Bones Report post Posted April 19, 2006 I am looking for a spot to start bowhunting for Coues and Mule deer for the upcoming season. I know there is a ton of public land to hunt. I live in Avondale and I am looking for somewhere to go within an hour drive. Can any one suggest a great spot? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KGAINES Report post Posted May 13, 2006 The estrellas, or the white tanks, we need to know what direction his house is facing before giving out the specifics, I don't know about coues there though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowhuntinmaniac Report post Posted May 13, 2006 Oh yeah...........well, for Coues he can go south of Maricopa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bones Report post Posted May 15, 2006 Or maybe I can buy one of your overpriced fully guided rip off hunting packages. Good ol boy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KGAINES Report post Posted May 15, 2006 Bones, the problem is the one hour drive part, bowhuntinmaniac did give you a couple of spots to hunt, the white tanks have some very good mule deer, but they are tough to find. Good Luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowhuntinmaniac Report post Posted May 16, 2006 You are on a website asking for advice instead of actually gathering data and scouting for yourself and you think I am over priced..........take into consideration that I actually have scouted and hunted the very areas that I told you about. Remember that when you pay for a guided hunt, you pay for the guide's knowlege and experience of not just the animal you are pursueing, but also the area you are hunting. With that said, try getting out and scouting yourself, you wont get anymore help from me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daryl_s Report post Posted May 16, 2006 not a very good idea to join a site, ask for advice and then talk smack to the people who are giving it to you . good response bowhuntinmaniac, most people wouldn't have been so nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TAM Report post Posted May 16, 2006 A Newbie comes on here asking for help, he says "any help would be greatly appreciated". Six suggestions were given (Kiabab, Estrallas, White Tanks, Around Payson, South of Maricopa, and unit 45). The Newbie comes back here and flames the people that gave him the suggestions. Funny way of showing his appreciation? I guess this is why people don't like e-scouters and don't like giving out info to newbies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
