CouesPursuit

If someone buys this and wants an even trade toward the upgraded version, let me know. Basically brand new replacement that I don't use often and preferred this model for the bottom zipper access when I do. Amazingly light pack for carrying small-medium loads. GLWS.

Agreed and to which I think the wet monsoon played a role. Tough for most archers to kill a coues deer without sitting water or using cameras. This year should be different.

Well done guys. Good luck!

"Recognizing the critical role that sportsmen and sportswomen have played, and continue to play, in wildlife restoration and conservation in the area, the proclamation requires that a monument advisory committee include representation from both the sportsmen and sportswomen community, as well as representation from the Arizona Game and Fish Department. It also directs the monument advisory committee to include representation from the ranching community. The proclamation respects existing livestock grazing permits on lands within the monument. The national monument designation recognizes and respects valid existing rights." They make it sound good.

You boys know how to manage a walleye. Well done.

Bunch of premier members in here!

Nice work. What components and load are you using?

My 2000 450ES has been through an adventure novel. Great machine. GLWS.

Thanks for sharing the report. Always a great time when some fish were caught and all the equipment performed and came home in one piece.

I am still looking for another option closer to the east valley for now. Thx.

This gun is ready to shoot at a great price but almost too good of condition and location isn't favorable. Thanks for trying.

I process everything and did just 5-10% fat from a pork shoulder. Crockpot the pork. No fat when I'm making jerky sticks on other game.

My guess is your guess is correct. Not the chicken! Lion is without a doubt the best wild game I've had. The sheep, especially as a brat, was delicious and I don't enjoy "gamey" meats. I love coues deer and taste a clear difference from mule deer.

Missing the walleye described in another thread but this was a rare feast a few weeks prior to that which was worth documenting.

Right on, NOTAGS. The surface temps surely weren't in a favoring direction. Also, the one guide I keep in touch with up there said the trout stabilized quickly after the floods this year and somewhat shrugged off my same question to him. Unfortunately, I think the Instagram of Horseshoe Bend the last decade put the backhaul on too manys radar for years to come.

Just a few in the same school around 12 mile in my last evening but I would bet they were targetable for the remaining summer. I heard smallmouth were caught 2 weeks later. It was tough to get off the incredible cicada bite but after seeing a number of non-trout schools hugging the bottom in eddies, I had to find out what they were. I dropped a 3/8oz kastmaster and vertical jigged 3 out in the 2-3lb range and lost one that was 5-6lb all in 30 minutes. I'll never forget seeing the gills flare and yellow flash when I hooked my first. That last night my camp ate coues and lion fillet, my last sheep brats and walleye. Wish I had a picture for the dinner thread.

Not being a wise a** but had the best summer bite for competing rainbows and browns in the last decade last summer with those temps in addition to bonus walleye and stripers, wish it was 65F again this year tbh.

Anyone hunting sheep unguided in 41W and wants a head start, send a pm.

Knowing OP and the suggestion, I'd give Jarrod a call. Tell him I sent you also.

Wild conspiracy solely for conversation and of course not likely in the slightest, but what protection exists against the thousands of existing antis with $, especially west coast newcomers, that could join forces after realizing they would save a deer for a little over $100/year? Bonus points? Could never happen?

Yes, but now you have a significant number of yahoos not skyblasting your early season birds everywhere.

Good lookin' food! Since it doesn't have to be tonight, a recent crappie fry.

Units with 2+ tags that didn't go to max BP holders in the BP report last year are your best chance.

We sleep mom, dad, 2 kids on bunk cots and a dog+ in our 10x14 without complaints. Bunk cots are key.

Overland/keep it!
