Does anyone have a 36A hunt? Look me up if you come out to Scout the area. I'm living on the Marley Ranch and don't have a tag. So maybe I can point you in the right direction. Not a guide and not looking for compensation. just want to be involved.

Out of the hospital now. spending a few days in the White Mountains right now but should be in 36A next week.

Ralph 857 I should be down in 36a soon. I had a little medical issue a few days ago and have not been down there for a week or so. I should be back at my trailer down there next week. I'll shoot you an email when I'm sure when I will be back.

I have been invited to hunt on a ranch in 30a. So I'm looking for advice/info. thanks

I am more of a meat hunter than a trophy hunter. I prefer mule deer.

I have known the rancher for 30 years. I have done some work for him in the past. We just recently talked about hunting. Turns out he never told me about all of the property he has,. He controls a lot of land out there. Heading out there soon.

Well we have had some good rain, but not where we needed it most. It is still pretty green around most of the ranch.

I have seen a few Bucks with good potential both mule deer and coues in 36a already.

ok

Are you still coming out

just saw this. my number is 520 300 0691. I do not always answer. just leave me a message. Yes still out here on the Marley, but I have moved my trailer.

I use a pair of carpet shoes the illegals leave in the desert. Not so much for being quiet but not leaving tracks of where I have been.

The only real issue in 36a is the number of people that come out to target shoot on State Trust land. When you point out that its illegal they get pissed.

Need some info on Solar power. Has anyone set their RV up with solar power?

We got another good rain early this morning.

We finally got a little rain in 36a today. Enough to have several puddles around. We could use a lot more.

Thanks

We got a real good rain this morning and it looks like we will get more today.

Well in 36a we have started getting some rain. This morning we had a real good rain for about an hour.

The last couple of days we have had spotty rain around the ranch. Not enough to fill the tanks but it has been good for plant growth,

We got a little more rain today. We have a few puddles on the road but not much to fill tanks.

It's been raining off and on for a couple of hours so far. Not hard but pretty steady.

Still very dry in 36A.

Well yesterday was the end of this past Fall and Winter season. Here are some stats: I visited with approximately 65 different campsites during the season. We had more but I didn't visit unless it was daylight and there was at least 1 adult man outside. So I missed talking to those who left before dawn and didn't get back to camp before dark. I found 21 campsites that had been abandoned after their hunt that still had hot coals in the firepit. We had locks cut 6 times at the our corrals and one incident where someone cut the chains with a grinder. I filled up 2 of those blue buckets (25 gallons) with beer cans and bottles left in fire pits. I almost filled one 1 full of shot gun shells. It seemed to be duck hunters were the worst offenders. The first day of hunting we had someone set up a blind inside one of our posted corrals! I found unlocked and shut gates were left open 6 times. We had 9 people park on the east side of the locked gate at Botamote Corral in the private property area. We need that area free of vehicles to allow for truck and trailers to be able to back up to the loading shoot. Noah Silva, the Game Worden, provided us with a lot more signs to inform people of the rules. Thanks Noah! I did not see all of the game that was taken but we had a few better than average animals taken. That is all I will say about that, but I will say y'all didn't get several better than average bucks I know about. I sure hope I get drawn later on this year.

Just give me a heads up on when you will be out Lee
