Snapshot

I helped locate some bucks for my uncle and cousin in law down in 35B, Tony took an average 3 x 4 whitetail on the last morning we were there. I glassed up a couple of nice bucks the previous evening and we went back in the morning and hiked into the head of a deep nasty canyon, and he put him down with a 330 yard shot. The 85-90" buck we were after did not show him self long enough for a shot, so he settled for the smaller of the two. Saw alot of bucks but nothing really big. We saw a search and rescue team and the coroner bring out a dead illegal alien that had been found dead by a hunter, pretty sad way to die, I hope they can find the family, Alot of alien activity in the area.

Have been scouting alot in unit 34A, lots of bucks, lots of feed, cover, water. The biggest buck scouted is "100-104" approx should be a good hunt for those with this permit. And yes, lots of rattlesnakes seen, and 2 big Gila monsters as well. Watch your step guys!

Will be looking for Bear during my turkey hunt in unit 27, mid October.

Heck of a nice buck. Who's your taxidermist?

I use 12 x 50 Docter's as my main optics for everything, great glass. You should see what fedex delivered to me today. I ordered a pair of Zhumell Tachyon 25 x 100 binos with built in tripod adapter. These things weigh 9 pounds and are as long as my forearm.I don't plan on packing them around, but to sit on trailheads and overlooks to glass the backcountry. I like the higher magniifcation glass, although if you are still hunting through thick cover the higher magnification can be a drawback, 8 power is good in the thick stuff. But for long range glassing I would go with the 12 x 50 with a lightweight tripod for extended glassing sessions. Good luck.

Scott, How the heck are you. I have talked to you in a while. I did not draw any unit 27 tags except for turkey. Unit 30 B whitetail , 5th choice. Glad you guys pulled some great tags. Good luck. Brent W. - Sahuarita

What hunt did you draw. I drew the Nov 10-19 whitetail hunt 5th choice. I have taken a mule deer in 30 b the last 2 years, 3 -4 choice I know the Dragoon area very well but not the mule mountains.
