    So the FS is expecting us to be psychics...

    So the FS is expecting us to be psychics...

    There was a good discussion about this at the AZ Elk Society elk clinic. All of the forests are required to have a travel management plan in place and as stated above are in different stages of publishing them. Coconino was reported to have the best motor vehicle map (dated 4/15/2012) with dispersed camping (allowed within 300 feet) marked by dots along the road on the map...either one or both sides of road. Clear as mud. Looking at the map right now, 295E looks to be open to dispersed camping in most sections, but some sections not marked with dots. Based on the explanation given at the clinic, the areas with no dots were still open to camping but 30 foot limit instead of 300 foot. (Note that I'm no expert...this is my understanding) It was recommended to check out the FS website for updated travel management plan for whichever forest you're using. Looking right now for Apache-Sitgreaves because I don't want to be in the same situation on my scouting trip this weekend in 27... http://www.fs.fed.us/recreation/map/state_list.shtml#Arizona Good luck!

    36B: Any experiences or feedback?

    Reminds me of my first spring turkey hunt...driving into NM and see a gobbler strutting in a campground not 50 ft off the highway in AZ. That s the kind of stuff that keeps me coming back though.

    Scouting for a December Hunt

    I'm sure answers will vary. I have the late Nov/early Dec hunt. I don't have time to be out there constantly...work and life get in the way. I'll be out from time to time and hopefully more frequently as it gets closer to the hunt. Good luck to everyone...wish I had that later Dec hunt!

    AZSFW question

    Not sure if this is the right place or not...found this AZSFW discussion while researching tripods. http://forums.coueswhitetail.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=32028&st=0 My question is whether this is the same group as the AZ Sportsmen for Wildlife Conservation who benefit from the wildlife license plate sales...time to renew my truck plates and considering the wildlife plate. Just wondering... Thanks!

    Solid broadheads

    Had not heard of these until my friend Nathan at Hedog Archery told me about them. He posted a review on his blog here http://hedogarchery.com/not-just-another-broadhead Not cheap at about $25 each, but interesting so thought I'd share. http://solid-broadheads.com/

    No Archery In December In 34A??

    Pretty good discussion here http://forums.coueswhitetail.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=32051 By my understanding it's based on the # of archery kills as a percentage of the total.

    what went wrong?

    agree...depends on height or angle of the camera. I had one out and had a bunch of "empty" photos that I thought were due to branches. Then looking very closely I noticed the backs of javelinas at the very bottom of the frame. Surely they weren't moving through that quickly that you missed them...

    binocular question

    I have Vortex Diamondback 10x42 around my neck and Viper 15x50 in the pack. I've been really happy with the Diamondbacks. Good glass for not much $$.
