Recommended Posts

Just wondering if the seminar is worth goinig to and if they give you good info on specific units . First time getting drawn so I will probably go no matter what but just curious what any of you guys may think of it.

Josh,

 

I was drawn last year for the 1st time (muzzleloader 2B), and attended the seminar at Sportsman's Warehouse in Phoenix. I drove there from Yuma and back the same night to attend, about a 400 mile round trip.

 

I learned a lot at the seminar, having never hunted antelope before. I actually feel that the pointers I picked up made the hunt successful. There were speakers from AZGF, archery antelope record holders, and guides. It was put on by the Antelope Foundation, and was very well done.

 

AZGF did not have a rep there for the unit I would be hunting, but they were able to give me phone numbers and names of the unit AZGF folks. I called them and picked their brains about the unit and animals, as I had never hunted that unit before.

 

My recommendation would be to do everything possible to help your hunt be successful, and scout thoroughly. You have a tag that only comes around every several years. My hunting partner was last drawn in 1976...I've been a bit luckier as I only had 7 bonus points when I got drawn.

 

Good luck, and have fun!

 

Rod.

Tony Grimmett's video on scoring antelope should be worth the investment, considering that antelope tags are so difficult to get.

The goat seminars are well worth the time! Lots of intersting people there( PROBABLY QUITE A FEW THAT KNOW WHERE SOME LARGE BUCK ARE IN YOUR UNIT) Tonys video is awesome if you care about learning some good pointers/tips on how to judge the size of a trophy buck!
