WhtMtnHunter

Had this same hunt a few years ago. My best friend made it up for a week and was with me when I finally tagged out after 21 days. Little did I know that it would be his last big game hunt. So many great memories up there. My advice is buy, borrow, or rent a tracked vehicle( snowmobile or UTV) and go the opening 4-5 days to the trick tank/salt lick at the west end of the 268 road. They always kill 2-3 good bulls in the first few days at the far west end of the hunt area but you will have to typically get thru some deep snow to get there. After that first 4-5 days I would wait until the last 2 weeks of the hunt and go at it hard. There is no way to avoid the guides, hopefully you only have to deal with 1 or it could get ugly. There is a fakebook group you can join if you want more up to date info, just keep in mind that some of the things posted there are not entirely accurate and may be intended to deter DIY hunters. Good luck! Hope you get a great bull!

Wow, after all those years of decimating the unit 33 population they actually have hunts with 150 tags? They used to have several hunts of 750+ tags each. Maybe in a few years it will become a premiere unit again! Buy a lion tag!

Going guided, co-op, or DIY? Might help narrow down relevant info to give

Haven't been used in years but still fairly good glass and getting hard to find. 10x40's with soft case. Flagstaff. SOLD

Anyone there?

PMd you, thanks

Got an Ironwood 650 on sale about 6 months ago. Absolutely love it! Never realized that it would completely replace our oven, literally haven't used the inside oven for months. Has a max temp of 500 which is great. It does eat lots of pellets though, kind of a unexpected expense but totally worth it.

Still shoot my 20 year old Switchback LD! Love that thing. Good luck with your search.

Bought this bow new, both kids started on it and quickly moved to full size bows. Adjusts from 17-30" draw. Can drop the weight down to about 15# i believe, and up to about 50#. Comes with the sight shown, 5 pin. No rest. Shoots nice. Have some older arrows if you want them. $100 Flagstaff.

I drew a leftover unit 1 Antelope Mtn cow tag about 10 years ago. Nothing since, gave up a few years ago. You get lucky?

Lo Jack.

I've had 4 SuperDuty's stolen. 3 went to Sasabe/Three Points to run drugs and were recovered in west Phoenix 3-4 weeks later. Cartel gangbangers love them because they are easy to steal, tough, and haul lots of fentanyl/cocaine! I put a tracker on the 4th one stolen and DPS caught the bastard. I don't think he served any time though. Car theft isn't a big deal in AZ.

These guys out on the west side of Phx make something similar. https://www.esparzascontainers.com/canopies

New ATF rules are kind of ambiguous but I think the buffer tube now has to be incapable of having a brace attached(ie a straight tube) for it not to be considered an SBR. Of course it probably all depends on the ATF agent.

With the snow level this year that early hunt might be tough again! Is AZGFD still running cameras up there?

My old man bought me a butler bag about 30 years ago when they were still based in Kingman. Have spent hundreds of nights in it and its still going strong. Love it

Casey's is the way to go. He has never taken more than a week to call for pickup, usually 3-4 days even when busy like now. Plus I like his old school butcher paper wrapping, lasts forever in the freezer.

The AZGFD commission is gonna look a lot different in 4 years with the new woke wolf lovers in charge.

Guess I missed this. New section of the portal bonus point breakdown. $150 for residents, $300 for non residents to watch basically a youtube video and get a permanent point? wow. https://www.azgfd.com/hunting/eha/

Got charged for 44 turkey tags, all at once. $1100!

Are you in there during shed hunting season? Lots of ATV's in there during that time. Also the rancher has full run of the place to run ATV's, UTV's, and Trucks anywhere he wants in the Woolhouse. I've 'heard" you can pay a ranch hand $100 to retrieve an elk with his Polaris Ranger. Don't really need an ATV in 3B. Very very doubtful you will need chains either unless we get another once in 30 years winter, but you never know!

How much do you want to spend? Probably gonna want to find something on or near Porter Mtn Road.

I know you are looking for used, but we bought one like this made by Zeny from Amazon several years ago. I think it was about $125. Use it twice a year to make about 30-40 pounds of sausage each time. Pays for itself every time we use it. Absolutely love it. Cranks out summer sausage like no tomorrow. 2 speeds is nice too. eBay sausage stuffer

Its definitely one place where they love to hoist the colours on the way back to dock.
