Norteno Report post Posted February 22, 2015 I have a trip planned March 19-22 near the Tonto Creek hatchery. Already told the wife me and the guys have a few "hiking" trips planned. What is more productive? Boots on the ground, or glassing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christian2 Report post Posted February 22, 2015 Personally I would say that hiking is your best bet but that is just my preference. It's all up to what you want. Glassing can be good to though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tucson John Report post Posted February 22, 2015 How can we stop these knuckle heads from driving their OHV's off the roads basically anywhere they want? I see it every year in unit 1, and frankly I'm sick of it. I reported a couple of them last year and as far as I know, they, the FS, never even responded. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alpinebullwinkle Report post Posted February 23, 2015 The US Forest Service told me last year they responded to someone's call on this issue but I did not hear the outcome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted February 23, 2015 Glassing or boots on the ground....all depends on the terrain......some of the places we find antler there is no possible way to glass because it is so thick.....other areas glassing can produce but be prepared...are you going to go down there and get that antler that you glassed up.......... I love looking for antler.....but quad tracks do get me riled as well...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted February 23, 2015 image.jpg Here's a "brown on the ground!" Picked up 7 this wkd in ND! I would love to find an eastern whitetail antler and a moose antler......but like they say if you don't play you can't win and I have never been antler hunting where I could find either......bucket list for me!!! I bet in North Dakota those antlers are basically frozen and falling off right next to a corn field no less....that is pretty cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HunterB17 Report post Posted February 24, 2015 I hike 5B, and I don't know why, but I'm always shocked at the number of quad and truck tracks I see offroad. Nothing more frustrating that working your tail off to get out off the road only to find others cheating... I always wonder how many they pick up before I get there. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trphyhntr Report post Posted February 24, 2015 I see outfitters and what not posting pics all the time of sheds strapped down on quads in the woods. I figured it was legal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Report post Posted February 28, 2015 Anytime I get out, quad tracks everywhere they shouldn't be. The guys with the stacks are usually quad guys. If your walking, head for the spots the quads can't get to. Fences are usually the best bet. I know of a guy always bragging about his finds, walking miles...yet I know that I've seen him in March sometimes with his wife.... both on quads, following fences, and roaming.
