ctafoya Report post Posted November 26, 2021 Miserable 20mph swirling wind. Fun morning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ctafoya Report post Posted November 30, 2021 Absolutely miserable hunt so far. We went home Friday afternoon. The wind was so bad you'd get pushed around glassing. Couldn't even enjoy a beer if I had to. Came back Sunday afternoon. No wind and nice and cool. Yesterday found more does then I can count and a mule buck. Today more of the same but it's 85 degrees. Going to give it another 24 hours and call it if the weather doesn't get better. Maybe do a day trip over the weekend. I'm glad to see the wildlife we are seeing, figured the fire would have pushed everything out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesPursuit Report post Posted November 30, 2021 "Bad" weather just means switching tactics sometimes. The bucks are still there. It may not be the hunt you had in mind but maybe take another approach! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AzRaised08 Report post Posted November 30, 2021 Sounds like a tough hunt but keep at it! Good luck out there, sending good vibes your way 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZ_SAWBUCK Report post Posted November 30, 2021 Don't Quit. Overall hunts have been tougher this year. DRY, COVID, Too many tags issued........just a bad deal....But hey YOU have a TAG! That's AWSOME make the best of it. Think outside of the norm for places to look and go shoot a buck. One thing that's always helped me, with any mission or adventure is to have the mindset of working harder than anyone to get it done. If you do this, at the end of the day you cant say you failed! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ctafoya Report post Posted December 6, 2021 No luck. Unit was good to me last year. Been off work and in the field since Thanksgiving minus a few days back home to take care of shoot. Can't complain. Last year's buck. 24A is bitch sometimes. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jfos Report post Posted December 6, 2021 Had same hunt for 36a. Very tough hunt. Opening weekend we hiked and glassed multiple areas but only turned up does. Came back and hunted Tuesday and turned up a lot more does but that was it. My buddy spotted this buck during the heat of the day and I hiked in and took him. Not a huge buck, but it was my first whitetail and the amount of work put in made it well worth it. Learned a lot from the hunt, and had a great time. It was a great bonus to put some meat in the freezer. God is good 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The wind picked up my tent (it was staked down and had my cot, sleeping bags, and clothes bags inside) and threw it into a prickley pear patch 20 feet away. It broke some poles and ripped it open. Not one of my funner trips. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well way to tough out the rough conditions and putting the time in. Hopefully next year you’ll get the chance at a big one that’s still out there 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
