kingbeer Report post Posted December 5, 2013 i am heading out to the archery hunt in unit 22 in may for the spring hunt. now i have never been hunting in az before and my father in law is telling me that we should check out the mountians near bartlett lake (just east and off the beeline) and also check out west of rosevelt lake (near browns peak) and then also thought about checking out the areas in and around payson. also anyone have any suggestions on a good preditor call? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want to see what a late season Arizona bear's coat looks like. And, for the original poster, any predator call can work on bears. Its not the brand or model, but the effort and emotion that you put into while calling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
