For the early hunt-make sure you go to the Buckskin camp. The kids have a blast there-archery, free food, drawings for prizes, etc.

Why nuke it. Always enjoy trail cam stuff. Thanks.

I do remember you, Mike! That's the amazing part about sheep hunting- all the people who show up to help. Like no other hunting I've ever done.

I'll be there in Nov with my grandson hoping for his 2nd big game animal..he has none so far but has a 4a youth elk tag Oct. 12 first. Good luck to all the young hunters!

I hunted it in 2010 when there were 4 tags. Lots of sheep but nothing very big. Got mine on day 15 when I came to realize that the 160 I hoped for just wasn't there. Still a sheep tag in 15bw is better than spending your life hoping for a tag somewhere else. The experience and memories are still what make a good hunt IMHO. I think the unit has gone downhill from then till now. Best of luck!

34a muzzy any antlered for me (2nd choice)- mildly enthused. ... late kaibab youth for grandson=really excited!

Great news. Hope it does it every day for awhile. I was scouting 4a this week- dust bowl and every tank was dry.

If it's like the past - around July 12

Now that I know I'll be taking my grandson to Kaibab Nov 9-12, wondering if anybody who has done that hunt can give me some pointers. Will the deer have moved out to the lower country, or does that happen only when the snow starts. No predictable pattern? Due to a tight schedule , I plan on going up a day or two early, but that's it. I'd like to at least have a general idea of where to start. Did the mid October hunt 2 years ago and there were deer all over the place, but up on top. Thanks in advance for any help.

Look at your available balance. The difference between it and your balance showing is pending charges..Cabelas takes a couple days to post

deer(prob late nov coues) hope early kaibab....late youth hunt for grandson

7:05 Friday

I have the 10x14 and highly recommend it. ( Competitive Edge has the best price on them.) I can put it up in 10 minutes. Very heavy duty vinyl floor!

That's simply awesome that she's doing well!

my thoughts exactly

Here's food for thought...they banned campfires last friday, someone started the tinder fire with a campfire. They banned camping except at approved places- nobody seems to pay attention. They closed lots of roads on national forests, nobody pays attention. How are they going to enforce this?

Good job-congratulations!

It would be nice for this thread to end. U of A fans will always hate ASU and ASU fans will always hate U of A. Lets all go fishing!

Got it- I didn't realize elk/antelope 2018 was posted yet. Thanks. Easy to see how it happened. Even 4a with double the # of tags from the previous year , 4 points wasn't a slam dunk.

And BC777- where do you get such detailed information?

Ahhhhh. Now it makes sense- thanks.

Maybe someone can help with something related. My grandsons had 4 bp's and drew their 2nd choice youth elk tags- 4a. 5bs/6a was first choice, which has 500 tags. Their tag #'s are 34 and 35. How could they draw such low tag #'s and not get their first choice? They would have to have issued all 500 tags for their 1sr choice for that to happen and the odds for the 2 hunts are pretty similar. I'm not complaining because they still have good tags- just trying to figure how this scenario is possible.

My daughter hit and killed a young cow elk several years ago near Clints Well. I called G and F to ask if I could salvage the meat. They told me to call the local sheriff and he would meet me and issue a salvage tag and yes I could salvage the meat. I followed all the rules, never got a return call, and the elk spoiled. Total waste. Why make rules if law enforcement doesn't do their part.

What are you guys' thoughts on using a .243 for cow elk. We have 2 youth tags this year. One of my grandsons has shot a .243 up till now .
