Its much easier to just use a smart phone made in the last few years with a GPS map app. Phones have been getting larger anyway. There are alot of hunting/hiking GPS map aps that you have a ton of map options(including google satelite, land owner type, and google terrain). The only thing you have to do is download the maps for the area you will be in before you go out of cell/wifi coverage. Then it works off of GPS satelite and the maps you downloaded once you are out in the sticks. No need to buy extra hardware or lug ipads or laptops around. You always have all you waypoints, routes, notes, etc right in your pocket all of the time. I'm running Iphone 6 and Gaia GPS app.

It must be these guys: http://fortrockhunting.com/about-ranch.html "Buffalo $3,600 and up, call for availability" But it is surprising the range that they allow them in, it is quite vast, state and private land. I would imagine a hunter would have his work cut out in finding them, I've only seen them on cam.

Whats max weight?

Way to go! We didn't even see an elk on Friday or Sat. for my wife's limited opportunity hunt, let alone 5 bulls!

Game animals in units with no season just become watchable wildlife. Got a bear in 16a that I wouldn't mind chasing, but no open season there.

I feel that you are fine, but go out of my way to stay out of other hunters hunt as best I can. I was just scouting a few weeks ago for my wifes elk hunt that starts tomorrow, was going down a dirt road before light that has a dirt tank just ahead of me. There was a deer hunt going on. As I got closer to the tank as I drove, I noticed that up ahead on the hill overlooking the tank someone was blinking their flashlight at me, apparently indicating that they were there/would be hunting the water/area. I turned my truck right around and went to another area.

Curious what you guys that have been blessed to have time in the woods recently have seen. Wife has a hunt starting Friday, in the lower Juniper country of 18A. Haven't been able to get out in a few weeks. I assume by this time all the mature bulls have gone solitary? What have you seen this time of year?

To me it seems like the less contour and steepness the terrain has, the more wondering the muley bucks are. Really steep and bigger canyons, they like their canyon or two, but slight rolling hills and flat, they can be anywhere within several miles of their few favorite water sources. Thats kind of what I see anyway.

Hey thats some good news! Gives us a little more hope anyhow. She would love a chance at anything branch antlered.

I wish we had someone near me that used beetles. Nice looking work.

What trphyhntr said.

No, standard app can download most of the maps. I really like the new updates on the most updated app. You have all these options now of what details you want to show at any time at the bottome of your map: current altitude where you are all the time, sunrise/sunset, speed, distance, ascent, you can record map sessions etc.

I just wanted to make sure those who use this app know, I just found there is map they make(free), called "Public Land" that simply is a land ownership map. So if it is private, BLM, State, etc, shows all the colors. Very useful. I really like the app, have had it for a few years, tons of map options to layer on, never failed me in the field.

It is called "Sunk Costs" in economics and accounting. Buyers do not care what you paid, all that matters is current market determined value. This is a common theme lately in these classifieds. Uncle is just bringing up what the current market is. The way I see it, he is doing you a favor.

That is impressive! I live in Mohave County and don't have any holes near what you describe here. Looks like I need to start paying more attention to the flats haha.

Do you live/planning on hunting near Flagstaff, Phoenix, or Tucson? The higher Pines have some different tactics than the deserts...

I like elkaholic's point, they assume the problem is that there are too many bulls. Maybe the problem is that there are too few cows? It is not hard to imagine what will eventually happen if every time the survery ratio gets a little lopsided their solution is to issue more tags for the sex that has too high of a ratio. Next year kill more bulls. The year after kill more cows, repeat. I know they take hunt success into account, but we need a broader view of this. They need to read up on some stats, correlation is not causation...

Brand new fully set up for $250. http://www.lancasterarchery.com/diamond-razor-edge-compound-bow-package.html OH BURN!! We do like to do our "fact checking" here on coueswhitetail.com Looks like its timer for a massive price drop Huntemupoutdoors

"I took a look at your spots, couldn't find anything, don't like them, give me a better spot." Anything sound funky with that? Good luck on the hunt.

Wow, that is horrible

Wow, awesome hunt!

Those first three tines on either side are the stuff of world records! I think cohntr6 is right. That link looks like his sheds.

Weird it says conflicting things in the regs, and the office says its not required. Plus it was free when it was required. Maybe there were just trying to get some kind of count of how many people were even attempting to hunt them, at one time.

The older I get, the harder I find it to be actively hunting with others. They never are doing things "right". Too loud, too fast, etc etc. But nights alone can be hard, too much time to think about how hard the hunt is, missing the family etc etc, next thing you know, if you aren't careful, you can be driving home and realize over the last 24 hours you convinced yourself to stop doing what you have been waiting all year to do!! That usually doesn't happen if you have someone to talk things through and help motivate you.
