I was out Friday and Saturday and saw no rutting at all.

That makes my Antelope chili last look well..just bad REDDOG

You should have called me I don't have a winch but I'm sure I could have found someone that does! Any luck with the hunting? REDDOG

I have had one experience with hunting one specific buck. I found him in late January during the rut, but could not close the deal. I went out once to twice a week in Feb and March to keep an eye on him, then one day he just disappeared. I looked for him the whole summer thinking I could kill him in the archery August hunt, but I never laid eyes on him again. I had 5ish Trail Cams out all summer and not one picture of him. I then drew the early Nov hunt for that unit, . I told myself it was that deer or nothing. I had expanded the area I was looking for him in to about 3 mile radius of where I had last seen him and still no luck. With about 2 days left in the hunt my hunting partner said lets go back to where we last saw him. I ended up killing him within 150 yards of where he was the last time I saw him 7ish months ago. Not sure this helps but this buck never left his "core area" and never moved around much, as I never caught him on any trail cameras that were within a quarter of a mile or so. As a side bar, a friend of mine scored him at about 116 gross non-typical. But this was by far my most memorable hunt not because of the score but because of the effort it took. Hang in there and make it Happen!! REDDOG

Are those pictures off a Cell phone camera. Looks like a Verizon. I was just curious as to which camera you are using, and how is the service? Thanks REDDOG

That is way cool. After you get your hawk, how long does it take to train them before you let them "free Fly" I'm sure that is not the right terminology but you get the idea. Thanks, REDDOG

Love that username. I feel like I almost copied you...? :D GREAT Minds Think Alike!!

I drew unit 10 rifle as well, pretty stoked. Never hunted goats in that unit but it should be a great time! Congrats to everyone that drew! REDDOG

I got hit for archery Bull, and Antelope. I'll be gone the whole month of Sept!! My wife is going to hate me!! REDDOG

Thanks for the pics! Look like fun

Thanks for the reply on Max points guys!! I guess my 22 is still does not guarantee a tag! REDDOG

What is the max BP number on Goats?

Thank you helping a bunch of junkies out! Antelope rifle unit 5b, 22BP, one residence applicant Elk early archery unit 1, 7BP, 3 residence applicants . Thanks for your help REDDOG

Thanks to him and all others who have or are serving!! REDDOG

I was going to say the same thing about the ears, but also the nose looks a little glossy, and there does not seem to be any of that "white eye" effect. That said I hope it is real and would love to hear the story! REDDOG

Becker, A thought/question? Is it possible that your camera is just on the very limit of his home range, and that the "long walk" is still in his home range. The reason I am thinking about this is, I get a buck on camera every 2-2.5 weeks, so I just assumed I was on the limit of his home range. The problem is I just can't find him with the binos. So maybe my assumption is all wrong, and he just shows up on his "long walks" and I need to expand my search area. It is always fun trying to figure out what one deer is doing! Reddog

Daughter drew a JR Tag. Super excited!! REDDOG

So when do you guys start to put up your trail cams for the August hunt? Reddog

Nothing, now have 6 elk and 22 Goat points.

This sounds really cool, but unless I missed it, I could use more info. Where are the kids staying, what and where will they be fishing/hunting etc.. Thanks,

208, Now that was a good post!

I have 21 for antelope thinking unit 9 or 5b rifle and 6 for elk early bow unit 8 Tanks for all the help REDDOG

I have pictures on my phone of this deer, assuming we are talking about the same deer, and the guy who shot it is a stand up dude. I see no reason to drag this trophy through the mud. Why would we even question it? Does any one have any info that said something "fishy" went on with the harvesting of the deer? If just enjoy the fact that there are still great deer out there just waiting to be found! REDDOG

Plaese let me know if you have any left. Im in Tucson but would come to you if necessary!

I've got 19 pts for antelope as well and now 20 pts for next year. Looks like it's all over now, Congrats to all the lucky ones who drew! I ditto on the 19 points...always next year or the year after etc.. Anyone know what max points for lops was this yr?
