i'm looking to see how many arizona hunters are on this site and if they were successful this year. i didn't do any good in archery deer this year but i bagged my 1st antelope during the rifle season in unit 9<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I was not able to draw any tags this year, but I did harvest a whitetail buck with my bow. This tag was over the counter in august. Bring on the rains!

where'd you bag your deer at? i got a shot off in kaibab at a big 3x3 but it just didn't happen. i'm going to set up a mineral lick in the northern part of 42m and hope for the best<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I have a spot by payson, where I have set salt for five years and tagged five whitetail. This year I was waiting for trophy deer, but after being the treestand for six days I took a small two point.I will be back there in Jan.

good luck on your jan hunt wagges. i found a good water hole that was full of water and set up there, you could smell the deer in the area. i hope that it will be good hunting come jan.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I got drawn for a rifle hunt in 35A during Dec. Nothing for elk though. I'm looking forward to my hunt and hope the rut will be in full swing. Last year I shot a nice 3x3 that scored 82 in that same unit.

i got another question for you guys. when is the rut in arizona?

The rut starts in Dec and usually peaks in Jan

have any of you rattled in any mulies? and how about using a grunt tube? everytime i have deer in site and i grunt they usually run away? is there a certain pattern to use or do they just get freaked out when you(i) grunt?
