AZ hunting

Is anyone planning on doing any hunting this year?

 

shootin at chipmunks in my backyard with a pellet gun

 

Well.. I'm putting in for elk here in the next few days

 

Drawn for May Turkey... just put in for archery elk and rifle pronghorn, will put in for deer. And of course dove, quail and squirrel when the time comes. My big goal for the year is to get the boat out a lot and do some fishing though.

 

I'm planning on going quail hunting here pretty soon

 

Running outa time on quail. I like hunting birds but quail is a lot of footwork if u don't have a dog but hey ur young and can handle it.

 

I may try dove then.. I haven't been in a long time

 

Put in for elk and will put in for mule deer and, of course, hunt a lot of coyotes. Lost out on spring turkey....

 

Where do you guys go coyote hunting?

 

You want me to give you my hotspots????? Unit10 south and west of Williams.....Unit 7W northern part.....Please don't educate them....LOL

 

I think most of the state is a hotspot for coyote. Stay upwind, call, be patient... you'll probably get one.

 

Ahh now I don't need hotspots just areas haha. So far I've only been dove and elk hunting.

 

Put in for elk and never drawn for 8 years in a row. Last year I gave up and didn't put in. Don't think I will this year either

 

But you should put in. Im convinced that you will get it this year.. You get preference points even when you don't draw.

 

doing spring turkey and hopefully an elk hunt if I can work it right

 

a person with 1 point has the same chance as someone with 8 points, its messed up how they set up the draw rules.. but after 8 years he's due

 

How exactly do the preference points work in az?

 

I'll be duck and quail hunting for sure.

 

Where do you duck hunt

 

Meh....I'm over it now.

Right!?! I kept thinking year after year that I'd finally get drawn, never happened. It's not like I put in for all bull hunts, I'd only put in for 1 bull hunt and the rest cow and in area's that had large amounts of tags or some years I'd chose all cow hunts knowing it would give me greater odds.

On the other hand...my brother who is an Az game and fish officer, he gets drawn for every single hunt he has ever put in for in Arizona. Tell me the system isn't flawed or set up somehow
