I'm not a sheep guy, but if I had a tag i would shoot this ram. Anyone wanna estimate score? I'm trying to get an idea of what I would be happy with and where to put in. dates and times are off

+1. Yes to super point, no to super tags

So with the super bonus point you could get 1 super bonus point per year per species and it stays until you draw that species? So if I hold out for the strip I could get 2 points each year? We are going to see some unbelievable point creep.

I would look in other units besides 33 personally. 33 is the most abused unit by the G&F. Tag numbers in that unit are beyond ridiculous.

Thats mine sorry

+1 for Clay Goldman of Mogollon Taxidermy. I won't go anywhere else.

Watched it, awesome hunt. Did you guys film the turkey hunt with Sean in Mexico?

I like the new version. How do we try changing skins?

Lots of bulls smaller than last year...

1190 is the 33 muzzleloader hunt, which he has as his second choice. They had 16 of those leftover after all the leftover apps were gone through. They made the mistake, they owe you a tag.

Here are the parents:

You just started a bad habit. Have fun, I love running cams almost as much as the hunt. If you need some suggestions on camera models I can help. Also check out trailcampro.com

Better hope you don't draw the raffle tag tonight....

No updated portals on ours. I'm guessing that means a big unsuccessful if our choices are not on the new updated list.

I would have been shooting

Whats the 2 empty boxes for on the top left of the paper app?

Did you find a dead deer also?

pack into the wilderness

6a Happy Jack area has been getting pounded. Lots of puddles in all the roads.

Any more detail on how it ended with your brothers buck and the other guy putting shots on it?

If you do go the guide route, call Duwayne Adams. He's an awesome guide and a great guy.

If you can hunt the whole hunt plus 4 days before you will be fine. Take a wall tent with a stove, dress warm and have someone hold your bullets for you.

Time for some bait cameras with another one about 20 foot up a tree hidden real well.

YOU proved my point.....your 236 buck was inventoried.....so you knew it was in the area.....5 miles away is NOT that far....heck I can glass 1 mile in every direction easily from a good glassing point.....if I record a 236 inch deer then I have narrowed the unit down from 500 square miles down to maybe 10 square miles....a little more work and can eliminate about half that....bottom line is that the use of cameras on water holes is NOT fair chase...... WRONG. It wasn't narrowed down by the camera. It wasn't inventoried. You don't know how this hunt went down. The deer was found by one of the guides in person a few weeks before the hunt. They didn't realize they had the deer on camera till after the hunt. Go out and run cameras on the strip and you will see how tough it is. I don't know how much you run cameras but all the guys I've seen that are against it haven't done it enough to see exactly how difficult it is. And the guys who do run cameras pretty much all agree that it is fair chase. How many people showed up to the F&G Meeting against cameras? Boone and Crocket, Pope and Young, SCI, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, The Arizona Deer Association all agree it is fair chase. I run cameras year round, not on the strip. I have tons of animals on camera. The odds of the right animal being there during the hunt, during daylight hours with me being there and a tag in hand are slim. They just aren't that predictable.

You have every right to go put as many cameras up as they do. There are lots of hidden water sources with water in them. Lots of holes in rocks with water are around. Not all the deer are inventoried btw. My wife killed a 236 buck that the guides had 1 picture of in August at a tank 5 miles from where we killed it. Kind of a mystery deer. Have you hunted the strip? It sounds like you have a tag this year? The fact is that the strip is a money making machine for the state. If you don't want to play the game, try a different unit and hunt every year instead of waiting 20 years for a hunt.
