    Shipping Taxi when Travelling to hunt.

    I would not be so quick to believe only AZ taxidermist can mount coues deer and do a great job. If he has a great taxidermist then he needs to know the best method to ship cape to him. That is not to say he should Not get it mounted in AZ. PLENTY of shoddy work in AZ as well. There are some great taxidermist here too. By the way any taxidermist can buy great coues deer forms. Trufitt supply house has some of the best coues forms.

    Plenty of good AZ taxidermist but shipping mount home will get $$$$$ i would freeze it wrap in cheap Home Depot pink insulation put it box with a pound of dry ice and three day ship it to your taxidermist.

    6a bull rifle nov 30-dec 6

    just go to the nasty canyons...the big bulls are looking to get away from the cows and just recover...get a decent set of glass and MUST GET TRIPOD...sit your butt on a lookout and glass glass glass.....on the late hunt if your spot a bull he will not move much and you can develop a plan to move in on him....fossel creek, wet beaver....they will both have big bulls in them....you just need to find them and have a good pack to debone and haul out the meat, cape and rack....You might want to precoordinate with someone that has mules to help haul it out...

    Min draw weight for elk

    Sorry I should have been clearer. Not legal poundage of ethical poundage. As in would you not shoot an expandable under XX pounds for elk... etc

    Min draw weight for elk

    What you think is a good min draw weight to hunt elk in AZ? Min for expandable and min for cut on contact?

    Looking for a .243

    Well if you want a super accurate rifle and would not mind a synthetic stock, ruger American predator rifle.... I just picked up my 4th. I have 2 in 6.5 creed 1 in 223 and one in 6 Creedmoor which is a supped up 243 all shoot 1/2 or better

    Shed season

    Thoughts? States around us are establishing a shed season. Efffect on AZ is people from those states now hit AZ. DEER AND ELK are pressured from August - April through hunting and shed hunting. Just when bulls and bucks need to recover from rut and winter people are then in looking for browns. It would be nice to give them a break a maybe have a shed season open in may or jun. thoughts?

    People and game cameras.

    Not sure what I said indicates I don’t get out or hunt much.... fact is I hunt a lot.... I’d love to hunt seeps or off the road and that works for late elk hunts but right now bulls are running with a bunch of cows and bulls will walk right past a seep to hit a tank so they can get right in the water and cool off and wallow.... and every tank has a road right to it. So when I am watching 50 hit a tank then when would we not sit it???? I would not in a million years drive a quad right into a tank opening day of elk archery season especially with the likelyhood there is a good chance someone waited 6-10 years to draw that tag!!!!!!!

    People and game cameras.

    Just thought I’d get on and complain some more so AZDIAMONDinHeat could tell me how dumb I am......This time I’D like to thank the stupid guy that decided that he needed to check hid game camera opening day of elk season AT PRIME TIME. Not my tag but the guy I was helping was sitting the hole, Truck parked 1/2 mile on road up from tank so this idiot drives his quad right past the truck up to the tank walks down to check camera. Buddy gets out of blind and asks what he is doing. Says he is checking his camera!!! Really??? prime time just prior to sunset and he needs to check his camera NOW!!!! Just another reason I hate trail cameras. Jerk could have checked camera at noon or atleast had the common courtesy not to drive in to a tank that had a truck park near it at prime time.......unbelievable. Did I mention I hate trail cams.....
