I feel your pain. I finally drew an early archery bull hunt in AZ (few years ago). You guys know how hard that can be in Arizona. I spent 35 days scouting my unit, shooting my bow every single day for months before the hunt, and everything in between getting ready for the hunt. I friend of mine also drew the hunt. He rolls into my camp the day before the hunt, cracks his bow case that has dust all over it. He can shoot d!ck at 20 or 30 yards, but can hit the 40 yard target for some reason (first time shooting his bow all year). He asks me what water hole he should sit. I give him my honest opinion, and off he goes opening morning. Well that evening he comes back with a bull. He went to the water hole I told him to sit, put his blind 40 yards from it, and smoked a bull right through the heart. I hunt the entire hunt, and when I think I can't go another minute on day 14, my one and only opportunity presents itself, and I make a great looking shot. Well after tracking the bull for 6+ miles, and the entire next day, we never recovered it. Sh!t happens. Lol. To make it worse, the next year he draws a PREMIUM (usually takes residents 17-18 points to draw) archery bull tag in AZ AGAIN, and shoots a slammer bull on the second day just wondering around in a new area he never scouted. Haha. Some people have all the luck.
