    AZ Troutman, I think we get hung up on #'s. If we actually saw all the bucks that come off the strip and Kaibab, there are plenty that are far less than trophy status by the numbers game. The reality of unit 3a/3c is it has plenty of mature animals of trophy status. Age class is there just need to have the patience to sift through them or you shoot the buck that you are happy to hang your tag on because that is what really matters. I am stoked to have the December hunt and like most guys will be working my butt of to shoot a buck of a lifetime. At the end of the day we are super blessed to have the opportunity to hunt such a great state! Respectfully, Mark

    I don't know if that's true...1 point is just over 1% draw odds for October.... hopefully know this week yet

    My 11 year old with 1 point for October hunt or me with 11 points for December hunt???? Now that's a tough one to speculate on...we shall see!

    Unit 8 early archery bull

    Stanley, I have a 11 year old boy and 12 year old girl with late bull tags as well. Some of my favorite spots are on 🔥🔥. I was just up there scouting 2 weeks ago and getting pretty excited. Let's pray for rain and we'll reassess when things settle down 😕

    Unit 8 early archery bull

    Congratulations to your wife on a great tag. Unfortunately, right now we have a large fire burning the east side of unit 8 along Sycamore Canyon pushing north and east. The damage is yet to be determined, but currently over 20K acres burned. Elk are found in healthy numbers throughout the unit including the wilderness during September. Canyons are where bulls grow and hide late but become vulnerable during the rut moving to the cows in easier terrain. For the rut I typically locate waters getting hammered by cows and the bulls will show when it's time. Good luck!

    Max's Kansas Turkey Hunt

    Flew back to Kansas for a few days to do some work on the farm, set some stands, minerals, cameras, and the highlight of our spring............. Turkey hunting! Incredible as usual and Max bagged his biggest bird to date with an 11" beard. Sorry about the photo fails....ggrr.

    Covid, whos had it and how are you recovering?

    Fellow outdoorsmen/women, I would first like to express my condolences to any who may have lost someone to this virus and for those that continue to deal with challenges from it. I pray for your endurance and speedy recovery. Despite all the varied opinions on best prevention, rights, and other nonsense the one thing that is certain is this has taken its toll physically, psychologically, and emotionally on people especially our young ones and elderly. We can't control alot of things but what we all can do is treat each other with dignity and respect. We never know what it took for that other person just to get out of bed each day. Give people the benefit of the doubt. Let go of old grudges. Tell our family everyday that we love them. Teach our kids to do good deeds for our elderly community. Be humble enough to allow ourselves to be wronged for the sake of peace. Stay safe and shoot straight, Mark

    Audad hunt

    Just got to see these in person as they were getting caped. Awesome animals! Congrats!

    Elk draw: ( my mistake!)

    I now see. If you apply for a higher fee tag then automatically have to pay full price even if 2nd choice youth is drawn....bummer. I did not realize that was how that was applied.

    Elk draw: ( my mistake!)

    Elkaddict, I may have missed something. If he drew the hunt you highlighted it is in fact a youth only hunt and should be $50. Am I missing something?

    22N Early Rifle Elk

    Excellent, I am excited for you guys. Grab a flatline map of the area and if your circumstances allow get up there camping this spring and summer and get to know roads, water sources, and trails. As it gets closer keep us posted on how things are going. Mark

    22N Early Rifle Elk

    In my opinion his research is fairly accurate. The unit as a whole has gone down in quality. I have helped 5 guys on late rifle hunts and went 4 for 5. Mostly taghorns but saw a couple dandies. That said it still holds some great bulls and having a rifle in hand, the pretty/rut, and first crack at them leans some odds in his favor. Keep me posted on how your scouting goes. I know that unit well and might be able to help. Congrats to to him! Take care, Mark

    22N Early Rifle Elk

    Burn 12 on a hunt that takes 20+ to hit bonus round? I wouldn't say that is burning. I believe they switched that to an early hunt this year and may impact how much bugling and rut action you encounter. If his heart is set on a trophy early rifle hunt and willing to potentially wait 10-15 more years than turn it in. If he wants a really good hunt for a 320-350 bull with potential for better it's a great choice. My opinion of course, Mark

    The peaks tag

    Congratulations on the tag! Yes, calling is very effective in there that time of year. I took a buddy from South Carolina last year on archery hunt and saw over 30 bulls before he killed his. Look at topography, location of springs, avalanche chutes and you will find the elk prefer a certain elevation and type of topography. We ran into lots of guys who couldn't turn up a bull and I was sick of calling taghorns in. It's not magic just need to know what elk need and how they behave....comes from lot's of time in the field. Good luck, Mark
