Here are a few pictures from my late season Arizona hunt. I looked over about 5-10 bulls per day but never turned up a monster. I'm very happy with the bull I ended up with. Many of the bulls had busted up antlers. Hiking hard all day and trying to spot bulls in their beds seemed much more productive in turning up numbers of bulls than just glassing from high points.
I killed my bull by "still hunting" in the afternoon.

Great bull!! Looks like an awesome place to still hunt in...you can actually see things when in the timber.
 
One of the challenges on the late hunts is the busted up bulls...that's a nice clean one you shot.

Congrats!
 
Very nicely done! Makes me think I should have been more diligent with getting points in AZ over the years...
 
Very nice, love that country. Been building points for just this hunt. Nicely done. Might I ask, how far from your truck did you find these bulls?
