Parts of azgfd will shut down but it's for endangered species projects because they are partially funded by the Feds, the rest of azgfd will operate as usual

Get an OTC tag if it's available, no matter what don't tell anyone where these elk are, I am sure you are getting pm's now asking bout these bulls

In my family we have 2 ppl with Zeus conquest and ended up making our own straps! Take a strip of 1x4 and cut it to the width of the binos, go to Home Depot and buy heavy duty Velcro strap, bout 3 inch in width, nail it to the base of the wood strip, drill a hole to the size of the tripod bit, then we put a small towel in the middle so the binos sit comfortably without creeping at the sides, after all that wrap it up in outdoors duct tape, works very well and has lasted my family members 4 years thus far

I have been here for 10 years and over that time I have read countless of stories of other hunters messing up your chances of harvesting a critter, here's the die hard question, have you ever messed up another hunter's opportunity to harvest? I may have done this one time, I glassed up a herd of javelina and about 80 yds below them were 4 hunters classing the opposite hill side, it was my last day to hunt so I decided to avoid the hunters and circle around and come down on the herd, it all went perfect and was able to harvest a pig 140 yds away from 4 guys about an hour after glassing them up, they turned around as I whooped And hollered, and all i could do wad point them in the direction the other pigs took off in, I never told them the pigs were behind them the whole time

Wolves - it's time to step up and comment
elkhunter replied to CouesWhitetail's topic in The Campfire
Mark- well posted and well explained, that's why they disappeared in the first place because they fed on cattle That's the primary reason why wolves are doing so well up north, typically predator population remains parallel to prey population (wild prey mind you) but with cattle around it allows wolf population to be higher than their natural way because they don't depend on their natural prey only, whenever cattle is around there's way more food for wolves and allows their population to expand. -

Steve- it may be last minute but there's a ton of ranchers from Sierra vista to New Mexico border that would give you 100% support, they run cattle as a main source of profit, -

Not sure where to comment either, but clicked that I like your products, I couldn't find a 'love' button on the site though -
Bacon, pineapple, bell pepper, onion and teriyaki all on a toothpick

Try Craigslist for this, some new family, non hunters, will jump on this quickly, most hunters already have these items, best of luck!

Let's hear your "Zombie-dove" stories
elkhunter replied to Scooter's topic in Small Game, Upland Bird, and Waterfowl Hunting
I grew up on the empire ranch where's there's always been good dove shooting, I have had numerous doves just fly out of my vest as I was hiking around, some killed recently and some killed hours ago, I think sometimes they r just knocked out cold or just plainly come back to life! -
Big tub, they might mean there's not a hunt able population there yet.......

Lance- last year it was cmc skull works wife with the rifle tag and someone in his fam had the archery tag, they did well, and yes the bigger ones are over in 34a , Wish I could draw this tag, not to get a whopper buck but because I grew up on rain valley road and seen these lope my entire life!

That's awesome, I took my 2 year old son out last Sunday, he wasn't ready to touch the birds yet but did mention the birds were 'sleeping' that's what he told my wife

Soo which bull would you shoot?

Whoops thought this post was on 36b haha, camp near the hwy in 36a that's ur best bet, I have camped there and in 36b and most southern units by myself, I take out my hearing aids before sleep too, just make sure ur loaded and ready if needed, I tend to sleep in my truck (camper) when out
-
Most of the time I spent in this unit, everyone tends to camp in groups and in the morning they make the long drive to their spot, I know arivaca lake always has around 50 ppl camping , good place for a crowd nearby and plenty of main roads to access from there
-
This board never left Sierra vista yet!
-
Mine arrived today whew
-
I take them everywhere with me so I thought I'd tag it!
-
We received leftover tags but still have not gotten our drawn tags yet , supposed to be here by today, I need to see my dec tag unordered to have full belief that I drew

Non-Resident Coues Hunt - Late Dec
elkhunter replied to WVBowhunter68's topic in Bowhunting for Coues Deer
Not very many wilderness areas in 35a and b, sure there's some but it's unglassable or too high in elevation for high deer density, the best unit I think you listed is 33, higher density and more places to get away from the crowd, if you can travel farther then I suggest what the others said -
TJ- how rude of you!
