checked the mail this morning and my leftover tag was there. weird thing is that I got permit number 403 out of 400. what's up with that? maybe had to issue more if credit cards got declined?? its hunt number 1139.

Thanks for the tip jw. Stanley we will definitely new to keep in touch. Good luck on the jr hunt.

I'm having a hard time finding topo maps of this unit. Anyone know what website might have them? I like going old school and having the paper map out on a table to mark up and look at.

Awesome! That's some pretty country

I've got the 10x42 diamondbacks and they are really good, probably the best in its price range. I would however suggest the viper HD's 10x42 if you can swing it. Whatever you go with make sure it's vortex. There is another topic going right now about their customer service.

Just curious what app do you use?

I'm planning on camping near arivaca if anyone wants to join up and share a camp fire. Just thought it might be a little safer than being solo. I've never been down there before. Pm me if anyone's interested.

Yeah let me know what you guys find coueshunterAZ.

So with the cards not really getting charged anymore my hopes of my Kaibab tag are slipping away...again. I decided a few years back while accompanying my dad on his late Kaibab hunt that I am going to wait however long it takes to have that tag for my own someday. Well after not hunting with a rifle in a while I'm starting to lose patience. So I come up with the plan that I'm sure a lot of you also have and that is to put in for the primo Kaibab tag every year and if unsuccessful in the draw, pick up a leftover tag and ill hunt every year. Problem is my experience hunting in this state is in the central units close to where I've grown up. These are units 20c and 42.(mule deer country). Although I have never taken a coues deer I call myself a member of this site because I find it to be the best group of hunters on the web regardless of the species. So I look forward to learning how to kill these elusive animals down in the southern units and I welcome any advice that comes my way.

Well...I got one!! I'm pretty excited. My first attempt was at the 44 tags that remained for unit 32. when I didnt get one of those I had basically given up but somebody talked me into putting in for a 36A late november tag. there was only 23 tags left as of yesterday and I sent the envelope yesterday morning. I called today and I got one. Based on what Ive heard on here about this unit its not going to be the best hunt but I'm still just happy to be hunting. I don't exactly know where to go but it looks like there are 3 big mountain ranges to choose from. My main concern is the illegal activity that goes on down there. Just happy to be hunting again even though its just a leftover. who knows, maybe Ill really like this unit and then I could do this every year.

sweet glass and a good price!! love mine

So when do we know if we got one? should we just call and ask or what?? Its like we get to have draw results twice. Two times to get told "no tag". Haha!

I just got a plain envelope and wrote in the address that was given on the leftover tag list. 5000 carefree highway att: draw/first come.

So how much do you write the check out for? 42.25 or 34.75? Just want to be sure. It doesn't make it clear if you have to pay the application fee again.

never mind it works now. no wonder they didnt charge my card. I didnt get drawn

did they crash the site already? all it says now is site is unavaiable and to check back later.

Awesome video Jim! This is getting me pumped too! I'm excited for draw results to come out now just so we can see the leftovers.

Everytime I checked my account it was C. But after a few days its become more like B. whatever!

Bigorange congrats on the tag! Jim that is some very very good advice and I really appreciate it.

Thanks for the advice everyone. My style of hunting for mule deer is to glass, glass, and glass with my 15's on a tripod so I think I will transition just fine. I have a baby due in early October so I'm really hoping that some of those late November/early December tags come up for leftover just to give me some time to help out at home when the baby arrives. Any suggestions on a specific unit? I would prefer to have some space between myself and the border. Maybe unit 31 or 32. I would love to see some images of what kind of country I would be looking at in these areas. If you guys don't mind posting up some pictures of the views from your glassing spots that would be sweet! Thanks!

I would suggest looking for a deal on some Minox 15's either in the 58 or 56 lens. they are sweet! and cheaper than both Swarovski and vortex. I love mine and you can sometimes find some for sale for around the $600 area give or take a few.

you won't know until the official results come out a little later on. maybe a week or so. congrats on the tag though

Any fresh hits this morning? Im still hoping.

Has anyone had this happen with a Capitol one card?

Congrats Tyler! Got my fingers crossed! I put 12aw late 1st choice and strip 2nd choice so I'm not counting on it but you never know...
