That's fantastic. Good luck on your Lope hunt.

Congrats to all those getting drawn. Better luck next year to those that did not. I really feel for ya.

Mine won't get hit. I transferred all the money out and don't have over draft protection. See I can't go hunting this year in AZ. I will be moving to CO. Can't wait to go hunting up there though 😉

Yeah they are set up. They look a little bored. lol Seems like a slow season for the area for them. If I get one I am planning on packing in ice and bringing it down to the valley. Going to take it to Von Hanson's close the the house.

I was up in 5BS until the past weekend. I had to come back to work. Talked the boss into letting me go out again tomorrow and Thursday. I will be out there trying to get my first ever animal. I did see a number of cows and handful of bulls. I am hoping they keep the same pattern. I got close the last day I was out there. Good luck to those still trying to bag one on the final days. 😁

I was getting bummed out because we didn't see a charge. Apparently there were some issues getting onto Cap one site. So all day I kept saying well at least I got a new bow coming in. Fast forward to late in the day and my buddy sends me a text that we are going hunting. Awesome so now I get a bow and I am going hunting. The downside is the delivery of my bow is delayed. I will take that over not getting drawn. Not sure what area but it's either 5BS or 6A excited either way. Congrats on others that got drawn and sorry for those that did not.

We might have a decent chance in 6A TopRut says 4-7 points for that area. Probably no chance for 5BS they say 8-11. Good luck everyone.

Dang that's a bummer. Yeah he's a good dude. Hopefully we get it and I don't drag him down.

We put in for 5BS and 6A and have 6 points. When you put in with two people on the card does it use the highest points from either person? I have 2 and my friend has 6.

I also have a trailer that I might be willing to sell with the Rhino. if anyone is needing one

Lifted 2007 Rhino 660. It was bored out to a 686. Runs really well. It includes brand new seats front and rear. The rear has a 4 point harness. I have a brand new in the box 4 point harness for the front two seats. It has a speaker unit, amp and full rear rollcage It is a 10 year old UTV but still going strong. It does have 7211 miles and 777 hours. I am not exactly sure when the engine work was done. It was done by the previous owner in a shop I took it up to 5B south about a dozen times and it did great in the higher altitude and the mud. No trades please. Asking $4,300 give me a call four 8 zero three 1 three seven 0 4 three I am in Gilbert, AZ Jonathan

Thanks for the tip. That does help because I found some other areas that are kind of what you are describing. There was a small grassy area wouldn't call it a meadow with these little yellow flowers all over it and quite a bit of droppings in that grassy area. At the east side base of the mountain were some pretty good sized pines right next to the grassy area. It seems they eat different things based on the location of the hunting unit. Do they eat the yellow flowers? They kind of look like a dandelion small and lower to the ground. I have a number of areas marked on the map. I plan to go out one more time before the hunt starts on the 28th to dial in the area I want to hunt. I know from elk hunting that you have to get out there and scout. I am assuming it is the same for turkeys couldn't imagine why it wouldn't be. I hunted this area as recently as last fall. So I am pretty familiar with the area already. BTW for anyone who might have a tag here there is some growth sprouting up from the burns last summer on Turkey Mountain. In the fall it was completely burnt with very little ground vegetation. Also sorry didn't mean to hijack the thread.

I was out in 5BS last weekend and did not hear or see any turkeys. This is my first time hunting turkey. I have only ever hunted elk. It is a lot different and I am learning so much. I did find high trees open up to a meadow and then up to a decent size plateau with all kinds of droppings and tracks. I am hoping that it is a good spot. I was told that is the type of landscape turkeys prefer.

Hit the card this morning. Got drawn for my first ever turkey hunt. Not sure what area yet but I put in for 5B and 27 as 1 and 2. This is going to be awesome.

This hunt ended up being a huge success without tagging out. My wife had a great time. She really enjoyed seeing the elk and tracking them. The wind changed on us at about 60 yards away and the elk ran off. I thought she would be bummed out but she was amazed how magnificent these creatures are and had an immediate respect for them. On the drive home she kept talking about how beautiful they are and asked a lot of questions about hunting them. She also really enjoyed just being outdoors with no electronic devices. It has taken me a long time to show her how awesome the outdoors can be. The best alternative ending to this hunt happened she wants to get on the card next year. She wants to try archery first. Now that surprised me I thought she would want to try rifle first. I tried to attach a picture but get a message that says "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community."
