    I stuck a 105 on Tuesday that was full rut. Definitely has started up high.

    I sat one of my favorite waters till 11:30. Only saw one doe and a turkey that did laps around it for 4 hours. Decided to take my chair and lunch back to the truck and check another water that’s about a mile back from that one. I began to walk it and saw a doe walking through the real thick stuff about 35 yards away. She started squatting and throwing her tail up like estrus does do, so I figured she had a buck with her. I set up where I had a shooting lane if there was a buck that took the same path, and sure enough he did. There were really tight windows so only real good shot I had was a touch more forward than I like, but at 35 yards I knew I could do it. I let it fly and he dropped right there. As I was taking pictures I had another smaller buck almost run me over going down the same trail as the doe. They are fired up down here at-least. He was about 6000ft elevation and I’m right off the border. Good luck and I hope you guys start seeing more action!

    If you aren't going to eat it then don't kill them. You can stalk them but use your camera or don't hunt them at all.

    I would like to find something big enough to use as a backstop for block target but also be able to shoot. Please let me know if anyone has one they are interested in letting go. TIA

    I had a guy tell me they are going to attempt to get the Americans with Disability Act involved. There is a possibility a can of worms has been opened. Think I will go fishing

    Just spitballing here, but limiting access to certain leased land would make those leases more desirable. If you own land and post it, but now you can keep people off leased state trust land too. How much more could they charge for those leases? They are looking at closing it to hunting and closing access roads. This dovetails with Land Owner Tags. The leased land would not increase the quantity of tags, but would stop joe public from hunting those "private" areas

    Quit being lazy and spend a little effort. We make chorizo, breakfast sausage, summer sausage; jerky and this year added brat patties that are awesome. If you hunt them figure out a way to enjoy them or don’t hunt them and if you leave them in the ditch you are a piece of poaching shat that I hope gets busted at some point. Have some respect for the animal you killed. And predators are not game animals. Don’t make a dumb argument for that.

    What is the reason for banning anything in hunting? Because the more we can exclude others from participation, the more we can tailor hunting around our own interests, preserving our own opportunities at the expense of others. Yes, a crossbow is easier to use than a compound bow. Yes, a compound bow is easier to use than a traditional bow. That’s why compound guys want compounds excluded. Same reason trad guys want their own season. The simple fact is that as the population of AZ grows, we will have to find ways to further limit the % of harvest. That can be done in a lot of different ways. Nearly all people will look at others before being willing to change themselves. Crossbow's and compound bows are an easy thing to look at and point to for exclusion. But there are other ways to limit efficacy. What would happen to success rates if we didn’t allow sittIng water? On drought years, archery success rates are way higher than when it’s abundant. I don’t have strong feelings about any of the weapon types. But I do think that limiting more and more weapon types or groups of hunters is just death my 1,000 cuts. We can keep trimming back what is allowed, but the growing population will just keep pushing the demand. So we need to work together to develop solutions that simultaneously increase wildlife populations and control efficacy.

    Been trying to figure out the proper way to go about this. Was going to make a different post…but basically, on day 4 I was able capture lightning in a bottle and dig up one of those big Coues bucks. I found this buck on Thursday morning after hunting half of Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I found a nucleus of bucks and was just starting to kind of figure it out when I stumbled across this guy. I had no idea what he was when I shot. After passing up a couple medium bucks, I spotted this one at 286 yards, got him in the spotting scope before the morning sun had hit him, and right then he turned toward me. All I saw was “a big brow” and said “YEP YEP YEP! That’ll do.” I got a great surprise when I walked up to him.
