Volunteers needed for waterhole project

Travis, please post this on the forum:



I'm in need of volunteer labor to assist with repairs to wildlife water catchment number 442 located in GMU 44A south of the Harcuvar Mountains. Initial work has already been conducted with the assistance from local sportsmen to identify a failure in the feedline supplying the catchment with runoff water. We will be replacing the feedline, resurfacing the concrete apron and making improvements to the drinker to prevent dead bees from fouling the water. As many of you may know, the Department has recommended a reduction in deer permits for GMU?s 42, 43 & 44 for the 2012 season. Assisting with constructing or repairing habitat improvement project such as this is one way concerned sportsman can be actively involved to improve resources and protect wildlife populations for the future. Volunteer labor, equipment and expertise are so important to the volume of projects that can be completed each year. If it wasn?t for the support of sportsman there are projects on the ground that would otherwise still be on someone?s To-do list.



Date and Time:

April 28 & 29 2012

We should have very little to do on the 29th. Camping out or staying the night is not required, but dinner will be supplied by Scott Brothers.

Plan on being at work site by 9 AM



Directions to work site: (See attached map)

Exit US 60 at mile post 71 on gravel dirt road north from highway. Mile post 71 is approximately half way between Aguila and Wenden.

Follow road(s) north to large power lines and cattle tank; Miller Reservoir.

Once at power lines head west through gate.

After gate head approximately 200-300 yards and turn north on two track road toward Happy Camp Well.

At Happy Camp Well go around north side and take two track road north to catchment.

High clearance two wheel drive vehicles required and they will get a little decorative pin stripping on the way, but it's not too bad.



Equipment to bring:

Gloves

Lunch

Digging tools

Water

A friend with a strong back

I think we have about 15-20 lined up but we could use some more.

LAST EDITED ON Apr-15-12 AT 09:14PM (MST)[p]Well shoot, I guess I will get my apathetic arse out there and help you guys.

Donnie, I bet of that 15-20 guys maybe a handful will show up. That is how it is.
 
I will be there with a big pot of chili Friday evening. I may even do a dutch oven cobbler Saturday evening. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone.

Boys I'll be on a Gould's turkey hunt that starts the 27th, or else I could have made it...

Good luck Don...I'm going to head to the project Friday night with my backhoe. I'm really looking forward to seeing some old friends & meeting new people.

Saturday night we plan on having a bon fire and bbqueing hamburgers and hot dogs.We might even engage in telling hunting and fishing lies. This project will also be a great opportunity to meet the dept guys.

If you have any questions regarding this project feel free to call me.602-980-1298

I'll be there late Friday afternoon with a big pot of homemade chitli. There's nothing better than burgers, dogs and a bowl or two of hot chili.
It would be nice to have a head count so that we can be prepared for the crowd.
George
 
Listen if there is chili involved you guys are lucky I'm NOT going to be there! Wouldn't be fit for man nor beast!

You've been warned:)

We have a so so head count over on The Arizona Hunter. Looks like around 15 not including department guys.
