    Anybody see any good speed bucks in 6a this weekend?

    I have! Been hard at it since opener Friday. I am the one random pass non resident tag holder for this unit. I’m up in the northern part of the unit by Lake Mary. I haven’t seen a ton of goats but this is where some employees from AZGFD recommended. I got into 70 yards of a good buck but he just wouldn’t turn broadside. I keep running into elk everywhere, archery season in a couple weeks should be good for those folks. Still going to keep at it for that big buck!

    Whoa!!  That’s honestly gotta be one of the longest draw odds I’ve ever heard of.  Your chances of drawing a Super Raffle tag are probably about 10x better than a NR rifle antelope tag with 1 point!!  Unreal!  Good luck with the hunt.  My best advice for antelope regardless of what state is to get a good phone scope and take pics.  Like thousands of them.  You’ll get a certain look at a buck that’ll make you shoot him and you’ll be wrong.  If you’ve got pics of everything you see you can go back and look at all the angles and all the sudden one will make you realize it’s way bigger than the rest.  The second thing would be do your entire hunt before the hunt.  Meaning if you’ve got 10 days to do the hunt (yes take that many, this is a once in 10 lifetimes tag, harder to get then a sheep tag) then spend 9 of the 10 scouting and have the last one be opening day.   That does two things 1:  keeps you off the trigger till you’ve seen most of the bucks in the unit 2: gets you the biggest buck asap in the morning of opener before someone else does.   Disclaimer:   6a will have some bucks in the trees those are trickier.   If you’ve got tons of time go after em and ask every coues and elk hunter you know where to look for em

    It was actually an archery tag. So a little easier to draw, but still a longshot! 

    The way work is going, I may only be able to get out to scout in late July but I will sure try to get there well ahead of the opener!

    I have been hearing that some of these bucks hang out in the trees. I am slightly worried about the archery deer hunters out there moving animals around but it's a big unit so hopefully it doesn't feel too crowded.

    Wow....crickets! lol good for him. Just curious as to how many points he had. I bet I've got more, and have no remorse.

    Well to be honest I didn’t want to respond because I was afraid of guys being mad and shutting me out but if it really interests you I will admit that I drew with only 1 point as a nonresident. I couldn’t believe it when I had the charge hit my credit card. I know it’s insanely lucky and I don’t take that lightly but I am looking for advice from anyone who hunted the unit before so I have a great hunt. Would prefer not to hire a guide, have always gone DIY. I do plan on scouting the unit this summer so I’m looking forward to that.
