cramerhunts Report post Posted November 30, 2005 I will be back in 30A where I spent the Nov. rifle hunt and Aug/Sept. bow hunt. I have been chasing a big buck also now for the last couple of years and as of the last day of the rifle hunt he was still alive and well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

donniedent Report post Posted December 2, 2005 Hey DBArcher, North or south in 21??? The reason I'm asking is cuz I'll be in 21 but I'll be down south hunting carp. Donnie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DBArcher Report post Posted December 2, 2005 I mainly hunt the north, but would like to find out more about the south. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
donniedent Report post Posted December 2, 2005 There are some good spots that I've found that very few people stop to check out. Not a ton of deer but the ones I've seen have been good. One I saw was amazing. Anyway, its worth checking out. PM me and I might have a spot or 2 for you to check out. Donnie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rabidApache Report post Posted December 12, 2005 I just got off a hunt on the NE corner of San Carlos in search for Elk. An area just South east of Willow Mtn. range. Friday evening we spotted a couple of raghorn bulls off in the distance (~2-3 miles out). Planned on hunting them the following morning but to no avail. We glassed and hiked all day long, and never found them again. With that hunt spoiled, I broke out my "archie" equipment and decided to hunt deer. So the following morning I spotted my first customer. A nice delicious Muley buck. I swear that buck had a force field around him and deflected the arrow into the Juniper trunk behind him. Missed him at 32yds downhill. So now, theres a 125gr MUZZY broadhead buried in the vitals of that dang Juniper. Well thats OK, still have this coming weekend for elk and two more weeks for Archery deer. On our elk hunting trips I've been finding WT buck scrapes and rubs more frequently. They must be getting fired up for the Rut. I also witnessed a few WT bucks getting a little more friendly with does lately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mjmhunter Report post Posted December 12, 2005 I was up two weekends ago hanging treestands for January and I was finding scrapes that was northern AZ though. Anybody been down south and finding anything? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRONG Report post Posted December 13, 2005 I've only found one rub and no scrapes yet at all. Good thing I'm getting the bucks on my game cams or I'd think there wasn't any there. Good luck everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
