13B draw!

azdeserthunter · Jul 9, 2018

Just found out I drew a 13b rifle tag! I have been dreaming about this tag for years, I'm so excited it's about to happen. I grew up here in Arizona, bullhead city, just moved last year to idaho though. I have assisted my brother on a guided hunt in 13b close to 15 years ago, he did not get one. So, if anyone would be willing to give me some pointers on where to start scouting that would be much appreciated. I don't mind spending the time in the unit scouting, I'm in good shape and hunt hard. Been hunting az my whole life, mostly desert and kaibab. Please PM me any info you might have. If I'm crazy not going with an outfitter, I'm willing to listen to recommendations as well. Thanks everyone!

I'd use an outfitter in a heartbeat.

Congrats on the tag. My advice is try to enjoy it as much as possible and not put to much pressure on yourself to kill a giant.
If you're worried about score then book a guide. If you're more focused on the experience then go DIY with couple buddies.

A3trophy hunts and mda outfitters produce great bucks, assuming your talking deer and not sheep. Both outfitters are hard core yet enjoyable to hunt with

LAST EDITED ON Jul-12-18 AT 07:16AM (MST)[p]Personally I'm more impressed by stories of people killing 190" bucks DIY than guys/gals shooting a 210" w an outfitter! But that's just my take and not right or wrong by any means! Good luck in whatever you decide to do and congrats on your tag!
