HuntKaibab Report post Posted August 21, 2012 Hey guys, haven't posted in awhile but been trying to find a place within a short drive of N. Phoenix (I live in Anthem) to chase some deer. Just recently started getting into Archery in hopes that it would yield more oppertunity to get out, with my class schedule this year the General season is looking like it will be a weekend deal for me so probably looking to put some more weekends in and maybe arrow one. Thinking about starting at Dugas rd or Bloody Basin but have also had thoughts about trying over near Bartlett or Horseshoe or even N. of lake Pleasant if its even legal to hunt that area? Anyone ever hunt any of these areas or should I bag the local stuff and seek spots elsewhere? Just trying to figure out how close to the ballpark I am with unit 21, and 20B for that matter. Thanks for all the input in advance, good luck to everyone on opening weekend! -Mike Seivert Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
runningbird Report post Posted August 21, 2012 I used to hunt a little North of Phoenix all the time.... But then they built a development out there....I think they called it Anthem... anyway you sure don't need to go far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Antmo23 Report post Posted August 21, 2012 I jumped a big buck at 5 yards while quail hunting off of the Bartlett dam road, good 4 point, pushing 28 in wide. Lol, don't know who was more surprised, me or the buck. Was right off the road though,good luck out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
