    Buy my own land

    I dreamed of buying my own land to hunt for years. This spring I bought 160+ acres of eastern Oklahoma, 1000ish miles from where I live (cash). Nothing closer really made sense. I wanted land with no deer tag lottery, a conservative population, and feral pigs to harvest if all else failed. I'm...

    Area 24 New Mexico Burro Mountain December Rifle tag 2022 and Fort Huachuca Coues

    Congratulations on the NM tag. I've hunted Fort Huachuca many times. I never had trouble getting drawn until 2021. My eldest son got drawn in 2021 (late November youth hunt), which is like 4 years in a row for him. I accompanied him and was under the impression the Coues population was way down...

    Suggestions needed: Low maintenance deer management McIntosh Co. Oklahoma

    Thanks to all again; I should have titled the post "Land management" (for deer), vs "deer management". I'm anxious to get in and make the place the best I can, or at least so good the odds of getting "skunked" when hunting for deer are low. My days of putting in for the AZ antlered Coues draw...

    Suggestions needed: Low maintenance deer management McIntosh Co. Oklahoma

    Thanks to all for the ideas and advice provided so far. The present owner runs cattle (perimeter fencing and three interior fenced pastures) and has the deer feeder area fenced off from them. Hogs are known to transiently visit the property. I do agree a permanent shooting structure is a good...

    Suggestions needed: Low maintenance deer management McIntosh Co. Oklahoma

    Hi all, I live in Arizona but am purchasing roughly 170 acres of hunting/ranching land in OK. The property is about half wooded (white oak, pecan, and cedar), half cattle ranch pasture, has a creek, and roughly 8 acres of backwater contiguous with Lake Eufaula WMA. The land/water and the...

    AZ Elk 2021

    I have an early December Unit 1/2B/2C antler-less tag. Scouted the lay-out of the alleged winter range in September and did not see a single elk (not winter). Heading to the range soon to make sure my rifle/scope/me still work together.

    AZ Unit 1 & 2CB late rifle cow hunt - Any tips?

    Thanks, .270, for the low-down on the 2s. Ordered a Flatline map today. Also installed the digital version; it looks fantastic on a large iPad! I might be a Texan again someday as I'm leisurely looking for a large property with likelihood of Whitetail, feral hogs, exotics, and reasonably close...

    AZ Unit 1 & 2CB late rifle cow hunt - Any tips?

    Thanks, mavinwa2 for the location and strategy tips. FWIW, we live in the same town for part of the year. Some days, I might have my 16-year-old son to help scout/spot and, hopefully, pack out. I'm all for getting far from the road for peace, quiet, and less competition.

    AZ Unit 1 & 2CB late rifle cow hunt - Any tips?

    Thanks dmoto for the tips about weather preparedness and Flatline maps. I'll likely get a folding one for Unit 1 and look into their App versions. Fort Huachuca, my deer hunting spot, is suggesting use of Avenza maps as of this year.

    AZ Unit 1 & 2CB late rifle cow hunt - Any tips?

    Thanks BBob for the encouraging post! I hunted Unit 10, unsuccessfully, about 6 bonus points ago. Finally decided to put in again.

    AZ Unit 1 & 2CB late rifle cow hunt - Any tips?

    I drew a tag for an early December rifle hunt for antlerless elk. It is in Unit 1 and the adjacent parts of Unit 2. The hunt has a very high historical hunt success rate. I plan on making a few trips to the area to learn the roads and the lay of the land. I want the last one to be a week or so...

    AZ Elk draw

    Late cow, rifle: Unit 1, 2C, 2B. I’m going to be looking for pointers. I hunted Unit 10 seven years ago and collected bonus points after that. Hoping I get to compare elk meat to Coues deer :)
