Massamino, I grew up in Pa. till age 21, 1977 then came to Phx. In Pa. everybody just got drunk in camp and huntin was secondary.........LOL..................BOB!

Looks like rain and wind in Flag and Williams area for weekend. Didn't look at east side of state. Sucks for conditions for comfort. Birds will still be around if You like to get wet. Sucks for Turkey hunters. Moisture is good for my elk hunt this year, thats why I'M watchin the weather. Let it rain. Good luk Turkey hunters. ........BOB!

Over priced. Give Me a cold Bud light...........BOB!

Didn't come today either.........BOB!

So thats what they look like. Been a long time since I seen one............BOB!

According to the G&F website I drew tag #8.............BOB!

Could allways buy a vega or pinto. Problem solved................BOB!

After the hike I took today on My Turkey hunt I don't know if I can handle hiking unit 10. I might have to not use that tag or get in shape the next 5 months..........BOB!

One time in Phoenix I got another guys spring turkey tag. it was stuck to my envelope with my tag. I delivered it to the guy so u never know..........BOB!

Over the years called in 2 bobcats and 1 coyote callin turkeys. Good job.............BOB!

I was talking to an outffitter up here in N Dakota from Montana and his son about 25 years old and they were telling Me the son has killed 2 lopes with a bow by walking next to a horse. The lope only sees legs and not the human. Thought that was kinda cool....Good Luck.......BOB!

Some folks with few points get lucky, but for cow hunts if u really wanna hunt study the odds ,then do your home work scouting. Like I am a good example, only 20 points to draw my tag. 3rd AZ. tag in 25 years. first time cow first year, drew. 2 years later drew early rifle bull in unit 1. now I waited 19 years ,so I think it averages out over your life time........BOB!

Yup. IV'e seen em in unit one in a down pour out in the middle of a field eating. A little bit of snow don't bother em either. Fact I'M going out in about 6-7 hours and its snowing there rite now for about 3 hours says the weather channel. I hope it sticks . Better for glassing and tracking. Tomm. will be the first day with not much wind. Thats why I aint been out yet. 10 days into the season the wind will finally quit. Was 40 mph + today. I hate the wind............Hopefully some pics tomm nite...............BOB!

I had My one diesel, it was fine in AZ. but once it got to cold weather in N. Dakota. it ate up the $ in repairs. Dont take em in a frigid climate and you will be ok. And it was the 7.3. F350 I now have f150 with the 5.4. Great power..............BOB!

Fog up here is another bad one. The trucks that go 65mph in stuff You can't see in is amazing. I never drove truck till 4 years ago when I came up here to work in the oil . After seeing what iv'e seen I have lost all respect for truckers and don't trust any of em. I estimate about 80% of them shouldn't be on the road. Safety is all about slowing down and common sense. I'M sure all You Cops out there will agree. 4 or 5 times weather was so bad I refused to go out..........BOB!

People up north that are from here think they are invincable and they can drive just fine in any weather. They don't slow down , guys that fly by me , i see in the ditch or worse up the road aways.........BOB!

Didn't get mine but Am in N Dakota. Pony express this week I hope........BOB!

Congrats on 3 in a row........BOB!

Good job ,nice birdie..........BOB!

I would think theres only a couple 400" bulls in the whole unit if any. Just My guess, and they didn't get that big by being dumb. I could see tag soup if your holding out. Iv'e done it before on trophy hunts. I don't know the unit thats why I got someone helpin Me that knows the unit and hope for the best. Am I holdin out ? Ya but the first 370ish bull I see is in trouble. 15-20 inches don't look all that much different. What are we talking 1-2" per point longer. Just lookin forward towards the hunt............BOB!

Don't worry about gobblin. Go have fun , they will be there They talk on and off .Sit tite and be patient if You are in an area that holds turkeys. Just call a little ocasionally.......BOB!

I had a unit 1 early rifle bull tag in 96. First bull hunt ever. did it with just me and a buddy who knew no more than me at scoring. Terrible drought year, not many big bulls taken. on the second evening I shot a perfectly symetrical 6x6, 330" bull. As I learned more I wish i would a held out a little longer. 52 and 53" main beams, nice back 3 points ,the fronts were weak, only 12-13" descent mass average spread. I should be happy, most folk don't ever get one that big. But I had to have bigger. so I have waited 19 years to get this 10 tag. I have professional help this time as I don't have scouting time being in N. Dakota. And still a torn up shoulder. I want as big as I can get. Who knows ,it may not happen but my goal is to be there 4-5 days early and help scout. I can judge them well now, so I will know a shooter when we see him, if we do. I drew that 96 tag with only 3 points. So I paid my dues for this one. Goal of 370" ,if we can find bigger great. I hope there are some left. My helper says yes. I hope I'M not a few years to late.I will be 59 , 2 weeks before the hunt so I am gonna make this one of the funnest times of my life. First time I pressured myself. Wish Me well all. Good luck to the other tag holder as well...............BOB!

That is one Awesome looking Bull......BOB!

Great animals You harvested. You should Find Elk in 21 its just a matter of how big and can you get to them. Seen some nice bulls while bear hunting in there. Rough country .Get in shape. Good amount of Snakes too ,watch Your step. Good luck.........BOB!

I heard all the good guides are in 9 fighting over water holes! Murfhys69, If You want a 330 bull I got one on the wall You can have if You find Me a 400" or close. In all seriousness to Hunters and guides, how has it been since they put 100 tags on the early hunt. Is there to many people out there, and is there that many quality bulls left. Out of 100 tags last year I wonder how many harvested great Bulls and then how many good Bulls. How many of 100 went home empty . ..... Thanks..........BOB!
