Quoted:
I think that you and I are new best friends. Lol. Sounds like we are both survivors if the lights go out and the supermarket shelves are stripped bear. I've got my eye on my neighbor's chihuahua if that should happen (along with a can of refried beans and New Mexico green chilis of course). Although I never made into the Army's Special Forces as planned in my gung-ho younger years, I have trained with some of those soldiers in the past including some survival training. You'll learn to eat some weird stuff with the "snake-eaters" as well as counter the resulting gastric problems that sometimes arises from eating "creepy-crawlies." Speaking of the latter, some dried Chinese hot peppers and I assume Habernero peppers too will work wonders on keeping the protozoans and other microscopic bugs in line. |

Learned that pepper thing in a desert survival course - isn't surviving with only a knife fun? 
The desert is full of good food if you just look. Even water can be had where there's no water around! Back to hunting, though - of all the big-game hunters here, who here leaves all those tasty organs behind to rot and go to waste? |

Well, my brother shot a small Coues deer today. I saw a few more bucks today, but I'm being pretty picky, lookin for at least a 105 incher........
My brother lives in Garfield County, CO––home of GIANT Mule deer, and he still pays a pretty good chunk of change to come here and hunt the tiny AZ Coues deer every chance he gets. 2 years in a row he tagged out on November 10, last year my niece was born on this day, and this year he got another one on her birthday....guess she's his little good luck charm 
3 more days to find a big one...... |

Call up AZ GFD and try to talk to someone who has statistics for your hunt group. I hunted north west of Phoenix from the White Tanks west and north and I saw no living thing for my tag dates. Absolutely nothing. I talked to a local while gassing up and stats were less than 0.8 deer per square mile. It was also kinda hot last year. Signs we saw were not fresh.....
I am hunting Reddington this year and I hope it will be more positive. My main worry is my camp will get gear stolen......... 
Scouting up there on sunday. Unit 33.
