    For myself I like the Bipod on my rifle. When helping other, especially kids, the Triclawps is awesome. I've killed animals with both and when able to lay prone the bipod works great and when you can't the Triclawps adds some extra flexibility.

     

    Shouldn't you be elk hunting?

     

     

     

     

     

    I should be....be I gotta pay the bills! All these women in my life are expensive! I'm headed back Friday after work for the duration of the hunt.


  2. Congrats Nick, glad you were able to get it done!

     

     

    Nick congratulations! Great story and pics, thanks for sharing! I was wondering how it went, I had been checking every couple days to see if there was any noise on your hunt. Sounds like you guys cleaned house. Enjoy the table fare, it is the best! I just ate my last chuck roast from two years ago, gonna miss that bison meat in the freezer.

     

    I feel you on that. I'm starting to run low on my Buffalo and am getting very stingy with it.

  3. Because Bof A are anti hunters so I have read....

     

    Would be very surprised if that was the case. Last Spring I got a call from Bank of America in regards to the charges from AZGFD due to the fact that I had gotten multiple charges from them at the same time so they thought I was getting fraudulent charges. But when I told them they were legitimate charges they let them go through and I never had an issue with the tags.


  4. By the second hunt the bulls are getting very quiet after being pressured through the archery hunt and the first Peaks hunt. The better density at that point is either way up top or down lower beneath the boundary line. There's always elk to be found but that hunt gets tougher each year as they have been doing what the hunts was intended for....decreasing the number of elk on the Peaks. By the fourth hunt I would encourage your buddy to shoot the first branch antlered bull he sees, especially since he has never killed a big game animal before. The other nice thing about those tags is that they are "any elk" so if he is having a hard time finding a bull then he can always fill the freezer with a cow.

     

    Make sure he's in shape if he's planning on hunting up on the mountain. DesertBull is right that the area west of the peaks to the 180 is a part of that unit but you will probably be seeing about 75% of the cow hunters in there driving the roads since it's the one area that has road access. Not sure what the number is but I think it's 150 cow tags per season now so that area will have been hit hard for about 6 weeks straight by the time his tag rolls around.

     

    Hope I'm not coming across as Negative as any tag in AZ always has the potential of a great bull. But to be realistic it will be a tough post-rut hunt with limited glassing opportunities. I love that unit and especially the Peaks but it's hard to watch the herd get decimated in the name of "Aspens".


  5. Finally got around to getting some deer to the processor to make sausage and snack sticks through Denmark Sausage and they informed me that as of the first of the year they no longer accept wild game. Pretty bummed as they made awesome summer sausage and snack sticks.

     

    Where do you guys from the NW valley take your game for sausages? With deer I package my own steaks and roasts but then take the loose meat for sausage once I get enough for a big run.

     

    And I'm not currently interested in processing my own as I just don't have the time are space right now.
