Good luck. This hunt should be a little more tire friendly. Although apparently not grill friendly.

I sure hope that at 91 I am still able to walk let alone go hunting and shoot a buck. That is awesome. Congrats to you and your dad. Hopefully there will be several more.

Great video. That buck at the 9 minute mark was really nice.

That is an awesome buck. One of the best yet this year.

Wow that is a lot of money for a head. Looks a lot like the Jim White pan head too.

Congrats on a great buck.

Congrats on one cool looking buck! That is awesome.

You had to have taken the course in another state after 1985 and have proof. It is an all day class up in Kingman somewhere around the beginning of the year. The thread was on here just the other day as Heat mentioned.

That is awesome. Congrats to everyone involved.

It isn't really for the youth. It is for people like me that took hunter education when I was 14 in Idaho but need to complete it here too so that I can get my permanent bonus point. I wish it was closer and I would sign up. It is nice that they offer it instead of having to do the entire course again.

Congrats Lance on a great hunt. I wish I could get my Paige out there hunting.

That is just awesome. Congrats to you and Kembria. You guys are setting the bar pretty high for the rest of us out there. Good luck this weekend. I'm sure you won't disappoint us.

If you are a spot and stalk hunter I wouldn't get anything over 10X. That way you can use them for glassing and while you are stalking too. I would get something like a Vortex Viper or in that line and start saving money. Just have the mindset that they will be temporary.

It is a great year to have a tag. I have seen some monsters this year between the Governor tags, raffle tags, early rifle and archery. And now muzzle loader. The day after Thanksgiving can't come soon enough for me.

Congrats to your son. That is one happy little guy there. Way to stick with it. And a heck of a shot.

That is awesome. Congrats to you and especially her. Quite a difference from when I was in the Air Force. They let us touch a rifle on one day. And it wasn't even a real M16.

It's all cool until some idiot posts a picture of himself and the buck saying he shot it 20 miles away. I have seen a few while playing golf at Gold Canyon throughout the years.

As AZkiller noted it is hard to get rid of the bermuda right now. It has started going dormant for the winter. When I redid my last yard I had to wait until it came back in the spring. Then I sprayed it a couple times to make sure it was dead. I then rented a sod cutter and took a couple layers of roots. It turned out pretty good.

Good luck.

Congrats on a great bull. Hopefully you were able to get your truck close. That is a lot of meat to pack out.

That is awesome. Way to get it done Draysen.

I was one of the hunters from this last January that hunted ranch 2. I would hunt the ranch again in a second if everything worked out. Here are a couple pictures of the buck I ended up shooting. I can tell you that I missed a bigger buck more than once the night before I shot this one. I had a blast and the ranch is beautiful. I would be glad to answer any questions that I could if it mattered. I am out of town for a few days but I am connected.

Well done on an excellent bull. You are one of very few that can say they passed a 400" bull. Quite the distinction. Good luck to Draysen on his hunt. Look forward to the story and pictures.

Just the number of tags given out can be misleading. I am more concerned about the success rate of those tags given out. I have hunted the late archery bull elk hunt in 23 a few times in the past. They give out so many tags but the success rate is about 5%. Doesn't make much of a dent overall. If the success rate was say 50% I would have a problem with the amount of tags given.

Good luck. Looking forward to another of these posts. They have been the best threads on here for quite a while.
