Are you saying mule deer are easy?if you are I am in need of lessons because I get my butt handed to me hunting desert muleys

23. I let bulls walk in that unit just because of where they were. Packed one solo out of a canyon with thigh high snow drifts. Swore I would never hunt elk again. Better get in shape and eat your Wheaties.

I could never master back tension in a hunting situation but used one 75% of the time practicing. I had the yips so bad I could invent ways to punch the trigger. Back tension pretty much cured me of that. It carried over into hunting. I used an HME T handle with an index finger button. It could be shot similar to a hinge.

Saw 3 big bunches of does yesterday. Only one buck. With 6 bonus points he wasn’t big enough to sit out the year.

I have been hunting one of my favorite spots the last 3 days without seeing a deer and scarcely any sign. Dog tracks everywhere. Yesterday I glassed them up. A pack of 5 domestic dogs roaming the desert. I am thinking they have pushed the deer out. Time to move on I guess.

Lots of good advice. I went through the same thing. What helped me the most was what NOTAGS said. Once you decide to shoot don’t look at the antlers again. Pick a spot and concentrate on that spot only. And practice. If you’re getting close but missing you’re prime to wound an animal and lose it. That’s one of the worst feelings in the world.

10% cap on Non-Resident sales of OTC archery deer tags Is it sales or take? I was led to understand it was take. If that is the case residency must be stated at the time of report. If it is sales is there another way other than a draw based on previous year OTC sales to limit NR hunters to 10%?

I walked up on a guzzler yesterday that usually has numerous cams on it. Not a single one. I thought it was kinda cool.

Looking good! thank God 2021 is over! Maybe tied for the worse year of my life. Looking forward to better days!

With this rain coming in tonight and tomorrow if you don’t find him today odds are pretty stacked against you

That’s not a good sign if your luck is like mine

Glassed up a good buck yesterday but he was bedded halfway up a very big mountain and a mile off. I thought about if for a while and decided that someone else needed him more than I. He was totally alone

Been out several times but have seen only does with little guys. Rut typically doesn't get rolling good in the areas I hunt until around the 10th of January.

Got a pair of Zeiss Victories for sale $1300. Nearly new condition

1.5 at my house in Tonopah, the armpit of Arizona.

Will consider trades for a semi auto 12 gauge or O/U in good condition plus cash if needed.

Not funny but going back to the old AZOD board, my dad drew a late unit 9 elk tag. I mentioned it and that he had cancer and his hunting days were short. Delw privately contacted me and told me where to hunt and what to expect. I had not been asking for help but he stepped up and gave me some great info. That's what kind of guy he was. I miss his sarcasm and no BS attitude.

I understand that. Why this case is interesting is if it gets to the Supreme Court which is unlikely but a possibility it would have ramifications for all states. If I could find it I read an article a few years back about corner crossing in Arizona. I think it was considered trespassing. What was argued is you have to pass over private. I think it’s stupid
