It’s getting to be that time of the year here in Arizona. Hunters have been scouting, dusting off gear, and preparing for the upcoming seasons. Once the high country gets a bit cooler, the fishing should really turn on as fish start to fatten up for winter. In light of all the excitement, how about a giveaway. I try to keep things simple here on AZW, so here are the rules.
1. Leave a comment on this post and tell me what hunts or fishing trips you have coming up this fall and/or winter.
2. Leave a second comment on this post if you like Arizona Wanderings on Facebook.
3. Leave a third comment on this post if you follow on Twitter.
4. Leave a fourth comment on this post if you follow Arizona Wanderings on Instagram.
* Contest closes on Sunday morning and I’ll use the Random Number generator to pick three winners.
PRIZES
– First number gets $25 to Dick’s Sporting Goods, one of the new AZW hats, and one of my hand tied furled leaders.
– The second and third numbers gets their choice of shirt from the AZW shop along with one of my hand tied furled leaders.
A big thank you to Dick’s Sporting Goods for sponsoring this fall giveaway. I do want to say a few words about Dick’s Sporting Goods since they sponsored this review (how am I going to say no to giving one of my readers $25). I think Dick’s Sporting goods provides a needed middle ground for many people who are just getting into hunting and fishing. Let’s be honest, some of those big outdoor box stores can be a bit intimidating when you first walk in, but Dick’s Sporting Goods provides a well rounded approach to “sporting goods” and is an excellent segue for many new and beginning outdoorsmen. If you are looking for an online, brick-and-mortar, and catalog retailer of off-price merchandise, including offers such as the best place to purchase SARMs, fitness and adventure gear, and apparel, along with footwear, clothing, and home decor. Check out SierraTradingPost.com for more information.
If a girl’s not giving you the time of day, it’s easy to assume she’s just not that interested. Do not worry, there are many signs a woman is attracted to you.

FIRSTIES!
Cool Giveaway Ben, thanks for the opportunity!
Great giveaway…thanks Ben! I’ve got a couple of trips planned to Rocky Mountain NP to chase browns as well as one to South Park to hit the South Platte and another to the Gunnison area. I’m hoping I get these all in as things get busy this time of year…
Also, I like AZ Wanderings on Facebook….
Making my first journey to the Ferry in a few weeks! (will be sporting some of your fine furled leaders)
Keep up the epic reports.
Sweet!! I have a trip to the White River in Arkansas and to the north Georgia mountains. Both for some big browns and bows!
I also follow on Facebook.

The biggest upcoming trip for me is my 23N Early Rifle Bull hunt coming up Sept. 27. My Dad and I both have tags, so I am excited to be out there with (hopefully) rutting bulls and bringing home my best bull to date (wouldn’t be that hard!!)! Also looking forward to some small stream overnights this fall. We should talk…
I follow you on the book of faces too…
…and all the twitters
…and my only complaint is that your grams aren’t insta enough for me! 😉
Ben – love my new hat ! Off to the East Verde River this weekend. Fishing the Rim creeks 09/20 – 22 (East Verde River, Canyon Creek, Tonto Creek, etc.). Off to Lees Ferry the first weekend in October. Hope to get to the San Juan over Thanksgiving. Got mini-hoppers that need to see the water. As of today I’m at 29 on the water days for 2013. Keep up the good work (the browns in the Bighorn in Montana love them mini-hoppers….). Thx. Scott
I am getting married in October, and am marrying into a family that is huge into hunting. Being much less experienced, I hope that this fall and winter are full of opportunities to begin hunting and experiencing things I haven’t been able to try before. I’m sure there will be a few duck hunts, and of course, a lot of smaller stream fishing. Can’t wait for the upcoming season!

Thanks for this chance Ben! I always enjoy visiting your site! I’m hoping to get up to the Ferry towards the end of the year for my first time..

I am really stoked up about the next six weeks. Headed to the Green River in Utah the week of labor Day. Then the San Juan River the last week of September. Then Siver Creek opens up, it does not get much better.
When I get a break from school or on the weekends this Fall, I plan to explore the Rim, and fish Oak Creek. Not a planned trip, but I definitely want to fish Lee’s Ferry this winter.
I am headed up to Canyon Creek this weekend and then doing a steelhead trip up to the Rogue River in Southern Oregon this October. Totally stoked!!!
I am definitely liking the Facebook page!!

Headed up to the Adirondacks for a few days. I hope to fish some small mountain brooks for square tails and possibly hit the Ausable for the first time. I’m old school; no facebook, twitter or instagram !
Thanks Ben! I’m hoping to get to the Arkansas to fish for some browns before the spawn.
I follow on FB and just shared this link on Windknots page and Google+.
Tempe Town lake is my go to so I can fulfill my needs! Might do some archery deer hunting when it cools off in Decmeber.
Leave Michigan’s winter for Cochise County to hunt your 3 quail species.
Of course, I like AZW on Faceboook.
I’ve got a trip to the San Juan coming up last week in September. I am super stoked to spend an entire week chasing those monster rainbows and browns! I love fishing the Juan.
I also have a unit 32 Coues Deer hunt coming up in early November. Hopefully I’ll be able to tag on of these elusive grey ghosts.
I’ve also already liked AZ Wanderings on Facebook.
I’m now following you on Twitter.
I’ve got an elk hunt coming up (well supporting my Dad with his tag) and I’ll probably chase some carp until it’s cold. Then it’s steelhead on the Deschutes!
cheers.

Cool deal Ben! I didnt draw out for anything this year so the fall months will be spent camping, chasing quail and hopefully getting out after some trout as the water cools.
Love the site, thanks sharing all your stories.
Planned trips for this fall. First part of October heading up into the whites (not sure where yet, have not gotten that far). Also in December I have an annual trip to the Green River in Utah. Also have a quick trip planned to Southern Utah in september, going to explore the area around St. George to see if there is any decent fishing.

I would love a week in AZ hunting quail, but I will settle for some wild pheasants back home in Iowa.
I follow you on facebook and have an icon on my desktop to get directly to your blog/web site
No hunts or fishing trips planned however it doesn’t mean I won’t go. I have a baby boy due in November so no hunting for me. Fishing trips happen short notice.
Don’t have Facebook, twitter, or Instagram so only one entry for me! Good luck to all.
My next hunting trip will be the family’s annual dove slaughter, but then some archery deer hunts and turkey hunts are also coming up soon.

In addition to local outings (in SW Ohio), hoping to hit Erie / Penn for Steelhead, and Smokey Mtns. The Fall season will have me itching to hit the woods with the recurve for deer as well.

The above comment was for Facebook. Haha. This is for Instagram. I’ve been a stalwart follower since I got a smart phone. I’ve enjoyed it over the last year.
I do have to admit I just started following you on twitter. I can say that I’m now complete! You are apart if my life in every aspect. 🙂
Hopefully Chevelon in late October, and maybe steelhead in West Michigan in November… If I’m luck.
Hi Ben. I just got back from Maine and, soon, I’m gonna try my luck in Maui. Later this fall I’ll try a pack-n-fish (or a few of these) on the rim.
I like Arizona Wanderings on Facebook.
Ben,
No major trips planned, but I’m sure there’ll be some last minute, no plan road trips coming up. I’ll find out where I’m fishing when I get there. Annual whitetail hunt with the family over thanksgiving is a given too. Maybe some swingin for big dogs in tributaries while I’m up there.
+1 for facebook
+2 for the gram.
I will be fishing the streams on the rim, and quail hunting!
