They are all over. I did a Google search and there are companies that will meet you and do it Mobil. I used some shop near metro center mall. I think it was called CPR cell repair
-
I did the same to mine. Took it to a phone repair shop and for 45 dollars they for it working again. It lasted for about 4 months after the repair but it gave me enough time for an upgrade

No archery is a draw and usually is harder to draw then rifle. Maybe 2-3 bonus points depending on unit. Non resident deer tags whatever weapon is about 389. However there are lots of areas for otc bull and cow elk hunts archery during the rut and rifle seasons That will cost you 639.
-
Yes there is. Archery then muzzy then second rifle then 3rd rifle and then fourth rifle. Second rifle easiest to draw usually has a 70% non res draw success rate. Usually one point to 0 points for second rifle
-
Yep. Did it in 2014 but it's a draw. I put in for bonus point last year and will use that point this year to hopefully draw. Here is 2014 success

Gordon by hands down should of won

Azgfd set aside a number of permits for elk and antelope for Hopi tribal members only. Those tags are good for the entire unit not just the Hopi lands. By doing this the agreement was that the non tribal members would still be allowed access to hunt Hopi land by a sign in and sign out process if they wanted to hunt those lands in that particular unit. Once the draw is finished and if they didn't get enough tribal members to apply for the tags then the tags go up for grabs to all of us during the left over process. Hope this clear it up

I want to thank all my friends that helped on this hunt. It was a great hunt minus the rut. None what so ever in 4 of the 5 units I hunted. After 10 hard days of pounding the hills behind the glass and glassing up several solitude mule deer bucks and bachelor groups of bucks. I couldn't pass this guy up. He was running with 6 other bucks and was the biggest of the group. I was presented with a 256 yard shot and the 250grain TC shockwave from my CVA LR did its job. I still had ten days of hunting left and was really wanting to hunt these bucks in the rut but After passing several bucks most guys would shoot in the blink of an eye I told myself I better go after this guy. I passed up several bucks and great ones too on this hunt. A big thanks to Geno,Manny,John,Mike and Rod for taking time off and helping me glass the desert floors. Enjoy the pics.

Early Kaibab vs Late desert Muzzleloader vs 3A/C
buglethemin replied to DesertBull's topic in Mule Deer Hunting
Agree with creed. Been hunting these deserts units 39/41/40a/42 for 20 years now and just finished my December muzzleloader hunt. Took a great buck but was tough and spent weeks scouting and 11 straight days hunting before tagging out. Glassed over 30 bucks in those 11 days of hunting and hunted/scouted in 4 of the 5 units provided and only found 2 bucks pushing 180 or better. Most of the bucks averaged 150-160 range. Not one of those bucks were with does. All were solo or bachelor up. Was out yesterday and today helping a buddy w archery gear and still no rut. Bucks were still solo and batched up. To make it worse. All bucks glassed bedded by 815am to maybe 9am and were down for the long haul. They wouldn't move till 430pm. If they were rutting that would definetely change. All I can suggest is if your good at glassing and know their habitat and patterns the desert/muzzy hunt can be a blast but long and fraustrating but very rewarding. Can't beat that December weather in the desert beautiful. -
Good times buddy good times.

Sorry for the photos flipping. I have no clue why they flip

I have no clue what this guy might score have not even put tape to him. He is at the taxidermist now. I'll look into that. Here are some of the bucks I had passed opening weekend and week of the hunt. This first guy is a 3x4 with some stickers as seen from trail camera. Had him bedded at 830 am and he stayed there all day. Would have been a fun stalk. Second guy a nice 4x4 with extras. Had him opening morning but still too early. The last is a bedded 4x4 I had at 90 yards. Found him in 40a off vekol valley. That was fun. Border patrol all over chasing back packers. Enjoy. It was a fun hunting the surface of the moon. On the last photo if you look in the far right corner under the saguaro you'll see the bedded buck

I tried those federal bor in my cva and they sucked horrible will not use them. I found the best shooting bullet out of my cva was Thompson center shock wave bonded 250 grain w smooth sabot shot a 1.5 inch group at 200 yds. I'm excited about my muzzy hunt starting this Friday. Good luck.

It's their day off and they are working an off duty job to make some extra cash for the holidays. So here they are working their day off to support their family as we know game and fish officers are way under paid. Let's give them a break.
