What would you do if you were in my shoes and had max points for deer in Arizona? Option 1: Wait out Arizona Strip (13B late rifle). Hunt for 200 to 230 class deer. Considered one of the top deer tags in the US. Low deer numbers. The hunt is to dig out one giant deer. Only 4% draw now...

Hi All, I am an absolute novice when it come to Coues deer hunting but I do love to glass and have the tools to do it well! My wife's good friend lives in Phoenix and I am considering taking my wife down for a Coues hunt over the Christmas break. She should be able to draw any late December...

As I watch people's reactions after tag draw results come out, particular on Facebook, it continues to show me how often people really need to understand the mechanics of draw they are applying for and how to use historical draw data. Here are a few thoughts and I am sure you can add to these...

Hi all! I am starting this thread for those who would like to also connect on Facebook. If you would like to be "friends" on Facebook, reply to this thread and post a link to your Facebook page. If sending a friend request, it would be a good idea to also send a Facebook Messenger...

I hope I am not overlooking anything but my card just got dinged for the amount for a nonresident Colorado rifle sheep tag. I applied for in S3 with max points. Hunt dates are August 12-28. I double checked all my apps and my wife's apps and there were no other sheep or goat apps, so appears...

AZGFD is floating an idea for "Super Bonus Points". It essentially boils down to this. For a few extra dollars a year ($15 or so) you can accrue an EXTRA bonus point for one specie. I understand that the money is to be used to educate the public about hunting which is a good thing. The good...

Does anyone have any recommendations for a game processor near Pinedale Wyoming, or within 90 miles of there? I have found one that is starting up this year called Scott's Meats in Daniel but they are unproven. I had planned to use Hog Island in Jackson if we didn't have other options but...

I am feeling completely overwhelmed and blessed. For about 25 years my #1 "bucket list" thing has been a trip to New Zealand and a hunt for a big red stag. This afternoon Huntin Fool called, and I was the winner of the raffle for their New Zealand hunt for a big Red Stag (400 to 425), Tahr and...

In Eastman's tradition, getting this thread started plenty early! :)

My 22 year old son told me a couple days ago that he really wants to do a hunt before starting college in the fall. This late into the application season, I think Wyoming pronghorn may be our best option and we are in good shape for points. With college starting on Sept 24, I think we are best...

When would you say is the Shiras moose rut, and when do you think it typically peaks? If you've observed the moose rut, also include what state that was in.

I have max sheep points for Colorado. Is there a program in Colorado where a youth can hunt on an adult's tag? There are a few of these type of programs in other western states. It's still a long shot to draw, but I am formulating my application strategy of 2018.

This subspecies of deer was federally listed as endangered in 1968 and the populations in our county have rebounded to the point we have had hunting seasons since around 2003. Here is an article on this subspecies of whitetail deer. https://www.fws.gov/oregonfwo/articles.cfm?id=149489413...

I am swapping scopes on rifles as I need scopes for two new rifles (28 Nosler & 6.5 Creedmoor). I think the best move is a new scope for my main hunting rifle (Christensen Arms 300 WSM, titanium Remington short action, titanium break, carbon fiber stock). Back when I had a Leupold VX3 4.5-14...

Hey all, I am getting the bug to own an accurate, fun to shoot, 6.5 rifle. I've never owned one. My daughter loves to shoot and I have grandkids starting to grow up. My main uses would be (in order): 1) Shooting steel out to 1000 yards, the kids and I. 2) Hunting deer/antelope sized game...

CC Hits are happening! My wife has a tag. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums...are-happening/

Credit cards have to be updated by Thursday, March 16 by 11:59 pm (Arizona time). Since this is the first year that AZGFD won't be calling successful applicants when charges on their credit cards don't go through, I am thinking they almost have to charge the credit cards the day after the...

My wife and I both drew Colorado deer tags in 2016. If I remember correctly, we now won't have to pay preference point fees for deer, elk and antelope. Is that correct? I'm just doing a sanity check here. In years we don't draw I buy an annual fishing license to bypass the preference point fees.

I am beginning to brainstorm putting in a long range shooting range on some farm land my family has. My kids and especially my daughter, love to shoot. There is a spot where we could shoot at least 800 yards and potentially 1000 yards. I think it would be cool to have metal plates to shoot...

I have been doing the gutless method from before it was popular or even had a name. It just made sense after growing up and dealing with a lot of carcasses from the farm and the field. It seems recently I have been seeing more and more photos of these animals that have been field dressed with...
