I’d pick wherever you live closest to so you can spend time really learning the unit.theres great coues area all over central and south az

Highly recommend bull basin. Robinson’s has rubbed me the wrong way a couple times and I wouldn’t go there if you support getting new hunters into bow hunting.they sure didn’t.

Wish you sold this thing a month ago...

You can do either. I’m almost always glassing morning and evening though, and if I decide to do some still hunting it’s usually between mid morning and mid afternoon. I’ll walk washes or thick bottoms a bit especially if it’s warm out

Very high if not 100% across the board

First time I’ve ever missed them coming through Arizona since I was in high school.... dang elk!

Eating a new recipe right now we decided to try. Soak in milk overnight. Cut breast meat off bone. Toss in Flour, then egg, then Panko seasoned with a good amount of creole seasoning. Fry til golden. Dip in bbq, buffalo, or sweet and sour sauce. Pretty darn good for dove.

We were done by 6. Most dove I’ve ever seen. Looked like one of those Argentina dove hunts, literally thousands of birds. Unbelievable!

Yeah man that’s a very nice coues buck

I’m gonna say savage. Killed many animals. Rugged, accurate, any part/accessory/ upgrade you can think of is readily available. Absolutely plenty accurate for anyone short of true long range shooting. Cheap. The Remington 870 of rifles. Even the low end axis rifles I’ve been around shoot plenty well. cant go wrong with tikka either though...

We will be up there

Anyone have any experience with one of these? Opinions?

There’s one that stands head and shoulders above the rest. I just recently bought some turtle skins and they are awesome. Comfortable, well made, and most importantly they weight literally 1/4 or less what my other ones weigh that I’ve used forever. They’re crazy expensive, but I wish I would’ve bought them many years ago.Totally worth it.

Not half a mile from me... geez

What area?

There’s actually 5 hunts, plus youth hunt, plus muzzleloader hunt, plus archery! Best unit in the state, but way way way too many tags given for 33, which is a dang shame

Well what’re you waiting for?

Well what’re you waiting for?

We had some forking off with maybe 7” of main beam about a week ago

Why run from cva and traditions? I do realize that cva had some issues for a while, but I have a new one that shoots great. I’m also a big rem 700 fan, but they put out some real poor quality rifles for a while around a decade ago... or is your opinion similar to the “everything but Swarovski sucks” crowd? I’m new to muzzleloadera but I’m just wondering

Are we wannabe poacher/thieves? 🤨

The worst hunter is better then the best poacher

Is there a price listed that I’m not seeing?

It was a tough hunt.6 days out there, shot the only buck I saw. Habitat is different over there, some awesome looking Coues area we were in produced not one whitetail. I think one of the mistakes I made was I was heck bent on hunting the way I do here in az, glassing and stalking, and i think in that unit they’re in the thick, un glassable stuff. Feel free to pm any questions you have, I’ll be out there again this year giving that unit one more shot, but if I can’t figure out a better area, I’ll be putting in elsewhere next year... did see plenty of elk, bears, and mulies but the Coues were almost nowhere to be found where I was
