But i see plenty of mule deer down there and i am seein mule deer in places i have never seen them before so in my book i feel they are doin pretty good and as for archery hunters double dipping i am sure that it does happen but it is far and few between. I would put the blame on that over just out right poaching bein the problem in those units

Actually i just looked and it is in the legal requirments section under deer hunting

I am Actually pretty sure now you dont even have to call and report your archery deer harvest they just want you to fill out the survey they send everyone that has a tag. I am pretty sure it is in the regs just under the archery deer section

Congrats on a nice buck

Just checked facebook and still no pics of deer with watermarks on them

I am still waiting to see more pics of this deer and some pics of deer being fed in the park. Would love to see a 200 inch eating out of someoes hand in the park. He needs to hurry up on the watermarks on his pictures and give us the story allready i cant take it anymore lol

I know that this buck is a trophy of a lifetime and if it was hunted and cought going over the fence then more congrats to the hunter cuz i am sure it took time to figure out were that was happening. But from ready these posts this is a buck that people have petted and fed for years? That is crazy to me so all i had to do is see it over the fence and walk up to it like i was going to feed or pet it and then shoot it with arrow? I love this thread so much lol

I need more give me more come on rageinthesage you know u got more info pease share or clear it up please

I need more info love to know what the story is and see some more pics

I have a 2002 honda 400ex that has different jets for different elevations in the carb and how i have it set up right now it will not run in higher elevation over 5000 feet it will start but will have no power what so ever. To me sounds like you have a jet problem or an air/fuel problem

Holy s$$t i am pretty sure i will never touch those numbers hunting arizona with one per year lol. Did put 50lbs of meat boned out from my coues deer hope it lasts me all year

So if i am reading the regulations right everything within the freeway loop is closed for dove hunting except county lots or county areas within boundary? Just got to be 1/4 mile from any occupied structure?

My 2013 Archery Deer hunt started a little late this year and was not able to make it out tell saturday evening due to work and no pto to take for the season opener. Got to my area around 11am and set up camp and i was off to the blind. The even was a good one with a good number of does and a couple 2x2s and spikes made it thru that evening but nothing i was looking for that i had seen on trail cam pics. The next morning came in a hurry and i was at it again. Throughout the morning i had seen a few deer but again nothing i was waiting for had come in. weather started to change and i new the deer would start moving and sure enough around 4pm this guy showed up and i took a 48yard shot and i hit the mark. just after i shot my deer it started raining cats and dogs and thats when the real fun began. packed up the deer on quad and started out down the mountains. raining so hard and the ground was so wet i was sliding all over. got stuck for over thirty minutes in a washout and then rolled my polaris rzr on its side down a hill because i slid of the side. i was fortunate the deer didnt get damaged and i didnt get hurt. made it back to camp and skinned and quartered deer and packed up camp to head out all while it was raining. started to drive out and got to a hill and my quad was just not going to make it up with the trailer weight and everything i had on it. so we had to set up camp and wait it out tell today. all in all had the time of my life and i made it out alive lol. will never forget the feeling i had when i saw this buck skylined and heading my way

The area i hunt i have found some natural salt licks that the deer just tear up and everytime i go back the hole is deeper from them eating the dirt i posted a trail cam pic in this topic and if u look at bottom of pic u can see the hole the deer are making eating and licking the dirt or salt deposit or whatever is there that they need. During there antler growth they need the nutrients and seem to hit it up daily if u can find some of those then that would be a great place to set up a blind and see some nice bucks

Love bow huntlng there is nothing better

Thanks willyhunts2 and yes i have got quite lucky the past few years hunting the early hunts seems to always work out at just the right time. actually shot my first buck with bow in 2010 and 2011 got one with my rifle cuz it just didnt work out that year with my bow and then 2012 and 2013 and put them down with my bow again during the august archery

thanks guys for congrats. so i found a trail cam pic of this buck from a week ago so i figured i would share

Hey congrats d! I know u are one excited man. Cant wait to see the mount once it is finished

hey stand man what is goin on in picture of buck u posted after i looked at it it looks like there is two deer there by lookin at the legs of deer they are front legs from buck and looks to me like a deer faceing other direction and u see the back of the other deers legs. Yes? No? or that is one flexible deer lol

Was just looking threw some pics of mt lions and was wondering if you guys eat the meat of the mt lion that any of you guys have shot. I have never shot a mt lion but not sure i would eat it if i did. Just wanted to get a little feedback on the taste if eaten

Looks like a nice buck to me good growth for this early i dont think they have hit there peak growing stage so it has good mass and growth should be a shooter by season. Where i hunt and the bucks i have shot in velvet always seem to still have some growing time left and thats not tell late august.

Last time i was in the area in morning heard tons of yotes

As for hunting that area gets lots of pressure during the hunting seasons from all the folks from tucson and phx. And all the way to peppersauce it is mostly private property until u get to the canyon campgrounds. Very beautiful area but expect to see lots of hunters in there during the deer seasons

The forest is in stage 2 fire restrictions no firearms are allowed to be discharged at this time. But there are some awesome caves to explore in the pepersauce caves.
