rossislider Report post Posted April 10, 2016 Only a few more days till my buddy and I head up with our boys to the youth turkey camp in unit 1. The location was just officially announced this past week. Looks like it will be in the same place as last year. Who else is going up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bwp22 Report post Posted April 12, 2016 We'll be up in unit 1 this weekend with the boys again this year. We had a blast the past few years and it is truly my favorite hunt of the year. We usually go south of Big Lake but they are not opening SR 273 and 261 until friday afternoon so not sure where we will go Friday morning yet. Is the youth camp the one on the 117 road?

rossislider Report post Posted April 13, 2016 Email update on the Unit 1 camp I received this morning: Hello Everyone, I am letting you all know that the decision was made to move the Jr. Turkey camp location back to Forest Road (FR) 117 at Sheep Corral. It was decided that the site off FR 116 is too muddy and we will just end up tearing up that site. With the camp location move we are encouraging people to disperse camps down FR 117 C and further North west on FR 117. We want to minimize the amount of traffic at the actual camp site at the Sheep Corral as much as possible to minimize damage. The camp location will be closed to camping for all but those who are there to assist at camp with cooking and logistics. This will ensure that there is enough room for parking for those who are there for the class portion of camp as well as meal times. As of this evening the site at the Sheep Corral is in pretty good shape and should not be too muddy for those who are at camp for the different activities. I have attached a map of the camp site location for your reference. To get to the camp take Highway 260 east out of Pinetop. About three miles past the Sunrise turn off take Forest road 117 north about 1 mile to the camp. I have also attached an itinerary of the classes that we will be offering during the camp. Please let me know if you have any questions. I can be contacted via email or at the below phone number.
