Haven't posted in a while but thought id share my pig. Found a herd 1st day out on 1/4/25 hope everyone had a good holiday season and A good new year! Good luck to everyone with tags! Its dry and hard to stalk. If you can find water glass all the country around water and the pigs are probably somewhere near!

And the price has gone up a thousand bucks since it was originally listed! Man this is an awesome sales tactic.

A bit late but here was the result of my hunt. I did 6 or so quick early morning glassing sessions throughout the summer and found 4 decent bucks and saw 3 of them multiple times in the same general areas. Tall with weak forks; short but thicker and curvy; wide; and this unknown one too far away. Day before season we started closer to this buck to get better eyes on him and found him with a few does. They went up and bedded in a good spot to shoot. After not seeing any more antelope driving and glassing the unit the rest of that day we set up in the same spot to find this buck opening morning. He started in about the same spot but this time he and the does went 1.5 miles away from us and into an area with no roads and out of sight. The hill he disappeared on had one tree that they could have used for bedding, otherwise they might have slipped down further away. I decided to get up on the knob above them. Made the 2 mile trek in 100+ degree heat. Got up above them and peered over and thought I saw them but realized it was a small forky mule deer and a doe/fawn bedded in the other tree on the hillside. I kept creeping over and saw the top of the tree that I could see on the map and sure enough the buck and 2 does were bedded under it. I set up for the shot and when he stood up I dropped him in the only shade on the sunny hillside at 160 yards. The neat thing was that I had run into the game and fish guy for the unit the day before so I was able to share that he was down and he shared pictures of the archery tag's buck as well as the other rifle tag's buck the next day when he killed. The meat has been as good or better than any of the best deer or elk I've ever had. Even cuts that aren't usually very tender on deer/elk have been tender on the antelope. Probably because it had been slow cooked in the sun all summer long. 😉 7 or 8 days of being out there an not one rattler for me. My eyes were on the lookout in all that heat but none shown themselves. The odds ended up being pretty crazy to draw the tag. 603 people put in for the 2 tags but the 1 tag went in the bonus round to the other rifle hunter with 27 points. So it was me against 602 people for the remaining tag.

YODER Pizza!

Apply For general and use a crossbow then. Nobody can stop you.

The nice thing about inviting me is I bring people who are actually good at hunting.

Unlike my elk tags, I take my women how I can get them. Basically got an OTC tag coming over tonight.

Just speaking for Rosy lake, but the bass are on a really good bite now on crawfish. So look for areas that they would be- rocks and such and fish down were they are. Rubeer worm,jigs etc, might catch a new state record. But bundle up its cold out there. If you happen to snag a white johnny morris rod and reel with a swimbait on it over by school house launch its mine, a reply would be appreciated.

Just wanted to give a shout out to Mark and his Crew. Great customer service, in fact the best I've had in a very long time. Seems like Customer Service these days have gone down hill, finding good employees is tough. Thanks again!

Talk to Tres, get a Brittany

Made a couple lemon pies tonight.

Hunting over dogs is the sweetest. I miss those days, now I got a house lab and a psycho cattle dog. Used to run a flushing lab and a Brit, great combo .

If you look a little harder there’s gsp puppies for sale on this site right now

Always thought champ hunts were for parapalegics and what not. But I guess that’s all been perverted as well

WinCo has bison burger $8.99/lb

Costco in Tucson usually has Bison burger at a fair price.

I mean I'd probably back out too if what I went to buy was 7 years older than listed LOL

I only have one honey hole right now, but its in an otc area so I guess I can't help you.

Ok, maybe hunter pool depredation tag cow in the agricultural fields.

Submit comments to the dept. Right now they are hearing one side of the equation.

I don’t care for this. I’m an archer at heart tore my bicep and tricep ligament 2 years ago still not back into archery. My only option is shooting a kids bow. my next archery hunt coming up should be lope (13 points) Shooting a kids bow to 70yds is my only option. And I’m not putting in for rifle lope and not sitting water. Spot and stalk archery lope is the best hunt out there. I don’t think I would ever pick up a crossbow but don’t close the door on it becuase other people abuse it

Yup, Gogonhower was on the radio yesterday, no more my shoulder hurts, doctor says. Crossbows only for general hunts and ham hunts. And Champ hunts only. It's about time. Can't draw a bow go gun.

Generally, when it's a dry winter it's a really wet late spring. This could be one of those times with perfectly timed rain.
