Young bucks rutting down south but nothing mature is showing up yet

Azgfd just stopped to check in, see if they were hunting, doing their job.The attorneys clearly a giant douche. Shocker….

I’m not gonna act like I’m sad asu lost, but asu fans should be proud. heck of a game, found a way to come back and should have won against a team they were overmatched against basically the entire game. That 4th down td ALMOST made me feel bad for you guys, what a heartbreaker….Respect to your team…. Now hopefully back to the basement next year like usual!

Are you sure about that?! come on man! if Arizona was the one playing in the playoff you’d be on here talking crap too! It’s all we have this year… all in fun just prepare yourself, even if asu wins this game, I’m still gonna poke fun when they lose next week

Agree , very obvious

I think one of us might be a little biased in what we are seeing…

Hahaha! I’ve never seen so many lucky breaks! God wants the devils to lose in the semifinals?

At least let Burt nail the field goal before coming up with excuses

They got a break on the interception targeting…. Texas was repaid the favor… it’s a wash

If that was targeting then so was the one on the interception earlier…. Good to see them call it consistently

Very cool! Congrats!

Best of luck to ya! Sure hopes it’s better than last year! Least deer movement I think I’ve ever seen in late December, and of course the year I had a rifle tag…. Ended up shooting a good one but it definitely wasn’t because the bucks were on the move

I haven’t been out in weeks but absolutely they can be rutting now or start rutting at anytime, lot of years Christmas is right around the time some rut action becomes noticeable. Last year was not one of those years

I hate to see them make the playoff, but you gotta give it to them…. I will, however, thoroughly enjoy watching them get curbstomped in the playoff!

I’d have guessed he’d score higher, but fantastic buck man. Shooter every time

Grakksaw are awesome if weight is a concern. Just a few ounces total for 2 larger and one smaller bag, enough for a deer

NICE

Location?

I stuck a GoPro on my shotgun a few years back for a few hunts. Kinda fun, but I didn’t have any use for footage like that so it ran its course. I just played with it for dove, might be cool to try again for ducks, Sandhills, or quail this year… hmm…

Also, if you don’t really want to hire a guide or go knock on doors, the big dairy farm down there has a program where you can sign up and they’ll let you hunt on their land. We haven’t done it, and not exactly sure about the details, but it’s a pretty decent opportunity to find a pretty easy spot to start

We are no experts, shot a few as first timers a few years ago just sitting public lands having no clue what we were doing. the next year we drew again, bought a few decoys and found a cool farmer that lets us set up in his field. We all shot limits. We didn’t use a blind, just hid ourselves a bit with some grass and sat still. The guide setups we saw were impressive and I’m sure they have really high success, but it’s definitely a very doable diy hunt. It’s a ton of fun, we drew tags this year after striking out a couple years

There are a handful of deer hunts that are classified “restricted muzzleloader “, looks like those extra restrictions apply. Regular muzzleloader hunts basically just no smokeless powder or scopes

I had a muzzleloader tag in nm last year, and scopes are prohibited. I was using 209 primers and sabots… I was checked by game and fish and was all good. I’ll have to read up on it but I wasn’t aware of further restrictions for this year

I don’t really see the accomplishment in having 1 of 30 friends spot a buck for me to shoot. Maybe it’s just me…. I want to find the area myself, I want to pack in myself, I want to spot the deer myself, I want to stalk and shoot it myself, I want to break down and pack out the deer myself, and I want to process the meat myself. Of course if I’m with my brother or a buddy, we will help each other.To me, that’s what hunting is all about. Those are all aspects of what makes hunting what it is to me, and I take pride in how I go about every aspect. Each of those parts of hunting is equally important to me, and sacrificing any of those to have an army of helpers just to try to make sure I fill the tag, I’d personally feel no satisfaction in hunting that way
