I have an aluminium 17' Lowe 2 seater. It has some paint on it from back when I was a duck hunter. I'll post some pics tomorrow.

NOTHING

News to me, it seems Sig Sauer has developed proprietary cartridge for the military and its .277 cal. Claims 3000fps in a 16" barrel from a short action! Could this catch on if they actually offer other calibers and reloading components? https://www.gunsamerica.com/digest/277-sig-fury-demystified/ https://www.sigsauer.com/store/sig-cross-rifle.html

Rodger that! Good luck.

Tang stamps are a good indicator of age on the Western knives.

Western L66. Not sure how old it is. I bought it 12 years ago at a thrift shop. Revived the stacked leather handle an put a new edge on it. Used it on every hunt and animal since. I like old high carbon steel knives.

found the help I needed

I had that tag in 2012. The Fain Ranch and Deep Well ranch were open to walk-in hunters when I hunted it. I assume that is still the case. Azgfd should mail you a map of those areas. This is what they sent me. Pretty easy to find antelope up there. PM me if you have questions.

I wasn't born here but I'd support that.

We used a Kodiak and buddy heater in Utah this fall. Overnight lows around 10°. Tent was quite comfortable with the buddy heater. Still used a 0° bag but didn't need to bundle up. I'd say prob 50ish degrees all night. Way warmer than the -5° wind chill outside.

For the first time in 10 years I decided to hunt muleys. I got lucky and drew my second choice, Unit 17a. I have archery hunted the north side of 17b and spent some time exploring in 17a. I took two trips up this summer to check out some areas and familiarize myself with the roads. I arrived to my camp just of FR 95 on Thursday around noon and quickly set up camp before heading out to glass for the evening. I didn't turn anything up that night but I was pretty optimistic about finding deer the next morning. Opening day was windy most of the day. Didn't glass up a single deer that morning and all the sign I saw was old. The area had a small tank with plenty of water but didn't look like the deer were hitting it. The next morning I took a drive up to the top of Juniper Mesa to glass an old burn. The area looked great but the road hunters had it on their radar. I probably should have gone deeper but my frustration got the better of me and I abandon the area. The next day I got on deer. It was only a single doe but I had found a remote tank that had water and a deer sighting. So I was optimistic. I hiked back in the next morning and spent all day perched ~300 yards above the tank. The area looked fantastic. But other than a flock of turkeys, and a few elk rubs, the lone doe was all that I glassed up. After an uneventful Sunday morning my dad joined me for the evening hunt. We decided to head back to the tank I had seen the doe. However someone had beaten us there. The trail back to the tank was seldom used and seemed sketchy for even a SXS. However this hunter decided to drive his 3/4 ton quad cab long bed up the trail. I recon he had to stop about half way up when he saw how steep and narrow the trail got. IDK how he backed his truck down the trail, but I bet It sounded like carnage and was no small feat in the dark. We headed on down the road an hiked into a canyon that opened onto the O RO ranch. It was windy but the canyon looked great and I was sure we'd find a buck. As luck would have it a large boar was the canyons only occupant. IDK muck about bears but I gather they scare off the deer. This guy was in prime shape for the winter. His belly appeared to nearly drag on the ground as he walked. Monday we hiked in along Hitt wash out to Goat Mtn. We bumped into a skunk as we hiked in the dark, luckily none of his stink was deployed. We glassed up some Javelina but the deer were nowhere to be found. My dad left for home and I headed to some lower country near water along Williamson Valley road. I hiked up a long ridge to a vantage point and spent the next 3.5 hrs studying the distant hillsides and ridges. I thought this place surely held deer, but once again I was proven wrong. The new burn looks like it'll be good in a year or two. A lot of it burned pretty severe tho. Tuesday morning was my last opportunity of this trip. I was pretty tired and decided to take it easy and hike in behind walnut creek and see if I could find some deer coming off the ranch pastures. That morning produced more javelina but no deer. I packed up camp and took a drive up past Camp Wood and the Yolo ranch. I managed to pass 9 doe before I turned around at Connell Gultch. I thought for sure that finding water would be the hot ticket but never really found fresh sign at any of the tanks I checked. I'm heading back up Friday morning and I think I'll try my luck in the pines around camp wood and in the more open country near Antelope Tank. I need a break from the juniper jungle and manzanita tangles. At this point I just want a buck so I can smoke some summer sausage for Christmas. Next year I'm sticking with Coues.
