[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 338977, member: 11717"] I have hunted that country as well and it is neat country. Lots of prickly pear and snakes too. Like Steve, I am fascinated by the geology and have brought back a lot of petrified wood and dinosaur fossils. One other little thing to remember is this is what we call gumbo country. If it gets wet it makes things extremely difficult and down right misserable. You need 4 wheel drive, with all 4 chained up or you dont go anywhere until the roads dry. It also sticks to the bottom of your boots. Everytime you take a step it will add 1/2 inch of gumbo to the bottom of your boot until it grows into a huge mud clot about 6" thick and over twice as wide as your boot which can weigh over 10 lbs., and finally falls off to start the process all over again. So you guys who graon about carrying 10 lb rifles may want to consider this before venturing into the breaks :rolleyes::) It gets real old very quick and a day of hunting like this will really wear on you.:cool: Mark [/QUOTE]
