That was fast. Great pack at a great price!

Bump for a nice freezer...timing is wrong for me. Bought mine in Nov.

350 Kaibab buck. Dang deduction #10 cost me the 400!

Great idea! Donated. And thanks a ton for all the help Flatlander!

Yep...they've been releasing bighorn again over the past couple years. Not sure where the good spots to glass for those would be though. I think they were seeing them behind Catalina SP.

Sort of trivial, but I also have a reason for asking. What are the statistically "impossible" hunts to draw for both elk and antelope with 1 hunter ed BP? My reason for asking is that my son doesn't want to hunt this year, but I want to buy him a bonus point. He turns 10 in June...so can't just buy a bonus point (have to be 10) but he can apply for a hunt since he'll turn 10 before the hunt. I've seen folks talk about which hunts get filled in the bonus pass, but is this information available anywhere? I haven't seen it on the AZGFD site, but not the first time I've been looking in the wrong place. Thanks!

Thanks for all of the responses and PMs. Have my ideas now of which hunts would be the lowest likelihood of drawing, BUT one viewpoint I hadn't thought about was pointed out to me by a great guy on here who has been very helpful to me in the past. On the slim chance my son did draw the <1% odds early rifle tag, I'd hate to be the guy who's been putting in for years and gets bumped. I may have to re-think this and just wait another year. I know it won't be a big deal to my son either way, and that's what is most important to me. I don't think he'd want a bonus point if he knows that it means someone else missed out.

North end of the monument...Douglas Spring Trail at the end of Speedway. Last time we hiked there I saw a guy in camo with tripod/binos coming out. He said he glasses there all the time since no risk of bothering hunters. He said he sees a lot of deer and has seen lions too.

I know it's hard to imagine, but I think the reality of being able to hunt big game hit him and scared him. He loves shooting and going out hunting with me, so I don't want to pressure him or make him hunt with his own tag until he's ready. Planning on getting him a deer tag this fall and taking him to one of the youth camps so he can see other kids hunting too. I'm sure this will pass eventually, but I don't want to ruin hunting for him by forcing him but also want to get bonus points in the meantime. I was thinking any early rifle hunt would do the trick too...

Hoghntr email is the best way to reach her Amanda@coueswhitetail.com

My bad. Yeah he has the 1 BP for hunter ed. I don't know the answer on buying a bonus point without hunter ed.

early archery bull 4a vs 5bns vs 6a, resident zero pts early archery bull 27 vs 4a vs 5bns, resident 2 pts oh yeah and an easy one...10yo resident with zero pts bonus point he doesn't want to hunt this year... Thanks a LOT for doing this flatlander. Awesome.

I think the online app only populates your address if you buy license online...not sure, but my observation from entering apps for our group. Is it also true that the lifetime license counts as a resident license even if you move out of state?

Keep at it man. I'm in the same boat...have had several great stalks where things haven't played out just right. It will happen.

My tires would help it sell...still in really good shape.

That was fast! Mini-fridge is spoken for...

Still have this set... http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/52869-kelly-safari-atr-2657017-250/?do=findComment&comment=505847

Merry Christmas to all and to all a great hunt!

Just picked one up myself...sweet pack! hope you find yours...

Very glad to hear he will be okay. I too have never met TJ, but like others have grown to know and respect him on these pages. Prayers for a quick recovery brother.

Send those prices south! $2.25 in Tucson and diesel is $3.19...

Interesting...I'd like to hear what you find out, especially if you put a camera out. I've never seen what I thought might be a scrape in the desert, and wasn't really sure if mule deer made them at all.

Awesome...congrats to Samuel and to you Eddy for getting him out there! My Samuel turns 10 this year and can't wait for his first big game hunt!

Nice couple of Christmas gifts there...what scope is on the rifle?

I was in contact with them for a while, but ended up deciding not to rent and just used my Vipers. Another sponsor Ross Outdoors also rents optics. I've heard good reports on both of them.
