If you can't beat em, join em. Go hunt other states before the entire US is draw only for non-res. Every state has the same complaints and they aren't because of "youtube stars" only.

Well it's that time of year again. If you're anything like me you spend most of your time thinking about the up coming draw. Looking over old pics and videos reliving past hunts. Staying up searching for new potential honey holes on Google Earth. Trying to figure out where to put in for ect ect.... I love it! It's also that time of year when I like to make youtube videos and share them with my fellow coues nuts on CW.COM. I just finished putting together a video of my cousin's 2020 Dec hunt where he got his biggest buck to date this beautiful 4x5. The hunt started off slow with us being fogged in most of the morning. It wasn't until around 10am the fog would finally start lifting. Shortly after the fog clearing we found his buck about a mile out feeding with another buck. We watch him for awhile trying to figure out if he was a opening day shooter or not. To be honest I was hoping my cousin wouldn't want to go after him not because I didn't think he was a good buck but because I didn't want to be done hunting so early. After about an hour the bucks ended up dropping down in a small canyon out of sight. Not knowing exactly where they went we knew our chances of relocating the buck was not very good but we still decided to go after him. So we packed up and a couple hours later we found ourselves overlooking the canyon where we last saw the buck. We spent the next 3 hours taking apart the canyon with little luck. Only finding 4 or 5 does and one small buck. We did glass up a 4 point shed which we later found out was from this buck which was pretty cool. Anyways just when I thought we weren't going to relocate the buck Dallas turned him up across the canyon at about 300 yards and the rest is history. Video link should be below check it out if you got the time. Apparently it's not as good as I thought because the last time I checked it already had one dislike with only 10 views. Let me know what you think. Is this video really worthy of a thumbs down or did a vegan just happen to stumble across it? Thanks!

I must be behind the times, as I am just now learning this. AZGFD pays, with money collected from us, YouTubers and "celebrity" hunters to hunt our state. What a crock of schit!

San tan valley, qc and SE Gilbert have been getting it hard, hail too for a little while.

Bring it!

Let’s do it!

Unit 8 late rifle bull for my 11 year old as well as 36a Dec coues. December 3a/3c mule deer for me.

Wind drift is a factor with lr muzzle loaders, just have to practice with your rifle to get it down. If the conditions are windy, it severely affects my range.

Miss the old days when a dude would go hunt and not have to have a camera in hand. This whole romanticizing hunting is played out. hunting media is saturated af. With that said Any recommendations on editing software.

BHA is G🌈Y

now a 4 post wonder comes to the defense of these guys...scammer!

Not saying I support G&F paying hunting "celebrities" to encourage NR's to hunt our state but a big reason it is harder to draw tags in AZ is due to our population growth. AZ had 2.4 million people in 1980 and now we have 7.7 and that is expected to grow another million by 2030. Non-residents should never be allowed to buy any big game tag over the counter when resident big game hunting opportunities are getting fewer and far between.

I'd rather see g&f spend a little on hunter Ed courses to promote hunting in az.

You don't find it ironic Buzz, that your bud Randy, whose platform is public lands hunting and opportunity, just took money from a state he's not a resident of, and literally reduced public land hunt opportunity?

Buzz Off!

Lake Michigan has excellent fishing for coho, Chinook, Lakers, Browns, rainbows, smallies. There's a lake or river ~every 15 miles in Wisconsin, lots of opportunities for fishing boating and swimming. Probably cost a lot less than anywhere in the PNW and I doubt you'll run into too many hippies. https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/Fishing/anglereducation/wheretofish https://www.vrbo.com/484767 https://wildmanranch.com/ https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/parks/kms

Tell us on the doll where he hurt you with his sales tactics? Guess we should all become communists so you can tell him what he can sell his stuff for. Jesus.

Yes, finding beds and droppings is always good. As hot/dry as it has been deer pellets will be hard as a rock in a day. Tracks last a long time in dry conditions. Without rain or wind to degrade the sharpness of a track it can be a tough call. Use your own footprints as a gauge for what a smoking fresh track looks like. Many animals nipple/chomp on prickly pear fruit and pads. Deer, not so much. Primary diet of deer is mast, forbs and browse not grass. I applaud your commitment to scouting and learning.

October 36A Muzzleloader was my first ever tag, started the season after a Mr. Adams glassing lesson, reading every book and forum post I could find, and spoke to anyone I could. ultimately it was the months before the season driving and walking around that eliminated the area and the time of deer. I found my bachelor group in lateAugust about 10 weekends into starting to look at the unit ... then spent the next 8 weeks coming up with a plan and learning everything I could by watching them and losing them in front of my eyes. I started hunting quail for 2 seasons before the muzzleloader. Grabbed my first dove this season, have an archery tag and bought a federal duck stamp last week. The more I learn about the desert he more I just love it out here. Life prevented putting in for the draw this year, but with archery and small game I’m still heading out and dropping pins and picking cactus out of my shin. i was lucky enough to have a great series of conversations with forums members here before and during my hunt. I’m addicted as evidenced by buying a bow because I wasn’t going to be able to wait 12 months. I cannot recommend Duwane’s glassing lesson enough.. not just because he grounds you in the important use of the glass, but also because he is genuinely a good person who’ll answer novices questions with great detail. I’d also recommend the book above.. the stories are great and the info is solid. Jay Scott and Duwane have spoken on the podcast a ton.. search and listen to those episodes. keep hiking and learning.. im too new to offer anything other than encouragement, but this forum and these hunters have been a great resource for me personally. ed

I have known many men who were involved in bloody combat across Europe, on South Pacific islands, and in Korea and Vietnam, including several who suffered horrible wounds. To my knowledge, not one of those men bragged about killing the enemy, nor did any say he wanted to do nothing else. Although I thank God that it was never required of me, I do have the heart and balls to do whatever is necessary to protect my family, friends and country. Bill Quimby
