well you know what i mean. seems like everyone shoots the spyder or carbon element.

didnt see any for sale, any of you guys aware of someone looking to sell a good left handed bow by any chance?

no, was just looking for someone who had a couple year old bow who maybe wanted to upgrade. im on harder times thats why i was looking used.

well i ended up just ordering a new hoyt charger. i know theyre just cheap bows but its all about the indian flinging the arrow right? i saw the other one that just got listed for sale but i wanted to get a black one with 70lb limbs. the 70lb draw feels like 50lbs, really smooth.

I think he meant.... Hoyt ! (LOL, I had to do that) X-Force is very nice! haha, after i read that the X-force was high line for PSE i was thinking man that guy probably thinks im making a messed up joke about PSE quality lol

ya was hoping to find used from someone that was looking to upgrade to a brand new model or something. but it might come to that, im very interested in the X-force but im reading mixed reviews on it and PSE. whatever i get now ill probably keep for life. my bowtech was stolen or id still be shooting it, i loved it. thanks a lot guys

oh it is? lol. i must have looked up the wrong one.

thanks, i will look into those. i was hoping to get something higher end really, but maybe i dont need high end

i got pulled with 4 points

no i never heard anything else about it. was a shame.

im not sure what his bases were off the top of my head. i believe they were 15's, but i dont recall. thanks, it was a crazy hunt. spent 9 days there, saw 70 rams, had our entire camp stolen, i'll never forget that hunt.

got hit, first choice was unit 1 early bull rifle. 2nd choice was archery.

awesome report. i hunted 15b west back in 2000, had a blast. that ram looks bigger than 153. edit: here is a low quality picture. AZGFD scored it at 162 aged 12 years (srs)

Giant!

do you guys that shoot weatherby know where to go for the best price on shells? i always just go to sportmans or bass pro, any place else to check?

are coots even legal? ive never heard of someone shooting them before

let me start by saying that i lurk on here quite a bit and have a lot of respect for you guys that go out and shoot these grey ghosts whether its a dink or a trophy because they are not easy. im fairly new to hunting coues and man are they some tricky animals. i have a question for you guys though, what do you think the buck to doe ratio is down there? in 4 days we never saw less than 25 deer a day and one day we saw 40. and im guessing we double counted some of them so maybe the invididual count is lower than that. but out of approximently 120 deer we saw 4 confirmed bucks. 2 spikes, one small 3x3 and about an 80 class 3x3. so my count is like 30 to 1? glassed up far more illegals than we did bucks. its an awesome place id love to go back, amazing what a little grass and water can do for a deer population.

i would of said "hey bung hole. what the *&^%$%^ was that!?"

ya i looked for tracks, but they had probably already been trampled on by illegals. we called coyotes during the middle of the day, only called one. glassed up coati as well. might even go down to check the archery hunt. heard there is good mule deer in that unit as well, but we didnt see any.

wow, those are some bigguns. being that i only have 8 bonus points for the strip i'll probably be back next year to give it a try. beautiful country

There has been an average tag increase of general hunts in 36b of 6 - 13 % of the tags depending on the year in comparison to 2007 that consisted of 2 early and Dec hunts ( this year 2012 is about 6%) the average buck harvest has seen an increase of 16 - 31% ( all greater than the total tag increases) with 2009 and 2010 being the best years... yet the majority of hunts through the 3 hunt change remained around 20% meaning all hunts are producing bucks... Does it suck that there are a lot fewer Dec. tags ... I bet that would depend on if you are the guy holding the tag ... if there were still two early hunts with over 1k hunters each like 2007 or 200 Dec tags , those hunters,who are unsuccessful, would complain and still blame G&F ... It is true that in many units the pushing together of junior hunts, Whitetail, and general mule deer hunts creates a lot of pressure and it would be nice to see a bit fewer tags and some interval between hunts, but 36b is a big unit that I have scouted and hunted a good deal of over the last 6 years and during each hunt time and bucks and opportunities were available on all of them. So please share how G&F has limited opportunity in a unit that has seen significant % increases in harvest beyond the % increase of tags since 2007 If your seeing large herds of does down there you need to be looking at the surrounding ranges, the bigger drainages, and the litter thicker stuff and those bachelor herds are around( not right on top of but...) I have seen them in the early, mid and late Nov hunts... sometimes they get broken up for a spell but they seem to get back together Being born and raised in AZ I would love to have it how my grandfather and dad did when I was a kid, but blaming G&F for everything including lack of success is a fracking sell out and in my opinion becoming way to common and getting very old on this site. is the quality of deer that youve seen stayed the same or better now? im not blaming game and fish, ive never set foot in 36b in my life till sunday morning. however 2400 tags seems like a lot for one unit. another question for you since you sound knowledgeable on the subject, if there was 800 tags for the november 9 hunt, how come the tag i got is number 856?

a few? thats insane. i saw the one over there on basszone. but more over 200? holy cow

tell me about it. thats what i kept telling my dad. its a dang shame, appears they use it as a cash cow. never have maintain anything it doesnt look like, didnt see one AZGFD truck down. i would think the genetics are going down hill, are they not? have you guys that hunt there often noticed a decline in quality?

that wasnt us, i talked to those dudes last night and they hadnt got one. we didnt get one, saw a ton of deer but only 1 decent buck that got up in front of me and ran off before i could shoot. we did see a small buck over there that could have been a 2x3 was hard to tell, but this one wasnt injured. watched a dude whack a spike right down there also on monday.

crew cab silverado, you probably saw it parked right before the turn around there on 39a. we were on the hill glassing
