Hunting & Fishing AZ Bear Down

[ARodPDT117]

My buddies and I went out this weekend and ended up getting a bear Friday morning. Unfortunately is was the only one we saw, but that is pretty decent for public hunting in AZ for two days of hunting. She had the best coat any of us had ever seen and the best coat the taxidermist had ever seen. Jet black glossy, no rub marks, scars or white patches. She was 350 pounds based off chest/breast measurement system and just shy of 6' foot, she was a short fat and a very large sow as far as AZ is concerned. We named her Oprah...

Second photo is the killer.

Re: AZ Bear Down

What part of AZ did you get her in?

Re: AZ Bear Down

it is definitely a great place to hunt and the over the counter tags provide a lot of opportunities to just get out and be in the woods (archery deer and turkey, rifle bear, and even some depredation hunts, which a 419" bull was killed on this year already) especially since drawing tags seems to be rather difficult for me, ha ha

we got her in 24a...which is north of Globe
