Just watched an episode of meat eater and he was in the wetstones. Watch it and you can see what the country looks like .

Are you going to tow it or do u need it delivered and set up

Thanks for all you input I appreciate it and am still undecided but you guys have been tons of help

Can definitely glass not tons of roads on the east side and west side takes a long time to get to north side no roads and a few on south side I would definitely get down there if you can and check it out before your hunt. If you have time . I think it is one of az hidden gems of a unit . You can go in at French Joe's get to the back and hike and glass lots of deer back there

Anyone out there know of a tripod a 6'6'' guy can glass with while standing up?

I don't know if anyone has said this yet but I was told if you are setting up a blind on a tank or water source submerge the blind in the water before setting it up so it helps with scent control

Sweet truck great price and low miles

Look at the azgfd website under where to hunt it will give you a good starting point or a few . As far as maps you can get forest service maps or flat line maps or use onx. Good luck awesome unit

Are you a lineman? Or work for srp?

How big is a Southern Arizona mule deer home range ? (excluding the rut) Is it fairly small like a coues deer? If i find some good mule deer bucks should i be able to find them in the same general area if nothing changes food .. water .. pressure.. Thanks in advance

They are both hard to find for me lol .. I will keep at it and hopefully one day get it figured out.

Yea I have been trying to relocate these bucks for the last 2 evenings.. where I saw them it was very thick mesquite trees so I have not been able to find them. I am pretty sure I know where they get water so yesterday I glassed the surrounding area but still did not find them.. I will keep looking they are the best looking bucks I have personally seen in this particular spot and it's easy for me to get to so its easier to spend time looking for them .

wow thats some country to cover.

good job on the buck also was a good pod cast about the hunt thanks for sharing.

i was just up there working for a few months lots of critters . got on some good deer in aug just could not seal the deal . great job nice buck

great job

Any gunsmiths or just people that know how to work on guns around the vail area ? I have a shotgun that needs a little bit of work. The shell ejector came loose it's just 1 screw but I have tried to fix it but has not worked out for me. If anyone wants to do a small job let me know

nicks boots . its like the swaro of boots . way more expensive but hand made to your foot . i am a lineman so i hike at work a lot and my nicks are by far my favorite boots. what i would do is google wild land fire boots like nicks .. whites. scarpa . those are the boots we wear also if those fire fighters wear them they must be good .

great buck congratulations

have you looked into ruger american predator https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/84839/Ruger+AMERICAN+7MM-08+MTBLK

Any az unit 34a or 34b hunters on here? I moved to Vail about 2 years ago and have been spending some time in both. What are your thoughts on the units? This side of both units got extremely dry but we have been getting some good late rains. stock tanks are filling back up and grass is finally getting green.

Let us know how it goes

Good luck on your hunt where are you flying in from

Great pics . I agree with you.. there are spots with more deer.. in your opinion is the units getting better or worse .. I know there are more roads in both now then there was a few years ago . I also know more people go to them tto ride,shoot etc.. and in the near future there will be even more because they sold 200 acres on I 10 and 83 and they are building houses .. so I'm not sure how bad it will get but we will see..

I am looking to get my wife a great all around rifle for AZ big game. Lets just say i have a $2000.00 budget for rifle and scope. I would like the set up good to about 500 yards. I don't want the recoil to be too much where she doesn't want to shoot. Also i would like it to be as light as possible. So any recommendations ? thanks for your time
