someone try to get me the officers name for the area n of the 303 see what happens !?

UNIT 6B Down to low pocket - lucky to do 5 miles and hr lava rock city -- in my top 10 --

I guess we need a meeting with the commissioners where they are obligated to invite law enforcement for all the surrrounding cities--- so everything and everyone is on the same page WHERE AND HOW THE BOUNDARIES FOR DOVE SEASON ARE ENFORCED - ! - no more of this I dobn't know the law crap !!!!

new G&F twist - I called and asked for the game warden / officer in charge of the area n of 303 loop was advised to contact mesa office for that information was told at mesa office -- they no longer give out the officers information - new policy I asked - what if i'm in the field and local police are hazzling me and I need to contact a G&F officer Sorry you'll have to contact the main office about that problem and any questions you may have because of new policy what next !

probably on the BO

u get to phx at all ?

i was gona say by lake unpleasant also - think i was back in there many many yrs ago piggy hunting . never went back lol

yep - had ordered 1 but me thinks 2 would be better Had some from Honey farmer in Marana - great stuff

Thanks Hoss but that puts me in that 100 mile found trip zone - i may try between lake pleasnt and the prison or out patton rd. but not tomorrow - save my gas money for something better! good luck all all this newly annexed land by Phx.- Peoria - Surprise pretty much makes hunting anywhere within 30- 40 miles north or West of PHx out of question - for an area that will be worth trying - me thinks

huntntat2 you can believe anything you want about those sheds but looks muley to me!

as far as phx - pick the side otf town you'll be exiting the most - do not buy west side if you want to go hunting / fishing in eastern az etc - can / will add 1-2 hrs commute just to get thru PHX. not kidding

wickenburg is a nice area - almost as hot as phx - hunting in your back yard for javelina - deer - predators etc. close to lakes and fishing - its the back way to elk country thru prescott - not to far from Phx to get all the city life needed but out just far enough to enjoy country life style

goodwill - is hit and miss and not your size usually post up what size your are as I've seen more deals here in classified than anywhere else everyone here most likely has way to much camo as it is and they usually are still buying do a wtb size large - here in classified and get what you need in great used condition

happens every yr - kinda like you need some non- hunter to just stay in camp

i have a Zebu cow decoy you can use - one of the original idea for all these new cow decoys gary 602-993-2657 n phx

Anyone got a little spot for a handicaped hunter-- he doesnt really concider hisself handicapped but is basically imobil due to several back surgeries - I'll most likely have to play go fetch just want to get him out at least once and shoot a few birds. live north phx - not many places up here anymore even a spot you 'd concider your 2nd 3rd choice just askin - wanted to do the in s - phx farm shoot - last yr but fees and they were booked - it didnt work out thanks to all possible replies I didn't even get out last yr . -- cities have annexed all the close hunting - not really wanting to drive 100 + miles to shoot a few mouthfuls anymore

380+ rough guess

I was only the guy carring the pack / camp cook /glasser - the hunt was always my son's decisions - what time to get up - which way to go - where /when to glass-- most every detail of the hunt itself. it's his tag - if he wants to wait and pass on bucks the first few days - I say nothing -he passed a nice 70 class little basket 3 point only to go home with no deer tagged. now he knows why I didn't always come home with a deer - I usually pass on small/ young deer - hate the sinewy fibers of undeveloped muscle on those spikes / less meat for freezer- usually made for chewy burger it seems to prepare them for a better life and the ups and downs of the decisions one makes along the way

with all the monsoons / heavy rains - it looks like water made to me also - exposed dirt can dry quickly flash flood water running down hill will not be smooth path on a hillside - to many rocks/ small limbs - etc who knows may have been an old elk / deer trail where tracks were washed away too !

call and ask to talk to the ranger / G&F officer - whom will give you a citation if its illegal!!

all over Colorado last week oh that was me ! - lol

from my little experience -- most likely someone from the neighborhood whom has noticed to loading / unloading hunting stuff. it's easy to see someone loading up for a camping/ hunting / trip - not so much as to know what you have - but know you have it . I'm over carefull these days when loading guns / hunting gear etc. especially-- never the night before hunt to have it stolen ? burglarized from your home sucks! was a lot more taken or just the hunting gear ? no specifics - just askin thanks for the heads-up - just never know where it'll show or even if it will Bummer!

bottom line - besides all the "HUNT" if you are not prepared to take care of the meat in the field - especially solo - do not hunt so far off a road- that it makes the task harder than it should be ! packing out a elk - even a mile by yourself can be an all day event.- after dark = an all nighter trophy's are not worth a spoiled elk carcass! know your limits - be prepared make a clean kill if possible with the best shot placement = get'm close i'll still hunt and stalk - chase bugles all morning and afternoon but come late afternoon i'm setting water or a traveled trail less than a mile from camp-- especially if i'm alone Enjoy your hunts - tag an elk and take care of the meat good luck to you all ! hunting alone has advantages and disadvantages - have fun - hunt smart

with the atv u have in the back - youy'll be fine - lol nowadays you want someone armed in camp just to protect your stuff from thieves!!
