Got my usual archery stink pig tag and same for my son's youth sting pig tag. The big one, though, was my daughter getting drawn again. She's a sophomore at UofA and admitted to me this summer she misses hunting and hunting with me. After taking a couple of years away to pursue other passions in life, she wanted to put in for javelina again. She made it clear it had to be close to UofA/Tucson given the time she'll have available. No problem. She got a 34B general javelina tag and I can't wait to hunt with her again!

Finally looked, 22 rifle stink pig Unit 1 turkey bird 2024 maybe the year I drain my million bonus points....

Arrowhead smokeless.45cal muzzleloader. $2500 (no scope.) Comes with everything you need for it- primer modules, hand sizer, breech plug tools etc. I'll even make a range trip out with the buyer to shoot and go over all the nuances. Easier to talk on the phone for interested buyers, happy to pass on my buddy's number.

First time poster, long time lurker looking for some advice. I've hunted this unit 11/05/21 - 11/11/21 and 11/25/22 - 12/04/22 and have yet to glass up a single buck. I got drawn for the early December hunt this year and am hoping my bad luck will finally turn. I counted almost 30 does over the 9 day hunt in '22 (I even glassed one up bedded almost 1300 yards from the top of the mountain I was on.) so I know it's not an issue of being able to spot them. I use OnX for E Scouting and have put some extensive time into getting out there and ground pounding but still with no avail. I've hit up "Whitetail Pointe" and other areas, but have thought about hiking into the wilderness for a few days this trip. My Hunt areas are primarily West (San Carlos Res Land) and East of 23S (so mostly the NorthEast part of the unit). I'm wondering should I Focus more on the South/SouthWest part of the unit? Keep going in the general area I've been going and venture into the Wilderness Area? I'll probably get rolled for this, but I'm a MidWest transplant for work and have been a resident for around 5.5 years now. I didn't grow up hunting, but wanted to get into the sport as I got older. College and Military obligations got in the way for the majority of my 20s, but was able to pick it up in the latter half. My hunting career started with my coworker asking "Did you put in for Deer yet?". So of course, I chose the hard route first and went for Coues 🙃🤣 I was fortunate to finally harvest my first animal with a Cow Elk tag this past fall, so now I need to finally get my first Coues. I will most likely be doing this hunt solo this year. Any and all Tips/Tricks/Advice/Constructive Criticism/Etc. is welcome. Thanks In Advance.

They had built a Dugout cabin along a hill side near where they were working. One night after a long day of working on their claim, the men cleaned up, dinner then went to bed and never knowing that they were being watched. During the middle of the night one of the men woke up to the sound of their dog crying. As the miner peered out of the only window, he seen their dog had been shot with an arrow and was crying as he was limping toward the cabin. At this exact moment, the Apache warriors then began to roll two very large boulders down the hill to crush or burry the miners alive inside their cabin. Two of the miners actually help a bed frame over their heads to keep the roof from caving in on them. With the cabin damaged from the boulders, but still standing. The Apache began to move in to finish off the miners inside the cabin. With two of the miners occupied with holding the ceiling up and trying to repair their now crumbling cabin, Boggs and one other miner loaded their muskets as well as those of the other two miners and waited for the Apache to come. The men had to dig hasty gun port holes into the walls of the cabin to defend themselves properly, as there was only one small singe window. When the Apache first charged, two of them were killed instantly and the rest fell back and began taking shots at the cabin. Two Apache's tried to set the front of the cabin on fire, but both were badly wounded and carried off by their fellow warriors up the hill side then for an hour after there was noting but silence. All of a sudden the hills lit up with a bright burning flicker and to the miners amazement, the Apache had carried off their dead warriors and now were cremating them in full view of the miners trapped inside the cabin. By morning the fires had burnt out and the Apache had fled. After this the four men raced to the town of Big Bug (Population of just 100) and told the residence and other miners of their story and to raise the alarm. This was just one of many skirmishes/battles that took place within the Bradshaw Mountains during the Apache Wars. In numerous books, articles & material I often come across that the period of 1853-1873 was the most deadly period for American miners, settlers in the Arizona Territory. Big Bug has always been a great location that yields amazing gold. During the 1860's-1880's an estimated 15,000-18,000 ounces of gold was yielded from the placer claims. During the 1930's-1940's a recorded 50,000 ounces of gold was yielded from dredging. The lone miners during this time were making an easy $300 a week from the gold they were recovering form the creek & hillsides. Very little exists today of the old mining down of Big Bug Today Roadrunner's Prospecting Club & the GPAA have good mining claims along Big Bug Creek. To this day, active mining claims along Big Bug Creek still produce impressive amounts of gold. I have worked some of these placer claims on and off since the mid 1990's and I still find nice size pickers in my pan. Theirs Still Gold In Them There Hills!

If you happen to be traveling along the I-17 this week on your way to Prescott, Flagstaff or Phoenix, maybe stop by and check out this priceless piece of the Wild West & Arizona's past. I hope everyone has a fun & adventurous week! Stay Safe, Stay Alive, Keep Treasure Hunting!!

If I shot a 50 inch buck with a 10,000 dollar clickety click rifle I would hide too. Just kidding congrats on your kill.
