Just cover up and glass as soon as it pass's. A lot of times the deer will get moving right after as it cools things off.

Way back in the day when I duck hunted in the tonto I always carried 7.5 steel shot for quail as we would be hunting the creek for ducks and would run into quail. I never had no issues killing them with the steel shot. I still use it every once in awhile when I hunt the refuge down at topock.

God bless you and keep on hanging in there.

We were walking thru some super thick ferns on sunday at about 6000 foot elevation and couldn't even see are feet when we had one light up that sounded like he was within a foot of my son. Looked just about like he was walking on air coming back up the hill. Never saw it but assumed it was probably a black for where we were at.

Prayers for you and your wife.

Tom what else are you expanding into?

If your shooting them standing how about that head they use for turkey that chops their heads off?

The thing is Delw has been around the Az boards a long butt time and we all know who he is. You showed up a couple days ago and want us to support a guy we have never heard of. Several members have pointed out that your information was not as straight forward as you say. So you have presented your info and it has been somewhat digested and it doesn't look like you sold to many on it's merits. You might have tried starting with the organizations that actually do great things for the Az wildlife and in which alot of this site tend to support.

Onx maps for 25.00 buy the az app and you have the whole state.

Can someone post a pic that is not instagram.

If you really scouting get onx maps and find tracks of land that don't have roads. Also look for cover type spots that bigger bucks will use to hide in. Walk the wash's and look for tracks if you consistently see bigger tracks then find high ground and start glassing he lives there somewhere.

Did the price of trucks go down thru the years that the tag numbers went down? With your theory tag numbers should have climbed every year but with the above numbers there were numerous years they went down. Tags went down again this year I guess they didn't need any trucks.

The biggest question is does your dad want to hunt a sheep or just shoot a sheep after a hike? If the biggest sheep someone else finds is what he wants to shoot then go guided. If he wants the experience of knowing he found and killed the biggest sheep he worked for then go unguided. Either way what ever makes him happy is what it is all about.

Just put a stand down by the third pine tree on the right just past the ridge that the sun shines on.

Drew 4 tags my grandboys drew 18b youth rifle nov 22cd. My wife and daughter drew muzzy tags in 15 or 9 nov 8th. On top of 2 elk tags in Oct for the grand boys I will a busy guy.

Prayers for his family and friends.

Might have scouted up a big buck and that's the only way to hunt the unit. Years ago there were some pretty good ones in there. I have not even looked around the unit since it went to a draw.

There are alot of hunters in the pueblo park area during that hunt but most are road hunting the highway from luna work some of the bigger canyons with glass there are some nice bucks to be had. The road from pueblo down to the highway on the south side if you walk in south there are not many roads that direction as you head towards the blue wilderness those ridges for a guy willing to hike in can be real good for deer. I don't think you will find any big populations of deer anywhere in there but when I use to elk hunt it we would see deer pretty regular.

She also uses probably a lot I guess in her mind that means it's a fact.

The area around Kingman looks really good right now and these bonus showers are just making it better. I have seen more dove already this year than in years past on my way to work.

Congratulations on a great bird.

Congrats to your wife and I hope she heals up good.
