Non-Typical Solutions

One thing I really enjoy when we go down to the big city is pulling up to a stop light and have the car next door bumping so loud that it is making my rig vibrate. I roll down the window and turn Willie Nelson up as loud as I can get it......and then the bird flys.......makes me laugh. How about that camp that is playing music and shooting guns at all hours........had that happen way off in the middle of nowhere Smoothing Iron down in unit 27........the next night those same SOB's from Nogales were the same people who came out and helped rescue my mother in law who had gone out for a hike and could not make it back on her own. I was guilty of casting stones one night and having to eat crow the next night. I feel your pain and wish every time I went out camping I could have a peaceful starlit night with only the coyotes howling and the owls hooting and scaring the crap out of me, but that just isn't reality!!! Better luck to you out there next time!!!

Many thanks for people like you and your son who put it on the line for our freedoms!!! Hard to figure disrespecting the flag that represents the freedoms these spoiled brats enjoy!!!

That is awesome, way to stick with it!!! Looks like a brother to Coles first buck with that huge left Eye guard!!! Congratulations Logan!!!

Now that is a good one!!!

Where are you located??? Interested in looking at your trailer!

I remember as a kid in New Mexico buying my deer tag over the counter and being able to hunt anywhere in the state. As I was traveling down south this weekend I got to wondering what would happen to our hunts if: I am going to use easy numbers here........1000 tags per hunt. Example, First two weeks of October 1000 tags (by lottery draw) those tag holders could hunt anywhere they wanted in the state Second two weeks of October 1000 tags (by lottery draw) those tag holders could hunt anywhere they wanted in the state. Instead of having units it would be a statewide hunt, if I wanted to go to southern AZ I could go hunt there, if I wanted to hunt in my back yard, I could hunt there........ I know.....it sounds crazy but those of you that are numbers gurus what would happen to the wildlife populations? I realize I am setting myself up for some bashing but being the hands on person I am sometimes the numbers don't click upstairs for me........

I love 12:30 in the afternoon stories........great job!!

That first goat got a fast lesson in what do they call it......free base jumping??

Come on Safford let's see the pictures 6" of hail on the ground? That couldn't be good for the cotton crop!!! Crazy global warming 😂

Two personal experiences....... First one I transposed numbers on my application so I ended up in 36B.....and that is how I got to know about CWT......which has in and of itself been a great stumble for me. I enjoyed that hunt and thanks to the CWT members who pitched in and helped with some info. Second......I am going to hunt unit 23 mule deer this year knowing only what I have learned in several trips to that unit. Why that unit??? I wanted a unit that was more central to the people I wanted to hunt with and we wanted to try a mulie hunt after 10 years of chasing the white ghosts!!!

My example was a generalization....you would issue tags corresponding with current hunts throughout the hunting season. And the 1000 was just a number. It is a silly idea for sure but I was more curious really if people would hunt the areas they are familiar with and close to home instead of trekking clear across the state to a unit they knew nothing about because that was the unit they got drawn for.

Love the fall colors....cool picture!!!

We spent Saturday down at St. David......left Sunday morning and rolled through Safford about noon.....there were still piles of hail along the main drag......leaves laying all over the road.....it didn't look good. http://www.12news.com/news/local/arizona/overnight-storm-peppers-safford-with-hail-rain/332373939

Cool story sounds like a rush!!! Congratulations.....

I sure as heal wish I was somewhere close I could help you.......there has to be somebody kicking around over there!!!! Come on CWT!!!!

My 78 Ford left me one time way north of Ash Fork......alternator had gone on it. I went out to set up camp with my 6 and 4 year old boys. Ended having to walk 5 miles in the dark to the 7's ranch and got a ride on into Ash Fork. It is a night neither boy has forgotten. I really love my new truck but long for the day when my truck was not so computer driven. Any time that screen tells me something is jacked up with the brakes and then I take it in to get looked at they can't ever find anything. Best of luck to you out there, these newer rigs are not built for rocky roads and mud slinging.......

Prepare for your rates to go up, by the time Florida gets cleansed we are going to foot the bill!!!

I read about this in the local paper a couple of weeks ago and meant to post it. I haven't been there yet but would like to go check it out. I am glad to see something go in and hope it is a user friendly arrangement where people can go shoot. White Mountain Shooters Association has this as directions to get there. The range is located 4.5 miles east of the intersection of 77 and 60, on 60. When you see the 'Truck Crossing' sign, slow down, the range is on the next road to the right (South). It is Forest Service road 206. If you reach Bourdon Ranch Road, you have gone about 1/2 mile too far.

Wind is critical IMO........but educated dogs are tough. Sometimes I do a mix of woodpecker distress and squeaking mouse mixing it up, something that isn't "recorded" to sound like all the others calling out there......

Purple bottle Miralax at Wal Mart??? That is a big pile of poop!!!

Actually the first hunt is 7days long the second hunt is 7days then after the second hunt everyone drawn for that hunt gets to hunt the remainder of the hunt, normally two more weeks. Now I'm not a turkey hunting expert by any means but in general the hens are laying on their eggs by the first week of May. Hens can have up to three nest attempts if earlier nests fail. I don"t believe it matters at what elevation you hunt. Here is a picture of a young man I mentored last years youth hunt (a week prior to the opener) at over 9000 ft elevation. Personally I like the later hunts the older bigger gobblers are easier to call in because they are not with their hens. Good luck which ever season you choose. Awesome picture!!!!

Quote from Fitzgerald, "Yeah, it was great to drive around seeing all the Cardinals flags flying in peoples yards and now they are all gone!!! We need to play ball and get those flags flying again!!" No matter what you gotta love Fitz!!!

Best of luck to you guys.....that should prove to be a great time, be sure to take pictures, they are priceless when you get older and they have left home!!!
