Still have the stabilizer?

I haven't done it, but I too am considering an OTC CO hunt this year...archery though.

Yeah I'm more worried about the weirdos sitting in cars outside the schools watching kids walk home than I am hunting down south.

I honestly can't remember if I've asked before or not...I searched and didn't find my own post. Will be in 27 south of Alpine this weekend. Looking for a place to dump RV tanks before towing home. Any suggestions? Also a place to refill fresh water tank if necessary. Thanks!

One more bump for my buddy...

Posting for a buddy...PM for his contact info if interested. In Tucson. 2 Springfield M1A/M14 magazines in good condition. $100 OBO.

Half squat worked pretty well...along with a modified whomping willow. RV Park in Alpine just past the auto shop was great...dumped the tanks for $10 and on my way home. Too bad the turkeys didn't cooperate, but that's another story. Thanks!

Excellent article on this hunt in this month's Eastmans' Bowhunting Journal. Congrats on the article too!

I stopped by the Southeast Clay Target Center this weekend to check things out...what an awesome facility. 6 fields...3 trap and 3 combo either trap or skeet. $8 per round of 25 targets. Current hours are 8-12 Sat and Sun. Located across Harrison from the existing range near the fairgrounds. Rangemaster told me they're on a 3-month probation period which ends in January, and will be based on participation and also customer comments. It doesn't make sense to me to build such a nice facility and then close it, but I guess those decisions have to be made sometimes. Let's get out there and enjoy it and show our support while it's still available. Maybe a CWT shoot sometime? Any interest out there?

I drew a late tag and couldn't get out until this week...so I'll be there and hope they're still talking! Either way I'm out there enjoying it and giving it a try...much better than working!

Awesome...have heard them camping up there before, but never tried calling. Based on the number of tags, that gobbler has probably never heard a call or been hunted.

If you're intrigued by backpacking, there are a lot of places in 33 where you could hike in a long way and avoid the crowds...but that's honestly true of any of the southern AZ units. Coati is spot on...lots of hunters in the more popular areas, but the deer are still there too until they get shot at a couple of times, then they disappear. Might consider putting in for the 33 hunts (sounds like you are already) and then if you don't draw 33 you can pick up a leftover for one of the other units.

Awesome...way to get it done! Love having the kids along too.

Awesome! Drove through that beautiful country earlier this week...will hopefully draw a tag one of these years.

Nice new rig. Good shootin...

Nice bird! Congrats to your buddy and nice job getting his first gobbler!

CWT shoot sounds great...especially if you have connections there.

You switching calibers on us or just funding your elk hunt?

Looks awesome! Plus one on the spent shell and photo. Great ideas or keep it simple like you already did.

Awesome...I'll be in 27 for the late tag. Hopefully still some gobbling by then. Congrats to your wife on an awesome first kill!
