Oh yeah my bad I guess I should have been more clear on reading the regs and hunt unit info and all info on the hunt through the regs! Greatly appreciate the insights on the calls and most definitely will be carrying a handgun! Personally I am not the greatest hunter when it comes to blinds just havent put in the reps for it to get good at it with winds and placement and better at spot and stalk with a higher vantage point. Hunting all varieties of animals has taught me I need to get better at setting up blinds and hunting by sitting. Thank you, TJ

Thank you! Yeah I will be heading down the weekend before to go scout down there!

Ok thank you!!!!!!!!

hahahha Yeah I figured I just have never hunted them and was looking for pointers not someone's spot. I appreciate the advice and I have been scouring over OnX maps plotting points and water and trying to get more familiar with the area before I can get down there. Would you say spot and stalk is kind of out of the question and I need to focus more on sitting with a ground blind or something? Thank you, TJ Perez

Thank you. I did read the regs which I stated in my post and thats where I started. Thank you for your help! -TJ

Hey everyone! So I drew my first ever bear tag for archery down in 35A/35B starting May 3rd through July 31st. I am new to bear hunting and not sure where to begin minus reading the regs and trying to look at places to hunt off OnX maps and google earth. Any info would be appreciated greatly! Thank you everyone!

This is so awesome!!!!!!!!! Congrats on your first bear!!!!!!!!! I drew the same tag this year for my first bear hunt ever!

Sorry I havent gotten back to you guys! It was a rough hunt with not know how to hunt that area and unable to glass most of the time due to the entire first day being fogged out and just went walking that Saturday night and got on some tracks and it snowed Saturday night and I went back out on Sunday morning and I got on fresh tracks and found a spike with a couple cows and shot him at about 250 yards. Pack out was about 2 miles and not too steep. The meat tastes great!

I did not but tagged out on my first elk!

Thank you! Yeah I am not used to not having vantage points to glass from so I am trying to figure out what will be best on how to locate and take a bull!

Greatly appreciate the info! Gonna hunt hard and put in a bunch of miles and glass as much as I can!

Thank you!

Thank you very much I definitely will! Really Appreciate the info! -TJ

Hello, After 6 years I finally drew an elk tag in my home state of AZ. This will be my very first elk since I have been unsuccessful OTC in Colorado the past 2 years and only started hunting 6 years ago. I drew an AZ Unit 9 Late Season Bull tag. I have been eScouting as much as I can and going to start scouting several weekends before the hunt starts since I know they wont be in the same area as they're now due to moving to winter ranges. I am just looking for some tips or what kind of country to be in during that time from anyone who has hunted them in unit 9 during the late season. Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you, TJ 480-720-8987

I live in ahwatukee off Warner and I-10. And I have a bow and definitely will be heading out in August and December January!
