You guys put so.e awesome bulls on the ground. Congrats on a great hunt.

I think that wind thing applies to everywhere in Arizona no matter what youre stalking. Creed, you definetely have more restraint than I, I would've got trigger happy and let fly at one of those little guys by day 2. better luck next time.

These guys have to be stopped!

That's my dream hunt right there. Amazing! did you guys go DIY or have an outfitter?
-
Wow! What a great bull, especially for a first. Congrats!

Incedible animal. Glad to see a diy guy shoot to the top of the list, at least for a year or two.

What an awesome bull! Congrats. -
Awesome buck! Congrats! No way I'd let that guy walk if I had the chance at him.
-
Awesome! Nice job! Thats cool that your kid got to do it with you, he's got some good stalking skills already.
-
Do you have a group rounded up already and what kind of dates are you looking at?

heck, its a discussion forum about hunting, he started a discussion about hunting. At 4 pages, seems like a few people found it interesting enough to throw their .02 out there. -
Is it possible to hunt elk each year as an AZ resi?

You bet. Any time you want. -
Sounds like one helluva an ole man to have. Glad to still have some of our 'greatest generation' with us, and I hope you celebrate at least a dozen more with him.

If you get the opportunity to make it down this winter and want to give it a shot, you're welcome to come and hunt javi's with my daughter and I. I can't guarantee you'll tag one, I'm just a working guy that hunts on the weekends. But there's usually plenty of leftover tags for the unit we hunt and the weather will be much nicer than Ohio in January. That much I can guarantee! I've got enough extra backpacking gear I could set you up for a 3 day haul. We'll hunt Friday afternoon til Sunday afternoon. -
site does seem quiet. I'm looking forward to some grip & grin pics. Good luck hunters!

Nice slideshow! I haven't been up to reavis in years, so need to get back up there. Thanks for sharing. -
Nice bull congrats!

+1 Id call it a win if I could manage to squeeze in a couple days. Only goal I really have for this year is to get my 15 y.o. daughter a shot at something. Shes a pretty good shot with her bow out to 30 yards and we have a jr. Javelina tag for November so I hope will have an opportunity between that and the late deer season. We've been trying to get it done for a couple years now, but my work schedule has not left us many days to work with. Next year we'll be heading back to Nebraska in the fall, so if we cant get it done in 2016, im sure we will then.

i got there stayed for a bit and then turned around. There was just to many pretty non hunters there. I did find a couple of very good elk spots on the peaks and saw a couple of small bucks, it was just the worst weekend to try it. Kendrick is not one of the peaks, its off by itself quite a ways to the west, almost right between williams and flag, take the park road exit and go north. If you take the trails up the south side, you'll probably have a little company, but nothing like on the peaks. If you take the north side trail (bull basin trail) you'll likely be completely alone. Theres a real nice wallow right on the trail (or there used to be at least). I always thought itd be a great summer time sit for photo hunting velvet bulls, but I never took the time to sit on it. If you're ever over that direction, its worth the hike. A lot different su nce it burned about 15 years ago but still a really cool spot. ive spent a few nights on that mountain, its a good trip.

Right on man, keep 'em coming. I haven't been able to do much of anything outside this year, it's good to at least be able to live vicariously through you guys! 7w is my 2ND favorite unit behind 27. Have you made it up to the to of Kendrick mtn yet? Tops out about 10400 and some change. Awesome hike, with a hundred mile view.
-
Nice! Awesome country we have here in az.
-
Thats a sweet looking build. What kind of glass do you plan on topping it with?

Prescott, verde river at sheeps crossing, and unit 27.
