Big Tub

If it makes you feel any better, I put in for 38+ yrs for my tag and the other guy in my unit put in for 51+ yrs but he did get the #1 big one in AZ last year. Needless to say that we both held max bonus points and got the tags on the 20% hold back. Unit 28 will be tough to draw in the future.

I put in for over 38 years and had max bonus points for the 2018 sheep draw and got tag #2 in Unit 28 (south). My son-in-law, Dan Ott, and 26+ year hunting partner, Ed Soyring, accompanied me and the guides, Tyson Hatch and Matt Holcomb of Double H Outfitters. We decided to wait till Monday, Dec 3rd to start hunting to avoid some foul weather and any conflicts with the other hunter in the unit who had been waiting for 51 years for tag #1. Congrats to Craig (and Matt) on his terrific sheep, which scored 189". We saw lots of sheep on the first day and tried a stalk but two big rams got into it and ran off before we were in position. The second day was more discouraging with fewer sheep sighted and the big one from the day before just walking off out of the area. Third day was the charm. High winds kept a herd of 7 rams and 1 ewe pinned down below some cliffs. Three different stalks finally culminated in a 176 yard shot on a very nice ram. Pack-out was easy. He green scored by G&F at 172-1/8” and 6 -7 years old. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ; and, also, to Chris, Matt, Tyson, Ed and Dan.

Craig's story and pics are in jun/jul issue of Epic Outdoors.

Maybe you could sell them to "THE THING" down by Willcox so that will actually have some rattlesnake eggs instead of those that they sell in their tourist trap store.

Beautiful Dog!

Yeah! We got a female Britt. WOW can she whine. Crate training sucks.

Gorgeous dogs. You gonna take one?

A boat is a whole in the ground into which you throw money. As long as you realize that up front, you will do OK. We had a 16' aluminum 1963 Texas Maid with with a 85 hp Johnson. We used in for fishing and taking the kids to the lake. When they got into middle school and beyond, they were too busy and committed to go so the boating went away. Realize it is for a season and cherish the time you have with your kids. Do not get a bass boat! You will constantly be getting in trouble with that. I would suggest get an aluminum deep v with a 4 stroke motor to minimize maintenance and don't go into debt to do this. Lots of incomplete projects out there if you are handy. How's that for a bunch of random wisdom?

And that attitude and no pics is why this is not moving ... but here's a free bump.

Time for a new pup for you? We pick ours up on Friday.

It literally is empty now ... and of course now I wonder???

location?

"Some assembly required."

As well as Art and LeRoy. How sad. Maybe Ken can take us out? I hear he is good but then again it is from him that I hear it.

Location?

Does anyone even guide for crappie on Roosevelt???

Wish I had seen this earlier when I was visiting my son near New River. Would have had an excuse to go to Cabelas! This is quite a deal. My son in law loves his.

Amazing as always
