I see a few UFOs as well.

I was looking at the open OTC units and saw that there have been 0 KOFA harvests this year. I wonder if it will stay that way or not. Seeing the harvest reports is pretty interesting and I am glad we're moving in the direction of better tracking.
-
I just realized I have 10 for deer and 8 for elk. That certainly changes things. Seems like were in motion for a good water year though...
-
Yeah. Even late august. I had to move camp during OTC deer season one time because the elk were talking too much. Never thought I would say that lol.
-
I'm betting there will be a TON of creep this year on the archery hunts with the later hunt dates. What are your guys thoughts?
-
Point creep is real.... Looks like I'll be waiting another year or moving down in unit quality. Decisions decisions.
-
Early elk is addicting for sure. I wonder how many have voted the same way, early just because they love the hunt experience, not for antler size.
-
Thanks! Archery or late rifle? I've heard late on the 8 is a tough hunt.
-
27 late or 5bs early are the tags I am looking at. I've hunted 5bs archery before so there is an advantage to that.

Well, I am at 10 points and am looking to draw. Its been a lifelong goal to get a 300" bull. What would you guys say gives me a better chance at one? Early archery or late rifle? I am proficient with both weapons and can take the full archery season to hunt but dont want to wait a whole lot longer to draw. Tag soup is OK, I just want a chance, not a guarantee.
-
Interesting, good to know. I like bow hunting so I wonder if that may be a better option for a guy without dogs.
-
Have you specifically hunted them in both seasons?
-
Why does it seem like everyone talks about how hard spring bear hunting is? Like its harder than fall. Is that true in AZ? Is it just AZ bear hunting is rough no matter how you slice it? From what I have gathered, in other states, hunters greatly prefer spring hunting when targeting bears. A lot of the fall kills are when a guy bumps into a bear and has a bear tag in his pocket while hunting deer/elk.

How bad is the southeast getting? (hunting pressure)

Thanks for the reply. I was looking at units 28-30. I imagine most of the people coming from the midwest or east will stop there or close. Its tough because I'll invest years into a spot and don't want it getting crushed by the pressure. Luckily the 40's are still very low pressure. However, there are not a lot of deer and that gets old haha.
