Yea... I was actually surprised at that too... there is plenty of time for that to drop into the 100s

Maybe the fact that ASU basketball is ranked #56 currently in the power rankings... http://www.teamrankings.com/ncaa-basketball/ranking/overall-power-ranking-by-team

I believe the grizzly was brought in from a zoo for that video... As obviously there are no grizzles in AZ

If she has a cabin up there maybe you should be asking her where the elk are...

That's what happens when you mix drugs and hunting....

I hear that that video was filmed in Happy Valley on the backside of the Rincons... No one will comment on what happened to the grizley bear after the filming of the video. Maybe, wink, wink, it roamed the Rincons for awhile... That was definitely a mesquite tree he climbed up in...

So I was out hiking and found this dead bear. At first I thought maybe it had died from a fight with another bear... But this is the second dead bear I have found in this area. The first bear I found dead was a few months ago, a little under a mile away from this one. Same thing as this one, no visible wound or gunshot hole. Both bears were found close to different springs. So I started thinking... I have been hunting for over 20 years and never found a dead bear and now 2 of them in a few months close to each other. Maybe they were killed by another big boar, or maybe they drank some tainted water from a mine shaft nearby, or maybe someone is poisoning them? I would guess both bears were in the 3 to 4 year old range around 200 pounds. I also believe I have this same bear on trail camera a couple of months ago about 3 miles away and he looked healthy. Anyone else ever find anything like this? Or have any ideas?

Ok, just heard back from Game and Fish. The second dead bear had almost no teeth left, and had almost no fat on it. He believes it died of old age. But to be safe, he took tissue and hair samples. He also took some water samples from the spring nearby. So as most of you know, I usually don't have the best things to say about G&F, but the G&F officer, Matt Braun went out of his way to look into these dead bears, and get back with me. Hats off to him!

I start this rumor every year... Funny that it has made its way around so quickly this year...

Not so much that PRDTR... It's not really even about getting to a spot first for many of us. We all know there is a ton of public land to set up on. It's just that your big stupid redneck trailer and all your quads and trash sitting in the woods for several weeks on end off the main roads is super annoying. In some units it is literally one large abandoned camp after another for miles and miles on forest roads for several weeks before season and on into and after the hunts. If it is so easy to find a camp site as you say.... then why do you have to set up a month in advance? Well said Critter! I not going to STFU! I will be the one calling the forest service and demanding that they enforce this rule when I see other hunters breaking the rule?..

It says in the FS regulations that if you are going to do this, to call ahead of time and leave a vehicle description and contact information and they will issue you a permit.

This is great news! About time the Forest Service listens to the hunters who complained about the trailers being parked for weeks in advance of a hunt. I guess the G&F commission supports parking a trailer in a camping spot for weeks in advance to reserve a camp spot... Sad!

Turkeys everywhere in 35b....

10 years ago there were 1500+ aliens a day crossing thru the Altar Valley, so no it is not like 10 years ago.

The north end of the unit is more active than the south end right now.

You can buy the wireless IR flashes on line

No

Already reported...

Congrats, it can only get better from here...

Game and fish came and looked at the first one, but couldn't determine cause of death. He did say that is was a 3 year old boar. My other question is there is a ton of fresh bear sign all around, why are they not feeding on these carcasses? I know they do that, because they ate half of my bear I killed in there 2 years ago.

Lots of bears in the area... Maybe 20+ bears on camera. No visible wounds, but I didn't get real close because it stunk so bad.

I need another choice to vote for... How about vote for: 1) WTH? 2) somebody's been drinking 3) stupid riddle 4) all of the above I vote #4

Temporal canyon is a pretty nice road... 2 wheel drive is fine. Was just in there during the past hunt and no one was camped north of Anaconda springs, and no one was camped in Piper gulch either, both great areas...
