How’d everyone do in 8 the last few weeks?

We got a warning from BLM that our trailers were gonna have to be moved. It was a 2 week limit and they were gonna have to be moved 30miles minimum. We called the BLM LEO and explained that we’re not squatters and we’re occupying and scouting for upcoming hunts. LEO was very cool and reasonable and allowing us to stay through the end of the hunts. Squatters are a problem for sure, and people using the forest as a storage unit.

What site is that? I need some and that looks pretty hot

From my understanding and chats with Azgfd, they will not be splitting up the dates. If the harvest is reached in august, the December and January seasons will be closed.

Congrats!!! Would love to chat with ya. -Bob Dykeman ShadowValleyOutfitters 9289253437

If hiring a guide is what you’re thinking, I’d find one you wanna hunt with first and then apply based on their recommendations. Get on their list for when ya draw so it’s a simple phone call instead of scrambling looking for reputable guide. Also, get references for the actual guide you’re going to hunt with, not just the outfit. Biggest mistake I see people make. good luck!!

Very tough hunt on the strip this year. Killed 1 archery buck that was 205+ in 13b. Rifle was very tough, deer spread out and numbers down. Killed 4 bucks, all old which was the goal. the guys in 13a killed an awesome old deer on the rifle hunt. The summer rains filled a lot of waters and the feed looked fantastic. Very low fawn survival though. We’ll have to see what things look like next year, I’m not super optimistic.

I’ve got a 30-30 I’d let go. Nothing special. I bought off of CW probably 6yrs ago and I’ve never shot it shoot me a text if your interested. bob 9289253437

My point was under the definition of the AZGFDs fair chase, how is 24hr surveillance of water holes fair chase? No I’m not asking what your definition is or anyone else’s here. I’m going by what their definition is. Now, do I agree with it? To a point yes. There are absolutely problems areas, strip, 9, kaibab, this, my opinion, can’t be argued. Do I think the Coues guys running cams on salt in the back country is a problem, no. But something needed to be done about the problems. And this was their solution.

With the current drought conditions we have, how can 24hr monitoring of water sources be considered fair chase? It pays respect to the traditions of hunting and angling by emphasizing the development of an individual’s skills rather than reliance on practices or technologies that overwhelm the quarry’s ability to elude detection or take.

Will never walk around big game hunting with one in the chamber. And neither will a client of mine, have had some pretty heated arguments about this in the past. Too many things can go wrong. If you don’t have time to chamber a round then ya don’t have time to accurately assess the situation. Happy hunting

200$ each or 375$ for both. OBO.

Thought I’d share some of our success in 13b this year. It was a phenomenal year for antler growth and we’re sure looking forward to the rifle hunts. Good luck to all with tags this year.
