I need to do this...good idea!

Some of the best naps I've had were under a tree after glassing for hours. I won't mention my buddy on here who I've watched falling asleep while in his binos.

Got mine...57 left.

Good country and not a zoo during that hunt hopefully. Yeah I was surprised to see those leftovers...

LOL I know that voice..The first time I heard that voice I was like " WTF " She's one of Marge Simpson's sisters...

My dad has the same gun...I grew up shooting it over 30 yrs ago. Started losing pressure earlier this year and I helped him replace the seals in it while we were there on vacation and good as new! Not bad for almost 40 yr old air rifle.

Didn't work out for us schedule-wise. Will be there next year hopefully with my daughter. Took my son 2 years ago and loved it...have a great time!

Mulepackhunter is spot on. You can rebuild it but a lot of work and new one is more value.

Bought mine from the same link Desertbull provided...yeah the Amazon price is crazy. I'm in Tucson if you want to borrow mine...

My thoughts exactly...

Nope and it's long gone. Nobody claimed it so I gave it away. It was a Ruger.

My buddy just moved to ABQ and is looking for taxidermy recommendations. He also drew a sheep tag so definitely hoping to have some taxi work in Dec.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing. I used Barnes (the free box with voucher plus bought some) in my .270 on my Kaibab hunt a couple years back. Very pleased with how they shot from my gun and very effective on the buck at about 250yds. Petals left a broadhead-type hole through the lungs and large exit hole. As long as my gun likes them I'll keep using them.

There and strengthening is good advice. Lots of youtubes out there. If you want to take it one step further take a look at the Dry Fire Pro training device. www.dryfirearchery.com Invented by a bowhunter in Pinetop...great for strengthening and form. If you're able to draw and shoot get some good lessons on form and start right. Then shoot a lot of bows and find one you like in your price range. Maybe one of the more adjustable ones so you can start with a low draw weight if needed due to injury and work your way up. Sorry I don't have any advice on shops in the valley. Archery is great! Good luck and enjoy!

I bet you'll be fine.

This. I've always been told that you see more glassing (and I do) and tough chance for a shot, but if you sit long enough you'll get a better shot opportunity. I've never sat long enough for deer myself. Grew up hunting out of treestands and got my fill of sitting. I'd much rather spot n stalk. But I haven't had many shot opportunities in August either.

It's confusing to say the least if you haven't gone through the process a couple of times. One person can only be on one application per genus of wildlife per draw. (Well I suppose you could be on more than one app, but only one app will be allowed to draw a tag) I think it's already been answered, but if you want to guarantee you hunt together put all 3 on one app together. If you want to better the odds that at least one of you draw then put in 3 separate apps. If you put more than one hunt choice and separate apps then you run the risk of drawing different hunts too...which could be good or bad depending on the dates.

Seem to be fewer and fewer leftovers every year...getting more popular I guess.

I've seen screenshots like this one but no link and I can't find it on the site either.

Ctrl-Alt-down arrow works too. Used to do that to people at work. LoL Nice rig...looking for something in the.243 ballpark for my kid but this is way too much fun for him.

I met him on my archery hunt...nice guy. That ranch was walk-on access and open during archery last year. Not sure about rifle season.

Unfortunately that list gets shorter every year...and yes that's a lot quicker turn-around than usual.

I didn't realize it was that soon but yeah the "apps accepted" starts Monday...hope they post the list soon.

I remember the 36A/B deer camp being in Nov, but is it usually during the youth hunt or the regular hunt? I vaguely remember in years past it was the regular hunt so folks could get leftovers...has anyone seen when it will be this year?

Cool...didn't find that on YOU site under upcoming events, but now I see it's on their calendar. Thanks!
