![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/kGfVMxY2/20220817-112322.jpg) This tree is awesome ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/m2QfL0fF/20220817-112432.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/SxM4MJMj/20220817-101344.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/63McjPw1/20220817-101329.jpg) I've camped under this tree before and it's always something, herds of sheep driven through at midnight and a mule using the corner of the trailer for a rubbing post. It has also become kind of a shooting range for locals I guess. Funny thing is most the holes in the tree are beetles. Two weeks of antelope and deer hunting starting tomorrow. This morning made coffee, found one medium buck antelope in my #1 spot all by itself, no does. They dropped the tags to just 10 archery in this unit, numbers must be way down. Monsoon has been heavy this year, grass is high, tanks full, sitting water may not work. More scouting to do. I found a high spot to post from. Adios...

Looks pretty homey on the inside of your trailer. I like it.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

Good luck there Kent.
That's a lot of grass, no cattle out there yet? Seems like whoever holds the allotment would have them getting fat on that stuff.
And yeah, your old trailer set up is cool.

It’s nice to see some green in the middle of this drought.
Good luck with your hunts.

Quick answers... mule deer can be in this area, not a lot but some, antelope of course is the primary target. I have lope, deer, turkey, lion tags on me. Turkey I'd have to go 20 miles to higher country to possibly find. The trailer is the one I gutted and redid, calling it the wood trailer. It's cluttered this trip being up to two weeks and then move to elk camp. So much water there's a lake where the road went through, I wondered why no fresh vehicle tracks. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/t48tTh02/20220818-090103.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/9MnkFDp2/20220818-110855.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/05HvbQQb/20220818-110824.jpg) Cool little trailer. Good luck!

Don’t see many trailers with wood like that inside - pretty cool.

Is that a trap and drag on the shelf? I'm partial to steel.
