Many of the areas have multiple houses within the 1/4 mile. I would want permission on that 26Bar ranch!

Can I get a cardboard one?

That second one is not going to have much meat!

My son and I were watching the huge cow herd up in Eagar a couple weeks ago and another truck pulled up and asked us "do you have the other tags?" They explained that there were depredation hunts every week after June 1, 5 tags each week. I had noticed all the elk were getting more and more skittish with time and the depredations hunts explained that. All the elk had moved out of the bottom where the road crosses the Milligan Ditch over to the 26-Bar Ranch (Hopi/John Wayne Ranch) where there was obviously no hunting. Those elk really learned fast as to where to hang out. I suspect the success rate on these hunts is really low considering the spooky elk and the difficulty accommodating the 1/4 mile rule. This last weekend, the huge herd but was with the ~200+ cows and calves.

Here, hold my beer!

There are still a few around my feeder but I think most have gone. The feeder would not last a few hours when they were here in force. I still had food left from yesterday this morning. They are pigs of the sky!

no tow hitch and cockeyed pics? somebody pull his man card!

too far for me

I might help with that ... location?

Long ago I got my young kids a super small 20 ga single shot Savage. It was just beyond legal length cut off barrel and with a short stock - perfect for handling by an 8 to 11 yr old. PROBLEM: with full power loads, it kicked like a mule. I got a 20 ga reloader and loaded up a box or two minimum loads and it worked really well for a training gun but the shots could only be 10-15 yards with no choke. Note this gun is only good for about 2 years. Those kids grow but more importantly, they want the 3 shots volley availability!. Awh those were the days.

HARSH, MAN!

The desert sheep in Arizona are in Unit 28. No one knows the area better (both sides of the border) that the guides for Double H Outfitters and specifically Matt Holcomb. https://www.facebook.com/pg/Double-H-Outfitters-Arizona-262297363806994/about/

you gonna show us a pic and pattern for the new rifle????

Nice set up.

You boys seem to imply it is not dangerously cold. t becomes very dangerous in water temperatures between 50 and 60 degrees. You lose the ability to control breathing in this temperature range, according to the National Center for Cold Water Safety. ... In addition, depending on the water temperature, you can lose the ability to use your hands in one minute.May 3, 2018 https://weather.com/science/weather-explainers/news/2018-05-03-dangerous-early-season-cold-water

I get the impression that is a no on personally? I have never heard of anybody hunting snipe (or crows legally).

You've done so much different stuff. One of the regs is on Snipe. Is that a real thing? (kind of like crow hunting in AZ) Have you ever? Pics? I always thought snipe hunting involved gullible kids, a garbage can lid and a bag!

That is quite a change in the bag limit on trout and then big changes to Nelson.

There is a "Garmin InReach Users" forum on Facebook that is useful if any of you have any questions. Unfortunately, Garmin got hacked and having some issues right now but they say the InReach is not compromised.

This is some of the most dangerous water in AZ due to the cold water temps. Might want to reconsider.

But you almost always take them!

I could not get past the adds ...

It's interesting how uninformed, especially the young adults, can be but that has not changed since I was a youth. I will confess up front my first presidential vote was cast for Jimmy Carter, where he lost his bid as the incumbent president to Reagan. I had no idea what platform he ran on. I feel so ashamed! I was in college at the U of A so was undoubtedly influenced by that. There is so much pressure from the news media and government schools, I wonder how these young adults are not duped. My "kids" are now 30-somethings and way more informed and quite biased in the reverse direction so I feel pretty good about that.

there is a nice hitch for sale in
