Little Creek Calls

I have been doing a little research as well. Just curious if you have found any you are most interested in? If money wasn't an issue I think I would go with the Tetra AmpPods 90 programmed for turkey. I talked to the owners at the NWTF national convention and it seems like a great product but even with the 10% NWTF discount it is a little more than I want to spend.

You are going fishing along Bonita, Pacheta, Hurricane and Reservation creeks. Buy a daily fishing permit and take along a fly rod. There used to be a closure in some areas for apache trout reproduction but I think it might have changed because I don't see it in the current fishing regulations any more.

Savage makes one and you should be able to pick one up for under $200 brand new.

It's for looks and is kind of a turkey striker thing. People have been making corn cob strikers for a long time but full cob strikers are for soft calling and doesn't have much volume. This is just a insert and doesn't affect the volume of the call.

The second call is a carob pot with a glass calling surface. It has a carob striker to match the call.

That's really really cool Steve. I can see the resemblance between you and your dad. Lee Marvin was in some great western movies. I really like The man who shot Liberty Valance, "All right dude, this time right between the eyes". Did your dad or grandfather ever say if he was as tough and mean elk hunting as he came across in some of his movies?

In that price range I like some of the CZ guns.

Same here, just Saturday for the day. Good luck Shelvin.

You can also access it from Heber by using the 504 road and driving across 4B until you cross chevelon creek into 4A.

Are the top and the bottom calls both cedar and the middle one walnut? Looks like well used calls. RIP Marvin Robbins, lots of good memories.

I like all the turkey fans. In first looking I thought they all looked like Merriam's. Coming from NM I might be right. Are any of them NM Rio's?

There is no non resident cap on leftovers so if you want to hunt together you should put in together on the same application. Also there is not a huge demand for the spring leftovers like there is with the fall deer tags so don't over think it. Tags will be available for several weeks sometimes longer depending on what hunt you are after.

Just Curious Yote with all of the different birds what is you favorite to cook and eat? Of every thing I have tried grilled Crane is hands down the winner and it is not even close. Fried turkey would probably be a distant second.

Hopefully they get the online system working for the leftovers so we don't have to play the guessing game of when do I mail them and what address do I send it to anymore.

Looks like results are posted on the portal. I didn't get drawn for turkey. Maybe next year.

Osceolla's are really fun, one of my favorite turkey hunts I have been on.

You bought it, might as well use it or at least have it available to use if needed. I wouldn't care about an extra 7 pounds. My only worry would be space if you were packing out a deer.

Hope everyone put in for the same units as last year. If so then I should get my first Goulds tag.

They added the youth hunt between then and now. The youth get the second to last Friday in April. If you like the week earlier date hunt NM. Starts April 15th every year. Even with the earlier season in NM I would rather have an Arizona hunt.

I think so, pretty similar to every state I have hunted. I think Merriam's start nesting in May in Arizona just based on my experience. I will have to find the research report and check the dates.

If you are looking at the Gould's hunt dates they start a week later this year because they did a study and found they nest a week later in Arizona than Merriam's. Merriam's adult hunts start the last Friday in April just like always.

Man I would love to go, just a little to short of notice. If you are looking for someone to help I can check with my brother in law, he lives in Rexburg and I think he is off track this semester.

Earlier this month in Montana hunting with a partner saved two archery elk hunters lives. https://www.ktvq.com/news/montana-news/investigation-continues-into-2-grizzly-bear-attacks-in-sw-montana

Looks like the south fork of the Snake to me. A couple summers ago I was floating the Henrys fork on a pontoon and had to slowdown and dodge several moose that were crossing the river. Love spending time in that area.

A few years ago I looked into them and ended up going with the cheaper Champ Chef Stryker and ended up getting the propane version since I was already using a propane lantern and wouldn't need to carry both propane and butane. I really like mine and it heats up water just as fast as others who were using the Jet Boil.
