What’s up guys it’s been a while since I’ve posted in here, I moved to Utah recently and they have changed the regs to where cougar/mountain lion hunting is open all year no quota. You also can trap them. Me and my wife were shed hunting and on one small hill and found about 30-40 mule deer and elk carcasses(most being tiny bucks) The next week we were shed hunting again and saw a lion about 300 yards away. It’s in a pretty rocky steep section. We were planning on calling for lions, but recently I’ve wondered about trapping for them instead. My thoughts are maybe looking around for a fresh kill and placing a couple traps nearby. I know it would take tons of luck, but just wondered if anyone has had experience with it? Arizonas trapping is so limited I never even thought about doing it, but now it’s basically free range year round here I want to try. Thanks a ton.

Hey y’all, I want to go duck hunting I’ve got the gun ammo and decoys, but I was wondering if you where allowed to hunt ducks on the lower salt river. Any tips on duck hunting in Az would be nice too thanks!

I drove the whole 300 road from showlow to Heber in October last year and saw probably 4 bucks around 150 and probably 15 bucks under that. And that was just on the road. With a little glassing up in some of the canyons by heber a good quality buck could be found for sure.

So I know you can shoot carp and cats with a bow. I was wondering if anyone knows if it’s legal to bowfish in the srp canals. I know you can’t shoot grass carp but common carp are fair game. I wasn’t sure if there were laws regulating bow fishing those canals. They go by houses too so I wasn’t sure if I had to follow the 1/4 mile that hunters do with bows. Any info would help thanks.

Yeah fs I might call and find out

Srp canals are legal to fish for sure. Those are probably Roosevelt water. I just don’t know if bow fishing is legal

You still have this??

Me and my friend Denton put in work these last couple weekends. We saw over 20 bucks the first weekend but no real big one. Yesterday we had this 2 point come in to 50 yards and Denton smoked him. We quartered him out and got back to the blind. We sat for 20 minutes and then had a bigger 3 point coues come in. He smelled something and busted. I unfortunately didn’t get a shot at any decent deer but I still have December. It was still fun hunting and getting this buck. IMG_0655.MOV IMG_0661.MOV

So I bought the razor 10x42s. Today. This isn’t my last pair of glass so I’ll give you sometime.

So I’ve been using the classic vortex crossfire 12x50s for the last few years and I wanna upgrade. I want new vortex razor hds before shed season and the spring hunts. I can buy 10x42s now so I’ll have them in time but I don’t wanna be missing out on the extra 2 power I’ve had. Am I gonna be losing a lot going from the 12x50 crossfire to a razor 10x42? I just don’t wanna regret buying them. I really like the edge clarity and low light glassing compared to my crossfires but will I miss the extra 2x? What do y’all run as far as chest glass? Like if yall could only have one pair is it gonna be 10s or 12s?

After grinding for 3 days I finally found some otc metro javelina. Made a perfect shot at 38 yards and it ran 10 feet and dropped. IMG_1824.MOV

Way more than I saw last year. At least 20 pigs running around.

Got a turkey. Saw 12 solid bucks and tons of does. Fun week. No bears though.

Thanks! Dang. We chased bears the rest of the week but didn’t find any.

No we wasn’t full of water surprisingly. It was his first archery deer. He’s killed a 90” coues and a few smaller ones.

Nope. We got it quartered in 45 min. Then packed it out in one trip

Yeah his ears were massive. But he weighed less than a hundred pounds.

This is the full video of the hunt.

No it was was a coues.

No. My friend made a follow up shot and he swam to the middle where he died. He floated over when we pulled him out.

I pulled the trigger and bought the new Mathews VXR 28. Got it today and I’m gettin ready for August. Took a lot of work, shoveling gravel and laying brick to get enough money for this bow. Hopefully I can get a buck in velvet this year.

Thanks. Me and my buddy had over 20 different spikes and 2 points come into water on Saturday. I drew on the biggest of the day but didn’t take the shot. I’m hoping I’ll be able to score a bigger buck.

So I found a few quality mule deer bucks I’m Gonna go after with my bow. My only concern is it’s about a 2.5 mile hike In through rough rough country. If I do harvest a buck I’d probably end up having to take 2 trips to get it back to my car. If I left meat in game bags in the shade how fast would the meat go bad? I don’t want to waste any. I’m going solo cause I can only go after school certain days. And I’m not even sure what days I can go. I can probably get all the meat out in 2 trips but it would take a while.

The sheep I glassed up were pretty cool. IMG_0535.MOV

I couldn’t find the buck I was after. The rain messed up the deer. They haven’t hit water this whole week. I only glassed a spike some rams and some javelina.
