now looking at it closer and closer it looks like an antler...i agree with my uncle(DUG)

anyone gonna be up in 23 in nov?

23 Archery Bull.........wooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!! its the november hunt...skunked on piggies and deer

lets hope they are today

well...its a toss up....id say more of an ear then antler

i just bought two guns...my uncle....i got a remington 270 pump, and a winchester 12 gauge $300...my brother would buy it...

when i went on my hunt last sept...it was so green it felt like hunting in a rainforest with its thickness...but there are turkeys there i have seen them this summer....they are just hard to find....pm me...and i will tell some spots to try

dang i very interested the problem is i live in gilbert...i might have to go down there to buy it from u...the only problem is i wouldnt be able to afford it till a month...if u havent sold it then then i would prolly buy it...i still got two other guns to pay for

i find myslf using the spotting scope to clarify things for me that i cant through my binos and sometimes in really thick areas i like to glass with spotting scope just because it is not shaking and can see better....i find it useful to have or that reason

its so hard to belive anything anymore....just a rollercoaster of emotions....we just need to calm down and be patient...but we are all prolly the worst at being patient, and that is fine...we know how we should act, but our emotions are taking us over...alls we know is that it is getting close

so does that mean the results are gonna be out within the next couple of days?

i am not able to see if there are any cc hits...i used my dads card and he just left for an alskan cruise this morning...i will just have to wait...i think looking at your accounts to see if there were any hits is like peekingat your christmas presents before christmas but i dont blame ya'll i would do the same thing

im up there alot...i have seen turkey there the past couple of times ive been up there this summer...lots of elk...i got my elk last year in that area...on the limited oppurtunity hunt...it was surprisingly a great hunt...i got it opening day...there was a big herd of elk...lots of oppurtunity...just have to be lucky to see them turkeys

i have had the sequioa spotting scope for a couple of years it gets the job done for what i can afford...i also bought my first guns a week ago...a 270 remington pump(it has no scope, i think im gonna keep it that way, i have gotten pretty good at shooting it without one)...and a winchester 12 gauge...i bought from my uncle...its a good start on my collection for guns...im also gonna be buying nikon monarchs, my dad has them and they are awesome especially for there price

has arizona ever had a fatality from a bear...ive always wondered that...the bears in az dont seem to be that dangerous more shy then not

awesome pics...i could look at those all day...im getting real excited for this fall and see how the bulls are gonna turn out....i wanna see more pics

yeah desertbull is right...fire's are good for the land and animals love using the burn areas when new growth starts popping up... it should be fine just give it a year. i feel bad for those losing evrything they got up there though...hope all goes well for them

thats all some good advice...im not getting down about the future hunting it just is gonna be sad if things do get really bad...because we all enjoy hunting so much...if there isnt much chance to get to go hunting it will just be sad...but hunting isnt the only thing to do to have to enjoy the outdoors...there are plenty of other fun things to do...heck, i enjoy hunting but it wont kill me if i cant kill an animal....the reason i enjoy hunting so much is that i get to be in the outdoors and enjoy all of the land and smells i dont have to kill an animal for it to be a sucssesful hunt... i just love being in the outdoors...that wont chage

Being 17 years old and all, i have always had this on my mind. How is the hunting going to be here in Az in 20, 30, 40 yrs, etc...What is it going to be like for my kids and my grandkids. Iam a little worried that it is not gonna be very good in the future. there are so many people moving here, amd Az is getting a lot more publicity on how good our hunting is. This all means a bunch more people heading into our beautiful forests, and like desertsheep was talking about in his topic, more competition. There are so many problems that i see are going to occur. I dunno, i have always been curious to what other people have thought about this.We all have our hunting spots which we like to think no one elses uses but most likely it is not a secret spot. Just with more and more people hunting it takes away sometimes from the experience. But it is fun to make a gameplan according to what other hunters are gonna do. Other hunters can hurt your experience or make it one of the best experiences. I know we all like to go out hunting and get to our spot but then there is another truck right where u were gonna go. I expect that but i still dont like it. I like to be with my friends and family out hunting and no one else. I jus think in the future it is gonna get too congested. Am i crazy? I just hope it will stay the same and the way it will do that is with us following all the rules and being friendly and having a good attitude...im jus rambling but ive had this on my mind for a long time.

hey thnx for all this...i want to get a group started that would be awesome. I know things will be good and bad its just how you deal with it that makes the difference...im excited for the future just gotta keep that attitude and things will be awesome

those are some good pics....that bull looks decent i wanna see more pics

alls i can say is no one is gonna stop coming here...i just say make the best of it however old you are. Just enjoy what we have right now....im always hopeful that it could get better in the future....u just got to make the best of it now....cuz they are gonna be a lot of changes

thnx so much....i like forums like these the are fun to be in and voice your opinion. Im definitely gonna chech out some organizations, to me joining would be worth the time...thnx again for the input.

good point...i dunno i just had this on my mind and i thought i would throw it out here. I just hope that the hunting wont get to congested, yeah i know arizona is huge and has a lot of land and so is new mexico. But how much is all this gonna change, i think dramatically and it wil affect hunters and where we hunt

thats very true....once the drought lets up a little(i dont think it will ever though) animals will thrive, but there is so many people coming to arizona it is unbelievable. That means more competiton for permits. Which also means we wil not get drawn as often. it will be dang hard to get a permit but this sorta fits in with desertsheeps topic, we need to find a way to make it more fair if things are gonna work out in the future
