More interesting question… if there was no probably cause, and he requested to search your pack, would you let him?

But which optic. Is it a scope? Open sights?

Billy what sight are you using? That’s the part that I think will be toughest to navigate.

Dude, congrats! So happy for you guys, what an adventure!

Man we struggled to find deer period. It’s like October out there, 80+ during the day

You won. I wouldn’t change a thing from what you are doing. Right now you are teaching those little dudes to love the outdoors. Build that and eventually the deer will come. And you will have the very best hunting buddies for life.

Heck of a season. Congrats on a beautiful bull.

You were pretty fair. I’d of sent her up the hill to get set while I tried to run them off the road 😂 And, to be honest, what most hunters would have done is made a stink about it and got on social media to complain about road hunters ruining everything. No animal is worth a bunch of drama. Hunting is supposed to be fun or a way to separate from our day to day. Not something to be even more stressful and dramatic.

Bye Felicia

You seem to feel threatened by his accomplishments. Nobody hates a poacher more than a less successful poacher.

Everyone can see what’s happening here. Seems you are the one blinded by your emotions for another man and you projecting that to others further demonstrates the point. You might need a law school refresh if you can’t see the blatant bias’ in your argument.

Seems the essence of the conversation might be over your head.

My boys are doing fine. They have been raised to derive their self worth from their accomplishments and know better than to fall into the trap of tearing others down to extract personal validation.

You are a dip stick.

It’s a dumb technical interpretation of the law used to specifically target a well known person. It’s not good for anyone when government gets an ego.

For what? I sure don’t have a love affair with the dude but the only charge I ever saw was for flying to scout for mule deer during an open OTC hunt for pretend elk on the strip. Those hunts are open like 9 months out of the year. Lion hunts are open the same for almost the whole state. So are we saying that seeing wildlife while flying is always illegal in AZ?

It gets recorded and published which does matter to people who are looking for publicly available information. My experience is that it is highly dependent on their mood. Bring in a smiling happy kid, score gets bumped up a little bit. Be late and bring a stinky decomposing head, expect them to round down.

The December rifle hunts for mule deer generally rotate through the region. I think the 37B youth hunt is here to stay.

I usually like to hunt the junipers in that unit. Red Hill to Sunset Pass.

I have been to that bench. And not too far away I found a tiny javelina skull in the rocks.

Good job. Congrats!

A lot of trees in the back of trucks on the beeline on our way home from our late hunt. Good luck, enjoy this beautiful weather!

Never thought to go up from the cheeks. I always start under the jaw and go down each side. This looks like it makes two easy flaps. A video specifically on peeling around the bases, especially on like elk might be good.

Certainly the first in the last 100 years or so, right?

I will be the dissenter here. I actually don’t think it’s that cool. To me the allure of a goat hunt is the experience of hunting them, where they live and all that goes with that. Just finding one in the aspens / mule deer country and shooting it doesn’t seem like it would scratch that itch. I don’t have anything against him killing it. It just isn’t the same as hunting and taking one in the mountains. And wouldn’t take the place of a true mt goat hunt for me. That being said, it’s really cool to think about it being possible and the novelty of the idea. I’m glad someone was able to confirm their existence there. And seems like a decent coat on that goat, and it might even be a Billy.
