Folgers makes a good tea bag style coffee that if you use 2 bags, makes a nice cup of backcountry joe.

Yes very very fortunate and blessed this year. Drew 13b deer in az, 45 deer in idaho, and best of all getting married to the girl of my dreams in less than a month. Now just to figure out how to juggle it all together. I'm going to try and make a scouting trip to 45 this weekend, still haven't...

LAST EDITED ON Jul-09-18 AT 10:49AM (MST)[p]I drew a unit 45 muzzleloader deer tag. Never hunted the unit. I'm really excited, any suggestions on where to start ? I'm in good shape, don't mind hiking and hunting hard and spending time scouting. In Boise area.

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...

Early archery 10 for me also, hope it gets some more rain for horn growth, though, pretty dry

My vote goes for 300 weatherby mag, you can have wally world order you a vanguard series, which is a howa 1500, excellent rifle, for around $400. 300 weatherby started the ultra mags,(unless you put 300 H&H in this category) and is still an excellent choice. Other choices listed here are...

So whats the new news with unit 10 and all the talk about the Boquillas ranch closure/new rules. I heard they were changing things this year, but haven't heard for sure those changes are finalized or when they are supposed to be. I finally after years of applying as a resident got drawn...

Thank you Badknees, I will definaltely check out this area. I hope to go and scout during the archery season, to get familiar with area, have a chance at flinging an arrow at one, and find out how many people will be in one area vs another. Will the deer here be in the same general areas from...

I have the rifle tag nov 30-dec 9th

Thank you ed for the starting point, I will start looking there. Anyone has opinions on other areas, or whether to look at tops of mountains, bottoms of canyons, is there any rut activity this type of year (end of nov/early dec)? Anything helps.

I know I'm probably unlikely to get any secret honey holes or special free advice, but thats not really what I'm looking for. Just somewhere to start, I'm not afraid of putting my time in to get to know an area, do lots of hiking, actually I prefer it that way, farther away from other hunters...

I'll see you up there caelkhnter, drew the same tag. Never hunted coues in 33 but at least I have time to scout.

Still no one yet? I haven't got hit yet either and had a fair chance I thought. I would like to see someone that got a hit though.

Chupacabra?!

Anybody else notice the option to change your application payment on the azgfd site is now off?? Is today the day?!? I hope!! Good luck! Still shows update payment info when I go to the site, but still hope todays the day!

Well, I just wanted to report to those who helped, and I was fortunate to find much help from some really great people, that my Beaver elk hunt was a tremendous success. I got into some really great areas, and was able to close the deal on a great (in my eyes) 7x6 on opening morning. I had...

I'll be going up this weekend to scout couple more days for the Muzzy Elk season that starts Weds, just wondering if anyone had any success or tips on how the hunt went that just finished a archery or rifle hunt. I've scouted a total of 10 days so far, have a couple of places in mind, but still...

Last year they came out today at noon, its 12:02 so if not real soon then Monday maybe, maybe today after 5 pm?

well, today is the day, hopefully, good luck everyone. crossed fingers/toes

Yeah and just like Christmas, most years I get a lump of coal! lol

Anyone got a bead on when AZ will post online the draw results for deer/sheep? Still early I know, but anyone remember when they posted last year?

nada for me too, anybody remember when they mailed back refunds last year?

x2 on the barnes bullets. They are ALL I use, terrific bullets super accurate. I use the 250 gr Barnes TMZ and the 290 gr TMZ. My opinion is to skip Powerbelts and go straight to these in states where you can.

I drew Beaver Muzzy bull hunt with 3 NR points. Last year San Rafeal North archery antelope with 2 NR points. I can't believe it took 4 years to get the elk tag I got, the wait was killing me! JK :) Can't wait till September!

Thanks for the help everyone, and you know who you are! Will keep everyone on here posted on how I do, got some starting points, maps, wildlife biologists to call, scouting to do, let the fun begin! I'm so excited!

No one has hunted this area that is willing to give few pointers?

RE: What scope for a muzzleloader? I have the Nikon Omega muzzy scope on my Thompson Triumph, awesome scope, you have to shoot at different ranges to see where the bullets acutally land on the multiple circles the scope has, but once you work a load you like, find which circle to hold, you...

Fist, I've got a Thompson Triumph and love it, killed many deer and antelope with it, out to 300 yards. Excellent, light, accurate, dependable. But I considered trading for Pro-hunter for ability of different calibers, but they are pricey. Also though of trading for savage, as it seems to be...

I'm still in shock that I drew, I pretty much thought I was just putting in for another bonus point, as I only had 2 points going into draw. My moms got a tag here in AZ, so will take some carefull planning around work to put the time it takes to be succesful, but I'm jacked, now I just got to...

If your fine with 250 gr bullets, try the Barnes TSX. I've been shooting this with 90 gr 777 for years, in az we can use powered magnification, so 300 yards clean kills is a real possibility, in fact I killed a antelope dead in his tracks at 300. at 250 yards, a more repeatable range for me, I...

I've been shooting the 250 gr Barnes TSX with 90 gr 777 powder for years with much success on mule deer and antelope (even killed a antelope at 300 yards, dropped dead in tracks). I like the all copper barnes, what do you think about 275 gr barnes tsx on elk, going to Utah, so open sites should...

Just found out I drew the one and only non resident Muzzy tag in the Beaver unit in Utah! I'm stoked! Only had two bonus points, so luck was definately on my side.

Great discussion, just found out I drew the Beaver Muzzy tag (the ONE and ONLY NR tag) and have to remove my 3-9 omega scope :( and am contemplating the same, only for me, haven't shot open sights on big game in quite a while. May go for 1x scope, if I don't see difference I can always put the...

Just checked my credit card and found I got a hit, $795 for an elk tag, I got the one non resident tag for Beaver unit with a muzzleloader! I am shocked, I have 11 BP's for deer but only 2 for elk! I live in Az about 400 miles from there, won't get a guide (no offense to guides or guided but...

Just got back from Moab, got a hit! Beaver muzzy elk tag! Wow, got lucky, only two points! I'm psyched!

LAST EDITED ON Mar-29-11 AT 09:36AM (MST)[p]Just got this one back from the Taxidermist. Took a while this was from october 09, but I'm happy with the mount.
