Unit 27 is recommended by G&F for a complete closure of OTC deer hunting and to become a draw-only unit. For those not paying attention to what G&F is doing, they are recommending the closure of tons of December and January OTC hunts for this year, and will likely continue to close more and more OTC deer hunts each year until the OTC deer hunt opportunity is largely gone in Arizona unless hunters voice their concerns this week.

As was said, they water any time of day. They also don't necessarily water every day or in the same place, so sitting water requires days of patience. This time of year, you're probably better off hunting them by calling or locating them by their calls.

I'm not sure what you classify as an "insane" amount of tracks, but I've often found that extremely high numbers of "deer" tracks in an area eventually turns out to be domestic sheep (especially when all the old tracks were probably washed-away a couple of weeks ago by rain). A number of times in unit 6B, 8, 10, 21 and others, I thought I'd found great deer areas, only to run into a big heard of domestic sheep within a day or two...

You forgot to post the rules that were included with the code, such as "Code can be shared but DO NOT post on social media or on forums"...

Phillips Ranch?

I believe they rotate which unit(s) have the rifle or muzzy hunt before the archery hunt each year.

Awesome ram! Thanks for coming back to update us on the results of your hunt.

I too had no idea there was a hunt in AZ where an adult could kill a doe, and also that there was such a hunt open in December.

Great looking ram, congratulations!

Absolutely awesome! Congratulations Taylor!!

That's a great bear, congratulations!

Bowhunting in Arizona - Facebook Page Lots of big bucks taken with bows this year. The Facebook Page for Bowhunting in Arizona is the best place to look to see what large bucks were taken with a bow in Arizona this year. Scroll past all the huge bulls and you will get to the bucks!

That's one of the most informative summaries I've seen written on the G&F website. Kudos to the wildlife manager that wrote it.

Congratulations! That's a great first buck.

Delw, What makes you think that's a (peg) leg hanging down from that skirt?

What would have been wrong with UAZ? It would have rolled off the tongue better than UArizona.

If they live in an area with snow, they obviously have to be somewhere in the snow. However, like most animals, they will seek out the warmest area within the habitat in which they live, which is usually the areas the sun it hitting.

There's a train ride from Williams to the Grand Canyon. During the winter in the snow, that might be nice.

Good info 654321.

Javelina are not fans of cold weather, so they can often be seen on the slope the sun is hitting in order to stay warm.

A couple of years ago AZ G&F took away a guys hunting license for five years because he left one item of litter in his camp after leaving (while on a hunting trip). I've seen them revoke licenses several times for very minor infractions. Not trying to get you overly worried, but once your civil case is over, you could still be at the mercy of the G&F commission for anything they want to do to you, including more fines, requiring you to take or retake the firearms safety class and potential license revocation for up to five years. You may not need a lawyer for the infraction in civil court, but if it then gets called before the Commission I would consider an attorney.

I like to use different cards for each person's application (if apply separately), so that I immediately know who was drawn when the credit card is hit. It also provides less of a chance that the credit card will have multiple charges of the same amount and trigger a fraud alert with the bank that way. When my Chase card questions a charge (via text), I can say it is legit and the transaction completes without a problem. When my Citi (Double Cash) credit card questions a charge (also via text), it is too late. Whether I say it is a legit charge or not, they have already rejected the charge with no opportunity to re-run it. That policy makes me VERY uneasy about using it for G&F apps. I've also tried calling Citi in advance to pre-approve charges from AZGFD, but they said they can't do that unless they are for a very large amount of money (I don't recall how much, but something like $1,000 or more as I recall).
