very nice! I hate turkeys ...great job droppping one!...your right about being out in God's country...its awesome. I always think how can somebody not believe in a creator ....look at the land he created....its awesome!

thats the craziest thing I have ever heard... somebody had to say it. I agree mostly with what you said. Especially on the part about these yahoo's who are demeaning our sport. I hate driving down the road and see a bunch of people loaded up like illegals with bows in their hands driving roads. That has got to urk anyone on here. My uncle a couple years back was driving down spring valley road when a quad drives by with his arrow nocked...thats ridicolous...everyone see's this....the locals hate it and so do I...people like that create such a bad name for us. Last weekend was a joke too....I saw a family all dressed in camo...wife, boy, and little girl sitting in the back of a truck with the tailgate down...the boy had his bow ready to go if an oppurtunity presented itself....the dad should be ashamed of himself for teaching his son that.....Lark I agree with you for the most part...we need to start filtering out these yahoos...they are a joke to the hunting community

if they did it this way it would ease my mind about the subject

they should do the archery draw by REGIONS and not units...

Crazy$couse, does it really suck? If so what makes you say that? It does suck if you dont scout...scouting will make you succsessful...the game and fish provides good info....try those areas out and narrow it down...I suggest a good pair of optics

J butte...could have shot a spike at the base...hunt off the highway also...most underrated places

awesome job!!!...i bet the pics are gonna be sweet

those are some dandy looking bucks...good luck

way to go Tj!...that is great....its an inspiration for sure....that shoulder surgery did not stop ya....awesome job!

Hunting in a unit where I haven't gone before is a good question. Main answer is location. I was living down south and hunted down in 36 areas before because they were close where I lived and now I live in Mesa and I wanted to try and get somewhere closer so that I could get out and have more scouting opportunities and 24B is close to Mesa where I live. I totally understand...thats why I like it it is close to home...I have the same hunt...preseason scouting is a must to be succsessful...try and make a trip in their a couple times a month.....pm if you want some more specifics

its a sign that they are coming out with something better....that unit is awesome too...dont know how they can make it much better

there are plenty of deer in there....look on the game and fish website...gives you some good starting points.....I just have to ask..... I can understand it a little bit but....why do people put in for units they have never stepped foot in or have some idea of where they might start...? I just talk to too many people who do not even know what unit they are hunting in...they are like....I think its unit 14b???... nohoch...I am not hounding you in any way ... i do understand you are new and everything and have never hunted them before...just get out and do some hiking..you will learn the most watching these deer and getting first hand experiences with them...plus there is lots of great info on these deer on this here website

very nice!....sounds like a productive weekend

great write up...sounds like a great time. I work with Ben's brother...I think they are a class act family

cant afford it...I have swaros and a new riflescope to save up for.... do you want me to post the pics of your puppies?

exactly...thats the price change Leica gave us....kinda strange being that most of their products went up

I think the rangefinder is geared mainly towards rifle...which at longer distances on steep slopes etc. I think it could possibly be helpful. For archery I think its a waist. They do not have alot of options to set it up for your bow unlike the rifle. From what the instructions say inside the box if you are at a 40 degree angle shooting at 40 yards there will be a 4 yard difference so the rangefinder will tell you to aim as if it were 36 yards... Casey since you already spent the money on the Duovids I would go and buy any of the Leica Rf's/ i love them, I think they are great. The Lrf 900 dropped to $400 I believe and the 1200 is down to $500. The one I recommend is the CRF 1200...its a sweet rangefinder..it goes for $600. Its really compact and just like the other leica rf's the bright red read out is awesome.... by the way how much did you get for your Duovids...they dropped down to $2095 brand new I think that tilt compansating range finders are far more important for archery than rifle..... especially in steep conditions...... I see your point...but I guess I was trying to say that they made the rf geared more towards rifle...they did not put a lot of effort into making it for archery. Look at the directions they have a bunch of stuff for rifle but one litte paragraph for the archery side. I can see it benefiting tree stand hunters just a little bit. but like I said for how my pins are setup ...that yard difference wont make a huge difference in shot placement

I think they suck..........we have gone years without it...I dont think its even worth it. I just care about the yardage...none of this true ballistic range junk!

awesome!!!

awesome pics!...thanks for sharing

archer take a look at the one younghunter bought....welcome to the site by the way http://forums.coueswhitetail.com/forums/in...?showtopic=6306

I just went on the game and fish website...which im sure one of you guys already have looks like its gonna be very limited....best time to go is in Sep. or Oct TJ are you getting closer to being able to pull that bow back? Elk "Overview: The Unit 16A elk herd is unique in that it is located on a sky island, the Hualapai Mountains. It is estimated there are 40-to-60 elk in the range with approximately 20-to-25 bulls. A number of elk reside in the Pine Lake subdivision or within Mohave County Park lands where they cannot be hunted, but many elk avoid the subdivision and are available to hunters. The terrain inhabited by elk in the Hualapai Mountains is steep, rugged, and unforgiving. Vegetation is very thick and if the elk are not calling they can be difficult to locate. Anyone drawing a 16A elk tag should be prepared to work hard on both scouting and hunting trips. This unit is not known for producing large bulls, though elk in the 300-inch or larger range are occasionally taken. Hunt success in 16A, especially for archers, depends greatly on the timing and intensity of the rut. Due to the thick vegetation, spot and stalk hunting are not generally effective, as it is impossible to move quietly. If bulls are not responding to calls the next best thing is to set up on a water source or a well-used trail. Areas: It is important to note that hunting is strictly prohibited on Mohave County Park lands. Park maps and boundaries can be obtained from the ranger station on Hualapai Mountain Road in the park or by calling (928)-757-3859. Dean’s Peak: This is actually a series of peaks just north of the county park. Access is directly across from the park entrance or via two access roads which come off Blake Ranch Road on the east side of the mountains. The road across from the park entrance is blocked part way up so it is necessary to walk the last mile or so. Once to the top, hunters will find a large stand of Ponderosa pine interspersed with open meadows. There are also trails that drop off to the east toward Yellow Pine Spring. Wild Cow: This area southeast of the park on Flag Mine Road has a large Ponderosa Pine stand and a couple of water sources often used by elk. There is a large open area, the result of a fire a couple of years ago, where elk are occasionally seen. The thick vegetation above the fire is also a good place to locate elk. Sugarbowl Tank: This tank lies in upper Timber Wash and is generally a reliable place to locate elk. Access is via New Year’s Cabin Spring and Antelope Wash roads. Unit 16A tag holders should be prepared to do a lot of scouting. The areas above are just starting points. Elk are spread in low densities throughout the Hualapai Mountains and hunters should look for sign in and around any of the Ponderosa stands."
