Welcome to the greatest hunting site on the web!

So, I was recently interviewed on the 207 outdoors podcast! We talk about hunting in Arizona! Had a blast and we've already talked about me coming back on the show! Give it a listen. Hope you enjoy. : ) http://207outdoors.com/207-outdoors-podcast-006-hunting-in-arizona-interview-with-josh-kirchner-of-dialed-in-hunter/

So, I am pretty sure that while scouting for bears the past 2 days, I got bit up by chiggers. I have over 80 bites with most of then being from my waist down. I was wearing long sleeves and pants. I didn't have my pants cinched at the bottoms though and did not have my shirt tucked in. Not sure if that would matter or not. Anyways, I was wondering how you all dealt with these bites, how long they lasted, and how I can prevent from getting them in the future? On a side not, how has scouting been going for you all? Seeing any bears? Looks like this year is gonna yield a nice acorn crop.

LOVE aussies! Best dogs ever! Them and border collies!

That sounds like an awesome hunt! Would love to do that hunt in the future!

That is an awesome buck for sure!

Anyone ever pack into the Three Bar Wildlife Area? Looks like great/rugged terrain from the map.

That sounds like a good plan! : )

The weather was actually one of the reasons that I wanted to try to stick to desert/high desert. Any suggestions?

Good to know!

This is for sure plan on doing. Stash some water beforehand.Consider bear proof containers. Ive returned later to find my stash scattered and empty. Even during January?

Something like that does sound favorable for getting game out. Also, for a first backpack hunt. Not looking to go super deep on a first time thing. Gonna try to focus on locating mule deer as well. Not that I would turn my nose up to a coues at all. In my experience, the mule deer are just way easier to stalk and are less jumpy.Smart move for a stalk hunt. Muleys tend to stay put longer when they bed too. I never met a coues deer that didnt suffer from extreme adhd, especially during the rut. They usually get up and move before im done planning my stalk. Coues deer are much easier to ambush though. Glass in the morning and afternoon, but if youre not on something two hours before sundown, have yourself a good ambush spot picked out to spend the evening. Good time to try rattling and grunt calling, both of which can work on coues and muleys. Just my .02 Yeah, I have definitely ran into that issue before. Spotting something right before dark and not being able to get on it for lack of time. Sitting in ambush sounds like a better idea during that time.

I was looking at that on my map actually. Is that pretty thick country up there or is it glassable?

Super nice buck! Way to go!

That truly is a giant! Big congrats to you!

Dang!! Good deals right there!

That was pretty awesome! Can't wait to have a tag of my own some day.

Oh..........my..............

This is what I do now, and I haven't had any issues.

Since I started using the DEET, I haven't had any issues. Knock on wood!!!!!

Super cool!

DAAAAAAAAAANG!

Such a good buck! Props to her on her first stalk!
