Got back in there with some cables ropes pulleys and got her back on the road last Friday, was a long day. Very grateful to my crew of ATV extractors. It was in an area that a truck couldn't get into. Will have to think carefully about the places I go into alone next time. Happy hunting everyone.

I was out scouting in unit 31 in blm land north of klondyke road and my atv slid off the road climbing out of a canyon. If anyone has experience/skills in pulling out atvs, or knows anyone in Safford with a side by side and a tow cable let me know. Please send me a text or call if you are available. Joe 928-853-5774

I guess everyone enjoys some shade in the pines...

Well I had a week off in October and thought leftover turkey tags would be a good reason to go learn the kaibab better. Anyone heading up there and want to share a camp? Send me a PM. Still 300 or so tags left... Joe

Making a big move! Just accepted a job in Anchorage, Alaska. Winters are going to be cold, but hey grizzly, goat, sheep, moose, wolf, caribou, sitka deer trips will help me get through it. So right now I have my trusty 270 as my only rifle. What additional rifle do you recommend I purchase? I would feel undergunned if a grizzly makes trouble. I hear a lot about 375 H&H, are others better? Appreciate your advice. Joe

170 antelope down to 30, that doesn't sound good. I googled sasabe and antelope and came across this unrelated coues hunt on youtube. I would hire those guys as my guides only if they let me drink out of the magic flask before shooting. Anyone able to translate the spanish? Casey?

Anyone know how the antelope are doing down by Sasabe? I haven't hunted down there for ten years but used to see some decent bucks on the refuge. I kept expecting to see a tag one of these years.

You are right Lee's Ferry. I was working in Tuba City last May and this was one of the areas we frequented on our time off. No fishing, our 6 month baby adjusted our priorities. Hanging out there really makes you want to raft the Grand Canyon. We did hike a mile or so upstream and saw the remains of the sunken ferry, ore processor etc. I guess you can take a boat nearly up to the dam. I was thinking it might be a fun trip to drop a kayak in below Glenn Canyon Dam with a bow during archery season and float and shoot a Colorado River muley. I think it is 12B on the north side and Navajo Nation on the south. Has anyone seen wildlife along that stretch? There must be deer and sheep in there, I have seen them further down stream in the canyon. I wonder if the continuous boat traffic might make it lousy hunting, maybe early morning midweek.

I like how the reflections turned out. Any guesses where?

Starting the boy young, he needs to crawl around and find the other side!

Nicholas was asking when he could take hunter's ed? He is new to coues hunting, does anyone have any general areas in 36C (no honey holes) that he could scout. He wants a recommendation on a huntin rifle without too much recoil for a 5 day old. He also wants to put in for bonus points on sheep and speedgoat so he can get drawn before his hip goes bad. Also, he had some questions on salt, people who steal tree cams, ATVs, lions...

A big congrats to Trevor and Tanner!!!!! Before you know it they will be guiding there little sister on her first hunt. I wish I could have been there...Joe

Or possible lion kill, volvo kill, black jack pizza food poisoning kill, suicide, lead poisoning, who will ever know?

Kevin should be back in town soon to tell the story, he is trying to help his buddy get one on the last few days. Here is another pic...
