Well guys, the days are getting marked off the calendar. One week from tomorrow and I head south for my AZ strip hunt in unit 13A. Season doesn't start until the 16th, but I don't think anyone ever did harm be showing up four or five days early.
Season lasts ten days, so I hope with some scouting and ten days of hunting I can find something that won't make me the laughing stock of Hunttalk. I have had a lot of help from guys here on Hunttalk and will have some good help while I am down there.
Since I have set my goals unrealistically high, I expect to come home empty handed, but with a B&C smile on my face. Call me stupid, but I don't have to shoot one for it to be a success. Mostly looking forward to hunt in an area I have heard so much about and knowing the potential is there for something special.
Given all of that, don't be expecting pictures. Maybe some video of all the deer I didn't shoot.
This week can't pass by quick enough.
Good luck to all of you.
Here is a mid-July scouting clip of one we will be looking for. Wonder how big he was by the time he finished growing in late August? With a lot of luck, more luck than I usually have, I will be able to tell you.
