No country for old men

Well....just got word that the national forest I was in on this trip has closed down for fire protection, as well as many other national forests around the state. No camping, no fishing, no entry, until sufficient moisture has returned

Severe drought, and tough times for Arizona, and it's wildlife. Need good monsoon rains in a big way.

Crews to haul 3 million gallons of water to Arizona wildlife amid heat, drought

Arizona Game and Fish Department says it anticipates hauling more water than ever before to help animals in need.

Oh man, tough times for sure. Hope you guys get the water your state needs.

It rained just enough at my place last night to get my freshly detailed truck all dirty. Figures!

 

[PARA45]

That has always been a sure way to get some rain, detail my truck and the next day we get rain.

Nice Avatar Uncle Sauce. That is one stud of a kudu.

Luck wasn't with me in the deer draw this year. I didnt draw one of the 375 rifle mule deer tags for this area. Always my Nemesis
This unit has become a draw only for archery deer, instead of the over the counter archery tag it used to be. I did draw one of the 150 archery permits. A bit of a mistake on my part, as this hunt starts August 20, and I'm somewhat unprepared, and work is busy. Might have to do a red eye express hunt, and go up on the weekends if i can't get time off.

Just dropped off my PSE Brute X at the archery shop for a new Piranha string, and tune-up.

It's going to be a close shave trying to make this hunt happen. Hopefully, I will have a part 2 to this story to share.

Congrats on at least drawing Archery. I always liked the OTC archery tags.
I am a fan of the PSE bows (I’ve got the Stinger X).

Thx. I've been shooting PSE since the late 1970's. PSE headquarters is right here in Tucson.
