    I have chased elk in September that we start out within a few hundred yards of water source, walked more than 7 miles only to end up 1/2 mile from where we originally started. 

     

    I am not a rifle elk hunter but I have taken people in the past and I found that elk like to be relatively close (less than 1-2 miles away) to water but they will be away from roads and will be in darker draws and canyons.  They do not like to move much during gun hunts.  If I see them moving past 9 or 10 in the morning it has been because they were pushed by another hunter.

    I have a  Satin Stainless Thompson Contender with two 14" barrels & scopes.  One is a .223 and the other is 7mm TCU  (this is a necked up .223 that shoots a 7mm bullet).  Also comes with rcbs  reloading dies, hammer extension, shoulder holster and some loaded 7mm TCU rounds.  I would consider selling if the price was right.  To be honest, I'm not even sure what they are going for so I would have to do some research.  I can post pictures later if you are interested.  I would consider trade for a double action .357, 4" or 6" barrel and cash.

    If this is something that occurs frequently then being pissed would be understandable.  Otherwise why escalate the issue.  Just go next door and ask them to move the car.

    If I resorted to drastic measures every time some body pissed me off or inconvenienced me I would still be serving time in Florence.  Light'n up folks.  Biden's not even in office yet and we want to start wars with our neighbors.

    Lots of good advice from many different people listed above. Livestock will not eat straw but they will eat hay if it's available.  

    I can't believe we still have red flag warnings in November.   Those late hunts are even going to seem colder without the ability to sit around a good warm campfire. 

    2020 sucks in so many different ways.

    If you’ve had 6 Kaibab tags and not tagged a deer I’d say your luck ran out long ago.

    Oh, I have had plenty of opportunities.  I am holding out for one those classic kaibab bucks that go well over the 200 mark.  I have seen a couple while hunting but things didn't work out for one reason or another.  It is very common to see 15-20 bucks per day but they are not all the big ones.  The most I have ever seen in a single day is 39 but that was 12 or 13 years ago.  Lots of 22-26 inch bucks running around up there but numbers drop dramatically once you start to get to 28" and bigger.  If and when I ever draw another 12aw tag, I will know the buck I want to shoot when I see him.  I'm ok coming home with my tag still in my pocket.  If hunting was just about killing, I would have quit years ago. 

    Good luck to the late hunt guys and be sure to post up some pictures when you get back.

    I have been trying for a late tag the last four years and I am getting tired of waiting and not getting to hunt.  Not getting any younger either.  I think I am going to give it one more try next year and then nothing but early hunts for me after that.  I'm not much of a rifle hunter any more but I still enjoy giving it a go for deer.  Congratulations to all the successful hunters so far this year.

    I have been on 6 or 7 of those late hunts one way or another since 2001 and only once did we ever get snow and that was the day we were packing up to leave about 5 years ago.  Usually it is sunny, cold, dry and very dusty.  Wind blows about half the time too.  If it rains, the roads down on the winter range get real nasty.  Not so much up top and in the mid range.  Good luck to everyone that is hunting deer this year, no matter where it is.

    I seem to remember something about that, I  thought I had heard were they had to get Some hunters out with snowmobiles. was around the 2010 time range I thought 

    This wasn't just the north Kaibab it was pretty much the entire northern half of state that got hammered from that storm.  The storm occurred during late rifle elk hunt and many hunters were stranded for days.  Like already said, many of the hunters from unit 8 all the way across to Heber/overguard had to leave their camps and trailers until the snow melt in the spring to get everything out.  It was all over the news.  Boy, we sure could use some snow like that again.
