Hoss50 Report post Posted July 16, 2018 Hi Guys, I have not been to the north side of the great ditch since I was a kid. Now I have a hunt up there in October/Nov and I have a couple questions. 1. Do any of the game processors have a trailer up there for storage & processing? Do they do good work? I don't really want to have to drive back to forth to Flagstaff in the middle of the hunt if my buddy or I haven't tagged out at similar times. 2. Trailer/Campgrounds - I will probably have a 22' trailer with me to camp in. It looks like the campgrounds will be closed by then. Where is a good place to look at camping? 3. Does Jacobs Lake or any other nearby areas have diesel fuel? My main form of transpo will be my diesel pickup. 4. What else should I know? I am going to scout, but I would like to get some info before I head up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Green Bullet Report post Posted July 16, 2018 1. Do any of the game processors have a trailer up there for storage & processing? Do they do good work? I don't really want to have to drive back to forth to Flagstaff in the middle of the hunt if my buddy or I haven't tagged out at similar times. Just bring a cooler with ice and quarter it out. It’ll get cool enough you may even be able to hang the meat. No meat trucks up there. 2. Trailer/Campgrounds - I will probably have a 22' trailer with me to camp in. It looks like the campgrounds will be closed by then. Where is a good place to look at camping? You can find spots on all the main roads. 200 and 205 are good. 3. Does Jacobs Lake or any other nearby areas have diesel fuel? My main form of transpo will be my diesel pickup. Yes at Jacob lake. 4. What else should I know? I am going to scout, but I would like to get some info before I head up. Be ready for hot or snowy weather. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted July 16, 2018 I have never seen a processor trailer up there. Plenty of dispersed dry camping spots. The good ones fill up fast. I usually camp off the 205. Jacob's Lake and Demotte Park (halfway to the North Rim) both have diesel, but they are proud of it. Be prepared to pay $.50-1.00 more a gallon than the Valley. Talk to someone who has hunted in in the past and hope they give you some good starting points. I won't give them out on an open forum for all to see.... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Little Creek Calls Report post Posted July 16, 2018 We used Lacorti's in Fredonia a few years back for meat processing and were really happy with his work. My Dad will use him again for his 13A antelope this year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azslim Report post Posted July 18, 2018 a deer qtr'd up will fit in a cooler, use frozen water bottles for ice so meat isn't soaking in water, I always rolled down the hill to Fredonia to fill up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
