The Fall Season Giveaway

Posted on August 22, 2013June 11, 2018 by azwanderings

Arizona Wanderings

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.

Giveaway

– 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.

If you’ve never been in to one of their stores before, check out their Hunting and Fishing collections

    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…

    http://www.FaithFamilyFishing.com is following you on all fronts, Ben!! 🙂

    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…

    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!

    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.

  20. Tyler K says:
    August 22, 2013 at 4:12 pm

    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.

  21. Bob T. says:
    August 22, 2013 at 4:25 pm

    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 !

  28. Howard Levett says:

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
