Excellent video. Thanks for sharing.

Been noticing this too when I stop and talk with guys. I’m at 3 family (daughter, dad and cousin) and 2 neighbors. Funny thing is usually guys are good and know what they’re doing when they begin showing others - I’m just hoping we can learn together!

Hoping to get some collective Wisdom / opinions. I’m debating between a friday (opening morning - but no Saturday) or Monday to get my daughter out on her first pig hunt in 34A with a leftover tag. I spent 3 days scouting down there but it was obviously off season and it was during the week. I’ve always been out at least Thursday morning before elk/deer hunts so I can get first crack before the pressure hits On Friday morning. what do y’all think about pressure and amounts of people between those two days?    thanks for any/all advice.

Thanks blood. Valid point.

Thanks Stanley. She’s pretty stoked. Been doing the online quizzes/test on her own without any encouragement from me. I’m proud of her. im with you. There’s nothing like opening morning it’s just exciting. I don’t have any solid spots down there so the habits haven’t been established. Probably just as likely to find em on Monday as Friday. I’m thinking if we can get down there Sunday afternoon we could spot the pressure and then develop a plan for Monday morning that plays away from pressure.

Thanks Ghost. Didn’t see anything during my first scout. Gonna try again in a few weeks.

Nice work amigo!

Hey y’all.  daughter got her first tag - a leftover javvy in 34a. Gonna head out 4-5-6 of January for some scouting, to learn the unit and some deer bow hunting. If anyone wants to join me shoot me a PM.

That is a great buck. First couse or not. Nice job Lefty!

Excellent work. Enjoy that pack out!

+1 for jockos book. Extreme ownership. Congrats.

Thank you Jason. Been thinking of getting some trail cams but didn’t know really how to use them.

Right on Thomas. Congrats buddy. And right on to CWT members!

Hoping to start a discussion on technique. Ive had a little success spot and stalk couse with a rifle. 3 years into archery hunting and I’ve spotted but not successfully stalked anything with my bow down here in S. AZ. spent 3 days in 6A M, T, W but had no idea what I was doing. Country was mostly flat (few cuts and small rises) with lots of tanks a riduculous amount of elk and some 100-200 foot high hills. Mostly tall ponderosa with some dense patches of oak. Didn’t find much deer sign in the flats, sat a couple tanks one evening and one morning - nothing but elk. last morning (0800) walked up a hill and found some fresh deer scat and tracks heading higher. It appeared as though a couple had bedded in a large (20x20 foot) opening 1/2 way up the hill then woke up and walked up hill? my novice N AZ hunter friends (they’ve had no success either) say they still-hunt but I know the odds of that are really low (according to Robbie Denning). so the question is simple how do y’all do the north country mule deer archery thing when you can’t spot and stalk? Or do you just find country you can spot and stalk up there?! thanks guys. Ive read as much of this forum as I can and it has been a great help.

I agree. I would definitely like to get more stalks in. Finding a buck to stalk is the challenge. I know how to do the glassing game down here in the open country. But I’m curious how y’all find the deer up north. I saw some off the road last November going back and forth to my Elk hunts and they seemed to be in cuts or gullys around oak thickets.

I called the AZGFD also. Dude said if your youth has their license and a print up of the online test having been passed they’re good to go.

Thanks catfish. PM sent.

Love those pics. Thanks for posting em.

Nice Bucks! Nuthin like huntin with your old man.

Couple weeks back was standing in front of a huge juniper stretching from the morning glassing session with the sun behind the juniper and I see this fox come trotting up the hill towards me. He doesn’t see me since the sun is behind me and the juniper. It looks like he’s got a huge chunk (as big as him) of burned log in his mouth. At 30 yards I go for my phone to take a video for the kids, he sees the movement, freaks out drops the thing in his mouth and takes off. When I go to see what it was it was the entire head off a yearling elk. Maybe been dead a day or two. I moved up ridge a bit and would alternately check the head as I was glassing and he and his buddy kept trying to sneak in there to pick it back up but never felt comfortable enough to break cover.

Could us some help from the smart guys. Got a TC 300WM synthetic stock stock gun vortex 30mm picatiny rings mounting a vortex diamondback 4-12x40 scope. Last hunt I dropped it a couple times scrambling across hillsides. Nothing that felt like a big drop but it seems off now. Always shot the same ammo and could count on sub 1 inch groups at 100 but even off a bench with a lead sled I can’t seem to get em under three inches now. So the question is where do I start with the troubleshooting? Thanks all.

Thanks y’all. Everything was tight so I’m gonna take the scope off and send it back in. See where we end up.

It’s the last of the gear I’ve been attempting to clean out for a friends reloading shed. I’m not a reloader yet.
