More Thoughts

Maybe motel hunting would be best.  Will have to see how long a drive it is to our hunting spot.  Motel does give us more flexibility.  We can check out early and don't need to use 4 days towing camper to and from. Also, each us of can be a little on different schedules. I would still trailer the UTV.  That would give us two mountain vehicles, the FJ and the UTV.  Would work well for a 4 man hunt.  

I watched a hunting video by "Born and Raised Outdoors" on you tube.  It was 2 hours long and an Arizona hunt.  I recognized the terrain.  Isaiah can relate to it, big bull at 25 yards but all they could see is rack and legs.  Any way they used a technique which they called drive and bugle.  It is what my neighbor also does.  Drive forest roads and listen for bugles between 4 am and sun up.  Then when they have located elk, they try to stalk them.  They got a monster and I bet Ben and Isaiah will say, heh I have been there.  It might have been that bottom on the way to the Matterhorn.

I am still thinking about the camper for the December bull hunt. My AZ tag came today. Camper would work well for Thanksgiving at the historic Hat Ranch.  Then when the families leave I would use it as my base camp.

Gip, my son-in-law, Ben, will be spotting for me for the Bull hunt on the Matterhorn.  The last two hunts there we have taken two bulls, one is on Ben's wall and one is on my wall.  Ben probably will be spotting only for the first two or three days.  If you are down in AZ first week of December and want to spot you would be welcome for the second half of the season. I  took both of my bulls on the last day of the season. My last bull we hunted three days, then took three days off and then hunted from home on the last day and got my bull.

Anyway, just thinking.
