Giant bull, well done.

Sweet. No shipping either.

There are pigs there. Binoculars mounted to a tripod are the key to almost any AZ hunt. Bestof luck!

Carry 10 gallons with you and save yourself some driving.

+1 on the BB gun. A red Ryder really helps pass the time.

With 11 yo and 12 yo sons this has been my life for a few years. 1. The triclawps is clunky and you need a lot of time to set it up. 2. Don’t forget to consider how to support the butt end of the rifle. Without this the triclawps isn’t rock solid. 3. A bipod with legs tall enough to sit worked pretty well. 4. Practice finding animals in the scope. This is the hardest part for kids. Rabbits are good practice. 5. Sitting water is pretty ideal for shooting. If you can keep the kid entertained. I spent 120 hrs in a blind with my 12 yo last month. 11 yo came for 3 days. With headphones and electronics it’s do able. Books, snacks, comfortable chairs. Take turns watching for animals and doing other things. He could watch for about an hour at a time. 7. Have fun, don’t make it miserable. If they decide it’s boring you may be out for life. 8. You can make a scavenger hunt of things for them to spot. Pay them for completing it. I pay a dollar for the first buck and the first elk someone finds and $5 for a bear or other uncommon animal.

I read until 11/20.

Well lead poisoning is cumulative and impacts brain function, so maybe just look around decide for yourself ...

But wouldn’t 4” deeper in the face be more better?

Awesome! Congratulations on the funnest of hunts.

I am, but I will have to shoot an elk for any results to post. Might be a tall order. We shall see.

Congrats. Knock em dead!

Pay some college intern to drive them off the plateau, from there, NOTAGS is probably right. My guess is Aliberto’s.

Yep, that attitude is exactly what will really help ensure hunters get a seat at the conservation table. Perfect.

Gisela is pretty low on deer density. I’d go full commit on hunting the desert floor. You get any kind of elevation and whitetails will dominate.

3 days and 20 hrs of windshield. Supposed to be mid 50’s and raining when I get there Saturday. That should get the bulls going.

You can’t post about non-lead around here. It violates the Declaration of Independence or the pre-amble or something.

It wasn’t quite OTC. MT general elk is a draw. Something I have wanted to do for many years, as my Dad is from there and we have spent many summers there. I’ll be staying at my parents place hunting nearby. Its almost a 20 hour drive, to hunt poverty elk, but it’s sentimental for me and I can’t wait.

I’ll be coming back from the Northlands. But if you need help send me a note and I’ll do what I can.

It’s the 3b muzzy hunt.

Nice to see you haven’t lost your edge Tony!

So question of the day, how many of you carry a tourniquet? Taken Stop the Bleed?
