That's sexy

This was our first time hunting 36B but we had decent intel as we have friends in Rio Rico/Nogales and talked to a bunch of guys who were successful from elsewhere. I scouted all day Thursday before the hunt and found the areas I wanted to focus on. My son was pretty discouraged after not seeing anything Thursday and all of Friday until we found his buck in late afternoon. There were two bucks and they may have just briefly hit water and were walking back to bed down. My dad caught them up and then lost them but I found the one my son shot bedded and then my dad found the other. According to my dad the buck we didn't shoot was bigger. He was watching from about 700 yards away. My son and I snuck into 300 yards and he anchored the buck with the first shot but had to finish it off. I have him shooting my push-feed Winchester M70 in 7mag with 150gr Sierra Gamechangers at around 3100fps. It's a nice, light recoil load and they actually performed excellent and both exited. This buck was just a tough customer and still tried to crawl away after taking that second bullet through both lungs. The fat on him was like nothing I've ever seen and we had to shave off an inch just to pull the backstraps. Definitely eating good and living the relaxed life in a hidey-hole. I really love the area and have been waiting for an opportunity to hunt there. Hopefully many more hunts down there in the future.

Is this accurate?🙃

My buddy owns a shop, he's a great dude and pays better then average for the area and still charges less then most other shops and simply takes a smaller cut for the business. But potential candidates need to know their stuff. He wants good dudes not turds. Pm me and I will put you in contact.

kid my butt....I know one adult who is

I have been seeing kaibab mtn goats sporadically since the internet started. Like back in 97 on bowsite

This white stuff changed my plans alot

Does this count for feral horses? Asking for a friend lol

It was shocking not to see a bunch of animals, for us. I literally didn't see a single doe. I scouted all day on Thursday before the hunt opened and Friday we hunted 2/3 of the day before we found the buck my son shot and another (likely bigger) buck and that's all the deer we saw. We were hunting near Pena Blanca/Rio Rico. I will say, the bucks were certainly not up high where I expected them to be.

That’s not abnormal, they ski till July there. Snowbowl with 47” on November 22 is crazy

Chances are I’ll be watching from the sidelines. But a guy can dream

Cut slices so thin, I couldn’t even see them

Great job, we saw over 80 does in 2.5 days before we saw a single spike buck on the last morning. Could not believe how many does we were seeing without seeing any bucks. Statistically speaking, should have seen way more bucks than we did! Also 36b.
