JVS Report post Posted December 10, 2006 Anyone seeing activity out there? I haven't even been out since my rifle hunt! Between work, yeah, some of us work, and fixin' up the house (my second job), I haven't made it out. Someone please nap me and take me hunting! Anyway, I would assume the cold snap a few weeks ago did something for them. Just curious what you all have seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SilentButDeadly Report post Posted December 11, 2006 no Saw a buck and a doe together this morning. Both were feeding, buck didn't seem too interested -but he was mature, about 85 inches - so maybe things are heating up... Sorry didn't have camera with me (if I'd remembered to take it I wouldn't have found any deer!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sgha Report post Posted December 22, 2006 Not happening in 23 yet, at least the lower elevations, got out with azonecam yesterday and saw 30 deer all but 2 were does, and the bucks were very young spikes. One spike thought he was interested but the ladies would have no part in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azcouesandelk Report post Posted December 23, 2006 Down in 36a yesterday watching mulies and whitetails. One whitetail buck was with 2 does but really not concerned about them kinda doing his own thing. Also saw a good number of muley bucks but none were with does except for a couple of spikes. On a side not I saw the biggest freak I have ever glassed up. He was a 7x2 with a droptine (sorry no pics to far away with very very little light) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you find him again on Saturday? Also it is very inoportant to know where your hunter is when you are the man on the glass. Trust me I been there to many times. Good luck Reddog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
