    Quartering towards....rifle

    my only response - he stated the cat got back up and ran away on 3 legs - if he in fact hit that lion on either dot red or blk. there is no way that the lion got back up and ran off on 3 legs, after taking a hit from 150 grain .270 I'm no expert but I've shot and killed enough animals with various calipers at all kinds of distances including a called in lion at a very similar situation with a 150 grain .308 , results dead cat didn't go anywhere

    4B north population hunt

    Do not expect an easy tag filling hunt- most these hunts have elk that are really pressured, especially if there were 16 hunters a weeks before yours. they are usually a very limited boundary type hunt- never the whole unit! the time I drew a pool tag - didn't even see an elk

    Southern AZ Weather Expectations

    #1 DO NOT RELY ON WEATHER CASTS !!! #2 January on an MTN in southern Arizona , weather conditions can change several times a day- hunting the east slopes and you'll not even see it coming till u get hit, when weather turns bad, I've camped in the catalinas seveal times just n. of Tucson in January night times can easily be below freezing not counting windchill factors #3 The main thing to not do -is packin to far - thinking of going the extra mile to get away., can get you in serious troubles. I'm not sure how much hunting you've done where your from or if you have experience in high desert terrain - let along mountain hunts. what shows 1 or 2 miles on google earth - looks simple - easy in can be steep, treacherous even inaccessible from on the ground. #4 what I think is the most important - staying hydrated - most think its not hot summer weather I can get by without extra water - bring something to filter water ! Carring water at 8lbs a gallon usually isn't a lot of fun . easpecially if u need extra for campimg- cooking. I have no doubts your a capable hiker -camper - hunter etc. do not forget gps I even get those extra phone battery rechargers -they'll recharge your phone several times if needed . #5 think about when you are successful. getting any animal off a mtn and back to your camp or vehicle can take several days depending on terrain and location too! It's not like dragging a deer thru the woods back to your truck. -how you gonna keep, it from spoiling - your packed in 3 miles - no ice chest . #6 Camping close to someone and communicating your plans for hunting has its advantages too! #7 last but should actually be #1 best bino's you can afford 12x minimum Good Luck Enjoy your trip and your hunting experience here in Arizona. One can never over think a trip or preparations. even asking if others here maybe hunting in the area!

    Hunts for Hero's unit 8

    looks to be one of the best late season in quite a while-- as far as weather- , no snow !!! if that holds true and temps are clear sky's the mid 50's - finding elk shouldn't be a problem. my favorite is along sycamore on the s/e side or along the powerline on the north / west side JD tank should be good too! hopefully after Thankgiving you can get up there and spend some time scouting where you plan on setting up camp!?

    Leftovers

    yes mail ins can take a few days ! after they are done- leftovers over the counter next - yes you have to wait till the 8th no one is in first - the mail from Saturday - Monday are all put in the same pile - some people from flag may mail on Thursday - I don't know but if it gets there Friday - they won't put it in with the apps. pile want to really get confused - callem up!

    Leftovers

    the first round of leftovers is -- mail in only - they open them starting monday morning on the 27th- so most people will drop apps in mail Friday or Saturday - if you mail too early they are not accepted. after all the mail ins are over and they have any tags left - they will be available over the counter the mail in draw takes 1-2 days with posted results to follow from what I understand - they get the bag of apps dump them on a table and start picking anyone they like no order if they got mailed first postmarking s whatever

    29 mule deer?

    get on google earth and find the nearby stock tanks to the south. I don't know if you can drive the stateline road anymore but late evenings look for crossing deer from NM
