You and your 15 year old got drawn for tags, and now you're trying to decide if it's safe??? Just kidding...... 36C is safe! Just be smart....... I don't have any detailed knowledge of how the herd is doing there, but I know there are plenty of muleys. Hunt in the lower elevations. Get on a hill above some nice big flat mesquite covered country and glass, glass, glass..... You should see some deer. Good luck! S.

You're pictures are torturing me Doug!! Sincere thanks for letting me see the beauty that is out there in the world, while I'm sitting here slaving away in my 'cube/office'! S. PS: I think that first picture is amazing! Love the rainbow of flower colors......

+1 on the knowledge that Mike has shared at the ADA Hunter Clinics! Also, he has been a great supporter by donating burgers/dogs in the past. Welcome Mike!! S.

Great stuff Amanda!!!! S.

Amazing pics as always, Doug! The yellow flowers remind me of last September's archery hunt, not too far from there...... Good show, friend! S.

I suppose 6A. Primarily because it isn't too hard to get drawn for, and I can be there in 90 minutes from my HOT desert home! S.

Great pics! Thanks for sharing...... Congrats on your 1st Place ribbon!! S.

200-350# for most? Maybe 500#? Just guesses..... Suppose an outfitter or butcher might chime in. S.

I always figured it was just a funny 'tongue in cheek' expression used by hard-core coues fanatics in reference to the muleys!! What does it mean? Well, what is a Carp usually associated with when fishing? A big old nasty thing, that you would generally not want to catch! All in good fun, for sure! S.

Awesome on the sheep tag for your son Mark!!! Outstanding! S.

BIG congrats on that tag!!!!! Good luck! S.

My two youngest kids got early Junior permits in 36A (any antlered deer)! It's going to be hot, but could be a fun hunt. Only 50 tags issued, so crowds should not be an issue. October Whitetail , three weeks later for their older brother and I! Good luck to all! S.

Cheers TJ!!! S.

VERY cool! Thanks for the quick run-down of your trip!!! Also, thanks for sharing with the site!! S.

Hope they get a handle on it soon!!! Kind of a drag having a fire with my name!! (Although I understand it was named for the location.... ) S.

Nice! Thanks for sharing with the site!! S.

Great buck! Thanks for sharing!! Maybe you should change your handle on this site!! S.

+1 ragu!!! That being said, I've fished the Black River once a year for the past several........ I'm looking forward to a trip this summer's trip too! What do folks think the Wallow fire impact will be though? I'm thinking that once the summer rain starts, that the Black might be in for a muddy, ash filled summer! Hopefully the fish can stay tough and ride it out. S.

Priceless!!!! Lovely pics! Thanks for sharing! S.

Thanks Jackshoe! Yes, Ruby is a great dog. The kids absolutely adore her, and vise-versa! She is a real sweetie with the kids/family, and a tireless hunter/camper too! S.

Be sure to do a search on 'tents' here in the forums! I think there are several threads that have debated the ups/downs of the various tents! I've got the Cabela's 12x12 Alaknak. I also have the Camo-cot bunk set-up and can easily sleep 4 comfortably. A great family/hunting tent, IMO. I also have the vestibule, which adds LOTS of covered storage and/or sitting space if needed. Some folks prefer canvas over the poly material that the Alaknak constructed with..... http://www.cabelas.com/product/Cabelas-Ultimate-Alaknak8482-Tent/732548.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fsearch.cmd%3Fform_state%3DsearchForm%26N%3D0%26fsch%3Dtrue%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26Ntt%3Dalaknak%26WTz_l%3DHeader%253BSearch-All%2BProducts&Ntt=alaknak&WTz_l=Header%3BSearch-All+Products Good luck! S.

Yes, awesome dog pics!!!! S.

Yes, I am a procrastinator...... Just completed applications for the kids and I over the weekend! Good luck in the draw, folks!!! S.

AWESOME!!!! Thanks much for sharing! S.

That looks like an AWESOME time!!!! Thanks for the cool pics! Congrats on a great time, and thanks for sharing! S.
