There are birds everywhere in 34a, and there is access everywhere in that unit! Madera Canyon Area is closed to hunting due to campgrounds and 1000s of people there every day. It's a huge birding and hiking destination for locals and tourists PM me if your interested in specific areas, this was my bird from 2 years ago in 34A. The turkeys in 34a gobble year round because there is little to no pressure on these birds. Its one of the best areas you could draw for Goulds in the US.

awesome coat on that bear! Congrats!

funny....

Breeze!!! I really don't have much to roast you on, because I know, you more than most have worn the soles of more than a few pairs of boots and been thrown from a few saddles in the quest for big game! unfortunately I don't know chit about those northern units for coues deer. But when in doubt don't be scared to pray for a big buck! I pray alot in my tree stands, and latley it's been working! Most know it must be divine intervention because my fat old butt ain't got much skills as Lark would say!

location?

I voted today!

WGP!

nice work!

let's see pics! congrats!

33 used to be great, but that was before fires and G&F issuing 2000 tags a year for several years! be prepared to see 100+ does for every buck you see. I remember the good ole days when they managed the units for a 4 or 5 to 1 buck to doe ratio. nowadays it 1:100 i guess they figure a buck can breed 100 does. there are still big bucks in 33, but they take a lot of work. good luck!

I can remember 100 degrees on the October hunts when I was a kid.

like I said... they can only go up

how was the boat ramp condition??

well done!

Great first deer! Hope he is hooked for life!
