At what age would you start your child?
Hunting that is. I grew up hunting, since it was a way of life for us from when I was born. It was literally how we got our meat all year long, there wasn't really another feasible way. All supplies had to be ordered annually and they came on the barge with the icebreaker in the summer. I...- Griggs

Lion on my cam
I had no idea how to gauge the lion aside from size comparison, very interesting. I have a ton to learn about hunting lions, I found its very fresh kill many years ago, a deer partially buried under a tree, but I didn't realize what it was at the time, or that it would come back. Hindsight is...- Griggs

Arizona OTC
In my estimation that sounds about right. I used to see "herds" of about 6-8. Now I see sign of 1-3 at a time, sometimes going a year without seeing any sign at all. I can practically name the single bull in the area I hunt based off of his tracks.... Or the two cows he knows.... My wife... -

My most recent AZ OTC elk trip...
So my most recent scouting trip, I was doing the AZ OTC hunt. Spent years scouting the area, weekly trips, overnights, literally hundreds of miles hiking, trail cams all over the place, etc. I've taken a cow in this area before, and one spike, seen about a half dozen others. So I'm at the... -
Arizona OTC
I've done the OTC hunt since 2010, if I remember correctly. It is the only time I have ever gotten an elk, since I've never been drawn in AZ for 7 years or so now. There is a ton of work involved. It used to be an open secret, I'd never run into anyone out there, and saw a lot of sign and... -

Lion on my cam
I've been trying to get this lion for two years now. I don't use hounds, but this lion has been really local, not going very far. Lots of deer and elk sign in the area, had it jump out of a tree about 20 yards in front of me nd run off one time. Another time it jumped out of a tree about 30...- Griggs

Another AZ new guy to the forum
Thanks all. There's a ton of info floating around in here. And since I didn't get drawn again this year, gives me more time to try to dissect it all. -

Another AZ new guy to the forum
Hi everyone. New to the forum, obviously, I had been looking for a hunting forum to join and found this one. Grew up hunting in Canada years ago on the tundra, musk ox, caribou, etc. Over the years wound up in AZ and have been hunting there ever since.
