Looking for recommendations on a closer archery range. I live in Goodyear and the closest range I’ve found is the Papago park range out in Phoenix. Does anyone have a place that is closer to the west valley? I like to practice every chance I get and I’d just rather be a little closer to home for...

Hey everyone! My name is Chip, I’m 25 and moved here to Arizona almost 2 years ago. I’m from the east coast where I did all whitetail hunting from a tree stand now learning the ropes of western hunting. I actually just returned yesterday from my first DIY OTC mulie hunt where I thought I had...

Before heading out for deer in December with bow and arrow, it would probably be a good idea to check AZGFD Harvest Tracking to see what units are still open and what species are still available. Taking a look at it, it appears mule deer are far easier (or more popular) to take than whitetails.

About two years ago I bought a Darton compound bow used and didn’t start practicing with it until a couple weeks ago. The strings are old and probably need to be replaced which I was told is $80 for a set. Yes it is nice to have a bowl with that amount of power behind it but I am much more...

I picked this up several years ago in the hopes that my shoulders would heal enough to start shooting a bow again. That didn't happen. I put the bow together and shot exactly 3 arrows before tearing another tendon. Things wear out when you get old. Anyway this is the complete kit as it comes...

Hey Everyone, I am looking to get into archery. I was hoping to get some recommendations on stores that would be helpful to someone like me who doesn't have the slightest clue about archery and wants to purchase my first compound bow. I understand there are multiple variables to fit the right...

Well, not sure if the draws have gone through yet but being my first year applying in AZ i dont plan on drawing anything so I'm focusing my planning & preparation on the OTC deer hunts. I think i've gotten a little carried away with my research & now have about 6 or 7 units I want to check out...

What's everybody wearing for their base layer these days? I've been using old long underwear, but it's not quite what I need. What do you all recommend for an AZ base layer that can go from sitting in a blind in 30° to hiking the hills in 60°?

I’m new to Arizona but have elk hunted in Colorado for 20 years. So I’m trying to learn which units in Arizona to hunt(archery) elk. Also how does the draw work here in Arizona? Most archery tags in Colorado were OTC. Do you have to apply for a bull tag? Can I buy archery tags OTC. I...

Late post but trying make a point to visit this site more and be more involved. First ever archery turkey and think I'll be grabbing one of these tags every year along with my deer tag. So challenging and fun to chase.

Wife and I have the September Cow hunt 9/13-26 Not the peaks hunt. I have been e-scouting and researching for a while, planning on making trips before the hunt chasing deer but this will be my first big game hunt in AZ, (Originally from NM). I am not necessarily asking for "Where do I go?" But...

Doesn't look like I drew for deer this year, so I'm planning on buying a bow and getting an OTC tag. Harvest success rates are for the whole year anywhere I look, not for a particular season. Which season do you all prefer? Which one will I have the best chance at success? Late Summer, December...

Hi Guys, I just wanted to report on my first weekend out bowhunting for deer. Went out Thursday and set up camp and checked out my glassing locations. Thursday evening hiked out on a finger ridge and glassed up the area. Saw lots of does and 10 elk for every deer, but no bucks. The area was...

So as I've posted before this will be my first year big game hunting since I was a kid and my first time ever archery hunting (deer). Due to work, kids, other trips planed this summer etc... I haven't been able to do any on the ground scouting and knew I would only have the chance for one trip...

Hi guys, I didn't get drawn for rifle elk or deer this year, but I'm planning to take full advantage of the OTC deer archery (hoping to go mostly after mule deer)! I've spent the few months doing a ton of e-scouting - I know boots on the ground is better but with work and the forest closures...

Hi! I lived in Tucson from 74-87, last century. I moved back last year, after about 10 years in Virginia, and 20 in Colorado. I got started in archery in 1980, and was fortunate to take a P&Y buck in the Tucson Mountains in 1981. I also hunt with rifle: typically in Colorado I hunted archery...

Well much to my wife's misgivings I bought a compound bow this weekend. Found a great deal on a PSE stinger 3g and couldn't pass it up. The good news, Ill get to hunt deer this year no matter what! The bad news, I may be sleeping outside!!! All kidding aside I'm pretty excited and looking...

Welp, I finally got out in the desert after some deer. And while I'm seeing some deer, I'm only seeing Coues does. This is my first year hunting western big game, and a Muley buck has been my dream hunt since I was a kid, I only thought I would get my first chance for one in Idaho or Montana...
