Here's another

Shhhhh...don't tell my boss, but I think I'm calling in sick on Friday, March 17th! Want to focused on my credit card charges. Lol Just check every 5 min while at work like everyone else. Probably the least productive day in arizona every year.

Wow. Looks at those rosettes on the sides of that second cat. Would make an awsome full mount. Definitely different cats.

Almost sounds like your in a females range and and had a Tom come through. I have personally noticed from trapping that females make a small circuit( like 3-4 days) and this is the prime time for males to be sniffing out females so I would hammer that area calling. The male will hang around if there is a female there. From personal experience cats can take a long time to come in when called. The last cat I shot came in at almost the 2 hour mark!

Only on the old 3 screw black hawks and single six. Vaqueros never came without a transfer bar saftey.

All rugers have the firing pin in the frame and they never made the vaquero without a transfer bar saftey.

Give it a try, at least once. I had a lot of fun on my 7e late archery hunt I did a couple years ago. It's a pretty cool experience to have a bull tag in your pocket and pretty much have the woods to your self compared to any early archery or rifle hunt. I was very successful at finding Bulls almost every day but I had crunchy snow which made stalking near impossible. One thing to consider is if you have a hunter ed point and a loyalty point, check and see how many points to get in the bonus point pass for the unit you are interested in hunting. Meaning if you put a late archery hunt as a second choice with low points you may draw the tag in the bonus pass and and never have a shot at your first choice in the 1st-2nd choice pass. As these late hunts become more popular this will be less of a problem but I'm pretty sure that's what happened to me when I drew the tag

He will be in flagstaff tomorrow.

Whenever there isn't snow on the ground. Just picked an old chalker this morning. Probably April till June. Lots of browns and no weeds to speak of. Once the vegetation grows from the monsoons they can be a lot harder to find.

What a stud. Congrats. I found this Bulls sheds from this spring. I was hoping he would sneek through the late rifle hunt so I would have a shot at him next year. Sorry about the pics. For the life of me I can't get them vertical. Looks like he didn't grow the cheater 7th on his right side but still managed to add over 20 inches of gross.

Well it looks like I'm going to be hunting Africa this summer so I am parting with a few guns to help fund the hunt. Ruger m77- 7 rem mag, some scuffs on the stock but otherwise in great condition with a Japanese glass Tasco staight 36 power scope. $450 Remington 770- 300 win mag with rings no scope $225 30-40 krag- action is drilled and tapped on the side for a scope mount I believe $375 Diamond back ar15- brand new never fired. $550 Located in flagstaff Pm me or call or text 9286079588

TTT, AR15 Back up for sale

I had the Nov. Archery hunt last year and younger bullswere still bugling. Dont expect to call anything in but you can still locate.

I like to be mobile. If an area is cold ill try a different area or elevation. Sometimes no rutting behavior in one area and drive five miles down the road they are screaming their heads off. I have the 7e tag as well and all I can say is there are some epic bulls in there this year.

Take the money and run. I bought my mariner for 200.

I had one of these tags last year in 7e and I saw bulls almost every day. Finding good vantage points to glass is my strongest suggestion. I tried to put a stalk on a lot of bulls but frozen crunchy ground made it extremely difficult. Even though I didn't tag out I had a lot more opportunities than I ever expected and its one of the coolest feelings to have a bull tag in your pocket and never run into another human for the whole hunt.

7e. Already have the deer that I'm gunna miss picked out.

Went out for a nice hike this morning and came up on this group of young bachelors. Stopped just long enough for a few pics.

I dont think there has ever been any real pattern. 1st choice, 2nd choice, youth, regular. Card hits never seem to correlate to any particular hunt.

I feel like the early moisture has greatly benefited the elk this year. I've seen some real studs. Have yet to see any deer that impress me yet but the still have a bunch of growing yet to do.

Cant be over. My card hasn't been hit yet.

Where are you located?

Helped a bud out on this hunt last year. Some of the most beautiful country I've ever had the pleasure to be in. One of the best units I've been in for glassing. We came home empty handed but I feel I did learn a lot about this hunt. The rim road is mighty tempting and we worked our tails off working almost every canyon but saw nothing but cows and a few rag horns. Also tons of road hunters. The few people we had met who tagged out shot little bulls. I feel like nearly all decent bulls either dropped into the rez or north down into the cedars. Weather wasn't bad and no snow last year but still nothing worth while up high so I would recommend hunting lower. I think this is a unit that takes some time to master and understand. I feel like a bad a## in my units I normally hunt but I got humbled after this hunt last year.
