AZ8 Report post Posted May 4, 2018 Heading up in the morning. No tag for me, just going up to drink...err, I mean to help locate birds. Friends said it was very quiet this morning. No tags fill yet. I told them to wait for me! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MT_Sourdough Report post Posted May 5, 2018 It seems that the drought might have pushed birds from my area. In fact the last birds I saw, heard, and caught on cam was all on 4:20. I did hear a distant shotgun blast at first light. Perhaps somebody was waiting for the birds under the roost. Had a couple of cow elk come within 15' from me. That was the highlight of my morning. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MT_Sourdough Report post Posted May 5, 2018 Well, I got my riddle answered. Mid Morning, I get to looking through my binos at a old silver back tree laying on the ground about 300 yards out in front of me. "What the funk?" It's a friggin camper trailer. Somebody set up camp right on top of the tank and right where the birds are at. Man, I am so fit to be tied right now. Three out of my last 4 hunts have been screwed because some jack wagon decides to camp right on or within 1/4 mile of a tank. What's game and fish doing trying to make more laws when they can't enforce the ones on the books. I wouldn't plan a hunt in a way if I thought a person would plop right down, illegally, in the middle of my setup. I set this blind up a while back in preparation. On Thursday night I go up there and set up decoys and sundown and make final preparations. I get just a couple hours of sleep between getting home Thursday night and turn around and head back up there to be in my blind before sun comes up. I did the same this morning just to find out that I have been making a fool of myself serenading some happy campers. Man, I can just spit right now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Similar thing happened to my son and I a few years ago in 23. We were going to sit a tank and camped about a 1/4 up the road from it. Well some guy from Mesa in an old beatup truck with a camper shell decided to camp about 75 feet from the tank with his two teenage sons. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MT_Sourdough Report post Posted May 7, 2018 I chilled out and went back up this morning. I went into a higher canyon that was full of birds 2 weeks ago. I did two sets and no responses. I got to looking around and no sign of turkeys anywhere. The tank in the area is dry with a couple 6" dead salamanders baking in the sun. Tough times out there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muledeerarea33? Report post Posted May 7, 2018 Been out since Friday, I have seen 4 hens and a jake. Every animal is searching for water but its not very plentiful right now. All the springs I know are dry. Pray for rain soon. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
