Good Day to All the fellow CWT members getting juiced up for the upcoming hunts ... I have a question I hope Some locals in the Arivaca area may be able to help me with ... I am needing to find out if you know of any local Trailer storages with a resonable rate for my Dads 5th wheel... We will be up scouting and he is hoping to find a place to store it for a couple weeks down close to the hunting grounds ... We will be down on the weekend of the 10th to scout and back down for our hunt and to take it to the field in unit 36? around the 21st ... Any suggestions would help big time and hopefully help him save some $$$ on the gas it takes to haul it .... Thanks in Advance for any info Chris

What An Awesome Bull ..... Sure looks like 3C to me

From my experiences down south ... They all want to try to be illusive and unseen by people period... Especially the Mules ... But if they get desperate they will take the risks especially if in need for food and water ... most issues I have heard of deal with loss of food and water since they are on the move they are trying to keep it as light as possible and not going to spend alot of time in a camp if they even intrude... We secure Ice Chests and all food goes in locked Storage lockers .... We also leave nothing to small or light that may be desireable to some one on the trek... We have had no issues with sleeping bags nor tents (they do not use them).... Also depending on the travel of the road you are camped on odds are you wont get much if any IA traffic at day hours and at night I have heard of many different ways guys use to set up some type of perimeter at their camp but personally I think our group of Snoring hunters send them way out around (think it sounds like a den of bears) so we have yet to do anything ... We do sleep with our guns close though just in case !!!!

Carp there are a couple other roads that run back in the area but won't get you as deep in as the mercers gated roads and they are a heck of alot rougher ... the back area of copper canyon always seems to have a pretty big hunter density right around where the road comes into the locked gates ... But even if your not using the Mercers roads for access with a quad or horse you have alot of inlets that will get you close ... the fork off Tom Rhodes was washed out when we hunted it last So no full sized vehicles would make it through toward the Butte but many were making it in there with quads .... lots of good country between there and the mercers gates .... but best access into the wilderness towards the northwest side of cake mountain is the trailhead right at the ranch house on the mercers ranch through their rodes....

Concealed carry! + 1 on the CC ... Dead Scum is the best kind of Scum
-
It is good to hear of his safe return . . . At the same time really messed up about the circumstances... any idea on why it took so long? was leaving him unconscious actually the intent of the Scum or did he get lucky ?

Congressman Joe Wilson
Str8Shot replied to bowsniper's topic in Political Discussions related to hunting
Look the Simple Truth is that no matter how it is worded in the BILL.... Our President ( A Lawyer) Knows that the Constitution will override the US citizen only part of the bill.... To deny an Illegal Alien health care under a public plan is unconstitutional and would spend no time in the supreme court being overturned allowing for the the masses of illegals to get covered .... I think he likes painting these verbal illusions and in the end will tell the Voters I made it this way but I have no control over the constitution and supreme court decision.... Just like the shell games this administration is playing with the economy and using x dollars from the right pocket to feed the empty poket on the left ... It will all catch up and it is just a matter of time before every program from stimulus to cash for clunkers to health care all show the real price tag we are paying .... It will not be long from now we all will be enlightened by how much of our own debt we are buying back under the pretence from the President that we would not do so ..... Printing More money to consume our own debt through a third party so that it seems legit and hidden is going to have a much longer and larger impact on our dollar making it worth less and less for a much longer time than Obama will be in office.... -
Very Nice Bull !!!! love that mass

Ok been a couple years but in Unit 32 I can give you some areas you may want to check on your scouting trips ... Private Property and limited access can be a pain but if you do your homework and are willing to get off the beaten path you will find em... Going down river road aong the San Pedro one of the fisrt places that you may try is the copper canyon area (roads are very rough in many spots and wash out often due to weather) unfortunately as you make the loop way back (already in deer country ) you will probably run into some locked gates.... from there try any side roads or hiking and lots of glassing they are there watching you.... Now about the gates .... I have not been up since the Mercers brought in the mining operation so I don't know what if any changes have been made but they were allowing 25 tagged hunters(2 years ago it was 25$ a head for the entire hunt G&F HAs the Number) through the gates with access to alot of great wilderness if you want to again hike ... good area for base camp and cold camps out in the mountains heading back in towards Cake mountain north-east through the range is kolondike and Arivaipa Canyon can not tell you how the access is through the Arivaipa side but I am sure the local G&F office can (in was completely washed out and closed to all access a couple years ago) Now if you keep going south on River road past the mercers you head east on Tom Rhodes Ranch rode and take it back all the way til you get to the wilderness areas There are good quad rodes heading North off the road taking you from the south east side of sombrarro butte all the way up towards the area accessed through the mercers private property if you continue east on TR ranch rode you will come to private property that allows access Must sign in at gate and once the rode ends it is By Hoof or Foot only good country though... I have spent some time in the winchesters and have spotted Coues in small pockets there but far less than the numbers of Mule Deer the big issue with the west side of the winchesters is much more limited access ... couple years ago lots of locked gates but if you use your maps and look for the power lines going over the mountains there will be roads that are worth taking just keep your eyes on the tight deep drainages as the roads switch back they like to hide right under your nose sometimes you will also find some good glassing spots can be found .... Won't give any GPS data but Hope this helps there is more than enough land out there to help a fellow hunter and in in 32 your are still going to have to put in the hours and scouting trips P.S. the water table makes for some very good spring locations in lots of remote areas ... get your maps out and look for them Hope this helps !!!! Chris

What's Up With The Signs
Str8Shot replied to wardsoutfitters's topic in Coues Deer Hunting in Arizona
Sounds like down in unit 32.... All my years in az I have seen it from time to time and I think it comes down to who maintains the fence line (not 100 percent on that but just a guess) but I do know it is not new and if anything it may be more of an old practice I am sure game and fish will let you know -
Glad to hear he was able to take care of you .....

Ground blinds and photo radar
Str8Shot replied to Non-Typical Solutions's topic in Coues Deer Hunting in Arizona
I hear ya there...... Can't lose em if your not using em ..... And as far as the signs on photo radar that is based on entraptment laws and it being illeagle to do so, and we stilll have the constitutionality of photo radars and I don't think yet to date one was able to take the stand and answer questions from the accused ones counsel ... So is the next logical step to attach the photo radar to a missle launcher and shoot down the unknowing like and archer from a treestand?????? -
