Like most places, it is not what it once was. It has been the bottom, or one of the bottom, harvest rate units in the state for like 5 straight years. There are mature bucks hiding in the lower elevation desert hills though.

How can Duck Dynasty be blamed for this again, exactly? Lol

Maybe the one guy that couldn't find his trophy is very well know, and has cell service;)

TLO is Great with hunting, and also very good and consistent with camera angles

Not real massive, and not real wide from what I can tell, but those forks are the real deal. I'd put him 185.

Congrats man, way to get it done!

13b, and, and, and, Henrys? lol

And, water marks take 5 seconds, not a week.

I do not wish him Good Luck, if it was taken illegally, power to the authorities. The guy is a guide as well, I got a mailer from his company a few days ago... The longer it goes with no more details or pics, the more suspect it appears.

There's a LOT of country out there to waste your time looking, scouting, and camping. You drew the best muley tag in the US, hire a guide, or atleast get a scouting package as said before. White House was very very funny. But really, if you don't have like two weeks to scout before the hunt(in which case if you did, and you scouted hard the whole time, you would be so burned out you wouldn't be able to keep motivated during the hunt) then enlist some hired assistance. At this point, the sad thing is most if not all of the best guides are already booked up. Its a big year, so people are willing to pay.

Drive south from Fredonia on the big dirt road for about 90 minutes...

Now that there is a BULL.

We have trail cam pics of him. Sending you a PM Lance.

+1. Depends on where you hunt. Around Kingman it's not in the genes, on the Kaibab I see them, young and old, that have droppers of various sizes/configurations pretty frequently.

My brother is out doing some final scouting and checking cams so I'm getting updates from home! Sorry about the green...

Both were basically spot and stalk bucks in the rain on different herds, 13 hours apart. Found a decent 3 point deadhead the same day I killed my buck.

Brother and I both missed some tough shots at some good mature bucks, but ended up each taking younger bucks at the end of our hunt.

3x4

Trumbull itself basically does not have roads, so unless you are a serious mountain man, you will never know what Trumbull holds... That being said, most would say Logan.

You hunting spot and stalk, water, or other? Forecast this week looks tricky.

It will likely be tough if he is not really lucky. With the rain they are getting again the last few days and this week, you likely will not be able to rely at all on any water sources for hunting or leads since every pond and mud hole will have water... Maybe it will dry out by the end of the hunt. It depends on what type of buck he wants to hold out for, if he just wants a mature buck, I would just go hunt Mt. Logan. Alot of deer there, but other hunters will be too. If he wants a buck of a lifetime, which is possible this year based off of the three strip monster bucks already killed, you are going to have to do ALOT of glassing. It sounds like from your post he has located some bucks already, so I would start there. Deer densities are very low in most of the unit, so it is very likely you will not even see a buck some days while hunting, so prepare mentally now for those glorious days:) These guys don't pattern or stay local to tight area too often, so don't hope for that.

As it has been said many times before, it still rings true, if you are putting your cam on a water source, the likelihood of it being stolen eventually are very high. Hike a few miles into the middle of the wilderness and hide it, then you're pretty safe. It really is pretty simple, and pretty sad.

The website is very well put together and worded in my opinion. These new rules and permitting with make the Big Bo in unit 10 a very premium "spot and stock only" location for Arizona. You have to pay extra to play, and you have to play by strict and old school rules: no hunting on water, no attractant, no cams, no atvs, no large envoys of guides for one hunter... Success will obviously go down for several reasons, but there will be more mature trophy animals that live longer as well. I think I like it for this one special ranch circumstance.

This is a tough one. Sounds like its pretty certain the person in question did it, since the tracks went to the tree where your's was at, and then to the tree where theirs now is, and it was only three days... I would be pretty tempted to take theirs as my replacement at minimum.
