Treat every gun as if it were loaded. Whoever shot his friend was being an idiot.

In the chamber

Dude that’s crazy are you gonna be alright? I was in Mexico fishing this past weekend and we met a local who had nearly lost his whole arm to a recluse bite.

24b is one of the closest units to the valley and it had leftover tags in 2018 to give you an idea of the quality of that hunt. It’s a really tough unit.

good looking ram

feel the bern right

go on...

my friends who are members here spotted this buck saturday night but was too late to go after it. they figured it was about 85." I went back on Tuesday with my Dad to the same spot, not specifically looking for that deer but figured if i did see him id probably try to shoot him. there was a couple guys already there. we moved down the road a ways and started glassing a different area but i could still glass back and see some of the original spot. we saw does but no bucks. at about 8:30am when the sun broke through the clouds I spotted him 2200 yards away. we drove around a little closer, walked out, hiked up on a hill 600 yards away from where we last saw him. he was no where to be found. kept glassing the same small area i thought he was in and 30 minutes later out of nowhere i see him just standing broadside out in the open. i range him 648 yards, took the binos off the tripod and shot off it, missed the first shot. kinda hard to time it right when youre just drifting the crosshairs over him. second shot, i hear the wallop. i get the binoculars up and hes hurt bad. he goes down, gets back up, goes down again. no movement, high fives. then i see slight movement, my heart sinks im afraid i wounded him with a bad shot, blew his foot off or something. i watch a while, no movement then i see his antlers swaying. its been probably 25 minutes since initial hit and i see what appears to be death throws then nothing. we get over there, and he was absolutely smoked with a golf ball hole through the power plant. tough son of a bitch, i still cant make sense of it. Big bodied deer, swollen neck

you must have gone to Payson high school with reading comprehension like that. Try reading the entire article before commenting Chasin’ A Dream owner Jeremy Ulmer wanted to know why the AZGFD doesn’t reduce the number of tags in Unit 22 South. “Inside the last 10 years you could find a 370 to hunt and expect to kill a bull around that size,” he said. “Not anymore. That herd down there has been hit very hard.”

in the Payson roundup article they talk about 22 s

in that azgfd payson meeting they said there was no more big bulls in 22. wrong i guess.

i thought it was 440 yards for archery my whole life. i dun goofed.

so because its not your idea of hunting, everyone else shouldnt get to do it? it could still be legal, you dont have to do it. road hunting and hunting near houses are not the same thing, and neither are as easy as you make it sound. i hunt where the animals are, that is hunting to me.

“I feel like the public input you’re receiving is not from the hunters,” Ulmer said. “It’s from Phoenix,” Daniel said. lol wut?

nice. how come you zip tie the tag on

Isn’t there only one unit with a 5th coues season? So if someone said 5th coues season, it would be obvious which one

i made a whole thread. i think its called third season coues

yes.

congrats on drawing 4th season rifle.

early archery hunt, first rifle hunt, late rifle, late archery. i had the third rifle this year.

you need to find some other things to worry about.

cuz its a blue state.

i dont even know wtf you guys arguing. if someone told me they had the first hunt unit 22 id know they were talking about october. if someone said the 3rd hunt, id know they were talking about after thanksgiving. im pretty sure everyone knows that

the first hunt in the unit, is the first season. the second hunt in the unit is the second season. etc. if you cant figure that out you should be wearing a helmet.
