The storm occurred during late rifle elk hunt and many hunters were stranded for days. Like already said, many of the hunters from unit 8 all the way across to Heber/overguard had to leave their camps and trailers until the snow melt in the spring to get everything out. It was all over the news. Boy, we sure could use some snow like that again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oz31p Report post Posted October 22, 2020 I was in 6a during the late rifle bull hunt in 2010. Fs came swooping in on Saturday afternoon while we were in camp on snowmobiles. They told us there were there to “rescue us”. It was about 18inches. We laughed in their faces and they left. We killed killed a nice bull the next morning. Then we drove out in 4x4 trucks no problem. One of us was towing a 40 ft toy hauler. I swear sometimes Arizonans treat snow like lava. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lancetkenyon Report post Posted October 22, 2020 Last year, 12AE late, opening morning, 90 minutes into the hunt. 15 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knothead Report post Posted October 23, 2020 I have been on 6 or 7 of those late hunts one way or another since 2001 and only once did we ever get snow and that was the day we were packing up to leave about 5 years ago. Usually it is sunny, cold, dry and very dusty. Wind blows about half the time too. If it rains, the roads down on the winter range get real nasty. Not so much up top and in the mid range. Good luck to everyone that is hunting deer this year, no matter where it is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
