high rise hunter

The later rifle dates take effect this coming season (2020). I would error on the opposite side expecting a traditionally 6 point hunt to take 7 this time around.

You can have fantastic deer hunts in CO with 1 point! Any of those units along the continental divide hold big bucks.

I just got a few salts established. I order this shovel from Amazon. It's cheap, poor quality but light weight and got the job done. $8 well spent. Folding Shovel

Was out Saturday morning in the desert and the mules were rutting hard. Lots of lip curling and running does hard. Headed south in the AM for one last (two-day) hurrah after Coues deer 🤞

Congrats! Awesome story and thanks for sharing!

How did your hunt go @Speedy? It was tough this year with an early rut. Saw some good bucks, not much for rut action and of course once again wasn't able to connect. 🙄 Not down and out yet, now that I live in this favorite state of mine I still have lots of opportunity in 2020 to make it happen! GPG! I'm stressing like crazy for this afternoon showdown.

This bums me out. I FINALLY bagged my first AZ ducks of the season this week. Only took me 3 months 🙄

That blonde is a beaut! Never hunted bears before but excited to have the excuse to get out with bow in hand, explore some new country, run some cams, maybe even pick up a shed or two. 😜

What a beautiful bird! I'm sure that one made a trip to the taxidermist

Wow that is freakin' RAD! Awesome find. Has anyone seen Coues with white patches on their sides or in unusual places? (Maybe considered piebalds??)

Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to your next videos. 😀

Robot - you forgot to subtract the application/bonus point fee. ($13 for your son's resident app and $15 for your non-resident) $115+38-15-13=$125 Javi tag here myself!

Newly translated in AZ I went out (Lake Pleasant) for opener; didn't see a single duck. Not to let that spoil a perfect day, I found this beautiful fox and knocked a few quail down.

Does anyone know if game processors will "rent" temporary freezer space? I'm in a unique situation where I'm between places (moving from Pasadena, CA --> Scottsdale, AZ) and doing back-to-back archery hunts first in NV for mule deer then over to NM for elk. If I'm fortune enough to fill my tag in NV I need to find a temporary place to store/freeze meat. I much prefer to do my own processing.

Awesome, will do and thank you PRDATR. If this is the same group of butchers from Minnesota, they're fantastic.

Super cool! Congratulations and thanks for sharing!

Good listen w/Jay Scott and Dwayne on the story of this amazing buck.

Congrats bud! Every time I see that picture or re-live that stalk my heart gets racing. Gosh that was awesome!!

Deer will certainly run up and down the gullies using them almost as a road system. You'll have to do further scouting to really pinpoint the best ambush areas. Sounds like you're getting close though!

Congratulations to your son and you as well! It's a fantastic experience. My little brother won a few years back. Both he and my old man had nothing but rave reviews about the experience from start to finish. Enjoy!

It's only October but most of my hunts (excluding an early November midwest whitetail trip) have wrapped for the autumn season. And good gracious does that make me excited to get back to AZ in January! I usually hunt solo (and often prefer to) but this year I'm going with a couple of buddies which will be a welcoming change of pace. Moving further north this go-around we'll be hunting Unit 22 for coues and hopefully pulling some javelina tags to boot. (FYI draw deadline is NOW). I live significantly closer to AZ now so I'm contemplating a December trip since I still have my tag in pocket from last January. Planning to bomb around the western desert for a few days looking for a muley to fill the freezer. Anyways, just excited and looking forward to some fun success stories on the forum. '

Haha! Stuck up in the tree! Thanks for sharing. Almost need to shoot expecting them to jump the string.

Mid January is when I'll be hunting as well. Last year I was there a week earlier and felt that the rutting action got better later in the hunt. Speedy, last season didn't you let an arrow loose from the recurve on a coues buck, if I recall correctly?

It's a DARN good feeling to put that physical tag in pocket! As a NR I'm relying on drawing that Turkey Supertag. 😉 Loading up this year!

One can only dream... Congrats on drawing an awesome tag!
