So as a new bow hunter I have watched a lot of the show and done a lot of research. I am getting my skills up to snuff with practice and training. One thing that I have found tough so far is that a majority of the info for BH is related to tree stand hunting in areas with deciduous (leafy) trees. The desert and mesas of AZ don't have a lot of those types of terrain (although the image of a stand on a Saguaro cactus is amusing). The public land structure of AZ also makes it very tough to get alone time with deer unlike all the areas in the show that are private or lease plots. The one thing I always see from AZ forums is GLASS, GLASS, GLASS then follow up with a stalk. I would love to see how people are blind hunting in AZ for deer. Are they getting the same results on grunts and rattles as the tree hunters in IL, OH, etc?? Any AZ hunters on this forum? If so, where are you forest hunting? Thanks, W
I think I would be very careful sitting down in that stand. Remember to look on the southwest forum on this site. It might helpyou find an Az. hunter. Good luck with your growth as a bow hunter.
I have bow hunted a southern az practically my whole life for huge muleys and the best success I had with blinds was over water sources about mid mornings and with the rut coming up there is no true way of patterning them but that would be my suggestion
I can't help out much, but I'll be down there in a few weeks to try my hand at a muley or coues. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk
