Long shot, but if anybody sees a Double Bull Matrix 360 for sale, let me know. It’s in excellent shape and was take off red horse tank in 9. POS whoever did it.

I get (somewhat) the abandoned property argument that some make, or the don’t leave it up mindset, etc. it was there overnight then gone. Not for a month, a couple weeks, or even a few days. Funny thing is, my buddy had a blind on a tank a little further away for over a week, on a more heavily traveled road, in plain site. Wasn’t even touched. Oh well, things happen. Karma will be a bitch to whoever took it.

If I decide to ever leave one again, it will have an air tag.

I have a dumb question for the group….I have done plenty of cold hunts over the years, mostly in tents or staying in others trailers. I have a hunt coming up in 9 next week (late archery) and plan to take my trailer. Temps look to be high teens/low twenties every night. There will be a few days I will not be at camp, but my trailer will. No way to run heat while I’m gone. How screwed will I be by putting water in the tank and it sitting a few nights in those temps? What are some options? Fill it with jugs when I’m there and then drain when I leave?

Thanks all. I think I’ll throw some winterizer in it and fill it when I get there. I have a pump that will make it easy to transfer water from jugs to the tank.

I was hesitant to try skirting. Doesn’t seem like it would do much. I might just do my original idea of tranferring water into it while I’m there and can have heaters on.

I can leave the heat on yes, but I’m worried the batteries will drain so it won’t matter.

It’ll be repealed in June 2027? Just in time for them to actually get a program in place. I’m no lawyer, but unless there is an endorsement that goes onto a license, how can they require it, if it is considered a street legal vehicle and only needs a class D license to operate. What about non-residents? Since G&F gets no general fund money, who pays for it? The fees they charge likely won’t cover it. More “one-time” special draw tags? Enforce the laws we already have on the books and this BS wouldn’t be needed.

Place sucks anyways.

If you have GIS capabilities, submit a PRR to G&F for their shapefile data on all the catchments. That's what I did. For non-commercial use, it's free.

Great.......I'm coming through there next week going to Safford with horses and an RV.

Any pics of what they look like on the truck? I have a '22 F250 with the chrome wheels, looking for a set of black on a carbon grey color.

Still available?

As mentioned, the dates are in the guidelines on the G&F website.

As mentioned, antelope are in every part of the unit. I've seen some big ones in there over the years. The biggest have always been in the pines. There are general areas in the pines they hang out in, and it can take a couple days between sightings of them.

Is nobody paying attention to the record number of applications we’re continuously seeing? Going to raffle gives the tens of thousands of unsuccessful applicants another chance. There is money to be made from the raffles and they know it.

Interested as well. The other one posted hasn't responded.

Interested. I'm in northern AZ though.......

Too many people worry about the “guarantee.” 80% of tags go random. You could draw it next year just the same as in 5 years.

Exo are great packs.

Have a trip coming up for a 3 day charter out of San Diego. Is it worth finding used equipment for sale, or renting from the location? Any suggestions? Thanks,

What the heck did everybody do before cameras were even a thing? Jesus. I take every chance I can to get out in the woods, places I've never been, etc., and I've never bothered to own a camera. Either you want to be in the woods or you don't, but it's not the camera bans fault that a drinker broke, and nobody fixed it until now.

100% agree and was thinking the same. Just a way to blame the camera ban for something that has likely been happening for years, before the OP started going only 4 years ago........
