    How is the season progressing?

    Thanks for the update. Glad to hear they're still gobbling..some. I'm driving out tonight, planning to take the little man to Cuyamaca tomorrow afternoon (I have to work half day) then Saturday my cousin is taking me out to some land she has access to so hopefully I can get some birds called...

    Forget about glassing

    Just got back from Costa Rica and they have white tail deer there similar to the Coues Deer we have in Southern Arizona. I don't have the slightest clue how you could ever find these guys if they didn't want to be found. I only saw this because it was in a National Park and the animals are...

    How is the season progressing?

    Been out of the Country for a while but I will be headed out there to close out the season. I looked over the Upland section and haven't seen many Gobblers posted in a bit. Have the hills gone quiet? Also looking for input on another activity I was thinking about. My 5 year old son can...

    Turkey Loads & Patterns

    I am assuming the answer is NO well not NO but F NO! Can you use the copper plated stuff in California or does it need to be no lead at all? I am preparing for my trip out there and I got a little sticker shock.

    Very nice! At this rate there may not be any birds left in the county by the time I get out there haha.

    Watch your step......YIKES!

    I have never used gaiters but after seeing this anyone have any recommendations on gaiters or diy solutions? I will be doing my first So Cal hunt this Spring and I was not worried about snakes until this post.

    Heading out in the morning....

    Agree it's a good idea to keep it clandestine. As for AZ you can find out pretty much everything you need on Facebook or Forums. I think people are a bit more looselipped here because we don't have 1/10 the access issues (for the most part) that there are in California. I think Arizona its...

    Craziest. Opener. Ever.

    I feel like they never get caught but glad you were on it! I hope you get some more time out there to get your bird.

    Turkey huntin' in the rain

    If they bunch up like that would you try to bust them up and call them back in like you would in the Fall?

    Public area gobblers

    So now it's fat girls, scooters and jakes? Lots of fun but don't want to be seen on one? I might have to get new hobbies.

    AZ Elk & Antelope Draw

    22nd will be close but hopefully they run the cards on Monday. The lady I spoke with a year or two ago told me they run all the cards the same day. When we see the hit depends on how soon our banks post transactions. From what I have experienced seems like credit unions are the fastest, B of...

    FYI tomorrow is the last day to update your payment information for the 2017 AZ Elk and Antelope draw. AZGF has stated they will not make calls this year to anyone whose card is declined. Last year cards started getting hit on 3/20.

    Maximizing my scouting time

    Such is life, so my scouting trip got scratched and I am now in a pickle. I can only make it out for the closer in SoCal or stay home for the opener in AZ? I feel pretty confident I can fill my tag here without going out the first weekend, I can just dip out of work and have the forest to...

    Maximizing my scouting time

    Hi All, I am coming from out of state and I will only be able to make one scouting trip so in the interim I am doing some desktop scouting and I have a few questions and a comments. 1. In general do Turkeys there prefer the oak and grassland, pines or the thick chaparral? Or are they found...

    Hello from AZ!

    This makes perfect sense and I like that Sportsmen are taking the lead on this. I guess I am talking about the government here but; why doesn't California take the lead in game managment and reduce the take to a single bird for a year or two. Even if they don't move to a draw they could reduce...
