That way you might be able to enjoy - the real thing.

    Help Arrest this poacher!

    Almost right.... always the-- BUT, But you will not be tasting the elk steaks or enjoying the trophy. All you can think is--- why in the heck , DID I - NOT HAVE A FOOL-PROOF PLAN? I have heard that over 50% of all the big game taken -is by poachers. But (again) has anyone ever heard -truthfully- what % of the poachers -- get convicted?

    Ethics & morals: You are right- definitely different. This is how I see it, after 7 5 years of hunting. In the Bible gods rules & laws of Morals are very clear . One law about hunting is ( do not waste , take only what you can use ) Ethics are made up by people who believe that they are smarter, and what hey say will have more influence upon the actions of people. Most modern day ethics are good, but lots are far from realism , or good sense, as described clearly in the most followed book ever written. I could list some of the senseless ones , but each person has an opinion.

    Going Goulds hunting in 35A!

    I know only one thing for sure about the AZGFD big game draw: Unit 1 one early bull hunt is one of the most difficult to draw. I know one other thing - without LUCK you are S O L. My wife -on her first application drew Unit 1- E B H, Then 5 years later 2011, she drew the same hunt again; with minimum points. So, How do you - rate this? I have been applying for big horn since it all started. Now I'm 82 with failing lungs, heart & Cancer -for 5 yrs. I know when it's time to quit. But, being as my wife is extremely lucky and a very successful hunter; I may ask her if I could be her guide on her BIG HORN SHEEP HUNT-- when she gets drawn!.... (She really likes her 257 Weatherby Mag).

    Unit 11M bull hunt

    WOW! You must have seen my ( Hunting Plans )Book , Because you described my 2nd. best plan; It,s on page 5 of the book. I used this exact plan to harvest my ,largest Bull-ever : In 11 M . In 2012 early hunt. He is a HUGE-GIANT 410+ , OLD HERD BULL , with approx 50 cows. Many hunters saw him up there , but he always eluded them all. But with this plan , It was so easy- each step fell right into place. Wow- Now he is the outstanding ** STAR** a.mongst , All my trophies. Some time , you might like to hear -just how the #1 plan in my ( plan book ) worked out ? * I do not sell hunting books, or offer advise. The SEEKER
  9. I agree- who wouldn't! Sitting is boring . I think for archery - ambush is more successful. Bit still I am the SEEKER, CHASER,& ( the old saying) get m -while they are there!. My SAMSON -IS FAST, FLAT ,ACCURATE & EFFECTIVE -ALL REASONABLE RANGES!
  10. C/P- Thanks for you answer.Yes ,a full mature bull is o k . Because the odds of a really nice bull are - not good. I saw a really big one in 6 b a few days ago. But he may not step over into 11 M. Too much going on.
  11. I've had my 10 x 50 nk. over 20 yrs,still good enough. If I need to see see it better, i just become a better seeker. This is my best mule-32 inside.
  12. C/P ....See that you live in Flagstaff. Seems to be a good place for outdoors men. Saw your discussion on sitting water. Sounds good. Especially for a man of my age 82.. I Tagged a really big bull (400+) in 2012 this way. This year I will not try for a huge bull. Just wondering if the elk are very vocal yet? I was thinking about trying Schultz area first?What do you say? My second choice - flagstaff-Ranch area. Are you hunting this year? Thanks

    Taxidermy advice

    This is my 44 , bull elk hunt ,and my last hunt. Physically O K (stre I modified it to a ngth) But things are wearing out. Cancer for 7 years; Many heart surgeries,, and I Am still here. God (Jesus Christ) has kept me living through all this for some reason. He has answered my request, while I was defending this U S A . I may guide for my wife, 20 years my Jr. She has taken 2 really nice big bulls in area 1, 2005 & 2011. I was never able to get drawn for the early bull hunt there. This is my elk hunting bow ,( Bow Tech 105 lbs draw. Samson. I modified it into a vertical -CROSS BOW.) Shoots easy, very fast , accurate,quiet, and most important= no movement -before the release! The bull is totally unaware , until he hears the string. He has no time for movement.( string-jump) I shoot short shots. under 35 yard -only----could shoot 80 -but I like to be sure.

    Going Goulds hunting in 35A!

    Bob, You are a lot luckier than me. I'm 82 , never been drawn for early bull. Put in for Bighorn - since the draw started; Not going to put in again Too old & why wast money. Good luck with the game -called draw. If it was the Old West Draw -- skill or luck would be - most important.

    Going Goulds hunting in 35A!

    I HAVE HUNTED 35 A about 50 years- know the area about as good as anyone. Yes, you can do it just as you said . maybe you should get one with an all wheel drive- for the small back roads, Sometimes we have big storms about Turkey-time, But it dries up fast. Good luck. You should have no problem finding a nice Gobbler. Gould Gobblers are big, and the most beautiful off all turkey. I know of about 8 watering holes - right off HWY 83; That could end your hunt too quick.

    Taxidermy advice

    Wow,,, Read this page over a few times & any HUNTER, OF SOUND MIND, would disregard all these ( made-up ) scores. I think that's a reason why -friends of animals_ & -defenders of wild life- have their negative opinion of animal-killers.

    Taxidermy advice

    I am a master taxidermist, over 50 years , Now retired . So. I am not offering to do it.. But , I can tell you the fact, this is the most common problem- in this business. This happens frequently. Is very difficult for the customer. The only way that I have seen it corrected ,is legally. That cost time & more money. One thing that might work:; Offer a little more reason , to get it done - promptly. Like 30 days; If he still has your -Parts. * One of my archery Coues( I mounted it several years ago).

    Unit 11M bull hunt

    I made no video of my bull. Only photos. A Elk hunting guide made a video of him & his herd a few days before I harvested it. It's been on you tube since then. Called-(huge Arizona bull). Hope this helps , with your question. Pictures are above..
