Well, my wife let me know we had a $300 charge today and wondered why it was so much compared to the $45 charge. LOL. Ever since then I have been high as a kite (figure of speech people) and super distracted at work. It will be a long few days to see the results in the portal and find out if it was my 11 year old son, my wife or myself that drew. From that I can say it will be unit 28 or 31/32 that one of us drew. Our point totals range from 2, 15, and 20 respectively. Anyone else?!! Jeff

Some of you really know how to kick a man while he is down even after a public apology! Thanks! As far as the 31-32 question, one of the tag holders drew with 21 points. Congrats to him and anyone else that drew a sheep tag. Jeff

It was easy

Yep, I'm an idiot that kicked myself in the nuts. No sheep tag. I knew it was too good to be true. I put my oldest daughter in for a late rifle hunt, and she drew it as a non-resident and that is the $300 charge. Great hunt but no sheep tag. I drew a deer tag too. Sorry for all the hype! Jeff

Page isn't working right now!

They certainly make it hard but not impossible to find the data. LOL https://www.azgfd.com/hunting/hunt-draw-and-licenses/harvest-reporting/ That is impressive to have an average age and score for four rams coming from unit 28 last year. Does anyone have pictures of them from last year? I saw a couple youtube videos from Dieringer outfitters that is probably one of them.

Thanks, I will do that. Jeff

Any results?

Thanks and congratulations to the others that drew! EddieLV- I've checked my wife and my e-tag apps and nothing so far. I'll keep at it or just wait. LOL. I don't have one set up for my son. I'll certainly keep you all updated. Flatlander- It is in the cards and actually my wife and I talked about an outfitter tonight. LOL. We'll probably try to do it ourselves with help from friends and family. I live in Safford so I have no excuse to do lots of scouting whichever hunt we draw. Jeff

Thanks! Some of my friends have advised me to consider going out on FMLA for November or December lol. I'll definitely contact you if we drew 31/32. Thanks again.

Well, this blessed Gila Valley needs a piano tuner. If you ever get out here please contact me. Thanks for the reply! Jeff

What happened to the bolt catch?

Moondizzle, Ever make it to Safford? (I am aware this post is from 9/23) Jeff

Great stuff!

Will do, thanks!! Jeff

Resurrecting this post if the above folks don't mind. LOL My son has the youth tag starting April 18th and I have been racking my brain when I have ever seen turkey in 3c. My in laws live in Taylor so I have helped on several elk hunts in that unit and have spent plenty of time between HW 260 and the Rim road but I haven't run into any turkey. I haven't seen any north of 260 either. LOL Any areas around Pinedale or the Pinedale road to Taylor? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Jeff

Yep, got almost 6 more weeks! My son has a 3a/3c youth tag! Can't wait! Jeff

Hatchet Jack, Sounds like you need to come back this way. A few things have changed since you left but not much. You already know what you are getting into with Pima, Thatcher and Safford. Central has changed with more houses and less cotton fields. My wife is from Taylor and when I retire we may move\up that way. Round Valley is nice too. Sorry, I'm more familiar with the east side of the state than the places you mentioned considering. Jeff

Good to hear! I check in on him frequently at work when I see him. I got the same out of him. Good kid. Jeff

Wow! Can't believe I missed this. Great story and even better to have done that with your son. Would love to hear what the big one scores!! I'm guessing 131. Jeff

You are in luck! I just sent my Viper HS LR back to Vortex and they sent me a new Viper. I have about a 12 CRS shims you can have. Send me your address and I'll just mail them unless you'll be in Safford sometime soon. LOL Jeff

I know it is very specific but I am looking for a Tristar Viper G2 Semi-auto compact in .410. Would prefer camo but since these are not easy to find so black (#24113) would be fine too. All the box stores seem to be out but I found a few on GunBroker and a couple on Guns America. I'll go that route if I can't find one here. Posted in Classifieds as well. Thanks!! Jeff
