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.
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.
