Moving to Mesa, AZ in less than a week. Looks like my first bowhunting season will be in one of the toughest/most beautiful venues in all the land. Can't wait to see what happens!

I love Arizona and I think you will too. When I hit the lottery..GONE...

good luck!!!! let me know how it goes. If anything the views are worth the trip in itself. Have fun and be safe

[/align]As a former midwesterner (IA and MO) who now lives in AZ, I can say that there is much to do and see here as far as fishing and hunting go. I have lived here for just over 2 years now. And have been drawn for deer and elk both years. Let me know if I can help you in any way in getting used to the place. There are a few different things you'll have to deal with. But one GREAT thing that was hard for me to adjust to was the abundance of public land to go enjoy. You'll LOVE it once you're here a couple months. Keep me posted!

I'm Native to AZ, hope ya like it. Make sure ya take care in the desert a lot still die out there cause they got stupid
