So i got Drawn for the November archery Bull hunt in unit 22 North. i was just wondering if anyone has hunted that unit/same hunt before. there where 250 tags for that unit and thats a pretty small space for 250 bull tag holders... i figued its going to be harder than most since the rut will be over, its in lower country, and its archery. Any advise??

my brother shot a bear today at 430. followed the blood till it got dark for about 1/2 a mile. he will be going back up tomorrow morning (sunday) and needs help looking for it. Oneshot are you available? i know this is late notice. its in unit 34A any one with dogs that will be awesome. there is a lot of blood to follow its really not that hard just got dark on us. but if anyone can help please let me know AsAP. thanks

Anyone hunt the canyons in Parker creek unit 23s for bears? Was thinking of going there tomorrow?? Do you guys think that's a good spot to glass?

Are these still avaliable?

Maybe this thread has already been done, not sure... But I was wondering if anyone has made their own water hole to stay away from the well know ones during the hunting season. I was thinking of making my own with a back up tank to fill it when it gets low. Do you think it's a waste of time and effort or have some of you been successful with your own? Any feedback would be nice And maybe some pics of the one you built for some ideas.

My brother has become quite good at doing euro mounts for all types of animals his most recent is his bear he took ln september, and my dads buck that hat he took last month. did an outstanding job on both mounts. if anyone is interested in getting a euro mount and doesn't want to pay a high price and wait over a month to get it back, give him a call. his turn around right now is 1 week. his name is Eli 520-248-6293

my dad after hunting hard and not seeing anything for 3 days straight, took a break for 2 days. i told him about a spot I've been to and we went to check it out. after hiking in and setting up we found a nice buck well over 100 inches, but he was moving over a ridge. so we moved and by the time we got to the other side we couldn't find him. but we spotted this smaller buck. my dad was able to put the hammer on him and dropped him where he stood. as he did out jumped the bigger deer from behind a bush 10 yards away but he didn't stop for a ethical shot. needless to say my dad got a great buck for his first deer. my brother then did a Euro mount and added a nice plaque to go with it. if you like it and want one done too with out waiting over a month for it, he does good quality work and can do yours in a weeks time. just give him a call at 520-248-6293 his name is Eli.

that was simply amazing!!! mom with cubs do you think?

Why does it seem that every gate I come to in unit 36a is closed with a pad lock on it. Even the area I use to hunt off canoa rd now has a lock gate. With my hunt coming up next week I'm not sure where to go now. Anyone have any suggestions? Pm me if you can help out.

Nice bear

Just want to say a big congratulations to my brother for one heck of a hunt. he put in a total of 84hrs in a blind trying to tag his first bear. on the second day he was able to shoot a nice bear. unfortunately wasn't able to find it after looking for it till the sun went down and then again the next day. until no more blood was found and concluded the bear was long gone. A week and 3 days later he finally got a second chance. while hiking up to the blind a Sow crossed his path and he put an arrow thru it at 25 yards and a second one at 45 yards. she was dead 80 yards up the canyon. And now he finally has his trophy bear

Yes he shut it down. Thanks Keith. He has tried for 4 years now to get one and couldn't bee more happy with his trophy.

Yes she was with him to experience it all

more pics

you sure deserve that bear after some BS like that!!! Great job and good luck on the deer.

very nice buck!

Yes sir!! He was very nice, and smart too!!

While bear hunting this last weekend I spotted 4 bucks in 1 day 2 spikes a 80" buck and one that was over 100". Now this is an are where I get up to 10 different bears on camera. That same day I saw 3 bears that came in. So do bears effect the big bucks... No not in my opinion. The next day we seen those bucks on an opposite hill where we lost by brothers bear. So they did stick around the general area where the bears are.

Opening day my brother and i were siting in out bear blind. This is probably the coolest experience I've had while hunting. Let me know what you think. http://youtu.be/ager12Q8Z9E #wishtherewasntacub

no luck on finding the bear. they started at 7 this morning and just got a call from them. they can't find anymore blood or any direction on where the bear went. maybe tomorrow we can find any birds circling around that general area, might give us a clue if its dead. i thought for sure they where going to find it...

The bear was only 25 yards away. It was a downhill shot so the arrow went a little higher than where he was aiming. It's was perfectly broadside just a little high I'm guessing. The arrow went in about 8 inches

Thanks Dave!

Thanks for the quick response on such a short notice. Got a couple fellas to help out. What a great community we got here. I'll post an update tomorrow

Good job sticking with it and finding it in the dark!!

Good job glazing it up. I've always wanted to glass a bear but haven't had the chance yet.
