I guess it's just coincidence that Pfizer, who was an Oscar sponsor just happens to be working on a drug to treat alopecia.

I have never fished jigs with much success except for smallies on the rip rap fingers of the Colorado River south of Blythe. And they were heavy because of river current. What do guys think is the best all around jig weight?

Another thought......units with multiple hunts, if there are 300 deer allowed in a given hunt are they going to allow all archery allocated deer to be taken in any given hunt or break it down to where 10 are allowed in the early hunt, 10 in December and 10 in Jan or start with 30 and whenever that number is reached shut down the archery hunts? Personally I would prefer to see it spread out for more hunting opportunity. The possibility would exist that all archery deer could be killed in the early hunt and that would close down the later hunts.

So if I use unit 42 as an example, 81 general bucks were taken. They are going to base the archery tags on 20% of that which would be 16 additonal deer or assume that the 81 deer represent 80% of the take and make a total of 101 deer taken?? That would add 20 deer to the total harvest??? I am confused.

Really have the itch to hit Alamo. Was at Havasu yesterday but didn't fish. Plan on heading back after Easter when it won't be so crazy. I haven't been smallie fishing in at least 20 years.

We should know soon. I had thoughts about unit 42 and the December closure. If they go to the quota system it should open up. In fact I would think that all units should open. It would give more opportunity to get away from the crowds and have a better quality hunt.

There are elk nearly anyplace in 6A you want to look. Just pick an area and start scouting. Seriously.

Archery antelope is a blast! I like it much better than rifle. I have been fortunate enough to draw 4 tags, one rifle and 3 archery and have filled all but once. And I think spot and stalk antelope is much easier than desert muleys. Not much challenge hunting antelope with a rifle. The success rates prove it. And 14 bp's are still low odds on many archery hunts.

06 is a good all around cartridge. If I had to have one rifle for western hunting i would choose a 7mm Magnum. If I can't do it with a 7 I probably shouldn't be doing it.

Drew a unit eight bull tag and an 18B antelope. Both archery

My last archery antelope. I drew this year with 11 points. I love bowhunting antelope!

thanks. I think God knows I am a short timer and let me hit the jackpot before I go.

Archery early bull elk, Archery antelope

Been there after over 30 years of marriage. It is comparable in some ways to a death. It takes lots of adjusting and time but it will eventually get better. It sounds like you shouldn’t consider reconciliation even if she wanted to. As hard as it is sometimes it’s better to walk away and start over.

Something similar happened to me in the bonus round. I didn't understand at the time how it happened. I put early archery 9 first, 10 second. I had enough points to draw 10 in the bonus round but not 9. I drew 10. Gotta be careful

I am seeing the biggest bucks of the year. I am encouraged. I have seen at least 4 bucks 180+ and another pushing that 200 mark. It’s been awhile since I have seen that many.

Sorry about the poor quality but it was starting to get late in the morning and I was getting heat waves. And he was at least a mile and a half off. I tried to cut a little bit out of that video and enlarge it but it didn’t turn out too well. You can’t really tell but he’s a 4 x 4. he is the third biggest buck I found this year. Going back this morning to see if I can find him again

Are you saying mule deer are easy?if you are I am in need of lessons because I get my butt handed to me hunting desert muleys

23. I let bulls walk in that unit just because of where they were. Packed one solo out of a canyon with thigh high snow drifts. Swore I would never hunt elk again. Better get in shape and eat your Wheaties.

I could never master back tension in a hunting situation but used one 75% of the time practicing. I had the yips so bad I could invent ways to punch the trigger. Back tension pretty much cured me of that. It carried over into hunting. I used an HME T handle with an index finger button. It could be shot similar to a hinge.

Saw 3 big bunches of does yesterday. Only one buck. With 6 bonus points he wasn’t big enough to sit out the year.

I have been hunting one of my favorite spots the last 3 days without seeing a deer and scarcely any sign. Dog tracks everywhere. Yesterday I glassed them up. A pack of 5 domestic dogs roaming the desert. I am thinking they have pushed the deer out. Time to move on I guess.
