65 yards. I did miss one at 90...right on target and he stepped out of the way as they tend to do. LoL

Pleasure meeting you too! Thanks so much for the conversation, pointers, and friendship. Ended up killing him the same place you and I met the day before my hunt started.

Reminds me I need to flex all those arrows that didn't connect with speedgoats before I shoot them again...

Nice! Looks like maybe the range down off Harrison. Yeah plenty of cannons down there most of the time. Can't wait for my kids to get their first tags!

Mule deer last year with .270 TTSX at 250 yds. No bone, straight through lungs. Lung looked like had been hit with a 4-blade broad head from the petaling and huge exit hole. Went maybe 50 yds.

My buddy's kid is in this month's Eastmans with his bull from last fall. Top right.

Bump for nice glass. Just picked up a pair of these myself...

Not me...drew with less than 10.

I was very sorry to see this too. According to a Facebook post the lion was killed by a hunter, but not until after it also got one of his dogs. Seemed to have no fear of dogs or humans.

Sounds like a great time. Youth Outdoors has great camps...can't wait to get my son out to another one.

Same here. Phone and old site say I drew. Portal shows not drawn, but bonus points for that species zeroed.

Spot on. Plus being able to reserve and knowing exactly where you'll be is nice with kids. Not technically northern AZ, but some places in white mtns, rim, and Flag area that we've taken our trailer with the kids and enjoyed...Winn Campground (no fishing right there but Big Lake and several others close and not as crowded as Big Lake...no hookups or dump station though), Black Canyon Lake (no reservations or hookups but can dump for free in Payson), Woods Canyon Lake (several in that area that fill up fast and limited reservations), Fool Hollow Lake (full hookups including sewer at each site and a nice lake...one of our favorites), Fort Tuthill outside Flag (Air Force campground there if you have access, or the county campground there is nice too...next to Flagstaff Extreme ropes course which our kids love) Dead Horse Ranch in Cottonwood is a nice campground too with decent fishing.

No you have a lot more points than I do. Mine shows both draw data (all my old tags up to spring 2015 and a bunch of "not drawn") plus bonus points below that. My buddy talked to AZGFD because his wasn't linking and was told the same about them still migrating. He was also told he could link his kids' profile to his as a family profile by calling them. I'm not going to try that with my kids until he figures it out first. LoL

My account is all linked and shows tags through Spring and current license info. Have a credit card charge but no tag online yet. Seems like some are there and some aren't yet...nice.

Congrats! That's awesome.

Friend told me his cabela's visa is always slow to post charges, but can tell by available credit and this year called to confirm that there was an AZGFD charge.

Hit for antelope. Fingers still crossed for elk...

Outstanding! Thanks for sharing.

That was fast. Great pack at a great price!

Bump for a nice freezer...timing is wrong for me. Bought mine in Nov.

350 Kaibab buck. Dang deduction #10 cost me the 400!

Great idea! Donated. And thanks a ton for all the help Flatlander!

Yep...they've been releasing bighorn again over the past couple years. Not sure where the good spots to glass for those would be though. I think they were seeing them behind Catalina SP.

Sort of trivial, but I also have a reason for asking. What are the statistically "impossible" hunts to draw for both elk and antelope with 1 hunter ed BP? My reason for asking is that my son doesn't want to hunt this year, but I want to buy him a bonus point. He turns 10 in June...so can't just buy a bonus point (have to be 10) but he can apply for a hunt since he'll turn 10 before the hunt. I've seen folks talk about which hunts get filled in the bonus pass, but is this information available anywhere? I haven't seen it on the AZGFD site, but not the first time I've been looking in the wrong place. Thanks!

Thanks for all of the responses and PMs. Have my ideas now of which hunts would be the lowest likelihood of drawing, BUT one viewpoint I hadn't thought about was pointed out to me by a great guy on here who has been very helpful to me in the past. On the slim chance my son did draw the <1% odds early rifle tag, I'd hate to be the guy who's been putting in for years and gets bumped. I may have to re-think this and just wait another year. I know it won't be a big deal to my son either way, and that's what is most important to me. I don't think he'd want a bonus point if he knows that it means someone else missed out.
