I also worked for the federal government in my twenties on the North Rim. I met my wife there and are hoping to draw a late tag.
I will reach out to you if I draw.
Good luck to you.
I see where it has a pocket/sleeve for a 85mm spotting scope.
Does it have a pocket or sleeve for a tripod?
Are there outlets or retailers where one can examine the pack?
I'd like to talk with you.
I have hunted the Kaibab for deer and Bison since 1988.
I also worked on the North Rim and met my wife there.
Please send a pm if interested.
Congrats.
My hunting partner drew the MZ hunt in #27!
I've hunted it twice in the last 30 years, but not since the fire.
Would you be interested in a discussion regarding the unit?
I have mainly logistic questions;
Is there cell phone coverage any where in the unit?
Where is the closest potable water?
Recommended maps?
Routing from Tucson. I assume up to Vegas on 93 and then north on I-15. Turning off where?
May scout in October.
Good luck.
