When glassing for animals like coues do you do your "finding with the 12/15 and the verify with spotter usually? Any avtual "finding" with the spotter?

There are no secret spots in 4b, so don't worry about trying to find them. Elk are literally EVERYWHERE in the unit. Flats, canyons, transitions....everywhere. Just decide what terrain you want to hunt and go find a dozen or so spots. You will want multiple backup plans. Because there are so many roads, you WILL run into people. Get off the roads and you are good. If you want to be alone, go to the canyons. Nobody likes the canyons. There are definitely areas that get hit hard though. The weekends are BAD. in addition to the hunters you have everyone else. The weekdays are nice though. I will be up there with my wife for her first cow tag during the same time. If you want help calling or finding give me a shout. I help people every year in 4b.

Maybe we should schedule a Saturday early morning out our way at the base of some mountain range like the San Tans where everyone interested brings their optics and we line them all up side by side and give everyone who comes a chance to look through them and see what they think. Could be a fun little CWT get together. So who's going to make this happen?

Rats. I thought it would be Holder.....

I have a built in onan but my buddy has one he got from Costco that has a remote. Has been dependable for a couple of years. Loud sucker though.

I am VERY careful when it comes to snakes. I where guards anytime I go out when they are active. I am scared to death every time I take my kids out to Aravaipa. I have had a few close calls, but never have been struck. Well, not on accident anyway... ....a few years back I recorded a video of trying to get a snake to strike. It was interesting how unwilling he was to strike. I know that is not always the case, but I do think they are more interested in just getting away. I don;t even know anyone who has been hit and we have been in the desert our entire lives.

New Mexico draw results out 2 weeks early!
AzDiamondHeat replied to Couestracker's topic in Coues Deer Hunting in New Mexico
My buddy drew elk, deer, antelope and oryx. He seems to be happy....lol -
I like to use coyote targets. for basically the same reason as above, small target doesn't need to be as far. Of course they are not the same anatomy as an elk, but close enough to get the right muscle and eye memory. Much easier to set up too and readily available at all the stores.

We need to go out and compare these some upcoming weekend. I have the new Vortex Razor 85 and would like to see how it compares side by side to some of these others in the actual outdoors. Maybe we should schedule a Saturday early morning out our way at the base of some mountain range like the San Tans where everyone interested brings their optics and we line them all up side by side and give everyone who comes a chance to look through them and see what they think. Could be a fun little CWT get together. I have nothing of value to add in participation but I would LOVE to see this. I have never been an optics guy, but I am getting there.

Loved my pop up. Wish I still had it. Be careful with the propane and make sure everything is "safe" and you should be fine. Get one with full size wheels and tires and you can take it anywhere. They setup as fast or faster than a tent. The only "con" is there is not much storage, but that can be remedied.

Do you guys have the straight or the angled?

I am surprised no sheep hunters recognize that mountain. Just about died on the backside on my quad today. Nasty road. I know I have a couple cousins on here that KNOW exactly where this is....lol
-
Are you ready for some coues?
AzDiamondHeat replied to OpticNerd's topic in Coues Deer Hunting in Arizona
I want one. I won't be greedy. Just one. -
And probably ran right to the road and died on a small rise so all you had to do is back up the truck and lower the tailgate. Some guys have all the luck.....lol

Got my 1st archery bull tag. Need equipment advice
AzDiamondHeat replied to DUG's topic in Elk Hunting
I have been very happy with my garmin oregon. Lots of free maps available and I can sync it with my other gps unit and my computer. I pop it into a ram holder when I ride my quad then tether it to my pack while hiking. Or I just use the sun and a stick. -

AzDiamondHeat replied to DUG's topic in Elk Hunting
Some of the guys I know will use sneakeez or whatever on their boots. I tried it once and didn't like it. I am more of a "call them to me" kind of guy rather than a "sneak over to them" guy. If I know I am not hitting the steeps, I will wear trail shoes. My boots are pretty light an agile though. I have plenty of camo that I don;t need to wash them while out, but I do go back home a few times during the hunt and I will wash everything then. Scent spray is a waste of your money. Just my opinion. -
