You guys in Tucson have got hit pretty good this year.

We used to go up the fourmile area but now I guess that it's closed. I used to like ranchers but now I'm starting to wonder. This is depressing to hear and I wish somehow they could regain access for hunters.

I got really lucky and got the leftover 12a fall turkey tag. lol. I'm wondering if they will get rid of them all? It's always fun to go check out the kaibab though.

That's some nice finds and a great deer shed.

That's a great looking bull and congrats to the hunter.

Thanks for the replies

From the early hunts that I've been on up there you will be happy to get a 160 buck.

I haven't seen any calf elk, but I did see a ton of fawn deer in unit 8 this year.

Your son does better than the taxidermist I go to.

When is Europe going to learn?

kill them all

Thanks to all that have served. I have nothing but respect for you.

boom

I got 13 for broke and unbroken brown.

Good luck to all of the first season turkey hunters starting tomorrow. I will be hunting the first season this year, and helping others on their second season hunts. It's looking like we might get some wind the first couple of days, but Sunday is looking better. I will post how my hunts go, and don't forget to do the same.

They were talking yesterday in the unit that I'm hunting.

That is a nice looking mule deer shed. Yeah you definitely had a good couple of days.

Cool story it sounded exciting. I used to carry a decoy around, but I got tired of carrying the extra stuff around. I find it easier just sitting in front of a tree and calling them in.

In the unit I'm hunting I think that the birds went silent. Thursday I heard a bird, but yesterday I didn't hear a gobble all day. I have a friend that is hunting another unit and he said that they're gobbling good but won't commit. Is anyone else having a hard time this year?

I went out this morning and the weather was good. I had one gobbling from about 5am to 5:30am and then it shut up. I just don't think that they're that hot right now or they could have hens, but who knows.

I didn't go out Friday evening because of the wind. The next time that I got out was Saturday evening and roosted a bird. My brother didn't happen to get sleep so we didn't go in the morning, which makes for likely a lucky bird. This evening I didn't hear any gobbles. How is everyone else doing on their hunts?

I was out this morning and got my first gobbles at about 5:20am. They gobbled about eight times between the two of them then stopped. I believe that we got the same two gobbling from 8am to 9am, and then they stopped again at 9am. The wind is making the hunting tough right now.

AZbowhntr, it's looking like you're going to have good weather Sunday thru Thursday.
