    I drew unit 22 mule deer from 11/01 - 11/07 this year. I also have the elk tags for the same unit a moth later. I have been doing a lot of research on the elk. Any good starting points as far as areas for the Mule deer would be awesome

    I have one kennel for these dogs and as you can see its not your typical kennel. The dog house is 7' x 10' x 9'. it is fully insulated on all six sides and its is equipped with and A/C unit. They have only used it when the female is in heat the last two times. Many of the male's blood line come from Haus Von der Crossner Ranch and I am proud to have that line in my contribution to the breed of Haus Von der Schnee.  These animals are very well taken care of.

    I should have some Rottweiler puppies for sale ate the end of Sept. I am located is east Apache Junction, AZ.  These are German Rottweilers.  My male is 2 1/2 yrs and female is 1 1/2 yrs.  she will be in here 3rd heat in two weeks. They are excellent companions/pets. very protective of their masters and are excellent guard dogs.  Mine have champion blood lines in the working dogs  category. below is a pic of L: my male  R: female. you can PM me if you need more info or reply for general information.

     

    PS: West of Green Valley is looking good for elk. I was up there last weekend and saw lots of droppings.  I know its 8 months off, and no sheds yet.

    Also, There are quite a few places to stay.  I do have an idea of where I am going to start scouting now. I have a friend that is from the area and he did not draw a tag this year.  He will definitely have my ear because he lives in the area.

    I saw that there are a few BNBs that back up directly on the unit.  I was going to do some glassing and see in I could get one of those.  I do not think a tent is going to be an option for this hunt.  Last year the temp ranged from 30 ° as a high to 1° for a low.

    All of these are great tips.  Thanks for them.  I was hunting whitetail last Oct with a semi auto just for the reason of a fast follow up shot but also found that the rifle was too dang heavy.  I know that I would need a bullet and load for elk that is not a semi auto platform.  I have had the 06 for years and can deliver a follow up relatively quick. I think my comfort zone is within 700 yards tho and won't take a shot past that.

    I have taken a hunter ed coarse and know about the kitchen.  I just here of others that shoot for head, neck, spine etc and drop them in their tracks.  That was the basis of my question.  I have hunted in CA and here last year in 24B just southeast of Roosevelt. In Oct. I only saw one buck when I was scouting but, lots of tracks in the area so, I hunted there. I have yet to make a kill. I have however have bought a Hunt/fish combo every year for the last 10 years if nothing else to support the G&F and our wild life foundations.  I am a decent shot, maybe not the best on the planet but decent.  I will be hunting with a Savage 30-06 and using a load I have came up with. 168gr BTHP, 46.6gr IMR8208XBR powder.  Seems to be a stable and consistent load.  I have not put it thru a chrono yet but, I will be the next time I go shoot.

    Saw a video last night on gutless quartering. seems easy enough.  I know seems does not mean is.  I will be watching more videos and reading a little more about it. I'll need to get another knife, not that I need another but a good american made one would be nice. 

    I saw on weatherunderground that the overnight temp in Payson during the hunt dates last year was between 1° and 8°.  I guess that means that camping is out of the question.  I'll need to look into hotels or possibly renting a cabin for a week.

    So,  I have been told that I am extremely ill prepared for this hunt. More or less.  I have been told that I need a quad ATV or I will be eating the elk just to survive the haul back to the truck.  I had a buddy that said it took him 8 hours to drag an elk back to his truck  with an ATV and I had better have a wench in my flat bed trailer.  As it would turn out I do not have either.  My plan was to cut apart and take it 200 -300 yards at a time.

    I am new to Elk hunting.  I just drew for unit 22 south for 11/29-12/05 for bull elk and am trying to find out as much as I can about the unit.  I thought I would try and enter the unit from 34°17'29.83"N 110°51'41.55"W at least as a start.
