Man there are coues all over that unit. From desert floor to pines. Nice thing is on the youth tag you should have a lot less competition. Just glass hard. If you’ve hunted the Mexico and Old Mexico it’s probably not any different. There is a lot of country that isn’t designated wilderness that is still plenty remote. Good luck and have fun. My personal favorite coues unit.

Yeah, that would suck. Like I said, I have been paranoid this was what happened the two times we got charges. NR deer needs to be $301. Also, when you are done licking your wounds, you'll probably get a good laugh out of this.

31/32 usually has a random tag doesn’t it?

It’s party before faith to these jack wagons.

You’d rather someone build a condo, golf course or data center than for you your kids or grandkids to be able to go backpacking? I guess that’s an opinion.

That’ll be fun.

I know it sucks, but I would suggest getting out there in July with a lot of water. That is the rut and you will see the most rams that time and sort of get an inventory of what is there. Then hopefully you will know what you are looking for.

Bomber rams, wow!

Mine. 45C. I will sign it to my son.

This has been my greatest fear the last two years when we saw our charge. I spent the entire morning going through the receipts from the draw and confirming all $13 app fees not $15. Hard to believe it till you see it in writing.

That is a kick in the nuts.

Might want to pick your brain about those Castle Domes!

Kofa’s here!!!

Something like that. Seems like they start populating midday and full results by end of day that it starts. Waiting for someone to say they can’t access their account. Usually that’s a dead giveaway that something is happening.

It will wither be after my archery bull tag, son’s antelope tag and before my wife’s bull tag and my brother’s bull tag. Or it will be after the antelope hunt and three bull tags. Somewhere in there someone got a deer tag too. Doctor’s are welcome on all of it.

Deal!

Come with us Dennis!

My parents spend their summers in Clancy. It’s perfect. Wish a guy could make a living there.

Yes, there are perennial water sources. Some naturally occurring and some man made. The ones you can find that aren’t right on a road are pretty clutch. Migrations are less drastic in most of AZ than in other Rocky Mountain states. But it does happen. There are places where the elk move quite a ways to rut and then back to recover. Coues deer tend to have a home range and hold tight outside of the rut. Then bucks can wander all over gods green earth. Desert mule deer tend to be unpredictable wanderers most of the year. In some areas we hunt, once the rut kicks in it seems like all the bucks show up in one area, albeit at different times over a few weeks. Super hard to find the same desert muley twice. High elevation deer rarely migrate due to snow other than north of the Colorado River. A lot of it is similar to Montana if you hunted open country. Just lower densities. Get a tripod, put the best binoculars you can buy on it and start glassing. Good luck. Tons of opportunity in this state if you know how to take advantage of it. Also, the quail hunting can be pretty good in S. AZ.

Gallego and Kelly are going to vote against this no matter what. They aren’t going to hand Trump a landmark piece of legislation like the BBB. If this stays in the senate bill and passes reconciliation it goes back to the house. After contacting senators, next step is house reps. Stanton is my rep he isn’t voting for this either. The approach I have taken is to post in every public place I can think of that this is unacceptable. That if republicans force this through reconciliation, it’s the nail in the coffin for the GOP in AZ. They’ve already lost so much support in the state that pissing off a huge portion of your base will be enough to suck all the momentum out of their sails and solidify the democrats stronghold. We need to put pressure on republicans to push back on this.

Sounds amazing! Can’t wait to see it!

Awesome to see one of the OG good guys finally get his tag! Congrats!

Either of those is an exceptional hunt. If it’s in the cards, I would recommend hiring some help. Both of those units can be tricky. What we learned last year was that judging sheep was much tougher than I expected. But man what a journey it was. So many memories. After my son’s hunt last year I thought it would be a lifetime before we got to experience it again. But, somehow lightning struck twice. Someone in the family drew again this year!

Congrats dude! What did you apply for?
