Friends and I drew 16B first archery season and are heading down that way a week from today for a few days of hiking/scouting prior to season. We will be backpacking in on foot, DIY hunt for the entire 10 days. I have been speaking to a few locals bi-weekly since we found out we drew this tag. Sounds as if things are extremely dry down there this year.
A few questions for those in the know: Is this year abnormally dry? I have heard that this is the normal monsoon season and with the exception of a very few small isolated showers, the monsoons have not hit yet. From years past, is there a good chance the rains will come in Sept.? I also have heard from locals and have seen a few others scouting posts that say the same thing, that most or all tanks are dry and the only available water is in the main forks of the Gila River and a few tribs. off the main forks. Can anyone tell me how much rain does it take for the tanks to fill up or at least hold water for a few days? I greatly appreciate any info.
Please PM @ [email protected] or feel free to call me at 308-383-6554. Thank you much.
