is Ord open now? I read the 87 was open now both ways..

West side of New River Mesa. Looks like the flames are close to the top. Might be the second year in a row the top has burned.

Just got another fire up by the house. "Central Fire" just a stones throw from New River. 250 acres and going. Can we just stop with the fires for a couple of days?

I think that’s the fire that shut down 87? Was going to Ord today but.. nah.

I love my wood stove. I’ve been rocking either a big horn or an Alaknak on my week-long hunts. The wood stove has never failed me. (Except once during a monsoon and the wind somehow smoked me out of the tent in a freaky experience) I’m spending some of my time in ‘isolation’ thinking about elk camp in dec. going to be cold. As much as I love my wood stove, I don’t love having to feed it all the time. I’m wondering if a pellet stove offers significance advantage in autonomy in the bush. Can anyone recommend a decent one for a tent? Is it really that advantageous over a wood stove?

Could use one of those as well.
