BTW, love the flat fenders. Mine is a “62” Built to hunt that Unit. Bummed me out when they turned all those thousands of acres to Wilderness.

Riding in one of the jeeps was one of my favorite parts about hunting there, that and the free “air shows” every now and again.

Is that tent big enought for that gun of yours?

I was picturing something more like this:

That's hunting,or desert racing?
Not my cup of tea...Leave the road hunters far-far away!

Hunting. Definitely a different style than what I grew up doing but, I had fun nonetheless!

You are in AZ right? Not road hunting, there are no roads. Glassing and tracking in and above desert washes. It is “Desert” with extreme temperature changes. Tough hiking more than a mile or two at a time in sand and gravel in the heat. Most deer are like ghosts out there (at least the ones you want to shoot) Sonora Strain in the genes. Access is by boat or 4X4 minimum.

As odd as it sounds, that looks like a cozy camp. I'd love to be there instead of work...

Where we were laying was quite comfortable. If it wasn’t for wind and trying to keep track of how close the lightning was getting it would have been a restful night.

Maybe better than sleeping on cactus...Maybe.

The washes all eventually run to the river but can be many miles from any road or two track. If you choose to walk miles of flat ground between them, good for you, just curious how you get to the starting point. I’m used to driving to trailheads. Most of my AZ hunting was around AG so yep, no experience but I know way more deer on the AZ side. If 2 miles up a wash (4 miles round trip) is road hunting then I’m good with you calling it that. After all I’m kind of old. Best to you in the New Year...

Didn't know you were a Hillary supporter. You can probably take the sticker off now though!
