Thats a giant bear with a beautiful cape on it. Good plan! Where we were this weekend, we didn't find any bears in the prickly pear.

Outstanding job all around. Congrats to Colby!

With 7 points you are still a couple yrs away from getting into the bonus pass for some units. According to Gohunt you could have drawn 7E but thats about it.

Been going to Ross outdoors for yrs now. I've never had a bad experience there.

We went around 730-8pm and it was still stupid packed. Couldnt even walk down the ammo isles. Probably only walked around a quarter of the store before leaving.

Way to stick with it and get it done. Congrats

There has been some great bulls taken this yr.

Some good bulls are being killed. Seems like a lot of extra points and good mass on the bulls this yr.

Congrats on 2 nice bulls. Good mass on both and some extras.

My buddy's son killed a good bull on the early rifle hunt opening day.

WMAT bull 450" I heard

Cant wait to get to camp and mix it up with some bulls. No tag for me but pumped to go help.

I was only going to be able to hunt opening weekend due to work and other things going on. I had planned on sitting a tank since the monsoon has been pretty lackluster and then like clockwork a big storm rolls through the area on Wed evening. I get to camp on Thurs and there are puddles of water everywhere, I decide to sit water anyway and see what happens. Friday opening day comes, sit all day and only 2 does come to water. The weather was heating up friday and the puddles were starting to dry out, higher hopes for Saturday sit. Morning comes get to tank, I hear someone in the distance yelling at his dogs, some Turkey sound off gobbling after that. The hours go by, have people coming to tank mid day to check tracks, Have a drone flying overhead, more people coming to check tank. Im hot and irritated, its 1pm and I decide Im going to leave. I get up to stretch and look around and see a body of a deer, cant see the head. I get ready, a doe comes to water. I knew there were more than 1 deer so I stay ready. Second deer comes in and its a buck, looks like a decent buck. I decide I will take him. He drinks and I think maybe I wont take him, a little smaller than my original thoughts. He messes with the doe for a little while and starts to walk off, it was then that I decided to shoot him at 43 yds. He took a tumble right away, got up junped the fence and almost fell there. I lose him in the trees. I wait 30 mins and start to track, short blood trail as he was piled up only 30-40 yds from shot.

There is only 2 units closed after the first week. Why go to a draw for all archery? I dont think a coues unit last yr ever met the quota that I could remember.

Congrats!

Anybody head out on these early bear hunts and have any success this past weekend?

Nice mounts.

Nice!

14 yrs this yr for me. A memory popped up on my facebook the other day when we used to get a couple CWT tables and go to the OE4A banquets. Good times

Awesome job!

What a cool looking buck and good job on the video.

Yes it was brass.

Thats crazy. He had about 750,000 rounds he said. Sale started Saturday and they are closed on sundays.

I think it might be in store only.

$205.60 for a case of 1000 rounds of 9 at Ammo AZ until tomorrow
