j-rod Report post Posted March 2, 2006 Here are some pics from our Rifle hunt this past weekend. Great hunt and lots-o-pigs. We went 4 for 4 in two days and were able to relax on Sunday. Also wanted to give big props to AZ Game and Fish Wildlife Manager Mike Hollister. Heck of a stand up fella. He stopped by camp to check a couple of our javies and really had a lot of useful information. We didnt have trouble finding the pigs but he offered up that info anyway. We talked for quite a while about coues, pigs and elk and chatted about past hunts. We spoke a bit about the changes in hunt structures and how it affects us all. He knows his unit and his game numbers and really is trying to keep things managed on a wildlife basis and NOT on a monetary basis. Its guys like Mike that we really need to keep in the G&F and I for one really appreciate all he does for the hunter! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stanley Report post Posted March 2, 2006 Kudos on the pigs!!!! Were you in 'B' or 'C'? Regarding Hollister, yea he's a good guy alright. You all should head down for the ranch clean-up next weekend. We'll be sharing a camp & telling stories with Mike and some others around the campfire I'm sure... S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
