Congrats! Is there a story to go with the pic?

On san Francisco peaks above 10k or 11k feet

Talking to a couple of wardens; One of them said Road hunting is not illegal, shooting from the road is illegal. The other said if your bow is uncased I will write you a ticket. I said, write the ticket and I will see you in court and lets see who wins. No tickets were written.

This ^^^^ is exactly how simple it is. People have been reading spot & stalk articles about Arizona and about coues & mule deer for so many years that they think it's the only way to hunt. It can be an effective way, no doubt, but it's a much more challenging method than sitting an ambush. If you just want a first deer, and don't really care about antlers, literally all you have to do is find a spot that shows signs of good deer traffic and has good cover for you to hide in and sit tight. I've had to sit for 3 days straight before, but eventually you will get your shot. If you can't sit still that long and you're one of those that always end up meandering around looking for a 'better' spot, than the problem is not your location: it's you. And you've probably got a really long hard road ahead of you before you connect. Good luck to you & keep at it! I rarely sit still and have good success. So there is still hope for the hyperactive

Let them decide. My daughter will shoot anything that has antlers,my nephew on the other hand, will only shoot the biggest animals in the unit.

Probably the same people that wear full camo to bass pro.or the gun show .. Lmfao !! Probably the same people that wear full camo to bass pro.or the gun show .. Lmfao !! Or WalMart in show low

Only three road hunters?

Bachelor herd of six muleys. One was exceptional. Four gobblers. One very large pronghorn

Favorite time of year. Stuck at work in Scottsdale opening morning, fortunately, some of my customers need to see me in globe midday;)

Interesting thread with no right/wrong answer on guided or unguided. Ask yourself this question "what am I looking for in this hunt?" Is it the largest deer possible, If that's the case get one of those guides with a hundred cameras, a dozen drones, and spotters on every vantage point. Or are you looking for the satisfaction of doing it yourself, now if thats case don't be afraid to go home with the "average" strip buck or even with an unfilled tag. Back to the oringinal question, I spent seven days turkey hunting in April/May in 13b. I saw a great deal of deer on Black rock Mountain and its only 45 miles of dirt road to st george. If/when I get this tag I will not hire a guide and I may even hunt solo. I do not consider an unfilled tag failure.

Preparing now for a four or five day solo backpack hunt in 27. (I have to get less fat to do this)

Trout and I have caught quite a few smallmouth out of it. Night time fishing with a crawdad imitation

Who would turn down a strip tag if they only had a couple of weeks notice? I'm pretty sure everyone would make it happen.

Under edit profile

No problem

Go into settings, edit profile, add huner Id number and SSN number and it will work

Everyone knows there is only trout in the white mountains. Local knowledge is needed for fishing Scotts.

You are right, but I would take confusion, anarchy, and a sheep tag any day. It would be more fun all the way around.

When they're done with the draw

Some dudes have purses along with the bun in their hair.I work in Scottsdale. They all have purses, buns in there hair and play Pokémon Draw results will come when they come out. Not to many people would give up a strip tag with a days notice, much less a months notice. I am still holding out hope that my credit card was declined and they will call me any minute.

^just playing devils advocate, but If I lose my wallet I would lose a check as well and what if a female hunter looses her purse?

Until you lose your wallet.

There still is hope!
