Not a real party until Clive Bixby shows up. Or at least Nick Papagiorgio...

Any updates on Unit 27 road conditions? I’d seen on another thread that 26 road was impassable due to mud...I know the system moving through this weekend will probably dump rain or snow...just trying to plan ahead for youth hunt next weekend.

Yes and AZGFD just hit me for elk and pronghorn too!

I had wondered how long all those toothpicks in the moonscape would last before they started falling...agree on the spots. Even the areas I know that were totally burned still have birds.

No expert here but wind is the one thing I absolutely hate on a turkey hunt. They’re out but they seem harder to find and definitely harder to hear. I don’t know if it’s the wind or not but they also seem less responsive to calling. I wish I could tell you where to find them in the wind or how they behave consistently because it would mean I know...

Yeah I got caught up in the drama and forgot to say Happy Birthday! Awesome way to get out and spend it...

No way man...he clearly relocated for the pics so we wouldn’t know where he really found it!

+100 on all counts. Watching a propane fire ring just isn’t the same...

If you comment on it that bumps it to the top. I just did too...passed one of these up several years ago on a really good deal. Wish I’d bought it.

I only hunted turkeys up there a couple times before the fire but they seem to be in the same areas I’d seen them before and more. They seem to like the burns too... might be up there next weekend for youth hunt if I can find out how the roads are...plus this system coming in this weekend may make things sloppier.

Immediately following the fire I think they were displaced, but the past few years I’ve seen them in the same places as always plus a lot in the burns. I’d say go back to the areas you know and should be fine.

I can refer you to my doc Snippy Coldhands...he does a great job.

I always count on Sundevil to chime in with this stuff...keeps it light. LoL

Isn’t that twice? Wow!

I don’t know about a guide, but a decent guild would never do that.

Seems like any OTC tag would be doable online...print and mail so obviously a little delay. If you buy in person at AZGFD office they print them just like a draw tag anyway...

Wal-Mart and Ace hardware are my best bets near me.

I’ve thought this since I was a kid helping my mom jar all kinds of stuff...LoL even the jars, lids, etc at the store are labeled canning jars and canning supplies..

I never knew this...have sent a bit to Goodwill and have a buddy who constantly seems to be rotating his closet and asks me if I want it or know anyone. He’s a vet too so I’m sure he’d love to donate.

Every thread where Lark got all worked up was great...

We actually used a gasline as a landmark on my uncle’s farm and reference point for various fields and tree stands...doesn’t make for a good background in a pic though since it’s mostly underground. LoL

I have kinfolks in TN...those aren’t the powerlines I know though.

Keep it up...more for their good than yours. I know what you mean it’s tough.

Might actually get to take my daughter turkey hunting since her school event opening weekend got cancelled...hopefully not super crowded youth hunt since all the weekend sports and other activities on hold.

Sorry brother
