TR0UBLE SH00TER

I got a late start to hunting. I moved to AZ from Sarasota in 2003. I've fished AZ quite a bit but only started to hunt in 2019. The main reason I decided to start was I wanted my two son's to practice some of the numerous skills and traits that hunting teaches like patience, persistence and discipline. And to have them spend as much time outside enjoying nature as possible. I did draw an early antler-less tag in a good unit my first year applying and I was successful on that hunt. And even though I did my pre-scouting and camped in the unit before hand that season, I basically shot a fish in a barrel, on morning three. I've been applying for a late, antler-less hunt closer to home the past two years and drew tags. Both of those hunts ended with my tags still in hand but I learned tons about the unit and elk scouting and hunting in general. Now, it seems to me like maybe old dad's the one out there learning some of the lessons I wanted my son's to practice while hunting and scouting. Because after two years, a lot of patience, persistence, discipline and disappointment, I think I may have a good grasp of this unit and antler-less elk hunting. Because after scouting, camping and spending countless hours on OnX I came up with a good plan A, B and C and was finally able to fill the freezer with elk meat this season, on opening morning! I'm looking forward to many more years of spending time out in nature with my boys and coming home with tasty, healthy food.

Challenge excepted! Hopefully I can formulate a good enough strategy going forward to secure a fairly constant source of elk meat for my family. Here's what a .308 Nosler Accubond 165 grain does to a set of elk lungs, at 290 yards.

Good job Lacey and dad! Welcome to CWT.

Difference is people like the Arizona wildlife manager in here have decades worth of experience and real world perspective in wildlife management and you people just have your feelings.

No offense, but your "wild" horses have the potential to hurt way more than just your little family shack rental business, ma'am.

You can respond to this page or message me.

Glad to hear she was found. Lesson learned, hopefully. Meaning the parents.

Fantastic! Love the matching smiles too.

Nice

Fantastic job fellas!

I just got back from target practice with two enthusiastic, twelve-year-old deer hunters! Man, these kids can shoot! 300 yards? No problem! And with them being fortunate enough to have the full ten-day window to hunt, I'll issue this final warning to all mature mule deer in their hunt area; You'd better find a really good hiding spot ASAP, or they might be seeing you on their dinner plates next month... Like this one last year:
