Just throwing this out there

[DPBB1331]

Name is Jason Von Allman; been a viewing member for a while. Don't contribute much because haven't had much to contribute.

Long story short, have been putting my son and daughter in for AZ youth hunts for last 5 years. Have drawn youth cow elk hunts 4 times and took an animal 3 of those times. They are hooked...

Daughter was finally drawn for a youth deer hunt in 18B. Have scouted twice in last 2 months, but not finding much for animals since we don't know the area real well. Have came in off of Anvil Rock Road as well as Trout Creek.....haven't seen a buck yet.

Question is....when hunt comes around, is this the areas we should focus on? Any insight would be greatly appreciated....DM's work

Pic is of Samantha from hunt a couple years ago...

I have been in that unit multiple times chasing Mule deer and Javelina. I will give you my two cents about the unit. I will send you a pm with my number if you want to talk.

Appreciate that.....we are heading out tomorrow. I am sure it will be a fun trip. Had a couple members assist with a little direction, so things are looking good. Will report back with results.

Well.....our family big game season has come to an end. Nothing but success. My kids were able to put tags on a cow elk and buck from CO and my daughter and I had a great hunt in AZ.

Not to be long winded.....but, from a parent point of view.....we had a great hunt in AZ. We were only able to hunt for three days, but it was a good three. We were in deer each day with multiple opportunities. We also got to see javelina as well as a small herd of elk. What I am most proud of is that Sam had a goal and stuck to it. She wanted something bigger than a dink or a fork and had each of those in her scope daily only to pass. "Let's hold off for something bigger Dad" was music to my ears (the processing fee was stacking up). Not only is she a great shot/hunter, but also a true sports(wo)man. Still disappointing, the only mature deer we came across was strapped to the front of a 4 wheeler...congrats to that young man, it was a good one.

I also want to thank those that responded to us for direction. Your input was very well received and appreciated.

Here is a pic of Sam's CO elk.....the freezer is full for another year!!!
