Interested in any trades?

Hey Elk hunters, my names Charlie and I drew an awesome tag with 8 points. Didn't think I would draw my first choice but luck had other plans. This is my first Archery elk tag in AZ. I've been saving my points up because I have been in an Electrical apprenticeship and wasn't confident I would be able to take the time off for 2 weeks of hunting. I've been hunting Coues since I was a young teenager. Elk hunting is still fairly new to me. Have been on 4 elk hunts helping family members and friends. I'm going to be running solo most of the time with some help from buddies here and there through out the hunt. I can't justify hiring a guide. any advice for this unit would be greatly appreciated. I plan on making a few scouting trips before the hunt. The projected precipitation and current drought situation has me a little worried about rut action but that could just be my inexperience. Any input on that would be helpful. Thanks for reading my post. I'm super pumped about this Tag.

Nice! My buddy drew that tag as well

Also was up there this past weekend staying in pine, was able to get to the northern part of the unit in the Christopher creek area. It's dry but most of the creeks still have water in them. There is an abundance of elk in the pine area. All look really healthy so I imagine the ones in 23N are doing fine

I think it is unlikely dude. I know it's an all in hunt for you but I'm sure with 11 days prior to the hunt you're going to find something worth wrapping your tag around

I mean in my mind it's not going to be the worse year to be holding a tag for 23N.

Haha oh yeah? Well I'm going to take my chances.

If I kill a bull of that caliber I'll be more than happy honestly. I'm really looking forward to the hunt.

Hey man I whole heartily agree with you. I've been throwing some outfitter ideas around but I'm also thinking I can do this. That bull you got is incredible. If you don't mind me asking what he scored and who did you hire?

Wow man that's awesome super happy for you! I will definitely share some photos when I get there. I will be hunting the whole hunt as well. I'm going to head up there the opener of over the counter archery for deer and do some scouting during that time as well. I'm going to assume you're a non resident? Are you hiring an outfitter? Feel free to PM so we can talk more
