Arizona Arrowhead Hunt : July 2021

[@AncientAdventures]

Wow! Those Arizona points are killer! Great Finds!

[@thelittlebasinkid6016]

The rain really helps uncover the arrowheads and the land really needed it.

[@RogueOutdoorsmen]

Yeah, it still hasn’t rained hard enough yet to uncover some new stuff. Hopefully soon.

[@thelittlebasinkid6016]

It has here

[@shedmachine9915]

The main reason huh😂🤣 made for a good chuckle sweet video Sir

[@MinuteontheMountain]

Great finds, guys. Thanks for sharing.

[@treasurehuntingscotlandmud9340]

Well done great video

[@josephstollsteimer1556]

Sweet finds Trent some epic points

[@coriaaquila6488]

Awesome….. thank you… watching from Canada 🇨🇦 🫶

[@brandonbrooks5027]

Imagine the southwest before cattle, full pots and arrowheads everywhere!

[@RogueOutdoorsmen]

Yep. It would be a sight to see. My hope is that there are are few small pockets or areas like that still for me to find.

[@Dougarrowhead]

Yeah i bet you could even find whole arrows with the fletchings still intact.

[@tyronew6955]

Nice finds as always!! 👍

[@artifactsantlersoh]

Howdy guys, thanks for the laws/rules. We’re heading out to Scottsdale for a few days and want to try to locate a point for our first one out west.

[@straubdavid9]

Now that was very nice. Love the lithics and beautiful serrated point types. Thanks a lot for posting this vid ... take care & continued success to you.

[@RogueOutdoorsmen]

Thanks for watching.

[@ericadams7823]

Awesome finds you guys ...looking forward to some hunting vids hopefully you both get drawn this year...keep at it and like always you and your family stay safe 👍👍🦌

[@RogueOutdoorsmen]

Thanks for watching. We are doing another booth this year in Snowflake for the Pioneer Days weekend. I should have a bunch of new shirts and stuff in time for that. Looking forward to hunting season as well.

[@earlvinson]

Had a fellow viewer recommended this episode to me. We found a couple items at the resort where were staying in AZ. Even though I should have checked ahead of time, I appreciate the update on the local laws and regulations. Happy Hunting!

[@mattlamb4691]

Great looking country for points. Love the videos. Info a bonus. 👌

[@brianthebuckleywoodsman7869]

Hell of a spot on the shed Tif!! Cool. Awesome hunt N vid Trent!!! 👊🏻

[@JeffWhitaker-777]

Pretty cool, looks a lot like the ground that I hunt in Colorado

[@cleggsadventures]

What is bringing the arrowheads to the surface? Is it wind erosion or water?

[@RogueOutdoorsmen]

Both, it’s a high wind area. So we go out after bigger rains and when it’s dry, the high winds can expose new things quite often. But the both can cover things up if you don’t find them when they surface.

[@ReturnoftheCollector]

nice finds guys. love the serrated point

[@bottomjon9933]

Great finds! Would love to look around in the desert

[@smokeeater8387]

Another awesome video brother. Those are some great sites you’re on👍🇺🇸

[@RogueOutdoorsmen]

Yeah, we are lucky to live in an area with so many arrowhead locations. They are few and far between, but there are a few good pockets. It gets harder and harder each year to find them. It’s a non renewable item, there are only so many out there to be found.

[@smokeeater8387]

@@RogueOutdoorsmen Yep, no doubt. Every one you pick up is one less to be found. But really good sites that held multiple occupations will keep spitting them out after almost every good rain. Figure if there is a good spring nearby that puts out a decent amount of water could have supported campsites for ten or fifteen thousand years, if they dropped one point a year nearby that’s a load of points. All just depends, floods could wash away a ton, landslides and on and on. But I’d say some of your spots had a couple different periods so good luck brother. Love watching you and Tia pulling out the finds👍🇺🇸

“You see that thing, it’s part of a knife.” Proceeds to hand it off to a toddler. The best part he only bring’s his wife so she can open the gate.🤣🤣🤣

[@rockhunter6260]

Great artifacts Tia & Trent, you have a lot of open ground to hunt out there. Here in the Ozarks your real lucky to find any ground that’s turned over. Good luck hunting👍🏻

[@RogueOutdoorsmen]

Yeah, we are lucky to have lots of ground to cover. Plenty of areas to look for points.

[@jeremybrown5117]

Hunting in between Heber and Holbrook AZ. Great area, haven’t even begun to scratch the surface out there.

[@SonoraSlinger]

Those tiny ones are called bird points. Like the name implies, was probably used to hunt quail and dove.

[@fernandobelone3876]

Some nice finds...👍...what do you do with the tips you find...?

[@Ontario_Rockhound]

Cool finds.

[@777elkhunter]

Another great video Trent! I’ll have to send you a pic of the display my wife did with all the arrowheads and other points my Father in Law had...pretty sweet! Any word on when the state will open the forests back up?

[@RogueOutdoorsmen]

Most of them have finally opened back up.

[@wilddesertsage3212]

Love the videos brother!!

[@billcarlson8615]

Hi Trent, great finds on the Arrow heads. Another cool video. Can you get permission to look for Arrowheads and Sheds on Reservation land in that area, or is that a no go?

[@RogueOutdoorsmen]

Definitely a no on Rez lands for artifacts. I’ve never asked any Navajo guys/ladies if we can walk around the lands they live on and look for points though. Might try it sometime.

[@ThomasSmith-os4zc]

They were more interested in retrieving the shaft than the point because there was more work in the shaft than the point.

[@kylerich3606]

What is a preform I haven’t herd of that before?

[@flakescarred4life901]

a preform is an early stage in the lithic reduction process. it's basically taking a whole rock a reducing it to a smaller basic blade shape. usually an ovoid or egg shape. this is done, often on-site with a hammer stone, where the rock was found for easier transport and would be added to a collection of other preforms ready for the next stage to becoming a point or a blade.

[@relicman4420]

What town

[@MrMaximus1959]

What do you do with the elk sheds and arrow heads?

[@RogueOutdoorsmen]

I keep the arrowheads and sell 99% of the elk sheds to my antler buyer out of Utah.

[@scooterb8470]

Here in WA we have that similar law. Also, we can only "surface hunt." Digging is a huge no-no!!

[@RogueOutdoorsmen]

Same here. You can only surface collect “arrowheads” on public land since they aren’t considered “artifacts” and obviously the AZ state law like I discussed. You can still dig on private property, you just can’t “knowingly” dig up any burials, even on private property.

[@mrdark9916]

Im in North ID panhandle, pretty much same Ive always thought as digging and sifting as bullshit though, ive seen too many people trash places and leave them looking like shit afterwards. Ive found enough jaw dropping pieces hunting the surface, im happy with it.

It’s nice having her along, for the gates, and to help find some stuff for content.

U still need to respect native sites.. as native American we give offering to things we pick up n I don't ever see u give n e kind offerings... please respect us natives... no matter where ur at we left those arrow heads behind for a reason.. so please stop with ur arrow head hunting.... I will report this...

[@RogueOutdoorsmen]

We didn’t grow up w/ the same religious tradition or cultural practices as you, so don’t let your traditions influence your thought process on our “lack of respect” for “native sites”. The same way I won’t let your lack of grammar and spelling skills influence my opinion of your education. Please do report us. Report us to the same people/agencies that lease these state lands and BLM lands to ranchers, who then bull doze these lands, tearing out the cedar trees and bushes, smashing everything in their paths. Breaking countless artifacts and “non archeological specimens” on the surface and buried in the ground as the cedar roots are pulled up. Then releasing cattle onto these same sites for years, only to trample, break, and erase any remnant of historic travel or occupation from history. Unfortunately what we do is far less “destructive” as we are working to preserve these pieces, as they will end up in collections or local museums. The “government agencies” you want to report us to, don’t give 2 shits about preserving anything, as evidenced by years and years of destructive cattle grazing practices and current tree clearing contracts currently underway in the state.

@@RogueOutdoorsmen you want to comment on my grammar yet you dont understand how truly educated we are.

Good luck to you and your family because these things don't affect you personally they affect your loved ones. I'm sure the Zunis will say the same, bad juju doesn't just affect u it takes your family... Be well and take care dude.

[@RogueOutdoorsmen]

@@rabbitchaser4768 I guess it’s good luck we only had one kid, we’ll see how your wishful “bad juju” affects him in the future. He will be able to find points better than I ever could at his young age.

[@MrMaximus1959]

Since you’re all about respect. Please tell your Native tribes to stop taking countless fish, crab, shrimp, deer, and elk throughout the year. Especially killing off the females. Not ALL but many Natives have zero respect for fish and game. Putting out 200 crab pots per person off Vashon Island in Seattle, WA area to the point it only took less than 18 months to wipe out all the crab. Or to the Native I ran into with a Ford F-350 truck bed full of about 20-25 Deer that he killed on their Migration Route off Mud Creek Road in Entiat, WA. A the WA state F and G wonders why no deer are left in the Cascade Mtns. Yea we’ll when you have 1 Native killing 25 deer what did you think was going to happen. Natives abuse the resources like they abuse alcohol, and hide behind their treaty of 1815.
