Arizona is beautiful.

Messed up on pic adding. That first one was random out of my bivy sack

Thank You Guys. Putting in time now in 8 and having a blast.

Thanks for the tips Sourdough. We’re going unit 8 because my buddy is a little partial to it. He’s had good luck out of there. I’m pushing the bivouac camping style and this spot is in the middle. We can get semi close with the truck and just get in 3-5 to camp and if anything goes wrong, the truck Isn’t that far. Baby steps. My buddy hasn’t camped like that. He’s always had a camper or drove home each evening and this is my first hunt but I’ve done tons of bivy style living out of my ruck. Looking forward to it. Going to be a little chilly at night. Happy Holidays Guys

I get it. No worries. OTC Deer. Thinking about getting a bear tag just in case. I don't know if it's worth it. Leaving day after Christmas. I'm all over OnX free trial right now. I checked out that where to hunt. I've checked all the sites people suggest. I'm putting together a list and trying to make an order. I'd like to hike in for the whole week and not have to go back to the truck and keep trying spots. Our first stop is Sycamore Canyon and then I'm thinking parking off the 89 and heading west to the Tule Basin Hells Pocket area. I have a big pack and MRE's. I'll keep going till I find something.

I don't keep guns around anymore. My wife bought me a bow last Valentines day. I'm completely hooked and going on my first trip with a friend to Unit 8 in Arizona. I've searched threads, watched a ton of YouTube videos. I have no expectations other than enjoying the woods and escaping the rat race for a week. I've noticed this site has decent guys that give info to new guys sometimes. Can anybody please point me in the right direction or give some tips? So far I've found people talking about Whitehorse Lake & Glass Canyon, Southern areas near the Verde, Cedars near Drake and Pine Flats, The Sultana and Rd11 & Elk Mountain. Anything would be awesome. If not no worries. I'll put the time in, in the bush either way. Happy Holidays
