BELLOTABUCKS

The town of Oracle is Whitetail elevation even down low by the Biosphere2 there are Coues just lots of private land. Remember Coues are half the size of eastern deer unless you stopped, sat, and glued binos to your face you probably passed deer all day. Dropping down the ridge a climbing up the next is a hike 75% of hunters aren't willing to make but the 25% that do kill big deer not just in that area but in general. That area has always produced great bucks and will continue to do so and so does the gap. Ok , that's about all I can say on here before I have guides and outfitters making newbie pages just to pm me nasty messages demanding I ask admin to remove post haha.

Buddy of mine received 2 tags in the mail. Same tag number, 118 for his particular hunt. He called G&F to inquire and was told 300 duplicate tags were mailed on accident. Here's hoping ethical hunters do the right thing and toss the extra tag. My partner is going to hang onto the extra up until the hunt just incase he misplaces one so he doesn't have to buy a duplicate which has happened to him before but will then destroy his extra. What a slip up!

Went back to last years posts, April 2nd around 10am is when they put them up.

I'd say the one is based on that criteria, rings around eyes and nose, the ears are considerably smaller than the other deer.

Love the symmetry, super nice buck!

2 on left were in 37A 1 on right was in 37B

My buddy found this set ten paces from one another 37a, lots of birds again too!

Thanks all! And yes we did get into the coveys seems like a decent year!

LOL. Unit 27 for me. I am psycho, and I hunt there. Love it! Awesome country!

33 is hunted a lot but its a large unit many areas don't see pressure, since the fires the deer numbers have increased. PLENTY of areas to hunt alone. Speaking of nutrient rich burn areas it might payoff to hunt 29, large range with good access. My focal points would be 33, 32, 31, 29, and 27 in the insane steep nasty stuff only psychos hunt in. Hunt like it's your last Jan-March and Oct-Dec. Best of luck to all involved! Shoot straight!

Thank you guys

Anyone have a links to rainfall info? Or anyone know how the Galiuros faired this monsoon?

SWEET BUCK! Southern az is some of the most beautiful country any where

Saw this guy with his gals off of harrison rd

The area i hunt is locked when its not season and its too hot for me personally to walk in the extra couple miles. I have hunted the same area for 5 years in a row, some times i see the same deer sometimes a new guy shows up. 4 of the last 5 seasons i filled my tag by day 3 and always could have on day 1. I do get out to shed hunt and locate deer year round just not where i hunt. I have been fortunate for sure, but i believe if you find a water source that is more than a mile from anything you are in a good spot.

That is amazing work it's unbelievable.

a dukie askin for help in wildcat country? kidding bud welcome. some good scaled quail shooting in ur area.

112 3/8

called the hotline....nada, says results are not out, used the link provided early in the post getting the same error when i enter my soc.

Used to chase a buck very similar on the back road between oracle and san manuel, any chance thats him?

saw a non typical freak on a rifle bull hunt, it was 15 years ago, but wow! that was the only deer we saw in a week. near diablo canyon.

My family has been hunting 7e for the past ten years with either my pop and i or my cousin and uncle getting drawn with the exception of 1 year, taking 7 bulls. This last late rifle hunt was by far the worst season i experienced there. Saw very few elk, dead or alive. There was an early snow that knocked a bunch down low. Hiked halos around the hawkdurfers, hiked in knee deep snow to some high and hidden meadws above bismark lake, the other hills further north with the radio tower was the only place we saw a bull that was day 1 and that hill emptied out that night. love the unit, had em figured out and then it was obvious things have changed there

My cousin glassed up a mule deer and it was licking the ground walking a tight circle licking away, then the deer layed down and kept licking the ground at it's side. After about a half hour a cow elk showed up and chased the deer off and started licking the same spot. A few minutes later an elk calf stood up and walked off with his momma. Seems like the deer was caring for the elk calf in the cows absence.

37A is an any antlered tag, news to me.
