Congrats on the tag...that’s some great luck! On that kind of a time crunch I’d be calling a guide...even if they’re full with clients they may have scouting packages or able to provide good info.

Bump for those HAM tag holders...

I have 2 camping spots down there I can find in the dark, but not sure I could tell someone how to get there without looking at map first. I’ll PM you. Neither spot is a secret so you’ll probably have company or someone will beat you there.

Hate flat brims but my daughter lets me use her 6.5 on my hunts. So far it’s had one 425yd cold bore one-shot kill and watched the buck fall in the scope. Not as long as you’re asking about, but I doubt I’d shoot much farther at an animal just due to doubting my own abilities.

Awesome...congrats!

Yeah I’ve hit somewhere 1800-1900 with my 2000. Very pleased with it.

Yes to both. Keep at it and it will come together for you. The chase is the fun.

Nice bucks. Congrats on the double!

Friend in MI sent me a pic of a lion on his farm...said they aren’t huntable there...yet I guess.

Good stuff. Huge congrats and thanks for sharing the video.

Weekend bump...anyone get hit for HAM tag and want a sweet new setup?

Seems good to me on mobile with banner ads disabled...I don’t specifically remember seeing the issue with messages before though.

Awesome brother...huge congrats!

So now it becomes $26 a year to buy 2 points or to put in without drawing and buy the super point. I do see this accelerating point creep, and to be competitive will probably have to buy it. For a good cause...I waste $13 on a lot of other stuff.

A couple of those questions are answered in the video... good luck with the hunt and let us know how it goes. I’d be interested to see if you get consistent groupings at longer yardage compared to the copper.

I grew up hunting whitetails in TN...probably very similar. It took a little getting used to when I first moved out west, but I love a good spot n stalk in the desert now. Don’t worry about knowing what you’re doing...just get out there and have fun. Nothing like spot n stalk on rutting bucks. Great experience.

Beautiful buck. Huge congrats!

Good stuff. Bummer on Aurora, but sounds like a good experience for everyone.

Awesome stuff right there...congrats all around. Sounds like a great time.

Welcome...lots of good info and experience here and lots of good sarcasm too. Sounds like you already know that though. I agree with what others have said...lots of great coues units just pick one and go for it. Unclear if you’re a resident or not. If so jump right in and start scouting...or grab your bow and head out for OTC archery in Dec and Jan.

Yes. Southeast side of town.

Good stuff. Huge congrats!

The latest post I saw said 10/20

Yeah if you’re willing to hike more than a mile or two, there’s plenty of areas in 33 and other units close to Tucson where you won’t see any other hunters.

For smoking you can’t beat the Big Green Egg. For overall versatility and ease of use I love my Traeger or whatever pellet grill you prefer. Steaks, burgers, ribs, pork shoulder, pizza, you name it...we love the pellet grill.
