Wow, are those typo's or is it really 30 grand for a trophy elk?

Been out in 36 for the past week, early on saw a spike herding 5-6 doe, spotted a 4X4 by himself few days later, yesterday found a nice rub, and 2 fresh scrapes.

Nice Buck Nitro, Congrats.

Mr. Smith, First congrats on your wifes Deer. As a bowhunter I find it odd that they were driving deer, they must have had alot of confidence that the deer they drove would stop long enough for a shot or they could hit one on the run, which both I doubt they could have done. Im sure there has been many of rifle hunters do the same for bow. I have had 2 dove hunters screw my hunting opportunities up. Instead of raising a complaint, we should maybe focus on things that really effect our hunting opportunities. I hunt SE mainly unit 35A, do you know how many illegals come through those canyons. When they get caught, BLM don't even have the courtesy to pick up their belongings. There are litterally hundreds of articles of clothes, backpacks, and food that are left behind after they get picked up. Imagine all the scent on that stuff that a deer won't come within 10 miles of. Sorry for venting, but It goes both ways. No matter weather your a bow or rifle hunter, we are doing our job at managing the deer population, and having fun at it. Happy Holidays

Great Job Oldtimer! Was that on the Fort or off? Im currently hunting 35A and being that I just got here Im still getting the lay of the land in the canyons and still trying to figure out these coues deer. Again nice Buck.

Thanks for the tip to the article. I will now carry my .45, allot of illegals in the area, and am unsure of the desperate measures they may take to be free.

I was out Sunday and was watching a one antlered spike herding serveral does. His head was down and moving from one to the other. It might have been that one doe had come into esterus already, so it might mean it has or will start soon.

Great Buck, tell your uncle good job.

They cut arrows there. I bought my bow and a doz carbons and they cut and fletched them all.
