My wife and I drew Kaibab early rifle and my son and I got 37B Nov. javelina. We'll try to get a leftover Kaibab turkey tag if there's some left.

Those are cool looking. Need to find the sheds of the bruiser we saw today.

Seeing those pictures bring back a lot of memories. My friend and I did a rim to rim to rim hike about 16 years ago. Did almost 43 miles in 19 hours. One year a group from work hiked down to Phantom Ranch. There were turkeys down there back then, too. I remember seeing a huge mule deer buck hanging around the cabins. Hope to do another hike down there soon. Thanks for the story and pics.

I have a ripcord on my XT and have had no problems with it. The guy who set up my bow said it was one of the easiest rests to setup and tune.

I hunted my normal Tonto Basin spot on Fri. Got 8 birds in 4 hours. I had to work my a$$ off for those. I found the area to have much fewer birds than the last few years. No 1/2 and 3/4 birds this year. Looks like they only had 1 hatch. Also there was no pear fruit, which they normally eat til the end of the month.

Congrats! I bet you used the greatest caliber in the world. lol

DesertBull, I was up there the 1st weekend. Hunted the junipers. Found elk in groups of 2 to 8. Didn't see any big herds. Good luck on your son's hunt.

That's a nice bull especially for a first bow kill. Congrats! What unit? Oh, I think someone mentioned unit 1. Right on.

I've been there about 7 times now. My wife thinks I live there. Dropped about a grand so far, but I 'needed' all that stuff. No doubt they are pricey but they have good stuff. Any of you elkhunters hunting the cedars should look at the Advantage max 1 camo and the seclusion 3D open country. Cabelas has it and I thought it blended in very well. DUG

Here is another picture of Jason's elk. Maybe this will give a better view for those of you scoring at home.

I believe the hunters name is Jason. He is my wifes aunts son in law. I was just sent some pictures of his elk. It is a nice one for sure. Looks like he had a lot of people on his hunt taking pictures. Do you know if his dad tagged out yet? Congrats to Jason for his first big bull elk!

Well, let's hear the story. How far , what unit, bull or cow? Congrats on getting your first! I got my first archery cow in 7w on Sunday morning. 28 yards.

Nice! Just goes to show anything can happen when hunting. Way to make the most of it!

Congrats! That had to have been awesome having all those huge bulls around.

Josh, I couldn't find my 2 main ones. I found one of those Thursday, but he was so spooky. We found a stocky horned 12 incher Friday afternoon and shot him at 40 yards. He was in the pines with 3 does. Congrats again on your first!

Josh, way to go! I met you at the antelope seminar.You were in unit 7. Give us the story. How far a shot, how many bucks did you see? etc.

We always see alot near pine trees in farmers yards. We've shot afew the last couple years, but haven't seen big numbers in one area.

For a riflescope Leupold all the way.

Usually you need to check in at the main shooting range. Pay 5 bucks and sign in. Keep your receipt with you.

My son and I go to Ben Avery on Fridays. Usually not crowded then. We might be there this Friday mid morning.

Anybody have these? What do you think of these? Priced about $500 to $600 depending where you look. Thanks. DUG

Just checked that out. Cool site. Thanks for info Neo. We're scouting elk and antelope tomorrow, nice to know what the weather might do. DUG

Looks like he's licking his partners back. Hope that elk isn't in my unit during bow season. I think I'll wear cow elk urine and not bull urine and watch my back.

My next door neighbors 7west bull tag was delivered to the neighbor across the street. Good thing they're not anti's. It's nice to have good neighbors. Don't know if there was beer involved.

Those look nice. Happy shooting
