654321 where did you pull this from?

TSS or Winchester Long Beard XR. Cannot go wrong with either.

that bird was giant! I picked him up outta the cooler after the OP had told me his son shot a Jake. Didn't weigh like no Jake I've held. Got him onto the tailgate and told his son he had shot a dinosaur of a turkey. The head on that bird was massive. Everything about that bird is mature. Great representation of a AZ mountain Merriams. Congrats again Z. Can't wait to do it again.

Amazing! Thanks for sharing!

NOTHING will develop successful stalking skills like practicing stalking game in the field. A radio will only get you so far. At that point(being in your effective range)is where I feel a bowhunter is made. At that point your patience is tested to its max. The last thing I want to hear when I'm stalking and especially when I know I'm in range is another voice in my ear other than whats going on in my head. I want ALL that weight on MY shoulders. To me, bowhunting deer is so darn intimate. I want my success or failure solely based on MY skill. As a kid my grandfather would have me stalk everything we ran into in the field. Rabbits, quail, javelina, bucks, bulls, doe, cow elk, cattle, you name it. I cannot stress how important this was to me developing as a bowhunter. I still do it to this day. Bowhunting is so darn pure. I hold it near and dear to my heart. I'm not against radios. They just aren't for me and how I bowhunt(for the most part I solo hunt) But I do feel for someone that's newer to the archery hunting game they can definitely help you get in range but that's about it. From there it's on YOU to get it done. I have taken plenty newer bowhunters out and they wanted to use radios. I'll get you in range but YOUR patience/skill will determine if you get a shot off. It's a mental game at that point. The one and only time I used a radio in my ear to stalk in I felt it was a hindrance(cords, noise, movement restriction, an extra voice in my head) When I'm stalking in and especially when I know im in range I always tell myself "WHY AM I IN A RUSH TO BLOW THIS STALK?!?!?!" Any serious archery mule deer hunter knows exactly where this question/quote comes from. The late, great Dwight Schuh's book "Hunting Mule Deer in Open Country." I have read this book so many times. This text to me is just as important as bringing my bow on the hunt. I even carry this book in my pack when I hunt. My experience is when I am in range, more often than not, it is on the buck to make the mistake. And it can be HOURS before that happens. And the stars have to absolutely align to be successful at this point in the process. Bowhunting deer is so darn time consuming. It's an odds game. Keep putting in the time and itll happen and when it does your confidence will shoot through the roof. It's a sweet feeling. Pivotal really. Life changing. Enjoy the process! Goodluck and shoot straight!

White tanks is a TOUGH place to get it done! Goodluck!

Congrats on tough hunt. The amount of snow was insane in there this year.

Way to get It done in the circus that was unit 8 this year! Forest service is gonna have their work cut out for them working on those roads

With how the late hunts went this year. Probably gonna be a higher age class of bulls next year. 6b and 8 can hold good bulls. The caveat, the number of tag holders and all their buddies out in the woods blowing calls and running roads. Which can make for a very frustrating experience. You're right on the edge of being able to draw a great tag if you can be just a little more patient, God willing. But if you do plan on putting in for both of those units and draw, please feel free to PM me. Would be more than happy to help you out any way I can. Good luck!

I'd look below the rim for a good muley. Lots of areas to hike into. A few wilderness areas to choose from. Believe that tag is "any antlered" seen some dandies both coues and muley. But they are far and few between. Can be a great hunt if you put in the work.

I have a few of my grandfather's old rifles and shotguns! I Still hunt with a few of them too!

Granite Mountain teepee style tarp tent WITH vestibule. These are extremely lightweight, Durable and waterproof. It is seamsealed. Stands with one trekking pole or a 48" stick. I used it last year on a couple early backcountry archery Arizona deer hunts. It weathered multiple massive monsoons and kept me completely dry and didn't blow away in 40mph winds. I'll throw in a BIVY SAC with it as well. Tent is coyote Brown and made of silpoly. $250

Just came back from the X Diamond ranch on the little colorado river. Caught trout on dry droppers. It's private waters, catch and release and fly fishing only on the ranch. Would imagine you would do well outside the ranch with a panther Martin(gold and black) if you are spin fishing. Gotta pay to fish the ranch. Great place to take the family for a few days. Cabins were great and the place is gorgeous

Great quiver! These things are not a gimmick. Love mine!

Pretty insane if true!

Used on 2 backpack hunts. Seamsealed. AZ Monsoon proven. Bought new for $190. Will include nylon and mesh bivy i made as well. Stands with one trekking pole or stick. Vestibule included as well. Great shelter. 6234188858 $100

It's all about where you set it up. Spent a few days and nights in early season monsoons in it and was bone dry

Sold

It has been an amazing setup. Just no need for it this season. SPF TO couescrazy33 for now.
