Did either of you go bear hunting? This morning I went to the desert scouting for muleys. Just finding water was a challenge. Zip for deer although it was 90 degrees at dawn so deer movement is minimal to say the least.
In my opinion, you should enlist the help of a professional team. Dwyane Adams offers free glassing lessons to young hunters. Perhaps you could work something out with him. You obviously have the desire to learn and people respond well to that. Guides are relatively cheap in AZ because it's all...
Thank you for the positive comments. Here are a few more of the smaller ones. These were taken in the Williams area. During the seven day rifle season last Nov./December we received a ton of snowfall on top of about six inches of rain the previous day. The blanket of snow prevented the mud from...
You will love that gun. With a muzzle break it kicks less than my '06. My last elk dropped dead in his tracks at 640 yards. It's amazing how accurate you can get with the Weatherby brand. I bought mine from a family friend. Here in AZ there's lots of red lava rock which makes tracking a wounded...
This year I applied for the late season Kaibab tag so the deer will be below the burn in that season. Last year the area on fire held lower deer numbers than further south. In my opinion, the impact of the fire on 12AW will be minimal this year and will help the unit going forward for obvious...
