Took this yesterday evening after a rare late October thunderstorm. Reservation Lake.

This is show low not Heber. We have laws

Good Luck to all headed out. Looking forward to seeing some bucks hit the ground.

We’re moving to the Midwest. Our home just outside of Show Low was listed today. End of a dirt road. 2.5 acres. Backs up to National Forest and has direct access. Directly in the heart of 3C. We have bulls in our front yard every week. Trout fishing 7 miles away! Shed hunt out your back door or relax in the hot tub and listen to the bugles! Will include all of my OnX pins from the last 6 years of exploring and hunting through 3C, 3B, 1, 22, and 27. https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1866-Simpson-Well-Rd_Show-Low_AZ_85901_M29920-38978

It was like eating a baseball glove.

Sorry you hate the price. The realtor said to list at $620k which I think is insane. So I think we priced it fairly. If you look at the homes near me for sale, you’ll find manufactured on 1 acre with no forest access for $520k. It’s out of control which is one of the main reasons we’re leaving

I continue to be fascinated by these stories. I am one of those people who like to hear how everything played out with all the the details. Old animals garner even higher respect in my book. Anything that can live that long with so many trying to kill it is pretty special. Thanks for sharing.

I found this fascinating. I killed an old bull last year and couldn’t wait to find out what he got aged at. Turns out he was 14. https://azgfd-portal-wordpress-pantheon.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/25151324/2024-AZ-Elk-Harvest-Age-Results.pdf

23 General Javelina for me. Four months to figure the unit out.

Curious, how did it taste? Tough?

Watched a meadow with 18 bulls in it this evening- there was 4 different pairs fighting at the same time & they weren’t play fighting either , they were going at it hard , tongues hanging out ….. it was crazy - never seen anything like it , that many at once ….. all bulls would of fit in about a football field .

I sure get tired of "NOT DRAWN"

I bred and raised this to eat. After his birth I sold off the other cattle and kept him. He's about 3 years old.and I've dumped more than $2000 into him. Beef is getting really pricey but I just don't eat beef much anymore. I don't know his exact weight. I'm guessing over 1,000 lbs on the hoof. Brahma gave him his size as Angus tends to be smaller. Limousine gave him his length. Angus gave him his flavor and propensity to put on fat. I would like to get $1,750 for him. If he nets 600 lbs that would be about $2.91/lb plus slaughter fees. Slaughter/butcher fee add about $1 per lb.. The steer has no shots and was raised on my pasture and quality hay grown in the SRP Indian Reservation. I'm located a couple of miles East of Bass Pro Mesa. Get with some friends and divide up the meat and the cost.

Adam does an awesome job

Drop them in your neighbor's jacuzzi with a little detergent and vinegar then hang dry. 😎

Price seems good to me. (I can’t afford it)

I still rememeber the first animal I ever killed, a squirrel with grandpas 22. Watching my son when he killed his elk. He was jacked up. Watching my dad draw back on a bull in 4b. Stepped on a twig and spooked it, but he was shaking like a leaf. Thought he was going to fall down. My dad was a pretty even keel guy, so to see him lose it like that is something I'll never forget.

Great thread. Brings so many great memories to mind. Early 70's we decided to hike in with a full moon and camp on the mountain my old saw a huge buck the year before. My brother and Dad found a good spot for me to sleep at and then they left to find their own spots. That was the longest night of my life. In heard a pack of coyotes going crazy in the direction of my brother. I thought he was getting eaten by them. After about 2 years the sun was finally coming up. I poked my head out of the sleeping bag and spooked a couple of does bedded down about 10 yards from me. Went and found my Dad and told him my brother was probably dead. We found him glassing a ridge. He never heard the coyotes yapping. Finally got back to the truck around noon and found mountain lion tracks all around the truck. Needless to say this 13 year old slept in the truck the next night.
