My daughter drew a late rifle unit 8 never hunted up there but have scouted 3 times now 5 hour drive each time. Seen a few bulls from the transition to the high country up by Bill willams. Anybody have advise on we’re i get some good glassing done. It’s her first bull hunt and the baby in the family. Thanks y’all for any help.

Well got home late last night.we didn’t tag out but I had lots of fun with all my girls. We hunted hard in a tough unit. Lots of snow and memories were made and lots of new friends like Bob and Joe who came out to helped glass. We came across 8 bulls 7 on the last day. Just couldn’t get close enough to close the deal. We got with in 800 yards of a monster 7x8 on the last day just couldn’t make it happen. One thing I can say is that my girls hunt as hard as anyone and they will have the knowledge to carry on a legacy and show there kids what I have show them. I truly love my girls and they make me a proud father and husband Thanks to all of you guys that lend a hand and gave advise. Hope to see you all next year.

She been hitting hard no luck but lots of snow. Very little movement I don’t know

Nice job!DIY I like it

Bring some warm gear daughter goes to NAU said they had snow yesterday

When i scouting I found them to still be high hoping the weather will push the down

Nice congrats

That sucks! I agree should put a camera somewhere else and you can get a pic of the and the put on blast in Facebook

South of stoman lake around the canyons seen a lot down there.

They are scattered for sure. Seen a nice bull but he is hanging out on private property so he’s out. I am not that kind of hunter also need to set the example for my kid. Did some glassing in the lower half but some of this canyons aren’t accessible holy crap they are something

That’s is cool just showed the grandson he was mesmerized .

Nice bull like the whale tails

Nice

Well gents just got back yesterday from my daughters first bull hunt in 22N. My buddy and his dad also had tags so we all went together. It was a tough year and had to deal with some in unethical hunters. Found a lot of nice bulls day before the opening of the season but as you all know after the first shot they all run and hide. We had a couple of nice 7x7 picked out but someone had them set aside for some clients I guess. It only took 12 shots to kill one of them. My daughter was bummed but thats hunting. She kept her head high and pushed on and it payed off her and my buddys dad killed theirs on the third day and my buddy on the last day. This is one proud dad she not only help quarter him out she packed two of them on her own. For any of you that hunt that unit you know what I am talking about. It was a good year for her first hunts she killed a mule deer in the kibab also wow and we just found out she is going to graduate high school a year early with honors yeah!

thank you and they sure are hard but she put the time in and she was rewarded dad help a little

I like that. She did the right thing I don’t know if I would react the same way when I was her age. She is a remarkable young lady.

I feel the same some people just don’t have a concept on what it really takes to hunt time behind the trigger to scouting out animals. The just pay the fee and take the picture. I don’t know how those guides do it I would loss my mind and take the gun from them .

Thanks

Sorry seen

I sent a ton or bulls in sycamore canyon during th deer season and in the juniper of of devil dog road in the cuts comeing from water

Its a .300 WSM he loves to shoot it and with the brake there is no recoil. nice set upright I have a friend that has one His son smacks it down at 500 yrds

Like the rifle too takes a gun of that caliber to make shots like that.

Way to go that's awesome!

I can say how proud I am of my wife and daughter. They went into a unit they never been In Idid some scouting for them and gave them a few places to look the first day they passed on a bunch of spikes and fork n horns. They seen a couple 4x4 and 3x3. But they ere unable to get them. On Sunday my wife called a said she shot a deer I walked them through how to gut and skin because I could not be there due to work. She did it all with out no complaints. On sunday my daughter filled her tag after passing in a few deer I guess she found the one that she wanted lol. She shot a 3x3 that had 27" spread and was a very nice deer for her first. Those girls made me proud and I was impressed with what they did. Thanks to all that help on the this site. I would like to thank the two hunters that help them finish the skinning and let them hang the dee at their camp. My wife's deer was a non tipical 5x4 also a nice deer.

I was I wasn't happy for sure
