Really? That's great. I rather hunt pigs and doves more than anything. Good deal Chris, if you boned it out brine the meat twice for 4-6 hours each time in a bucket of ice water then drain it in a sift or collander for a week and rinses it off every day. Makes it really ternder.

I'll Take them. I'll send you a PM,

"Extinction Probability The small population of white-tailed deer in the Ajo Mountains possibly contained only two breeding females in 1978. With any population of this size, there exists a definite possibility of extinction occurring. Rosenzweig (1975) lists four causes of extinction: (1) its fundamental niche might disappear; (2) it may become involved in overexploitation; (3) it may be outcompeted; and (4) it may be a victim of an accident. All four of these causes may be operative with white-tailed deer in the Ajo Mountains, including the very real possibility of the whitetail's fundamental niche disappearing. Hastings and Turner (1965) concluded that a climatic change has been occurring in Arizona since the 1870's,' leading to dryer, warmer conditions. Average rainfall may have decreased 3 in (7.6 cm) and caused an upward shift of vegetation zones of 1000 ft (300 m). A continuation of this trend would bring lower desert conditions to the top of the Ajos and likely eliminate white-tailed deer habitat."

Takem when you can. Congrats on a mature buck.

Unfortunately is is not just AZ and CA and over the last five years has gotten more publicity it has been on the table for a very long time. https://www.fs.usda.gov/science-technology/travel-management

Nice thing that is often overlooked is the spent shells stay in the gun instead of staying behind, who knows where, as evidence.

I also have the old R2D2 Brinkman. A bunch or work for sure.

This is the way I have understood it also. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I've only ever put in for Bull hunts over the years or just a BP if I knew I would be able to hunt that year. I'm up to 9 going into the next draw.

You can't just post a picture like that without a story.

Midway USA has it on sale.

Thanks for granting him access anyway. It seems to get harder and harder every year.

I'd say you have a 90% of getting into them.

Biggest Crappie I've ever seen.

I bet that gave him something to crow about.

Nice and tall.

Ok Mr Home Depot fess up. What did you buy? LOL

You know what they say about opinions. Which is really what this whole post is about. Ramblings, nothing more.

Some of what Boudreaux speaks is helpful. Of course not all of LA has swamp. Lots of marsh and just plain ole dry ground.

Talk to Cedr1k, he has a post in this forum and would probably jump at the chance to have an experienced person like your self mentor him.

If you can get out and hunt for the first few hours when there is still some dew on the ground before it dries out it will be quieter. Some boots have harder soles than others and will be more noisy. Be aware of the wind direction. I like to use a cover scent like Hunter Specialities Wafers in Fresh Earth. Since you are new to hunting the desert take a pocket sized mens comb afield. It will be the easiest way to remove any cholla cactus pods that you get on you. Put the comb between the pod and you then pop it off. I also carry a metal tweezer in a small first aid kit to pull out the really fine stickers that surround the bigger spines on Prickly Pear Cactus, AKA Beaver Tail. DO you have a 4WD vehicle?

Looks like one I found in Supai.

They say when the Alpha Wolf in a pack gets mortally injured the pack turns on him and eats him. Not much different here on CWT.

Very Kewl

Great that you were able to find it. This past year my son and I went to Ben Avery when they had a big show and there were some full autos with supressors we were able to shoot. My son had fired a few rounds through one when the supressor blew off and went about 30 feet down range.
