Sneaker Report post Posted December 11, 2020 Thought I would start a thread to share what people are seeing out there. I know someone out hunting today, haven't heard any updates yet. I'll probably do some driving around with my kids tomorrow to see what is going on out here near Kingman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sneaker Report post Posted December 13, 2020 Hearing they are going pretty good in some spots with mature bucks with most of the doe groups in northern AZ. A two point was harassing a group of does behind my place yesterday morning. Some smart guys poached him with rifles a couple hours late. The Calvary showed up and eventually after some excitement the guy/guys got busted. Don’t use rifles in archery season boys and girls. 4 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buglethemin Report post Posted December 15, 2020 No rut activity in the south central desert units for the muzzy hunt. We were on a 180 class walking all by his lonesome for miles. All does by themselves w no bucks. Hunting the flats are tough. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
high rise hunter Report post Posted December 15, 2020 I was up north by Prescott, Friday-Sunday and the rut was in full swing. Watched a couple bucks battle it out for a good 10 minutes and only saw a single doe group that didn't have buck(s) in tow. Wrapped my tag around a nice buck. Was tickled pink. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I put 4 stalks on this buck Friday but each time busted by one of his 11 does. Caught up with him again Saturday morning and made what I thought was a very marginal shot. Playing safe, I spent the rest of the day glassing, trying to find him with the optics to no avail. The following morning dropped into where he took off after the shot and found him within 200 yards. The arrow, although farther back then I would have preferred, did catch vitals so I'm sure he was done within a couple of minutes. Don't mind the long hair. It's Covid season and I'm living my best Tom Hanks from Cast Away. 25 6 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
