Very nice! Congrats on your first archery success.

I have to disagree with everybody else on here. If you know the area, roads, camping spots, etc, I don't even scout till after the July 4th weekend. Wait till that big weekend to have tons of side by sides driving around, just like opening of the elk hunt. Plus if you have cameras out before, there are so many more a..holes to mess with them. Plus you are in the monsoon by then and their patterns will change with all the extra water around. Find the cows (not the bovine ones) and the bulls will be there in September when the rut starts. Just my opinion, and I do drive a gas guzzler, so it saves me a couple trips up north. And gives me more time to scout for archery deer.

SOLD Had this Anderson 7075 forged lower sitting in my closet for over a year built up with dpms lower build kit. Less than 250 rounds through the lower. Finally got an upper for it last weekend. Upper and parts are brand new. $500 with flip up sights or scope rings and one pmag. Anderson Lower with DPMS build kit 6 position adjustable stock Radical firearms 16" 5.56/223 m4 barreled upper with 12" M-LOK FCR rail Radical bolt carrier group Anderson milspec charging handle Aluminum FDE flip up sights/ or scope rings Magpul pmag Available Magpul fde grip or ARFX Ace Stock ceracoated desert tan for upgrade if interested. I have not fired it but can test fire it if you want. I have a 300 blk Radical upper that shoots amazing. And have several friends with Radical uppers, not one has had an issue. Pic included of my blackout groups at 80yds, and it has never had any misfire/feeds ever!

Sold! Still have Ace Stock, with brand new A2 buffer tube and black, tan and fde foam $100, or $75 without tube. Not in a hurry to sell, may want to keep it??? One piece rings 30mm, with plastic spacers for 1", $15.

Spf...

Not going to sell it separate yet. Maybe if it doesn't sell.

I like this 1st pic. Didn't realize wing was folded in on all my pics on my phone.

I was down in 35A for the 1st hunt. The Birds were gobbling very well on opening day. Where I was we could hear around 7 different gobblers from camp. I saw 6 gobblers within 20 yds in the 1st hour. Passed on some with scraggly beards and took mine at 6:10 opening morning. 10 1/2" beard, but no spurs. He walked within 2 yds of me before I got a shot at 15 yds. Other turkeys were too close to get a clean shot until he walked farther away. He was with 3 other gobblers, 7 jakes and 4 hens. Pretty exciting with all of them walking around me less than 20 yds, mostly 5-10 yds away from me sitting against an oak tree. I know another hunter that took his tom opening morning too, big group of toms, jakes and hens. Even saw another gobbler when walking back to camp, and had a bird gobbling all morning 150yds away from camp while we skinned my bird. Good Luck! Should be a blast.

Just dropped my Gould's off to Sven too. Super nice guy and real reasonable prices. Highly recommend him.

Bob, just tagged out this morning in 35a. Passed up 3 Tom's before took one with longest beard. Was at survey, have that info. Tried to call you. Can help if needed. Kirk. Pm me.

Tom, Left you a voice mail. I have a brand new sleeping bag and several turkey decoys. Sorry I can't volunteer, unless I get my turkey early in the hunt, then maybe. I'm in Gilbert too. Kirk

I'm not sure 17 will get you in bonus pass on 35a 1st hunt. probably on 2nd hunt. If you are waiting that long for a tag, I wouldn't think you would not wait till the 1st hunt. It took me 22 points to draw 35a 1st hunt this year. Tag #2, i think, have to double check. It seems alot of people draw with few points but there are alot of people in that medium high point area that take a long time to finally get their tag. Yes you could most likely draw 2nd hunt with 17, but should you?? At 17 you are kind of getting point committed, and shouldn't you wait for better hunt.

Tag #2 for 35a 1st hunt. Yahoooo. Those 20 points finally paid off. Now just have to figure out where to go. Lol. If anyone else on here drew this tag and want to team up let me know. Been down there once and found several flocks. Should be a great hunt.

SPF Thanks elkhunter!

Nice, Great Shot!! Making me jealous!. I leave for Idaho in 3 days, 10 days for antelope and 10 days for elk plus some fishing.

I was wondering same thing. When I got the call the lady said she had to call 20 people from just my 1st choice. Asked her if new draw would still use bonus points and she said yes. So wonder how many people were affected. I called a couple days ago and asked the status. They said I didn't get drawn. Has anybody got word from Azgfd that they got a turkey tag from special drawing? I feel like the call was JUST to get you to agree to their no fault statement.. My bonus point hasn't shown yet, nor my point for buffalo. I can't believe they were not able to resolve this before the elk antelope draw. I had 18 turkey points and those dumbasses can't even get me entered in the draw. Anybody else??

Just checked portal and got my first choice for javelina. So they are starting to resolve the draw issues. Now if they just give me my Goulds tag I would be willing to forgive them for the whole thing.. If they were really nice they would give me the tag and let me keep my 18 points. Lol..

YEP!! Didn't have any hits for pig or turkey or bison. Had 3 pts pig and 18 pts turkey. I had the $13 fee taken out and everything went fine on putting in electronically. I called game and fish. They said I didn't put in for the draw!!!! They said they see they took the $13(each) out to enter but don't have me down for pig, turkey or bison!!! They said they have a list but wouldn't say how many people on it. They have no idea what they are going to do!!! I have to wait for them to decide, and call me back. Not my fault but IT problem. I heard of others on here with lots of points not getting drawn so it is obviously a BIG problem. I checked portal and shows last couple years draws but doesn't show anything for this draw at all. Looks like I'm gonna get screwed by AZGFD for their inability to receive my electronic draw input, and they quite the early correction period because the new electronic way doesn't allow mistakes!!!! Can you tell I'm pissed!! 18 turkey points and I'm probably screwed for this year!! At least I can get a left over pig tag as long as they don't screw those up too!!!

Anyone get a hit today?? Or are these all hits from earlier? With 3 points for pig and 18 for turkey hard to believe I didn't get drawn for either...

I always carry a blunt in my quiver for squirrels, rabbits, doves or quail (in season). Plus if you run out of arrows, I keep a pack of broadheads in my pack, and can screw on another broadhead as needed. Blunts seem to work best on small game for me.
