Didn't get drawn for elk this year been putting in for those early trophy hunts & building bonus points. Still have half a freezer full of elk from the last two years. Put in for bonus point only for deer & antelope this year pretty busy already scouting for my wife's upcoming AZ antelope hunt. My son drew a late AZ bull elk hunt and he put in for coues deer in the same unit , will know in a month or so if he draws a coues tag. Kind of hope so they are much better eating than our Mule deer. Could put in for left over coues deer tags down south on the border, but to be honest our plate is pretty full this year and following year due to things we want to do other than hunting like taking the boat to lake powell a few times, maybe once later this year and several times next year with friends and their boats, basically camping on the lake, drinking lots of refreshments, probably ice tea for me, and catching striper and whatever else. Will be on long range fishing boat out of San Diego late next year fishing lower in Baja. Need to upgrade in at least one new 2 speed 50 class reel 130 to 150 lb spectra line with camo fluorocarbon topshots, don't laugh it works. The plan will be targeting cow sized (200 lb + ) yellowfin tuna fishing the rail. Love the Avet Raptor HX2 speed for wahoo and smaller schooling size yellowfin & Bluefin tuna a little too big a reel for California yellow tail imo been looking at the new Okuma Metaloid 12II 2 speed or Penn Fathom narrow 40 lever drag 2 speed. Most likely try for some Grouper bottom fishing. Don't know if ma ma is going to let me buy either of those she's giving me the evil eye when it comes to un needed higher end reels.
