Oh.. Yep that's the price I pay for being a newbie haha.

Not sure what that means...

Best hunting story I have read on this forum. Next time my shoulder hurts when I pull back my bow I'm gonna think of it.

AZGFD has removed the story from their Flakebook page. Shady.

Watson has good fishing. It's a dirty lake though. I would not eat the fish. Sewer plant half a mile upstream. Willow has great fishing with cleaner water. Lots of weeds though. Get out in a small boat and you can catch some BIG bass.

sounds like they should sell their hunting gear and grow vegetables.

I am blessed to live in a central location with great hunting all around me. I go hiking ,small game hunting and woodcutting in the areas I am interested in and that is how I find my spots I like. When I put in for tags the first thing I do is ask myself " do I have the time, resources to make this a quality hunt?". Then I pick my hunt units. I don't put in for a dream hunt and then panic and stress about how I'm gonna get my tag filled. Google earth is awesome for finding roads/ trails and water. Those forest service maps are not always accurate as far as water locations and road locations.i went scouting this weekend. Boy do my feet hurt.found out that the elk are not anywhere near where they were when I tagged out last year. Gonna pick a different location and get more boots to the ground this weekend.

yep. Looks like burlap sticking out w gun barrel

3 for 3. Clump of grass at base of mildly bent pine right of center.

Yep, the guy who only has one kill in 15 years. = one hit wonder.I Draw EVERY year I put in. I bust my ars. Don't always tag out but I hunt. Not kill. I go jogging once in awhile, doesn't make me a marathon runner.

I'm sure this one kilt me looking for him lol! I think it's a he is about 2/3 down in the middle. In the pine branches?

Not sure on this one much better. I would open fire on dark hole in pine boughs.bottom third of pic, 1/3 from the left.

Easy. Train harder.

You don't know where/how to hunt. Pay a guide. You don't know how to pick up women/ get a date. You pay a pimp to find find you one. Same thing in my book. Cept guides are legal.

I'm sure the police report is public info..

Great job!!

Happy birthday to your son. There is no better gun than someone's first hunting rifle. Especially later on when he remembers all the great hunts he went on with dad!!

I'm sure the farmers will find them unwanted pests and " get rid" of them before any huntable numbers of them are available.

Should be a fun hunt with only 40 tags. Lots of good bucks if you get off the roads.

That's a beautiful bull! Have not seen many bulls like that in az.

G&F is on Flakebook also. I get notifications any time they have new info for the public.

They can grade closed roads up in the Kaibab NF but they can't make new ones down south? I would not want to be a ranch owner and have to be forced to allow people access through my land, at the same time we as tax payers have the right to enjoy land that our tax $ funds. Wish they would just build core roads. I don't mind all the small road closures as long as I can hike into an area fairly easy.

800+ tags, good luck. There are elk in all parts of the unit. It was an awesome hunt 10 years ago. I don't know how it is now but you might want to wear hunter orange. I use to hunt elk on the Perrin Trap ranch.

Howa makes a great youth rifle, and they are super accurate.

There is a guy in prescott who rides a quad around everywhere on the highway, has a homemade cab w windshield. Anyways he has what looks like just a common car or truck muffler mounted on it. Super quiet.
