Here is a tip to prevent getting an eye cramp from glassing with a spotting scope. Get an eyepatch with an elastic band from a pharmacy or drug store. Wear it on your non-glassing eye. It allows that eye to relax. When finished glassing wrap it up in the spotting scope cover. I have done this for decades. Try it out.
❤ Been hunting, packing, and eating southern Arizona deer since 1961. Worked hard for some , others almost fell in my lap. Did not draw a tag this year.
Great to hear you talk about the impact of the drought. I live in Tucson and have hunted those units down along the border for 30 years now. Its been more like a 20 year drought, the quail have completed moved out of some areas that used to be the best hunting around. I also believe there is a problem with over grazing but I am not trying to beat up the ranchers. Its also become dangerous just to be in the units along the border always pack a side arm.
I’ve heard some horror stories of hunters running into traffickers or illegals… have u had any issues? Steve Rinella and the meat eater guys ran into some cartel guys.
I drew a tag for coues or mule deer in Unit 26 in NM. I live in the ruidoso area and it was not a great rain year for us in 23' but not a straight drought. Anyone know how Hildalgo county did in 22 or 23?
Randy bringing up the only doe season is youth in the Kaibab brings back memories for me. That is the season I took my first deer in almost 25 years ago. I haven't lived in AZ for over 20 years now. While I have enjoyed tremendous success hunting deer where I'm at now, I do miss the western style of hunting that I grew up with.
Hey Marcus, you rock! Don't care about Randy's occasional digs. Randy knows you rock and he truly appreciates you. I wish I could take 30 years off of my age. Good job gents! Cheers!
15 year old Daughter and I finally drew a tag after putting in for a few years. We had a hard time finding any Couse the first 2 days. I killed a legal spike buck on day 3. Then we saw deer almost everywhere we explored on foot. Got on a great buck on day 7 and just could not get my daughter inside her effective range of 200 yards. We were the only out of state hunters we met. Camped next to a great family. Can hardly wait to get drawn again. Mostt favorite hunt i have ever been on.
That's my story after the meat is put away & my stomach has food THEN WOW HOW SOON CAN I DO THIS AGAIN - no comment on language or my thoughts getting it packed back to camp GOOD JOB RANDY & MARCUS 😊
Randy, YOU are my inspiration! I always look forward to your content. You and I are the same age. I live through you and other RUclips content providers vicariously.
adjusting tags should always be done by the biologists not the politicians as seems to be the case in some states. Looks like a good time with friends Randy.
Congrats on a great buck! Also amazing job of packing everything edible out. There’s a Coues hunt on the Hushin channel where only thing that Eric took was the head and back straps. The carcass was clearly visible behind him as he packed the head out.
Bad management and predator pressure has as large if not larger impact on populations and fawn recruitment than drought does. 20 years ago you would rarely see a lion. Every year since they banned trapping we see more lions and fewer deer. Last year's hunt alone I glassed up 4 different mature lions in only 4 days of hunting. Didn't even see 4 bucks during the same hunt.
The reason why tenderloins, or any cut really, is rubbery if cooked the day of the kill is the meat hasn’t completed to process of going into and out of rigor.
If Arizona can afford golf courses in its most arid places it can afford state funded conservation efforts from its local organizations and universities.
@@Fresh_Tracks I still manage to pack out a cow elk in two trips but it's getting harder and harder. Deer, antelope etc I can do one trip. Have you ever tried pack wheel? I'm thinking of getting one.
I'm a bigtime fan of Randy but the secret of more opportunities monologue was very wrong Sorry but we had good rain for two years plus The predation on fawns pronghorn specifically was not even mentioned and it is 80 percent or more 80s also has no social media making hunting population exploding not to mention how many more people live here now Hunted in 23 late Coues last year and was lucky to draw tag also so Xmas was special Did you see a lion? Minus lots of deer right there too
@@jameywaite7396 look at the trends over a 30, 40 or 50 year period. The direction of travel is clear. It is getting rapidly hotter and drier. Those are facts, but I know some idiots prefer to pretend science isn't a thing.
I live there and I was thinking the grass looks pretty good! It’s Arizona! My understanding is that the archery quota applies to residents as well, fwiw.

thanks for listening to the feedback and including the caliber and the bullet type again.

Great hunt & hike fellas. Always a fun show when you have Wade and your posse, Randy. Marcus is always a treat on your hunts.

Redlined the goofy meter! Ha, I like that, congrats!

I do appreciate him. I couldn't ask for a better guy to share these hunts with.

Thanks for watching. I hope you have a great season in 2024.
Congrats on a really cool buck. I liked the character of this buck as well. Nice hunt.
I’m sitting here munching on fresh Javelina jerky from two days ago as I’m watching this video… life is good!
Good job Randy, good job!

Thanks again to you and your crew for another great hunt!
That was a really cool buck Randy congratulations sir!👍🏻🇺🇸🦌
Great video! You and Marcos make a great team! I also like seeing Marcos on the other end of the camera too!
definitely redlined the goofy meter! very cool

Cool buck! Thanks for sharing!
congrats Randy, cool buck.
Congrats Randy!
Good job boys 💪 and great job randy climbing them hill I know it's hard hope I can still hit hard at that age ❤
Great Goofy Buck!
Wow, nice buck 👍
Hi Randy my name is Kalliope. My dad met you at the Sheep Show in Reno. Can you be hunting buddies with him?😃
The reason why tenderloins, or any cut really, is rubbery if cooked the day of the kill is the meat hasn’t completed to process of going into and out of rigor.
Welcome to Arizona.
If Arizona can afford golf courses in its most arid places it can afford state funded conservation efforts from its local organizations and universities.
Next time you might wanna fry or toast your burritos in that yummy oil 🔥 marries the tortilla and it’s texture perfectly to the contents 😩
The word is Chimichanga 😊
Hello Randy. Always enjoying your videos
If you don't mind asking, what caliber do you shoot?
Around the 17:15 mark, we show it is a 7mm-08 Nosler 140 grain AccuBond.
Wish we could get that calibre in Ireland
Lions don't worry me, now snakes are worrisome
i read a tip so i won't say it but agrre with the eye patch iv'e used one for years no more headavches or eye strain. what unit u in
That made me hungry
I love those old bucks! Nicely done. Did you get the tooth age results back from Matsons?
Waiting to get it back.
@@Fresh_TracksHowdy friend just curious if you ever got that tooth aged? I drew a tag for unit 26 in NM this year so I really enjoyed your content.
Wish you could have gotten footage of the lion
Put your binos on a tripod, that will save your eyes. Randy looks old and slow.
Great video but you guys need some serious help with rolling burritos.
How much does your pack weigh and what is in it, if you don't mind my asking?
Probably 30 pounds. Lots of spare production gear, spotter, tripod, game bags, knives, water, first aid kit, some food.
I guess old age doesn't allow you to pack out the whole thing in one trip since you say you wouldn't be able to do it. Anyway good hunt.
Marcus and I got the entire thing out in one trip. No way I could have done the entire thing by myself.

Sorry but we had good rain for two years plus

Did you see a lion?
Minus lots of deer right there too
And a super nice buck too congrats
Randy, I have a buddy that lion hunts Southern Arizona. Would you be willing to share in private, where you saw those lions?
Yup. Not sure how to reach you. Send and email here and I'll reply as soon as I get off the road - contact@RandyNewberg.com
@@Fresh_Tracks Thank you sir!
Rifle sling??????????????
That lion you ran into might have a lot to do with why you arent seeing as many deer.
You could have least got some fresh homemade tortillas down there instead of store bought crap
This is what climate change looks like people. Places on the margins are hit worse. Such a shame. Glad Randy at least got a gnarly buck
No this is what Geo engineering looks like
Crazy. 2023 it was dry, Ton of moisture this year. Its almost like climate naturally has ebbs and flows.
