just pulled my camera out fo unit 22 did have one picture of a bear.looks to be about 2' away. never had any problems with bears but 2 different times had my film taken, luckly they could not get the camera off the tree..mike

there was 2 does in 20 b also. we have seen them 3 times as a group over the last 6 years. mike

just letting you all know their is a wcc meeting at 6:00pm at the game and fish on greenway.tuesday the 30th.there should be some hot topics @ we need everybody's input with all the proposed changes coming since we lost our 10 % cap. the only way we as a group can change this thing is let our voices be heard.... mike

hey newbe did you get my return e mail? mike

traveler. what unit are you in 22? try around the new burn.alot of new growth that is bringing the deer back in their . get on the north east slopes @ glass back to the burn you will be suprized at the # of deer you will see.glass.glass.glass..once on the mountain you should not move more then 100 yards the whole day.the deer will just materailze all around you. mike

we were scouting 36b for our dec tag.saw 80 % of deer before 9:00am. the bucks were all singles.we did not see any other hunters in our area.dont think this area gets much hunting pressure. did glass a few does in their beds midday.with the cold front on the early oct hunt made a huge difference,the success rate shot way over the norm.the trick to this nov. hunt is to spend allot of time behind the glass @ let them do the walking for you. mike

been scouting for my dec. tag been seeing on average 25 deer aday.seems to be 7 does for every buck. what are you all finding.most are 1 to 2 miles away while glassing.By 8:00am hard to locate deer all are bedded. have on average found 5 deer in their beds during the lull time mike

yes their is deer in 42 lots of them try east of pima @ your sure to do well. cave creek closed 2 years ago due to a hunter killing a 4x4 in some persons yard. remember before you shoot know the area so this kind of thing does not happen again becouse cave creek has just as many deer as any were in the state @ now we can not hunt it. mike

I was at the wcc meeting last week at the game @ fish. the price increase is for over the next 10 years@ is not in stone yet.you all should take all this voice @ frustration to one of these meeting.were lucky to get 15 guys at one of these meeting. you can talk to most of the g@f guys directly becouse this is part of what the meeting is for.also you have the elk,deer,az.bow hunters,desert christian archers,antelope,sheep,houndsmens,walleye and other assosiation all their trying to keep tabs on the game and fish.The only way we as a group are going to turn this thing around is to flood these meeting @ let them know us az hunters are tired of the way thing are.I challenge everbody on this site to go out and make these meetings and let our voices be heard good or bad. mike

I've hunted 5a for over 20 years their is ton of elk.try off the 95 road past east clear creek. take the fork north to the 300 road. you should do good in between that area. I've seen a # of 320 to 350 class bull in thier. mike

hey hicap48.you can never have to many eyes glassing. we have 3 tags in dec. I'm bringing up a first timer with us. If your down their I'll look you up. I drive a f150 98 lifted green 4x4 with bow hunting stickers all over it. were going to be about 6 to 8 miles past pena blanka off the ruby. mike

we'll be there two. we have 3 dec 36b tag. should be a great hunt remember scout,glass,scout, glass some more. the deer wont be far from were you find them. the old saying goes how much time you put into it is what you get out of it. you dont want to be scouting the day before the opener.. mike

In my experience, those cool little coues deer like the more dence type of vegitation.my good buddy hunted 7 days dark to dark had over 30+ deer come in 1/3 were bucks.none over 95".We have taken allot bucks up to 85"so he was looking for something nice. All from one tank this year @ it has a lot of cover @ remember It does not matter what kind of tank it is. The trick is to dedicate yourself to it if the deer are hitting it.bowsniper like you did when you took that tom turkey this year. mike

is deer creek in 6a ?? I did loose a pair 3 years ago in 6 south after we were chasing a toad and went to rangefind him and they were gone...mike

the pics are coming they are still up their. they just took an other bull that should go 338 its a 5 x 5 .If you go to desertchristianarchers.org the pictures should be up on wednesday am. That is the bull that your friend saw. we had a few people put the tape on it again green is around 403 to 412. when it is that big it's tough. mike
