I know these clowns aren't hunters but I've seen so much of the same damage where only hunters would go.
There wasn't enough enforcement in the past but now with all the funding cuts it's going to get even worse. :mad:
A fire burning in unit 1 in AZ near Springerville/Eagar. My brother is in "set" mode with trailer hooked up and ready to go if necessary. Currently about 10 miles from his house.
To go along with the thread about which you wouldn't hunt I thought perhaps a bucket list thread would be appropriate. Two animals tops.
For me it's mountain goat, now that I got my bighorn.
Cappy’s Backyard Ultra

Rocky Road Adventures is so excited to bring you all a Backyard Ultra right here in rural Nevada.
CAPPY’S BACKYARD ULTRA
YOU’LL WANT JOIN US HERE IN LINCOLN COUNTY NEVADA FOR THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE OF THE BODY AND BATTLE OF THE MIND!

Got my bighorn Euro mount back from the taxidermist. I found a dead mesquite big enough to cut a slice from and after lots of sanding to get the saw marks out I covered it with clear epoxy. It's about 2" thick.
I think it turned out pretty nice. (y)
Finally time to put some new treads on the truck. Had to do it a little sooner than expected because I put the base of a missing highway sign through the sidewall.
I would have needed new tires before this hunting season anyway.
The Coopers had 52k on them but I think they would have gone a few...
In a monumental effort to support herd health and diversity, NDOW introduced 16 mountain goats to the East Humboldt Range in November 2024. Witness the incredible journey and the teamwork behind this conservation success. (Photo credit: Miranda Crawford)
Maybe I'll be able to draw a goat tag...
I was finally able to notch my desert bighorn tag last week. As some of you may know I was awarded this tag last year after already having drawn a late season rifle muley tag and a bull elk tag. :p
I only got the tag because someone returned the tag in August and I was the first alternate, I was...
Hopefully someone will recognize these idiots :mad:

I know I'm getting ahead of myself but I have a question for those few of you who have taken a desert sheep. Is the meat good to eat? Does it taste like mutton?
I do like lamb chops but those come from fairly young lambs.
Day 1 looking over some good looking elk country. Only spotted a cow and calf.
Day 2 ankle is quite broken. 🤬 Spent 7 hours at the ER in Ely.
It's going to require surgery. Needless to say elk hunt is over on morning of day 2.
For anyone interested I returned my NV mule deer buck tag today. It is for area 101-109 and season runs from Oct.31-Nov. 8. This will leave us more time to fully concentrate on my bull elk and then my desert bighorn. (y)
I don't know if it will come up on FCFS or if it will be offered to an...
As some of you may know I was awarded a much coveted desert bighorn sheep tag someone turned back in.
My hunt unit is about 20 minutes from my house and I plan to get an idea of the few roads there are, it's not a very big unit.
Hunt actually starts on the last day of my bull elk hunt, Nov...
Just found out Tina Turner died today. She was one heck of a performer. :(
My wife and I saw her at the MGM a while ago and she put on a fantastic show.
Just wanted to share a pic of my son who ran a 50k ultra marathon just outside of Zion last weekend, his first.
Some of the guys from last years Hot Shot crew ran the half marathon and finished in a few hours but they all waited for my son to finish his 8.5 hour run. (y)
He wasn't really feeling...
We went in the Scheel's in Reno yesterday and I saw that they has a pretty decent supply of 30-06, 7mm Rem Mag, 308 and several others that I didn't go down the aisle to check out. They also had a lot of .22 in several brands.
If you're in the area you may want to check them out.
With all these threads about the near impossibility of drawing a sheep tag I'm wondering how many of you guys would hunt for a broken horn ram?
When going through the NV hunts for this year I saw there is a new resident only hunt for rams where one horn must be less than half the length of the...
