Saw lots of real nice bulls. One was easy 400+ but he was smart and wasnt staying in one spot. Never saw another hunter where we hunted the whole hunt and I hunted the same spot from opening day to the last day. It was my second archery hunt ever, first was antelope the month before (I got very lucky last year with tags). I missed two bulls, ruined 2 pairs of boots, and found 3 horns and a dead head. I learned a lot chasing them with my bow. Saw a really sweet freak antelope buck and an absolute giant heavy goat there too. One of the bulls I should have hit was a nice heavy 5x5, he was the smallest bull we saw on the entire hunt. I will most definitely put in for that hunt again but I spend prolly 250 days a year in unit 1 so it's not an out of the way place for me. I dont believe the quality of bulls has dropped there, I think when there 250 hunters by Big Lake and 48 on the 96 rd I can see how people say the hunts not very good. But I will definitely put in for that hunt again.

Met my son Thursday morning around 10 to start our Javelina hunt, my 4th hunt for them and his first time. We set up camp and managed to squeeze in an afternoon glassing session but didn't turn anything up. Friday we spent the whole day glassing and moving locations from higher to lower elevations, finally turning a few up late in the afternoon within stocking distance, we got in front of where we thought they were headed and sure enough 3 of them come by us at 35 yards, i range it for my son and tell him to take him if he can he draws back and releases missing to the left, they take off but not in a big hurry so we watch them move off into a different valley as the sun is starting to set. We decide to leave them alone and go back in the morning to see if they are out feeding in the sunshine, sure enough Saturday morning i glass up not 3 but 9 of them out feeding, we make a plan to get on the ridge above them and drop over the top. It worked perfectly as the wind was in our favor and they had no idea we were there, the first one comes walking by and my son puts an arrow through it at probably 16-18 yards, i sneak about 20 yards farther down the hill and peek over to see the rest of the herd standing at 20-30 yards, i pick out one broadside at 22 yards and put an arrow through both shoulders. We found my son's right away but could not find my arrow or any blood, after about a 30 minute search my son yells out "i know why we cant find your arrow....its still stuck in him" he was laying probably 10 feet from my sons javelina in the brush. It was an awesome hunt and no one i would rather do it with than my son. Thanks jim for giving me a few places to try, although we didn't make it to any of his recommended spots its nice to know people are willing to help others out.

A few pics from last week.

This is correct. To add a little detail, 38% of the people with 8 Points were drawn in the bonus. Without a doubt most if not all of these applicants were residents. You had to have 11 to be in the 100% category. Non-residents probably started dropping out at 10 points. Given that I would say at least 8 maybe 9 this year for a resident to have a chance in the bonus pass. Odds go up from there.

Going strong in the top of the White Tanks. Saw 8 different bucks today, all with does. Watched a big boy at 1000+ w. 10 does, dogging one hard, and chasing off a smaller buck. Had a dumb one at 40 yards, just hanging with the does.

In Tucson we have many types of criminals, illegals, leftists, antis, drug addicts, idiots, and that is only the mayor and council. Add in the board of stups and enviro wackoos. Tucson is a perfect example of what happens when dems take over and bring their socialism from mexico and kali. Tucson is a "welcoming city".

Had a great trip to Mexico and killed some great bucks. I should have killed this buck. I found him bedded in the shade tending a doe and had my brother shoot his biggest buck. I'm happy for him I made a great stalk on a cool buck and literally missed him 2 times at 20 yards. My plan was if I didn't find a good buck than I wanted to shoot one with my bow. Last morning I actually found a buck that I wanted. After a little rodeo and him soaking up 3 bullets he was done. Killed a good Tom as bonus One of my favorite things about Mexico

Kitchen remodel huh! PM me when you need a good divorce attorney. sorry I had to.

Ya, I drew that hunt 4 years ago with only 3 points. From my point of view, after the "bonus pass", it seems the point pool is so diluted that it is really just a crap-shoot. There is always hope for us 2-3 bonus-pointers!.

the poverty is real.

I have a older Winchester I’d let go for $100. Send me a message if interested.

Some solid bucks right there. Your brothers deer is one of the coolest bucks I have seen in a while. Great job all around!

Better body count than what I had originally read, I had saw only 8 dead. Someone's doing good up there! 7 points in the Bonus Round!

Man, this topic went south fast! Love it! I am a horse owner and grew up in a ranching family and I HATE the feral horse plague. Cattle are regulated. When a cow escapes, the rancher loses money. Does it still happen? Yes. There are a lot of people that make money rounding up rogue cattle and selling them because the have monetary value. Horses are not native, plain and simple. AZBH88, do you shed a tear when you see people mowing down herds of FERAL hogs? If horses looked like hogs, nobody would blink an eye if they were shot

I have one I am going to sell. I am in Mesa as well. I'll PM you.

I have said it before. Feed them to the inmates in the state prisons. Win win for everyone.

It’s pretty popular in Italy and France. But what do they know about good food, right

Guaranteed it’s better than duck.

They’re just as edible.

Only 20 percent of tags apply to max bonus point holders. Leaving 80 percent of the tags to random draw. I play the 80 percent. When I win I thank the hunt gods. When I lose I still thank the hunt gods. I have meat in the freezer and worn out camo. Some guys have camo that still smells new and eat chicken nuggets and think they are bad a$$ when they finally post a pic of a 350 plus bull. Many poeple have forgotten the meaning of hunting.

I killed my Idaho moose from a boat. There it just has to not be under power, which since we were floating a river is essentially never. Saw plenty I could have shot right from the boat but was off of it when I killed my bull coolest pack out ever though!! I really wanna hear the story behind this and a NM hunt!
