Thanks to all of you for your advice. My son in law has a friend that hunts and he helped him with the unit selection. We will see if they draw. Thanks so much. I live in AZ and my hunt experience in Colorado was back in 77 and 78.
I should have explained a little more. They are residents. They do not have preference points and are not looking for monsters. they would just like a fun hunt with chance to get some meat.
To answer your questions: they are residents, no preference points since they are rookie hunters, they are wanting to apply this season and they are not that interested in big demand units more meat hunters to get started.
My daughter and son in law want to get into hunting. Even though I have hunted all my life my daughter was not into it so this would be a first for her and her husband. Could you help with a couple of good units for mule deer and antelope that you would recommend they apply for? I live in AZ so...
Blank, I drew the early hunt but had sickness in the family so I had to turn my tag back. Your description on the hunt sounded so much like when you were on the hunt in 06. I hope I can draw next year.
I drew this hunt this year and am heading up in about two weeks to scout. I hunted this hunt in 06 but with the fire I wanted to check if anyone could me advice. Thanks in advance.
After having several opportunities she nailed one on the third day. So great to take my granddaughters to where she shot the cow. Exciting time for all of us. Thanks Gator for your help. I hope I can help you sometime.
If any of you have hunted in the archery hunt or early rifle hunt and can help me with some spots to find a cow for my daughter -in-law, I sure would appreciate it. I have hunted 5B North a couple of times but it was years ago. I am not asking for your honey holes or great spots just areas to...
Thank you so much for your report and pictures. It is great to hear someone with a passion for hunting that is willing to share information. I have read your posts before and have admired your knowledge of the area. I did send you a pm. My son is drawn for this hunt and I sure would like to talk...
Great Gator. I glad you drew. I wish I could help you out like you did us a few years back but you know that unit better than me. Let me know how you do.
Good for you Joel. This is my 20th year of applying with no antelope tag so I surely consider if I ever draw it to be a once in a lifetime tag. Good luck!
There were days when it was good but I think we could have used a cold front instead of the rain. I guy I know described the 14 days pretty well. 4 days good, 4 days average and 4 days not good. The last day I could only spend a half day but where they normally were bugling in the morning it was...
Anyone would be frantic and Allen was so relieved when we were able to give him his bow. I talked with him several times later on the hunt. I have met a good friend through us finding and returning his bow to him. How did you guys do on the hunt?
My son and I were on an archery elk hunt in 6B. Chasin bulls and having a good time but unsuccessful in closing the deal. We were riding down a road when all of a sudden we spotted a bow and quiver lying along side the road. We felt very strange and tried to think of what could have happened. We...
I know many of you guys that have archery or early rifle tags have been scouting in your units, just wondered if they have started talking yet?
Good luck on all of your hunts.
Could any of you recommend a taxidermist for fish in the Phoenix area? I caught a good bass yesterday with my dad who is 90 years old. Dad does not have too many more fishing trips left so I want to get bass mounted to remmber all of the fishing and hunting times we have shared together since I...
Gator, AZGF told me they would be hitting cc's until the results are out and that is supposed to be this upcoming week. Good luck I hope you get drawn.
My daughter asked me to take her on an elk hunt for this upcoming year. She is a resident and I am not. Could any of you let me know of a good unit for her to apply that would be good access. This would be her first big game hunt. If you would like to PM me that would be fine. I also might apply...
