I’ve shot my .28 nosler without earplugs suppressed and never noticed it being abnormally loud.

I hope everyone has that attitude!!

Normally I’d tell people to actually search the points they had last year to see if they’ll draw but in the case of these hunts there’s a lot of tags and not much demand so the point creep isn’t out of control.

You could draw 7e or 11m September archery. 3b November muzzy or a 4,5,6,7 or 8 late rifle tag. Just depends on what you want out of your hunt. Should be able to kill a bull on any of those if you aren’t super picky.

If you’re gonna hire a guide I’d put in for 23n 1st and 23s 2nd. Or vice versa. They added some tags in there so you might pick off either one in the max pass. Then hire the Ground Pounders and go shoot a giant bull.

Which weapon? Looks like you could only draw 7e or 11m for September archery. You could get any November archery tag. Late rifle you can get pretty much any of the units except the alternative management units (1, 3a/c, 23, 27, 9, 10). Muzzy, most of the late but none of the early. If you can’t pass a raghorn type bull they are availabale in any unit so just pick one with a weapon you know you can get it done on and go hunting. I personally would go to CO and hunt a OTC area and knock a small bull off my bucket list and save my AZ points did a unit and hunt that can produce a big bull more consistently.

Just because they’re words doesn’t mean they’re used correctly.

*Incompetence* Anyone else see the irony?

Easy. You just gotta stick your face down in the “V”…….

I actually like 4b. Had a 380-390 bull on cam there when I had that tag years ago.

With 23 points, 4b late rifle should be a lock.

That’s just 4B

Are you a hopi tribal member? I think they’re pretty easy to get tags if you are. That’s a slick deal if so!

Don’t know the name but I don’t get out a lot around here. Pretty much just work and hunt or head to my farm 3.5hrs away if I have free time.

I guess I’ve been on 6 rut hunts in AZ and 2 in western NM and had blinds up ahead of time and bulls hitting water most of the summer and never spent a second in any of the blinds as it has rained on every single hunt I’ve been on down there. Maybe I’m just unlucky, or lucky depending on how you look at it. Probably should have phrased it like this “I wouldn’t be set on sitting water as there’s a good chance you’ll get rained on during your hunt if it’s September archery”.
