Selling my 232xrt. Deck measures 4x7, toilet and shower never used, had a couple of inches added to the rain flap by Phoenix Tent and Awning. Heated mattresses that I never used, 5 gallon water heater, 20 gallon water tank, refrigerator that I have never had on anything but propane, dinette slide out, 2 propane tanks, battery, electric lift, outside shower, awning and leveling jacks. Tires are in decent shape, no known issues other than the carbon monoxide sensor is out. Show signs of normal wear and tear. I have a transferable warranty that is good until June 2018. I have done a lot of hunting with this . It is used but not abused.

Palmer had a defensive lineman on him from the start. He should sit on the bench when they play the Rams. They destroy him nearly everytime they meet. They will get it together before it is too late but I am loving it that the Mighty Cardinals are sitting at the bottom of the heap and the lowlife Rams are on the top.

Anyone else or has my computer gone haywire? I get a message Error 1001 DNS resolution error What happened?You've requested a page on a website (azgfdportal.az.gov) that is on the CloudFlare network. CloudFlare is currently unable to resolve your requested domain (azgfdportal.az.gov). There are two potential causes of this: Most likely: if the owner just signed up for CloudFlare it can take a few minutes for the website's information to be distributed to our global network. Less likely: something is wrong with this site's configuration. Usually this happens when accounts have been signed up with a partner organization (e.g., a hosting provider) and the provider's DNS fails.

I always take a picture of the cams with strings in place before I take it apart. Also have been using a Bow Master press for many years on Hoyt bows without issues. I just bought the split limb adapters for a Bow Medic press. I get just a bit more room to work with than with the Bow Master adapters. Like mentioned above back out the limbs as far as you safely can.

I just finished about 12 days of archery elk hunting. I didn't tag out but had a blast. I could have been done on small bulls several times but chose to pass. I had several observations in the 12 days I spent in the woods chasing bulls. Elk have another face on the back of their head. It didn't seem to matter what direction I came towards an elk he either saw, heard or winded me. There is an elk god that makes the wind always blow in their favor. It will change at the last minute and leave you wondering WTH just happened? I was always behind a bugling bull. They are always going away from you, never to you. I suck at calling. They ran like the devil was chasing them. When I quit calling they ran like the devil was chasing them. They will water at whatever tank I was not sitting on. Everyone but me killed a good bull. I suck at estimating distances. I suck at elk hunting. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat, sore feet, sore shoulders from carrying a heavy pack, thunderstorms, lightning, mosquitoes, getting 5 hours of sleep a night and never getting rested included. I thank my God for the opportunity to be in the woods with His creation and great friends Congrats to all of you that filled your tag. I can't wait to get out there and do it again.

Headed back to 5BS to see if I can't finish this hunt.
-
I just got in from hunting 9 days in 5BS. I have had 6 bulls 42 yards and under that had no clue I was there. They just weren't what I was looking for. I needed a break and the weather gave me an excuse to come home for a couple of days before going back out. Maybe I will be lowering my expectations when I go back and look for freezer material. Bugling was nearly nonexistent where I have been hunting.

I was setting up camp yesterday. Very quiet. I was a bit surprised at the number of people piling up on the 93 road. Looks like it could be a zoo in there opening weekend
-
I am headed up in the morning to set up camp. I was going to wait until Thursday but with this system moving in I am going to get it done while it is somewhat dry. It is an absolute quagmire into my camping spot. Also going to be just a little picky on how small of an elk I shoot. I think I will play it by ear as to how the rut goes. If it looks like a good one I may not lower my standards for a while. If it goes into the last week and things are slow it may become a meat hunt.
-
It is starting to look like I am going to be solo at least a portion of this coming archery hunt. I have hunted solo much of my life but this is going to be my first elk hunt that I didn't have help. Just curious how many of you are doing it alone this year? I am going to be in an area with zero phone service. That is probably my biggest concern. As clumsy as I am it is not out of the question for me to screw myself up somehow. Thinking of getting my hands on a satellite phone.

I have been through what you are facing twice in the last 6-8 years. At age 55 my wife left, due to various reasons a very successful family farming business shut it doors, my mom died a slow death from cancer, not long afterward my dad died. I stepped out of life to try to figure out what to do, what direction to take. I am at that crossroads again at age 62. I still have my health but know that my time is short. I have life changing decisions to make. This one thing has kept my sanity, my faith in a God that I believe cares. I have stumbled and fallen, questioned, been angry at Him and turned my back only to come back to Him. My faith is the only thing that keeps me going. I must believe because none of it makes any sense without it.

Scouting Help--Any Retired guys with some time available??
creed replied to azbullelkman's topic in Antelope Hunting
I am heading that way this morning to do a final elk scout. The biggest antelope I have ever seen were in the areas I will be in this weekend. If I see anything good I will let you know. -
Good bad or otherwise I have a tag and I am going to enjoy every minute of it. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have an elk tag. At my age I am looking at this as possibly the last archery bull elk tag I will ever have. I am going to make the most of it.

Is AZGFD giving out our personal information?
creed replied to AZhuntingfamily's topic in The Campfire
I have been told they sell it. Never read their privacy notice if they even have it but the wording that allows them to do it is probably buried in that. I don't really care. In this day and age everyone and their brother has access to your info. I get solicitations from companies all the time. I think they all have access to who I am and what I do. -
I have had the same thing with elk hanging up. I always thought that a visual would help bring them in that last 30-40 yards. I went ahead and bought this. If it doesn't work I guess I am just out the money. I didn't buy the clamp. I don't need anything else hanging off of my bow. http://www.ebay.com/itm/381308881498?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Thanks for all the offers to help. As much as anything I was curious as to how many solo hunters there would be. More than I expected. As it gets closer there are a couple of guys that hunt the same areas I like. Even if family comes through and I have company I may check in with them. I think nearly everyone could use another strong back when it comes to packing one out. I have that!

2013 in the middle of the 93 road. Sliding all over the place. It can get wet.

My wife knows where I'll be. She has been all over the unit. And we spent our "honeymoon" chasing elk there a few years back. She may finagle a way to get there yet.
-
5BS Kind of surprised the number of guys that may be hunting alone. I have received several pm's and appreciate all of the offers. Still a lot of uncertainty about this hunt. I am going to do one more scout close to the opener. Things can change a lot but regardless life is pretty good when you have a bull elk tag in hand.

I am about to find out. 36000 acres burned in my elk unit this year with my hunting grounds taking the brunt of it. I was up there about 3 weeks ago and it was starting to green up where the sun had penetrated the canopy. Elk sign was scarce to non existent there. I moved 3 miles to where it had not burned and saw a herd of 100-150 elk and sign everywhere. I am thinking they shifted out of the burn. I have talked to a couple of very good elk hunters and a former G&F biologist and they all said the same thing, if there is enough early rain to get a greenup going the burns will be as good as anyplace in the unit. The 2nd and 3rd year is when it can be really good. One of them said 90% of the elk they kill come out of burns.

Help identifying sight and potentially upgrading
creed replied to azsaluki's topic in Bows, arrows, broadheads
I own both a Spot Hogg 7DP and a Black Gold Ascent. You can't go wrong with either but if I were to buy one int would be the Black Gold. Awesome sight and great customer service. Lots of moving parts on the 7DP. Still an awesome sight. -
So I admit I am not the best elk hunter around. In fact I stink. I am trying to master mouth reeds and am not having any luck. Just wondering what you guys would recommend to a piss poor elk hunter and worse elk caller? I need something easy. Any suggestions?

I think you are right. This government is so corrupt. They should save the taxpayers a bunch of money and incoronate the Queen right now but that isn't going to happen. The media needs something to worship and adore. They need to gloat over how badly she beat Trump. The thought of looking at her for 8 years makes me want to puke.

Ok, I admit I am not too smart but what is quality checks?

Spenco runner insoles and alcohol injections fixed me. I went through 2 years of complete misery and was sure I would never be able to walk normally again without surgery. My podiatrist opted for alcohol injections into the nerve as a last resort before surgery. Best thing that happened to me! That was nearly 9 years ago and I have zero issues with foot pain. I still stretch regularly and never go without shoes, even around the house.
