Awesome...I had a cow tag too and it's a lot harder than I expected! Seems like every time I hunt bulls I get busted by cows but this hunt I couldn't find cows to save my life. Every bull we found bugling was solo. But it was a blast hunting during the rut and I too learned a lot even though I didn't tag out. Congrats on your cow! Good eating...

Congrats! I had a cow tag this year and am dining on tag soup. Hard hunt is an understatement. I really like that creative use of the cane. Also great to see so much help come forward from the forum members...no surprise, but still great to see.

Nice bull and write-up. Love the pack out photo.

Lookin good. I need to get a pic of mine posted...got the sticker on just in time for my elk hunt. Thanks Amanda for getting it to me so quickly!

Love those hand-powered trolling motors. Most reliable on the market.

FS office is downtown Tucson in the federal building...300 W Congress on the 6th floor. Otherwise REI, Summit Hut, or Tucson Map and Flag at 1st and Ft Lowell. You want the Coronado NF map, Sierra Vista and Nogales districts. Get the color map as well as the black/white road map. Both are very handy. A buddy of mine hunted 34a last year and camped off the Casa Blanca Rd. I went down for the day and there were a couple of other camps there too. Good luck and have fun!

Nice video and a great bull. thanks for sharing!

Great story and awesome bull! Congrats!

Nice bull...congrats! Didn't she tag a 34b antelope too? Heck of a year she's having...

Awesome pics and love seeing the kids out there with you! Awesome!

I hear you...I grew up hunting in TN where 40 was a long shot from a treestand. I set my first pin at 30...just don't do like I did on my first shot and forget to hold a little low at 25!

Hearing complaints in 27 that in lots of areas the bugling stops by about 8 and doesn't start again before dark. Seems to vary by location.

There was apparently a homeless guy sleeping in his truck on the 403 road in 27 during the first week of the archery hunt. I noticed the truck but just thought someone had a nice spot an was coming back. Some other hunters told me they saw him and talked to him...asked what he needed. Gas and food so they got it for him. Haven't seen the truck since. He also had some good info on elk movements in the area.

It was Scott's friend Greg. I just ran into him again. Heading back out again after a quick trip back to camp. Who would have thought finding cows during the rut could be so tough!

White full-size pickup. Stopped to talk on the 403 road in unit 27...i was in a brown F-150. you gave me some cow advice. Didn't notice your CWT sticker until after we parted. Thanks for the advice...

Congrats! Glad to see you got your bull too. (I was in the brown f-150 and helped you with the wrench for your lugnuts on the atv.)

Mine arrived today...just in time to serve as a backup on tomorrow's elk hunt!

LOL!! I convinced my husband to take an extra day off next week and we are going up to Duwane Adams elk camp to help out where we can for a few days. Will be great to get out in the woods listening to elk! Maybe you should come with us! What unit is Duwayne's camp in?

Yes...love the videos especially the bugling. Thanks for sharing.

I was wondering where the heck you were hunting that already had snow on the ground!

Agree...working today but already in the woods in my mind. Heading up to 27 early tomorrow morning. Can't wait!

Nice...thanks for posting. I'll be up there Sat!

Beautiful buck and great story and pictures. Congrats!

I like the 36ABC archery tag. 34b isnt bad either...

Maybe a fluke but hopefully a sign of good things ahead if not this year...probably beat ASU, no on PAC-12, no on big name bowl this year.
