tbone Report post Posted February 4, 2007 Ok guys, I am used to getting up 3 hours before light and heading to my treestand, setting up at least 1 hour before light, and then waiting it out. We usually hunt till around 11:00 go in for lunch, back in the tree by 2:30 and then staying well past dark. Whats the scoop on Mountain Lions and Bears? Is the type of hunting I am used to a problem? How is it done in Arizona? The only thing we have to wory about in Oklahoma is Bobcats and coyotes, which are more affraid of us than we are of them.

You aint got to wory about anything but south of the border folks around here my friend. I would get to your treestand before light and have it set up on water. The deer seem to hit the water around 9am and 1pm on average, but you never know what will come in to get a drink. Make sure you get a lion tag, as they are only a few bucks and the season is all year long....P.S. Also carry a handgun with you at all times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IHunt2live Report post Posted February 4, 2007 25-06 is right. But what I like about hunting around here is that there are so many ways you can go about it. If your hunting in the pines for Coues then the tree stand works great. However, there are a lot of whitetails in the more open areas were a tree stand might not be your best bet. Me personaly I like the spot and stock, especialy if your rifle hunting. You can cover a whole lot more ground that way. Some might disagree with me but I think Coues, especialy in the lower more open areas of Arizona, don't have much of a patern they will have a home range that they will stay in but I don't realy think that they have a set patern they stick to like the eastern whitetails. If you're intrusted in spot-n-stock get some good optics, personaly I perfer 12x and above all, get a tripod. A tripod will be a hudge help. Practice those long shots to. I like to get to within 200 yards but if you feel comfortable shoting way out there, more power to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted February 10, 2007 i somewhat disagree.this year in november, my dad and i glassed up 3 bucks in the bottom... we saw them 3 days a row in the same place. i messed up and should have been set up on the second day in a place where i could take a shot. two of the bucks were very nice! 90+ the other was a 65-70" fork that i had a 308yards... if it wasnt opening morning, i would have taken the buck but i passed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
