Nice video. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing buck! Thanks for sharing.

Nice buck. Way to go.

Congrats!

Beauty. Congrats!

My pointer would be to reprioritize...

I like the challenge of hunting new areas and I've never hunted or helped anyone in 5b or 8 so that is where I would put in.

If I had a camera lost in that area I would keep my mouth shut. No way azgfd have good intentions on this deal...

Drew my 4th choice . Will be my 14 yr old son and I. End of october rifle hunt. Will be my first rifle hunt in 8 years so it's kinda exciting. Hunting together with my son is definately going to be fun. Can somebody out there shoot me a pm on where would be a good area to start scouting? Looks to be a popular hunt = a lot of tags so I'm sure a lot of guys have had this tag before. I live 8 hrs from the unit, but plan on spending at least one 3 day scouting trip prior to season. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks boys, Wade

This brought back some good memories. Sent you a pm on an area on the east side of the unit i went into a couple months ago that is holding a lot of deer. I thought we were going to draw this tag again, but pulled 23 instead. Another mystery unit to learn!

stud bulls. Congrats to the hunters and guides.

+1. I have shot 4 350" bulls, all under 25 yards, that turned out to be 322"-337" when I got my hands around them My scoring ability goes to crap when I have a couple seconds to decide whether he's a shooter or not. Nice bull - congrats. A story would be appreciated since it's your first post.

does the "pulling" effect / distortion of the edge when panning the 12's bother anyone else? Drives me insane...

Not much info to go by, but if you're referring to glassing coues all day I'd stick with my 15's.

Camoremi - don't worry about dl, its the length of arrow, broadhead weight, bow poundage and type of bow you shoot are the primary factors to look at for spine. There are so many factors you should take it to a shop. Not worth trying a bunch of things if you are unfamiliar.

It's Az. You can pull it on your 1st try with no pts or you could wait 7-10 years. 10% science / 90% luck. Buddy's kid just drew it with 0 or 1 pt this year.

Another vote on the kuiu - best I've used.

Hey Jim. I drew a wyoming archery elk tag. Will be hunting Sept 12th --- 28th. Other than that, I plan on shooting my AZ buck in August and taking the kids down south in October. Hopefully, I can get up to Wisconsin in November Wht-Mtn - I told them the same thing. Tell me what I owe, but they wouldn't have any of it. I'll send them some cookies or something for the next Holiday.

Just wanted to share my experience with QAD's customer service. I shoot my bow year round a lot and after 6 years my fall away rest acted up a few weeks ago. I dropped a cpl oil drops and figured with the tag I have this year I'm not going to chance it. I contacted QAD, sent them my rest and they shipped me a brand new replacement 9 days later. I don't buy things for their warranty - rather the quality of the product so I don't have to mess with the warranty, but QAD is a winner in my book. I believe they make the best drop away rest on the market and clearly have superb service. Props to them!

a good set of 8x or 10x binos will work great for the type of hunting you have described. If I'm hunting elk / deer in the timber I take my 8.5x42's. If I'm chasing them in the cedars where I'll get up high and glass on occassion I bring my 10x42's. When I hunt down south I leave both of those at home and strap my 15x56's onto my bino pouch knowing I will either be hiking or glassing from a tri-pod. I would not recommend freehand glassing with anything more than 10x.

I have used them for deer and javelina the past 3 years. 5 javelina and 4 deer between my son and I and we still have 6 of the original 12 unfired. We like 'em.

nice job Jim!

Nice story. Congrats!

I have no issue with people breeding whitetails, elk, bison, etc. Furthermore, I see no issue "mutating" dog breeds to achieve a desired result either. No laws are being broken, they treat the deer like members of the family and there is a demand for their product. It disturbs me more to think some would consider "banning" another person's right to prosper in America than it does having a scientific breeding system to maximize antler size.
