Hello from Arizona

[JColony]

Thought I'd fire off an intro as a new member. The family and I recently relocated to AZ from Eastern WA. Sometimes you gotta follow the paycheck. I've been a diehard muzzy hunter for the past 10 years or so in Washington. Now that I'm in AZ, I've made the switch to archery. With archery being the only OTC option, I figured I needed to give it a try. Was only able to hunt the 3rd season of 2015 and the 1st of 2016 and did not manage to punch a tag, no surprise. Gonna keep this short, looking forward to exploring the forums and getting to know this community.

Welcome to the forum. I love using the smoke pole here for whitetails.

Welcome from Arizona!

Welcome. I'll be trying that OTC archery gig in Arizona next January. Low expectations on punching a tag with archery gear, but surely an improvement over the Montana weather.

Hey, neighbor --- welcome to a GREAT site! We'll have to get together and talk Arizona hunting (PM me your phone #) ...

Welcome aboard, it's nice to see that Randy is going to attempt a coues hunt. Archery will be tough though, however it is an "any antlered deer" season. So muleys are still a possibility

Welcome aboard. AZ also has plenty of javelina you can hunt. There is an archery elk hunt on edge of Flagstaff you can probably draw each year as a resident. Is only hunted by archers. I will retire there and have a house in the Phoenix region but am not yet a resident. Someday. For now, am in the 10% bucket for tags. If any chance you will move away from AZ, consider getting the lifetime license. If you do move away, you will pay non-resident tag prices but be in the 90% bucket for tags.
