AZ hunting

I struck out this year after drawing a late season Coues rifle tag last year that ate up all my points. My dad got drawn for Fall Turkey (6a), December Bull Elk (6a), and early Dec Coues (34a) so it looks like I will be wingman for a bit. He is getting up there in the years so I'm glad he drew those while he can still kinda get out there.

I'm more ready than ever for OTC deer opening day later this month. Been practicing out to 100yds all off-season and my bow/arrow combo is dialed. Now if only the temps would drop a little. I might need to head north and chase muleys.

 

Has anybody had luck hunting 24B?

 

Anyone have any experience hunting in 16A (basically Kingman)?

 

Anyone been in 5A along 87 around east/west sunset to Chavez lately? was out today and outside of a few does and some pronghorn it was nada except for coyotes. Wife has a cow elk hunt coming up and usually thats where we go to cut Christmas trees, typically see elk but nothing fresh today

 

One week till dove season!

 

Was out glassing this a.m. Saw this guy:


I hate that guy!

 

And saw this guy...must have broken his right antler (or some other injury) because it had all kinds of palmation on it. Couldn't get a better pic...

 

And 2 little guys...

 

My 8 year deer drought is finally over. Punched my tag yesterday on my first ever couse deer. Not a bad forkie either.

 

Congrats!

 

Happiness is...

 

Went up to unit 1 for the deer opener saw a ton of bucks but all were spikes or forkeys. Elk were plentiful, saw some turkey and grouse too. my coworker got his 1st deer and I found my first deadhead elk. Fishing wasn’t good at big lake lots of algae but the weather was nice.

 

What a find!!

 

I’m going down to 36a to scout late sept early oct, my pops and I got drawn down there for couse in November

 

I missed two bombers there in the last three years. Both OTC archery. Missed a great mule deer there and a white tail this year opening day. I’ve got that whitetail patterned pretty good and hoping he makes it to the late archery hunt if I don’t fill my rifle tag on Ft Huachuca in November.

 

Well I got my nephew on his 1st big game animal Saturday morning. The bulls are still rutting in unit 1

 

Congrats!

 

Awesome! Congrats

 

Nice work! Congrats!

 

Congrats to the young hunter!

Kids and I got cards hit for spring javelina. Heading up to Flag in a few minutes for a cow elk.

Taco needs some blood on it!
