I can't speak to the quality of the hunt itself but I've been in Unit 8 several times for camping and also for a late cow elk hunt, I believe it was the first week or December, a couple of years ago. I also grew up in Prescott (~45 minutes from 8) for 18 years. I should also say I am an...
Congressman Raúl Grijalva (D) of Arizona - Against the the transfer of public lands
"Dear Mr. Novak:
Thank you for writing to me regarding the transfer and sale of public lands. I appreciate your thoughts on this important issue.
I am deeply committed to the sustainable management of our...
I am shocked that the hunting community so far seems pretty hush hush on him silencing federal scientists and restricting/freezing funding. Being pro-public land is great and awesome, but how come that same group of advocates seem to lack the ability to speak up about the science and research...
I'm in Arizona and have the same issue with a state focused website. Makes no sense because AZ is a western state with tons of public land (and not the best state politics) yet you won't find a single thread on the forum about the public land transfer. There is a locked political thread but...
Here is a response from Senator John McCain (R) Arizona:
"As you know, Arizona is home to some of the world's most beautiful natural scenery. Every year millions of tourists from around the world travel to my home state to marvel at the Grand Canyon or to enjoy our many hunting, fishing, and...
I shoot a Tikka T3 and am also hunting late season bull in Arizona this year although I shoot a .308 (I believe I will be using 165g although haven't completely settled on it yet) and will be in 6b. I can't imagine that would be overkill but I am the furthest thing from a ballistics expert...
I'm a bit younger than you (25), although I was born and raised in Prescott up until 18. I have spent two years in Flagstaff, two years in Phoenix, and now two years in Tucson. Let me know if you have any AZ specific questions.
Congrats on the tag! I got drawn for a late bull too during the same time-frame in 6b. I'm inexperienced but would have been glad to help if I didn't have a hunt the same week. It's my first bull hunt although I have taken a cow out of 7w before. When you say includes Snow Bowl area, is it a...
Really refreshing to read these posts. On another hunting/sportsman based-forum in my state, anyone who doesn't seem to worship the feet of Trump is essentially exiled and critical thinking isn't applied on political discussions. I wasn't a hunter and didn't own a single gun during the last...
I didn't have binoculars before I went with 10x42 Diamondbacks (except an extremely old pair I found in my grandpas garage). I have never looked through more expensive binoculars although my diamondbacks are great. I've been using them for only a year now but I have never once thought "I...
