    Polaris Ranger Bed Extension

    Where are you located? I have a 2019 Ranger with one I don't use much anymore. It's the lock kind on the top of the bed rails. Not sure if it fits. I'm in Tucson area.

    Antler Shot Off?

    Sorry for hijack. Target Buck #1- Dead buck #2 - Sheds of target buck and damaged cape- I wasn't even looking for his sheds and stumbled upon them later that year. It was an unreal find and closed the chapter into what happened.

    Antler Shot Off?

    Two years ago my target buck was intact a week before opener. Opener comes, glass him up, he's missing his right side from his brow up. Devastated. Thought it was shot off, etc. Three days later I killed my #2 buck in same basin. My #2 buck had stab wounds and marks on his neck that looked like antler scrapes. I got suspicious they had a tussle. I verified that was the case when I found my #1 bucks sheds. Antler was not shot off but was a very irregularly broken with no bullet evidence. Break was up and down, not from a shearing bullet. Buck #2 is on wall, with buck #1's sheds next to him. Buck #2 was mounted as he was with cape damage from antler. For some reason they got into it. This is my long winded version of it can happen this early because I've seen it. Combined with this year's conditions and I bet it wouldn't take much this year for breakage. Bunch if ways he could have gotten broke including a bullet.

    Need Help.. Missed biggest deer of my life

    Sounds like bad data in or out or a unit of measure issue. 2 different scopes doing same thing doesn't sound mechanical. Sure you somehow didn't zero stop a full revolution of elevation dial off somehow after last range session?

    New meat processor - Tucson

    Just FYI - these guys just opened up and are fully permitted. In the Three Points area. Thought some folks would want to know about it due to the WGP log jam at times. https://www.facebook.com/CouesRidgeCustom/

    Arizona Desert

    It's been a rough week. I've been out doing the same thing you are. It just takes one opportunity, but you know this. These desert bucks are fickle, days too hot they feeding at 430. Days perfect, in a wash all day. It's a grind any desert flats deer hunt prior to January, on average....

    Is that the EMP bed cover? If so, how'd it do with dust. GLWS. Nice ride.

    Good luck bro. Those desert bucks will test how bad you want to be out there for sure. But rewards can be big.....

    Any illegal action down south this year on deer hunts

    There are a bunch of water and food drops for them around those hills. I've seen them..

    Fawn crop

    I can tell you this, the fawn crop is extremely poor this year, for coues and mule deer in southern Arizona at least. Very few. I've been out 43 days thus far. How does the mid part of the state look?

    Great job...I ran into you last summer at the Three Points range and you were talking to me about your tag. Glad you had such a great hunt...

    Good news...

    Fawn crop

    Would think the same on paper. But it ain't so at least on the 36's.. In fact, totally coincidental, listen to Jay Scott's recent podcast with Duwayne that I happened to find on the way home today..

    Stickers in pants help.

    I got into a ton of that crap this year. I switched to carharts temporarily until they drop. Doesn't stick to them ..

    Youth hunt velvet

    I'm glassing and hunting in 36a for a bud, all bucks, 80's+ still in velvet. Still still haven't seen a hard horn.

    36A Muzzleloader Help

    There's deer everywhere but they haven't moved much at all the last few days during daylight. I've been in there too. This morning was zero movement. Yesterday was better but only very first thing and very last thing. Glass thick bottoms/cuts very early/late coming out of any of the hills in the unit and be ready to make a stalk fast.

    Youth hunt velvet

    Yep - on two nice bucks tonight. Set up on them helping a buddy out. Didn't come out until too late for scope as it was 90 degrees today. Both nice bucks, full velvet. Southern AZ. Haven't seen a single buck hard yet. No signs of getting itchy either but it's any day....

    Youth hunt velvet

    As of 2 days ago both bucks I'm watching over 100+ were in full velvet in southern AZ....
