Been doing a lot of research on the Bab lately, but then I got thinking I don't think I've have ever heard of anyone ever nabbing mule deer up in the alpines of Mt Baldly or San fransico peaks. I know there are lots of big muleys up in the alpines of Utah and Colorado, but has anyone heard or hunted our limited Alpines in Arizona?

The eye guards on the left is sweet looking!!!!

You should European mount that buck

Hey guys I've never hunted the Bab, but I'm really wanting to in the future. How many points does it usually take to do the early hunt? Also how many points does it take for the Archery hunt? I thought Ill try this and just get the left over tag so I can still hunt that year. Any info would be great!!

Lance, but what if it's a really big 2 Pointer??? It better be 26"+. I have actually seen a few 26-30+" forkies up on the Bab. It just kills me to see all the small immature bucks taken every year up there when I am fortunate enough to draw a tag. And on opening day. While I totally respect meat hunting, and understand that meat in the freezer is a true priority, you could do that in just about any unit out there other than the Kaibab, and usually a lot closer to most people's home, especially on a rifle hunt. But any deer with a bow is a trophy in my opinion. I have taken a few younger deer with my bow as well. Sure are tasty and tender. If it would get drawn out of rifle I would wait till the last day. Archery is another story. I'll shoot good size forkers but not the first day. Depending on the first day I would have no problem take one the second day.

Story???!!!

Lance, but what if it's a really big 2 Pointer???

Would you say if I did just that, that I could put stalks on bucks daily if I'm not chasing big deer? I'll go for little bucks, but bigger than forkers with my bow. If it was a rifle hunt I would wait it out. I haven't got anything that big yet in your avatar, so I'm ok working my way up with bucks and put a few more under the belt.

At least it didn't take away your bonus point.

That's what I feared.

Congrats way to go!

The book was awesome!!! He was my modern day war hero. Still pissed on how he went out of this world. Just helping a war veteran who went nuts. I'm planning on seeing the movie soon

Toad'!!!!

Pm Average Joe. He gave a lot of information on the Wyoming goats

Well Elitegt500 is a master at advertisement. They say sex sales, and using the title "TopLess" will probably get a ton of views on is thread ha ha. Has anyone claim this top yet, or want to admit it from the past?

I'm telling you just save up a few hundred dollars more and get the Leicas 1600 B. On a good day I can range out to 1800 yards. No problem doing a 1000 yards, and if you hit dark objects it's pretty easy to hit 1600 yards all the time. You can set it up for angle adjustment, so it takes account the angle and reads back true horizontal shooting yards. Also ballistic shots for your rifle which I haven't done and figured out yet.

Yeah these high quality brand camo company never thought about testing camo in Arizona. Camo jean or carharts works great. The nice rolling couse hills and mountains with the lush grass can be nasty. You sit down to glass and this grass out here just buries it's self into your back side unless your wearing carharts or jean camo

I'm crying from laughter!!!

I've been doing research for a future coyote gun. Something with low recoil, with enough weight to reach out and touch and can handle the wind better then the little .22s, This will be primarily for yotes, and maybe deer in the future if and when i choose. The 3 gun debate is the 22-250, .243, and 6.5 creedmoor. I know there are a lot of 6mms and 6.5s out there but let's keep it simple to those 3. I've seen results with .243s and the 22-250, but the 6.5 CM has really caught my eye. The problem is all the research, and writes ups and forums are all old back to 2008-2010. I know the CM is coming up swinging right now and lot more reloads and ammo for it, but I haven't seen any new write ups. So what are your guys thoughts, pros and cons, loads for a good yote round on those 3 rounds? Your answers will curve my appetite for research

Lance what's the BC on the 95 grain v max for the creedmoor vs the 95 grain .243? Or would you just keep a heavier bullet regardless with the CM for yotes?

That's a cool looking buck. Great job! I haven't heard back if you nailed any of those yotes in 36B?

Looks goofy. But I don't need those. I shoot from the hip and get a 1 MOA at 350 yards

I knew of a job superintended that did this, and was successful on both of those Hunts, so two deer for that year. So I now it happens. But I believe that game and fish does not do too much about investigating or changing regs because of all of the low success rates in archery hunting anyways. Thats my guess.

Hunted down south today. Cold and the buck in my area was rutting hard. Even a couple of spikes were trying to make a move in the ladies.

I looked around but didn't find any topics on this. I was reading in a predator magazine and it said that Alaska banned drones for hunts. i totally agree with that and I don't know what AZ stances is on this. I would be in favor to ban drones for hunting but what about for scouting on non hunting days or even a week before any hunt starts? What do you guys think of those?. From what I hear they are only a few hundred bucks and I could understand how that could give some good Ariel view to find that water source. I don't know! Food for thought? At the same time we have done good with out them.
