I was going to book for wife and my vehicle but got message don’t service area. Live in west valley. If you change your service area let me know.

Has the Grand Canyon Park Buffalo hunt happen yet? Haven’t seen any pictures or heard anything about the hunt yet? kHunter? How was your hunt??

Wife through away our recent flyer we got in mail. Email I got recently has a Cannon 43.8 for $1,099

Costco had a big Liberty Safe in this weeks sale flyer.

Midway USA has deals quite often on Peak Refuel and Mountain House.

There is DIY tags down there if you do your research and scout some ranches. Cutting out the outfitter saves a lot of money but still not cheap but better then $55k+.

You need to ask your dad, does he want a hunt or just show up to pull a trigger. Choose outfitter based on answer. Not much enjoyment or experience for the later but to each their own I guess. i would go with Dave Matthews or one of the Bundys.

Great looking Buffalo, congrats.

Read recently there was a conflict up on North Rim with the Buffalo hunters and trail cameras, sounded like guns made it interesting. Don’t know all the details but would be interested in more details and who involved.

This was more about problems in 9 and strip.

I got a good laugh at a few on this list.

We spent a week there last year on Northern end which was much better than South Lake Tahoe if you are wanting to get away from crowds. I called a month ahead of time and the fishing boats were booked up already. I never seen a houseboat on the lake but that would be perfect. Crystal clear water.

Get what you pay for. Probably cost more if caught breaking laws depending on fines.

The experience as a DIYer is tough to beat and accomplishment. But if an outfitter is what you want, you should call Mogollon Rim Outfitters, don’t think you will meet a better outfitter/guides out there. Ground Pounders do kill giants in 23 every year.

AZ G&F continues to disappoint. Just can’t pull their crap together. Makes sense why our Antelope and Elk quality is going down hill with these idiots in charge.

Or 10 day’s more

Months later and continuing to jack up non resident fees.

This issue and how could they not be ready for the Elk and Antelope draw definitely puts AZ G&F at the top of worst G&F Departments in the US. Excuse of 10% more apps is ridiculous. If we didn’t have Reservations and National Park to protect the elk from AZ G&F there would be a lot less apps.

24 Antelope and 13 Elk. Have not drawn Antelope tag yet but have drawn a couple of Archery elk tags. Crazy AZ G&F have the worst online app process in the west IMO and still can’t get it right with all the time they had prior to the Elk/Ant draw Sure hope they are holding someone accountable for the bs

Some are so worried they will be forgotten without being able to run cameras. Boots on the ground will mean something again.

You might want to look what SLCs have sold for in the past on here

Won’t see this covered on TV News Stations across US. Very Sad

AGREE This is a problem and going to get worse when cameras get banned or seasons are set. Outfitters, and maybe a couple DIY hunters, will do everthing possible to look good on social media and don’t care about overall hunting experience for anyone. Spotlighting and Radios is another issue during seasons IMO.

I use ether(starting fluid) put hide in trash bag and spray quite a bit in bag and tie off. In 30 minutes you should be good to go. If you by chance see a live one I will re-gas again. I had to this a couple times this year and was a first, thinking the cans I bought didn’t have a high ether content. We bring in a camp helper to help with hides, boiling and anything else we can think of. We each give him $100 and best money ever spent. We double check(1-3 hours)and freeze until day before we leave. The gentleman that Basser15 mentioned would give us a hard time about the ether smell but he would get over it. Glad to hear he is gone. i also think having them in a big zip lock bag all cleaned up and looking like we cared for them helps. If you would have seen the mess the others hunters dumped out was an embarrassment to all of us that go down.

We have not had any issues brining hides across and all 7 this year had no issues. Spend the time cleaning and doing what is required and you won’t have any issues. There was a group crossing at same time this year as us and there hides looked like they rolled them in dirt to hide the live ticks I think. And they still tried to arque, idiots. Apparently this year a lot of guys are bringing hides to border with live ticks still which everyone knows is a no go. Do whats is needed and required and you will be good to go!
