Well me and my brother used shoot bows all the time and go hunting growing up, he got in an accident and only has use of one arm now and can’t shoot a bow, he recently bought a crossbow so we can still hunt together and I’m glad he did, I can’t wait until he kills a deer with it too so I can post it on this website and watch all you idiots with an answer to everything that always think your right about every topic sit and talk shoot about it, you guys aren’t the only ones with opinions, and your opinions aren’t always right, neither are mine, but in some situations when people aren’t taking advantage of it , crossbows are a good thing to keep people that actually love hunting in the field, I am right about that

I will never understand why people feel entitled to hunt during the archery season when the weapon doesn't suit them anymore. I'd rather approach it by adding opportunity through traditional only seasons. Win win, more hunters hunting, killing less game or the same with WAY more opportunity. Things like Crossbows and Long Range Shooting are hurting our opportunity.

No theory at all…it’s not closed until sundown on Wednesday. That’s in the regs too…and maybe on GoHunt.

Where there's a will there's a way. Archery isn't supposed to be easy. Sorry, but when I can no longer pull a bowstring, I'll hunt with another weapon in it's proper season. What I will not do, is demand I get to still hunt in the archery only season with a weapon that is not a bow and arrow. The sad thing is, there is a place for crossbows in our season(s), much like the HAM hunts. I see more and more 'abusers' of this permit each year. This should be the next issue the commission addresses, IMO.

Dude told me his knees are bad so he needs a crossbow lmfao. I said you need a rifle and forget about archery season. People have no shame anymore

10 years old gut shot from the road Walked up to it dad was going to finish it with a knife, didn’t realize it was still THAT alive. It jumped up and stopped about 20 yards away and I took the hair off it’s back. It took off and we had to track it for a little while, jumped it again, went to shoot it off my dads shoulder and I flipped the safety back ON not knowing he flipped it off for me. Tracked it awhile further found it bedded on the opposite side of a small tree. Dad told me to shoot it through the bush you see in the picture. Me being 10 tried to look through the scope and missed it at about 6 feet. Then told to just point the barrel at it and shoot. Finally finished it off.. I’ll never live down missing that deer that close. Good memories

Kuiu. I have 3 sets. 2 Yukon, 1 Chugach.

This is hopefully an eye opener for the Department. Count me in for Mandatory Reporting for ALL species of Big Game. Enough of the guessing game.

He blamed them and said it was their fault he poached a deer. It’s the title of his thread

So that means I’m not clicking on your video!!! Thanks for the warning and fu for the non warning! Hahaha!!!!

My buddy is a firefighter out in Waddel. They get 3-5 calls for snake removal daily. This family was under an AC pedistal, I think he said 16 rattlers total.

Your damb right. And good for you and your brother. Good luck and looking forward to seeing your brothers first crossbow kill.

I can’t shoot a handgun because I have restless arm syndrome so I should be able to hunt with a rifle during handgun season. And oh yeah I can’t see well enough to tie on flys so I should be able to use night crawlers in trophy waters. Oh yeah I can’t take time off work during my hunt so I should be able to hunt whenever I want too and oh yeah I’m too fat to walk so I should be allowed to drive through the woods too. I mean really man it’s not a right to hunt every season. If you can’t use the equipment for the season then hunt a different season. Send a note to the commission to ban xbows and airbows during archery season. Use them to your hearts content during the general hunts.

Being that anti's can "save a deer" for $80, I don't trust the current call in method of reporting. Need to modify the mandatory reporting to include carcass inspection by AZGF.

Big muleys like the flats . Especially during the rut. The older bucks tend to move down lower away from the younger ones that want to fight over does. Normally you won't see them with more then one or a couple older does .This was taken in 37b in December of 2018 archery

It’s going to need some motor work. I don’t have the time. And if I did a motor it Would be a crate. And then the divorce would be unavoidable. 😇😅

This is 0% gohunts fault. And I hate those websites because they bring out of state hunters here who are flat too lazy read the regulations.

Then I’m an idiot and so are all the people I fished with growing up. I always thought it was dumb seeing guys switch hands after casting.

Looks a lot like my dad’s that I learned on. When I was a kid we called it his “worm rod” since he usually fished plastic worms with it. Left-handed so it was like cranking a spinning reel…still doesn’t feel right when I use a right-handed casting setup. LoL

Swing like a girl.

I'm a huge proponent on cracking down on the 2 week rule - the woods should not be free storage and we all have gone up 2, 3 + weeks apart and seen the same abandon trailer sitting there. Those jerks dominating those spots puts more pressure on new spots to be 'opened up' and more and more habitat misused or people pulling in and camping on top of you - not my idea of fun either. Tkt them after 2 and tow after 3 if you ask me.

Anyone hunting Camp Navajo this fall? I got super lucky and drew the only non-resident tag for the first archery hunt. My packet is submitted and should be authorized into the Limited Area; so hoping to see some nice bulls. But first time; so steep learning curve with only one weekend of scouting allowed, and not sure if I'll get to scout the Limited Area either.

Good day, everyone! I got an out of state cow tag for 8-14 October. I’ve hunted unsuccessfully there back in 2012 and was a helper for a buddy in 2011, and am extremely excited to return to the base to hopefully fill the freezer. I’m currently filling out my forms for the Limited Area, but I never went in during the two years I went. I have a crossbow because of an old shoulder injury and plan on using that. Also carrying a muzzleloader in case I find some outside the LA during scouting. Any intel on good areas inside the LA? Also, I’m starting to come up with a plan for meat just in case. I want to have things deboned and packaged by the time I head out, and was curious if anyone had any tips on how to ensure it keeps for a multi-day trip home. really enjoy reading these forums. Thanks and I’m looking forward to seeing the beautiful mountains again.
