Is there a price listed that I’m not seeing?

It was a tough hunt.6 days out there, shot the only buck I saw. Habitat is different over there, some awesome looking Coues area we were in produced not one whitetail. I think one of the mistakes I made was I was heck bent on hunting the way I do here in az, glassing and stalking, and i think in that unit they’re in the thick, un glassable stuff. Feel free to pm any questions you have, I’ll be out there again this year giving that unit one more shot, but if I can’t figure out a better area, I’ll be putting in elsewhere next year... did see plenty of elk, bears, and mulies but the Coues were almost nowhere to be found where I was

I’m guessing in regards to the lack of 36b, that out of staters are reading adams’ book and putting in based off what it says. If I recall correctly, it says in it that 36b is the best Coues unit in az

Awesome glass! Only second to swaro he.Should go quick!

Right I understood that part. Thanks fellas

Got it thanks catfish! So that’s only an issue if you have the points to guarantee your second choice? Am I following that right?

Can you explain to me creed why they wouldn’t have been considered?

Shhhhh

I don’t know who’s losing sleep, just kinda a fun topic. It is a little bit like how people that come to southern az from somewhere without rattlers think there’s probably one under every rock or in every patch of grass haha

Also, we have a friend that’s a guide in Alaska. Few years back he killed a grizzly with his 10mm. It wasn’t charging but it was getting way too close and kept coming. Smaller bear, about 4-500 lbs.He also told me a story about someone in his family dropping a charging 9 foot grizzly with his colt 1911 shooting soft lead ball ammo. If it really comes down to it, I think you’re gonna have to get real lucky, or convince it to turn

Here’s the conclusion I came to when I went to Alaska. 1)most likely nothing smaller then a 12ga shooting a good slug will stop a determined grizzly consistently.2) I’m not going to carry a long gun around on a regular basis 3)ANY handgun is going to be marginal at best. Look up the numbers, even a .50 handgun ranks surprisingly low energy wise compared to even smaller rifle calibers 4)a 10mm with a good bullet has just as much energy as a .41 mag 5)I can get 3-4 aimed shots off for every 1 with my red hawk .44 mag. Thats 3-4x chance to hit something to change the bears mind. Minus a miracle shot, chances are the bears not gonna drop. You gotta turn it.6) glock is much much easier and more comfortable to carry at all times then big revolver. 7)16 rounds vs 6. 😎 bear spray really is your best defense, until it’s not. Wind in face, 2nd encounter etc. I carried bear spray and glock 20 with 220 gr hard cast underwoods

Of what’s been mentioned, 4Runner by a mile. Get the 3.4 or the 22re and you’re golden

Looks like more to carry with no benefit. No thanks. Might be cool on a nerf bow though

I drew a 24 Coues tag... was a tough hunt last year...shot a buck, but was rough. I swore I wasn’t going to put in for that hunt again, but after all the effort I put in learning the unit, figured I’d give it one more shot

Best advice I can give is to start reading on this site, there are literally thousands of topics you can read up on to start getting an idea of how to hunt. You’ll get more info doing that that anyone can possibly give you in a post or 2

Wonder if it’ll be before April 24.... if I remember correctly results came out about a week before the posted date last year...

I think there are gonna be a lot of disappointed people if they actually believe this.... as if just not drawing isn’t disappointing enough...

I read that on another site on April fools day...

I’ve been running around with a recurve for the first time this year. Whole different animal, that’s for sure. I have a 55 lb southwest archery spyder xl, and am shooting 31” 300 spine gold tips and 175 gr woodsmans. Seems to shoot nice to me but I don’t have any higher end bows to compare to

Just ordered mine, looking forward to getting it!

Maybe I took it wrong, I read it as don’t worry about making a great first shot, just worry about taking multiple shots... which in my opinion would be terrible advice. My apologies if that’s not what you meant

What?! Can’t say I agree with that one

Yep they’re up

My brother and I got hit last night and this morning
