AZ hunting

Awesome, how is it this season? I'm going towards Roosevelt Lake just because it's some what close and maybe get some quail too.

 

Great bucks. Hoping I can find a nice one in November.

 

Thank you! I hope you find a good one too. I love watching coues hit the dirt!

 

What you guys using to shoot?

 

6.5x284.

 

Where in 27 did you hunt? North or south end? Gratz on filling 2 tags... Last year we had 3 of 4 filled up in 27. After that hunt I decided no more than 2 tags per hunt.. I don't think I walked upright for weeks.

 

Where are you guys planning on hunting quackers at?

 

In a couple of weeks I'm going to be blowin out some demo swaro binos. I think I have some 10s and 15s coming, all new models with HD glass. I also may have a demo pair of 15s (non-HDs) available too.

 

Post the details when you get them. I might be interested.

 

would you want 10s or 15s?

 

15's

 

Roosevelt lake. Not sure exactly but hopefully find a spot.

 

I'll be putting my order in next week, got a few scopes coming but if anyone is looking for anything specific, PM me and I'll get you prices.

 

The few times I have hunted quackers on Roosevelt lake we have gotten into them on the east side of the lake. I usually see a large group of geese on the west side a mile or so up the river from the lake feeding in the farm fields. Hopefully that will get you started

 

Awesome, hopefully I get a few. I'll post pics if I do. If not I'll post some nice scenery. Thank you for the info.

 

Depending on when you go, be careful because they used to restrict an area on rosey where you can hunt because of some protected area for honkers.

 

Here is a map of the closed area nOV 15
