I'm surprised they didn't close it earlier. They got hammered by the snow last year.


I love to trap!

Unit 18b. We busted our humps for five days and only found a couple of does. My dad killed a buck each of the last two years in the area but they were somewhere else this year. Still we had a great time and I really enjoyed the time I got to spend with dad. Saw a bunch of Javelina!

Dad checking out our hunting area...




Got any Dam bait?

I suffered in Payson for a couple of years, and due to the pathetic draw odds, I put in for the area down by the New Mexico boot heel region for Coues. Got drawn 2-for2. Killed 2-2, as well, and saw lots of mulies. This was back in 2000, and 01.
Bird hunting there is unbelievable.

Ken, that's Hoover Dam and the new bypass bridge they just built (Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge)

AV, There were quail everywhere in our deer area but we didn't hunt them for fear of messing the place up. Turns out we should have been quail hunting...lol! Next time I hunt mule deer it will be somewhere that has deer...I hope! laugh

I killed a B&C Coues WT in Hildalgo County, NM (near Rodeo, AZ) in the early 90's. Fantastic country with quail hunting (5 species) to die for!

My buck came from a canyon where Geronimo alledgedly camped and I was lucky enough to trip over a couple of shards of pottery and an arrowhead that I am fond of thinking may have been in the grand old Apache's quiver! Of course I left them right there because I know there is some obscure federal reg that says you cannot pick them up! wink

I would guess we were within a 1/4 mile from each other! And I also found an arrowhead, made from white quartz. There is a monument along the road describing the Geronimo ordeal. I probably have a picture somewhere.
Those scaled quail sure are fun. And when I was there the doves literally numbered in the tens of thousands.

Well, my season has officially started. Most of the dozen or so snares I put out Sunday got buried in a blizzard, two were taken out by bears, two were knocked down by bunnies, and I fell in the creek again. Picked up a nice red though so it wasn't a total loss...lol!

LB,
That was a slimlock on 1/16 1x19. They are usually DOA but this one didn't wrap up. Probably a good thing because there were bear tracks all around it. You can have every last flake of this snow...lol!

Still quite a few out and about? I also like those locks.. Can't wait to try some experimenting with snares while I'm down there for Christmas! Send the snow this way! Can't really trap up here with snowmachines.. Everybody and there uncle is on the road system.

Looks like every bear on the R/S is still out and about. Still roaming around town too. Not sure how many have been taken this year but before I left for AZ three booners had been shot on the R/S. Snowing it's butt off right now. eek
