So Im a fairly inexperienced hunter and I plan on trying my luck in Colorado. Ive not been drawn in my home state (Arizona) for last few years. From my understanding the OTC starts in Augest for Colorado. Can anyone give me advice on where to try? I was thinking unit 74 because I have family close to there. Im open to any advice though Id like to finally get a big game animal.

Amazing information. Anything else that would help me while Im out there?

Thank you for the advice Metau. Can you explain why the north side? Im trying to learn these things to become a better hunter.

These are possible units to choose from so I think 36a I'll get the tag tomorrow.

I am going on my first ever Javelina hunt. I decided to buy a leftover HAM tag today. Wish me luck, never hunted any of these units, haven't scouted, going in blind. Just want to get my first javelina so it won't hurt to try. Pics to come maybe?

36a. I have hunted coyotes a few times there. Never seen javelina lol.

What a bruiser. Good job man!

Well CC I am a fairly new hunter so I don't really know what I'm doing yet. That doesn't stop me from trying. Yesterday I was out in my area hiking a trail to the area I wanted to sit. About a quarter mile in I look to my left and a huge 4x4 whitetail is about 17 yards away. I stop nock a arrow and think I finally will have a deer. There were about 4 mesquite trees between us and no possible way for arrow to go unimped. I decided to not take the shot. I tried coming around on him, but he took off when I came within 60 yards again. My question is did I make the right choice? Will arrows be able to go through some brush?

Appreciate the feed back. Saturday and Sunday I'll be out, hopefully I'll be posting a "my first coues" thread.

Hey CWT, I bought a new HHA sight for myself this Christmas. If you don't know you need to sight in at 20 and 60 yards to select a tape. Well 20 is easy that's done, but I can't get 60. I have been trying to get to the fairgrounds to shoot 60 but it's been WAY to windy to make the proper adjustments. I checked th forecast and for the next week same thing. Any ideas on how to sight in? I have my tag and I'd rather be hunting than waiting for a non windy day.

I meant to put this in bow hunting can I delete?

Holy lol, I'm just trying to get 1.

100grains where are you located? I usually roll solo or with a buddy and I have a few good spots that need hunted. I'm in Tucson.

I'm in Tucson it's a little drive but were scouting hard. If you can't find anything message me.

We found a little. There is a 4wd road that I need to get on and I'll be back out scouting this area. Unfortunately I don't have 4wd.

Hey CW I am a new member and a new whitetail hunter. I am trying to get better and I was told this community was the best to help me. I was scouting this weekend and found this area. If you were me where would you start focusing? The three photos are right to left. I really don't know how to look at the area and see feeding area it bedding etc.

Went out with a few buddys yesterday and we set up on high to glass this area. Not a single deer was spotted. We did find a few cows though. Decided to throw the cam up elsewhere.

Thank you gentleman. Tomorrow I'll be putting the boots to the ground. I have a camera to put up.

Well it looks like I'm going to be chasing deer alone in December. I will be on the back side of Mt.Lemon, if any else is I'd like to maybe get a hunt. I'm newish to hunting so I always like to meet more experienced hunters.

Doesn't mean there won't be a lot of people out there.

LOL, There will be less people out there in December than any other hunt

I had to work on this day so I didn't actually get to walk in any further. It's hard to see but there are Cotton wood tress in the middle picture so I'm guessing that water is in there. Also there is a tank on the map, I haven't had the chance to hike to it though. This hunt will be archery late December so will I still want to hunt near water?

I can make it out 2-3 days a week but not in a row. So leaving a camp up would be nice. After work drive to the camp site and it be already up for the night.
