    Unit 8 and 9 not managed for trophy elk

    Next time when G&F sends out a survey asking for Quality or Opportunity, lets make sure we all put down QUALITY. There's a ton of hunts in the regulations that provide plenty of opportunity for everybody!

    My unit 9 bull **New pictures and story added**

    Congrats Casey on an Awesome Bull!
  5. Wow Awesome Buck Nick! Congrats!
  6. The Archery Kaibab deer hunt is almost here and I'm looking forward to getting up there again! I've been scouting this year, and have seen quite a few deer and some decent bucks. I used to hunt the archery Kaibab hunt every year when it was an over the counter tag and we had great hunts...most years we saw plenty of deer and always had a buck located to hunt. Being that quite a few deer were seen while having unlimited tags in the field, has there been a noticeable difference in finding deer since 800 tags were issued? I'm hoping to hear that the hunt has improved and that more deer will likely be seen. Who else drew the archery tag this year? Has anybody hunted this unit since it went to a draw? Also has anybody noticed any difference in the quality and pressure of the hunt? If you have past pictures of bucks from the archery or rifle hunts, I'm sure that everybody would enjoy seeing them. Good luck to everybody who drew the tag this year, it should be a fun hunt!

    12A Archery Kaibab Deer

    Thanks guys, he was at 22 yards. He tore his velvet up pretty good on the ground, so I'm thinking about going with the fake velvet on a plaque.

    12A Archery Kaibab Deer

    Took this tall 3 point from a treestand on the second weekend of the hunt. The first few days I saw four smaller bucks and some doe. Overall had a great time on the Kaibab!

    12A Archery Kaibab Deer

    Thanks for all the great info, I'll definitely check out the areas mentioned for deer! The Kaibab deer heard should be healthy with 10,000 animals. In the past the Kaibab deer population fluxuated between 4,000 animals in 1906, to an estimated 100,000 in 1924.

    12A Archery Kaibab Deer

    Good info! I really enjoy stalking deer just after a good rain, it also seems to get the deer out feeding earlier in the evening. This year I would really like to harvest a buck by spot and stalk, but if it dries up sitting a tank might become an option. I've had a few trail cams up there for a couple months, hopefully something shows on them when I check next week. Glad to hear you found some bucks while scouting! Did you draw the tag this year, or just up scouting?

    18 points for Elk

    I would pick unit 23, it's a great unit! Good luck!
  14. I'm selling a new Queen Bed in a Box Mattress. This is a Pac Bed Original Gel 9" thick Memory Foam Mattress. I slept on it one night and it is not the bed for me. If you're comfortable with a bed that is a bit firmer than this bed is perfect.I bought it for $700, I will sell for $500 or best offer. First decent offer takes it. Pick up only, I will not be able to ship the bed because I can't get it back in the box. I live in North Phoenix, if interested please let me know. Thanks You can check this bed out on bed in a box online. The bed has really good ratings so it might be the bed for you!
  15. I'll let this bed go for $200. This is a steal, being it's only been slept on one time. You can pick it up at my house in North Phoenix, or I can deliver to the Phoenix area if needed. This bed is as close to Brand New as you can get, and is a lot better than buying it online for $700. This is a Queen Mattress. Please text, or call 928-699-4160 if interested.

    Why would someone have 18 Javi bonus pts?

    Either an app service, or someone donating money to G&F.

    G&F wolf release news

    These Wolf advocates will continue to ask for more Wolves and keep asking until Big Game animals become unhuntable or non-existant. This is the advocates goal and if we don't fight against the expanding Wolf population hunting will be of the past. It's hard understand how anyone who considers themselves a sportsman or hunter could want any Wolf recovery, let alone a large recovery. I think if, or when the Wolf reaches Central Arizona it's going to get pretty expensive to keep the Wolf population going...

    G&F wolf release news

    There is no reason to ruin Arizona hunting due to Wolves. Once Wolves begin to multiply throughout Arizona they will destroy hunting throughout the State, and the proof is what Wolves have already done to Idaho and Yellowstone Park. Once Wolf numbers hit a certain population they eventually kill too many big game animals and will have to be controlled. It's very expensive to control Wolf populations and is an ongoing endless effort on ranchers, hunters and trappers. Idaho often establishes multiple bag limits on Wolves just to keep some kind of control to the population explosion. If Arizona can not stop the re-introduction of Wolves, we'll be wasting a lot more money and reading plenty more stories like the one's below. Idaho Officials hike bag limits for 2012 Wolf hunt
  22. So 80 in the wild total? Or just 80 in the wild in AZ? I read somewhere there are 300 in captivity? So what is the total worldwide population and where are they? 1k? 20k? 200,000? Are there a bunch in mexico? I know with it's larger cousin the gray wolf there are like 200,000 worldwide so why re-introduce them in the States? It's not like they are endangered or anything like that. Is this the same case with the Mexican Gray? I think we all like our game animals to much to want these in our backyard. I would like to know the whole story though. So, looks like there are under 400 Mexican gray wolves left. Not 4000, not 40000... 400. in the whole world, 400. What if we rounded up all the wild ones left and put them back in captivity. Then let them slowly die off due to inbreeding and what not caused by keeping then penned up. That would keep our game animal populations safe wouldn't it? As hunters, we are all members of the original conservationists group. Without out efforts (and money) game animal populations probably would not be in the shape they are currently. That being said who here is ok with helping to contribute to the complete extinction of a species? Is that what we want? To wipe them off of the face of the planet forever? I don't know what the answer and I don't want my game animal populations decimated, but I sure as heck don't want to be associated with helping to kill off a species. There's a good reason why there's only 400 left on the planet......Nobody wants them!!

    Broad heads for elk, 2014

    Thanks for all the responses and experiences with the Ulmer Edge! Seems to be a great broadhead!

    Broad heads for elk, 2014

    I'll probably give the Ulmer Edge a try as well. Being a newer Mechanical/broadhead it's hard to find a ton of solid information to back them up. The things I like about this broadhead -Field point accuracy to 100 yds -Apply set screw to broadhead and use for practice -Can hit at an angle without deflection because blade swivels. -2 Blades swivel around bones (ribs) to help penetration -1 1/2" cutting diameter, seems perfect -2 blades lock on contact (turns into broadhead on contact). Blades won't unlock (close) after contact -Blades are sharp on backside, to continue cutting if arrow were to fall out -Solid broadhead tip for bone What I wish this broadhead had -3 or 4 blades -Unsure about blades swivel and not swiveling back out because of meat, fur, bone causing blade not to swivel back out. This could possibly turn this broahead into a one blade after contact with bone. Overall it seems like a great broadhead besides a couple concerns. Can anyone who has used the Ulmer Edge give additional information.
