Guys welcome to the JSCOT Outdoors podcast today. I've got Jason Bond of Bond

Trophy Outfitters on the line. Jason, how you doing? Doing great, I appreciate it.

Yeah, you know, here we are. We've got a great moisture year. Want to get your

thoughts you live in Flagstaff, Arizona. Give the listeners kind of a break down.

We're going to talk Arizona deer, draw applications and drawing for deer.

But where do we stand right now, Jason? Yeah, so we're sitting real good.

Obviously the last two months soon has been great. And then this winter was just unbelievable.

I think we ranked in the top two in history recorded so far for this winter.

In any time we're in the top 10, it's awesome. But this year just superseded that.

So yeah, I think I think we're sitting great and then we just went to eight days of rain every day.

Almost like I'm on season that rolled in on a Saturday afternoon until about two days ago.

So can't can't hurt with this spring rain either.

I'm expecting it to be a phenomenal year and a great year for guys without tags.

How much is a great winter moisture compared to a great May moisture?

I'm up here in Colorado and those same storms that you guys are getting every afternoon for about a week

was hitting us here in Colorado and May is typically for those listening May is typically a really dry time of year.

How important or do you think the May showers are every bit as much important as having a great winter?

I think it's equally important. I think we got to have a great winter for that seed to grow in the spring.

But you know what we didn't see this year? We'll see a little bit in June, but what we didn't see

usually right about now is when everything's brown, dry, necklace elevation anyway,

like that Phoenix stuff will green up in late March, mid March, all those poppies.

Everything starts popping up in the field.
