Only if it was chased with dogs and shot at 100 yards with a 2” group.

Ya, it killed him

As a new hunter you probably don’t have any idea the hornets nest you just stepped into. 1. People spend their entire lives hunting and learning country and finding out the logistics of the when and where and why certain areas are productive. That information is hard earned with sweat, blood, fuel and time. So people aren’t likely to give that information away easily. 2. Unlike other outdoor recreation, an increase in the popularity of hunting has a direct negative impact on those already participating. This is especially true of hunts that have no limit on participation, like otc hunts. Every person that joins the sport is one more I have to compete with for a limited resource. 3. OTC archery deer is a particularly sore subject in this state. The number of otc tags sold has skyrocketed since 2020. Which also overlapped with a game and fish sponsored media campaign where they paid influencers to come to AZ and film hunts and talk about them on their podcasts. That increase in tag sales, and subsequent harvests has lead to a decline in opportunity with several units being moved from otc to a draw and the implementation of mandatory harvest reporting and harvest limits. Simply put, hunting opportunity is declining and interest is increasing. OTC archery is at the center of this debate in AZ right now. None of this is your fault, but you also have to understand where these dudes on here are coming from. They’ve seen one opportunity after another drift away into the sunset and it’s left scar tissue. In terms of your original question, you are in a good spot for what you want. Get some bino’s on a tripod, start looking for deer. When you find one you like, sneak until you are close enough to make the shot, then do it. Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

See if the manual tells you what circuit that fuse controls and then check plugs and that bit of wiring or component it controls. Something caused it to blow.

with a name like that shes probably built like @firstcoueswas80

Well now…… this gives a redneck ideas of what to do with an old tool box and a chunk of granite countertop. Thank you sir!

Agree...hunted there once. Watching my buddy stalking a buck and seeing hikers and bikers in the same frame in my binos was an odd feeling. Haven't been back.

No, unfortunately

I have dies for this that I don’t ever plan to use, free to anyone who picks up north phx

Just got back home yesterday from 5B where my wife filled her tag and my daughter did not. She could or should have but I screwed her by bringing out my long range rifle instead of what she was carrying throughout the hunt. She was a good sport about it and glad her mom dropped the elk. We walked alot between scouting and hunting and according to my wife's tracker we finished at 54.24 miles. Friday was the worst as we were packing the elk out until almost 11pm. Luckily by the end of the hunt my daughter was ready for more and wants a bigger bull than her mother. I want to thank @tinyturtle and @Coues&Coyotes for offering to help if I needed it . Chris was also very helpful during the hunt explaining the unit. He definitely knows the area (which is huge). I've hunted 5B twice (successfully) before but was never able to check out many parts the the u it.

Mine worked great. There is a flat side and a side that is protruded in the same shape as the NL opening.

You guys running the Gen 2 Mutnt BL Pure stud.with their adapter have any issues getting it installed? Mine will not.lock up tight at all but maybe I'm doing something wrong. Feels like it needs a spacer... Just got it figured out. The anodizing had the adapter knob really stuck. Had to use pliers. Owner good people...

Mine has 9000 miles and really no issues - except for a wiring harness that got frayed... still runs strong...love it. Well.... I am embarrassed to say after the ordeal my son and I had yesterday... the 15A IGA fuse was blown. determined it was error code 63 - reviewed the service manual and first thing manual said was to check the fuse.... yep fuse blown. Strange since it would still turnover but not start.

they were like $15 on Amazon

Thank god my family packed it up and got the f out of that weather. Family friends sending me pics of nice deer but it’s icy cold. And I’m hunting rams getting a premium tan

I took my daughters quarters in. Weighed in at 202 lbs. Got maybe 80 lbs back. We normally do it ourselves but we were all tired. Go back to doing it ourselves on the next one.

Have always done my own deer and small animals but 17 or so years ago I had a bison processed by a reputable processor. The meat was good but I don’t believe it was entirely my meat. We opened a few packages of beef cow T-bones even. I’ve done all my own animals since.

Smoked mackerel made into dip for lunch and gold spotted bass tacos for dinner. I Fried some gulf grouper in panko also but it didn’t look aesthetic so didn’t picture

My favorite hunt. Look forward to reports.

Bacon wrapped goose on the trager.
