Sorry Fred I didn’t do your user name correctly we appreciate and enjoy hunting with you! Thanks for the laughs and the help!

Had a Great hunt! 2 weeks ago my dad got a call from azgfd saying someone turned in a tag and he was next in line. They called on a Friday evening and said he needed to let them know Monday morning. We drove up to the unit and started a frantic search to see what we could turn up. We found several decent bucks so he opted to take the tag. The fallowing weekend we found this buck. He spent all this last week patterning this buck in the mornings and evenings. Opening morning dgaf Cwt and I were glassing while my dad was in there normal path, however the buck didn’t fallow the script and did something completely different than normal. My dad did stalk in however he chose not to take a walking shot do to range. That evening Dgaf Cwt and I were joined by my 4 year old Quinley. We spotted the buck and after some crazy rut activity from the buck chasing does and gathering more, we were able to guide him into position. He took the 170 yard shot and hit him right in the pump house! This buck has some crazy mass all the way up! Such a fun experience thanks Dgaf Cwt for your help.

If you need help reach out

Simmer down you can carry a hind quarter out for me 😁

Which one are you looking for

I could use 3 boxes of 6.5 143 eldx if you do this. Thank you!

What year isn’t? 🤪

So is blue point pools in Tucson.

I will meet you there Fred I will bring the 6.5 for a cat so it doesn’t try to eat you. Hopefully we can get my pack bloody!

You are an ASU fan this doesn’t hurt my feelings haha. First elk tag in 8 years

I drew a left over cow hunt

Wife drew for her 3rd elk hunt in 4 years of putting in. Looks like I will have 10 points going into next year.

Mine might say some bar at Roosevelt if I get to add another elk point to the pile already built up.

Though I haven’t had a elk tag for myself in over 7 years I will be dreaming more for my CHAMP father in law to draw an elk tag so he can fill his very first elk tag I think he has 6 points. For antelope I would love for my dad to draw a tag, he has 20 points and just wants a gun tag ether rifle or muzzleloader. I have had 2 tags in the last 3 years for antelope and I feel bad he hasn’t been able to hunt and harvest one at all for himself. 3rd would be for my wife to draw ether elk or antelope and fill the tag. She has had 2 December late cow muzzleloader hunts one 2 weeks after having are first born and one last year where she busted her butt for the hunt. I love hunting and harvesting for myself however seeing dreams come true for the ones I love means more to me than even my passion to hunt for myself.

God is good!!! The first few trips out this hunting season were less than stellar in productivity, but I was able to enjoy the country I was in and the company I had on every trip out. Yesterday evening after getting off work at 2:15pm my buddy Brad and I hit the sticks for an evening hunt. God blessed me with great company and very good help as well as a nice archery coues deer. Thank you brad for all of your help it is very appreciated!!! Hadn’t chased coues in over 10 years since I had moved away from Tucson and couldn’t be happier with getting this buck my first few months back.

Thanks everyone for your responses, my wife has a December elk tag so needed to fill early

Not much of a story really beings the hunt lasted 30 min after opening light. Bedded the buck the night before, Colby was on one side of the meadow close to where they had been the previous night. I glassed the antelope up, Colby got into a little cover and the antelope decided to run right to him. Colby shot and I watched the buck lay down less than 30 yards from where he was originally shot. Fun fast hunt. The buck scores 79 1/2 sci. Big congrats to my cousin!!! Preparation and practice truly do pay off. Hope you enjoy the pictures. The pictures didn’t post in the order I tried to do them in sorry.

Jump up definitely jump up that is where the big ones are shot during archery season

Growth looks about average for the last 3-4 years. My opinion the weak winter didnt much affect it this year. Deer look healthy.

Here is a batch from this weekend, one is looking good

I have friends in Utah I will ask around for you to see if any of them have advice. Good luck on both hunt!!!

Well I drew an archery tag this year, I am very excited about it!!! For all of you that have archery hunted goats in this state any tips for stalking or other things to try the help would be greatly appreciated

The early November hunt is a new hunt for this year

Beat me to it haha
