Congrats I also love those eye guards

Congrats brian, franco told me you had killed a buck. I now know how hard it is to spot and stalk coues.

Yeah it did after I clipped that branch, got lucky. I was very disappointed in myself on that one

Sent you a pm

Give me a call this afternoon I saw 5 bucks two days ago while out calling.928-243-3748 Devin

Hey guys I just got invited to go on a 22n early rifle hunt, was wondering if anybody here had an archery tag. Just curious on what to expect as far as size and amount of rut activity in the unit and any other info like that. Thanks

PM also sent for trade.

Good luck in 4B. I killed my goat opening morning in 5A. Will get pics up in the morning.

+1 for clay at mogollon. He did my antelope for me last year looks great and only took 6 months.

Where are you located

somehow managed to draw my second tag in a row. Had 5A rifle last year and drew 5A archery this year. Can't wait for august

I have a Mathews Legacy right handed 29 inch draw and 70 lb limbs. Starting to show minor wear on cables. $225 OBO. The second bow is a Mathews Feathermax right handed 26.5/27 inch draw, 40-70 lb limbs. Has brand new strings $150 OBO.

After 7 straight weekends of scouting I had 3 bucks picked out that would be definite shooters for opening morning. As the story always goes one got shot on the archery hunt, heard he went mid 80's was sad to see a cell phone pic of him by the first monday. My dad and I showed up a couple of days early just to check on the two bucks. One was still in the same area and the other kept bouncing between the unit boundries. After talking and going over photos and film of the two bucks this is the buck I chose to pursue. We watched him all day thursday to try and put him to bed only to watch him get bumped by a pickup 30 minutes before dark. I made a big circle to see if I could glass him on the other side of the ridge before it got dark but never saw him. There was a big bowl I had watched several antelope go into over the last 7 weeks and that was the direction the big buck was headed and that was where we would be before daylight. My dad spotted the buck at 3/4 of a mile away before the sun came up and we planned out the stalk. I ended up getting within 250 and another hunter popped up on the hill directly across from me. The buck was chasing a doe right in between us. He ended up getting out with neither of us taking a shot. Stalk number 2 ended up only getting to within 500 yards and didnt want to take the shot, I watched the buck walk off for the second time that day. Only an hour later i took off on my third stalk on the buck and belly crawled up to 206 yards and had the buck lay down in some tall grass only leaving his head visible. I laid there for about 45 minutes waiting the buck out only to have a truck drive up behind me bumping the buck and his five does. I didnt ever think that i was going to close the deal on this buck. We made yet another circle and finally caught up with the group again a couple more miles away. They were a little over a mile away. I took off on the fourth stalk of the day and dang was it getting hot (low 90's). I got to the last hill before i should be able to see the buck. I peaked over the top and there he was about 400 yards I was able to close the distance to 300 and steadied my 300 WSM on the bucks shoulder and that was all she wrote. The buck was 16 1/4 long with 6 inch cutters and scored just under 85, he was well worth the 13 year wait for a tag.

Congrats! Antelope are one of the toughest animals to take with a bow

Congrats that is one heck of a buck, he will be hard to top

was wondering if anyone had the first hunt and did any good. My little bro has the second hunt. Just wondering how the birds were going down south
