I hunted the unit mentioned opening day to Sunday evening. We were seeing bulls everyday. Majority of them were spikes and and a few that were slightly larger. All were spotted by getting to higher vantage points and glassing. Hitting up the unit today, as I took a break yesterday.

Seen some in 5B today as well. Opening day tomorrow.

Be out on opening bull day during black friday.

I'll be up in 5B as well. We've got the Hopi hunt tags. We filled our Hopi deer hunt tags opening day last week. Next up is the elk.

Pillow cases.

Been hunting pronghorn in the Hopi 5A ranch area. Seen 3 big herds of elk. Some nice bulls 8n with the herds. This is in the low lands.

That is correct. I'm a Hopi tribal member and drew a Pronghorn tag for 5a, which starts tomorrow. The tribe will ask for Name, Address, Telephone Number Driver’s license number Vehicle: Make, model, year, color, license plate number Hunt # Tag # Scout Date Hunt Date Names and birthdates of individuals traveling with you. List additional vehicles you will be taking. Once they receive the info they will issue you a acces card with the gate code. They are pretty quick about responding.

I smell Jimmy Johns.

Mine just says tag number 6.

Or the ones that say mint or 100%, but than say slight blemish, scratch or ding. If they are indeed mint, doesn't that mean their should be no imperfections at all?

Hey Nashdoitsoh naalzheehi, from the looks of the name I'm guessing your a Navajo. Typical.

Nope. Im a Hopi tribal member. Still have to get lucky. My buddy is also a tribal member, He's been putting in for 5years straight for a pronghorn tag and still hasn't been able to draw one.

3rd tag in 5 years for pronghorn, 6th tag in 6 years for Bull elk!

I used Sig 120grain elite hunting solid copper. I know it wasn't subsonic, but the buck dropped. I have a 8in Wilson Combat barrel.

I just took a 2x1 buck Saturday using a 300 blackout suppressed SBR at 80yds.

Next week. Hopi hunt tag.

I'm at 215 days.

Location please.

Just to add. The hopi hunts are a slower draw, because AZGFD has to verify an applicant with the tribe. Their has been instances when non tribal members have gotten the Hopi Hunt numbers and tried to apply using those.

Id Say do away with bonus points. All its doing is causing a conundrum. Just have a simple draw. Your either drawn or your not. People get so carried away focusing on their points, rather than hunting it seems. Plus a lot of people complain that more and more people are applying, yet multiple people apply in multiple states and draw multiple tags. Talk about the quality of animals dropping. How many deer, elk, sheep, etc does a person need to kill per year. That's just my 2 sense. On the other hand my card hasn't been hit either, and that's with a Tribal member hunt in 5ab. Oh well. Try again next year.

Glad that I don't have to pay taxes when I buy a vehicle.

If one of these are still available by the end of the month. I may pick one up. Exactly what I've been looking for.

I took my Rem 700 7 Mag to Phoenix Custom for a upgraded bolt know and barrel threading. Will see how it goes. I tried contacting Axisworks but never got a response.

I have had good luck with barnes ttsx and nosler etips.

I once hit a doe instead of the buck. I self reported, met up with G&F who did the same thing, written warning and confiscation of the deer. The only downside was that I was in an area where there was a lake nearby. Since my hunt was over I decided to due some trout fishing. Lo and behold about an hour later I see the same GF Ranger checking fishing licenses. The deer I had shot about 2 hours before was still rolling around in the back of his vehicle. It was fairly warm that day so I questioned myself, does the meat actually make it to a donation/processing place or?
