I also have 15 points for UT but don't see any hope with the horrible draw odds, hence the reason I decided to go to AK

Thanks, I was super impressed by the amount of hair on this billy. Very cool to say the least, will be nice to put him on the wall in a few weeks

just saw this, good luck, positive thoughts and prayers your way..

I bet this bull has very little growth left and it was June 2nd. Just because they have a month left to grow doesn't mean they will. Some start and finish earlier than others. earliest I've seen a 6x6 in a while

I figured I would keep the thread alive to see how it pans out. This bull started slow but probably will turn into something good. This was taken May 20th. quite a few bulls had grown much bigger. This was June 4th, This last few weeks should show what he has become.

How many do you have?

Elk love the camera, I have more close up pics of elk tongues, mouths, etc... than anything else.

Is it a 2015? Looks like the 2015 finish on riser?

That bull would not be on my hit list on any hunt, That being said if he comes by on a late archery hunt he probably would get an arrow. He is not a very big bull score wise. Very cool bull though. I seriously doubt he will be growing a lot more, each tine is showing signs of pointing out, very little growth is left. His beams will have some but I would bet that is about all.

This guy doesn't need 4x4. I saw him a few times the last few years.

Great deal very reputable surgeon

When I was going to school I had no other choice, plenty of trips without 4x4. You just have to change your strategy. I spent 2 days in this spot, hunting during the peak times and getting myself unstuck the rest of the time. I drove the same car to the trailhead where I packed in and killed this buck during school.

Got my bear back from Clay at Mogollon Taxidermy, as always a fantastic job. Not a giant boar but measured just over 18" skull and right at 6' nose to tail. Trying to decide between floor and wall

Very cool buck and great mount. Wellers does nice work.

Woke me up, thought one of my kids had fallen down the stairs...

Giant bear, It sure is fun sitting over bait and watching 20+ bears in a few days. I hunted it once 4 years ago and never pulled my bow back, but only because I was looking for a slob like yours. Great job.

If taken care of bear is one of my favorite game animals...all the fat needs to come off since it is bitter.

These are the last few years. Its only been on Memorial Day 1 time. Almost always the 2nd or 3rd weekend in May. The Ellsworths do a great job in hosting this event, great time for sure. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/57430-shed-antlerfest-2015-may-22-24/?hl=antlerfest http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/48114-shed-antlerfest-2014/?hl=antlerfest http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/40013-antlerfest-2013/?hl=antlerfest http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/31997-2nd-annual-az-antlerfest-its-time/?hl=antlerfest

It would be a great hunt for sure but quite expensive vs other bear options. Ive only been to AK 2 times but both times the trqvel far exceeded my estimations.

I would always practice and shoot out as far as you can. It really does make 40-50 yard shots seem like a walk in the park...

I can't get link to work on my phone.

I've never drawn the rifle but have helped a few times, I've been there archery hunting for probably 10+ years. I was not impressed with the rifle hunt, too much pressure with very few quality bucks..you will see bucks for sure and hopefully a few good ones. Good luck!

General archery or general rifle? Son and I got archery

Very cool Scott...saw your pic on Stone glacier Facebook...awesome hunt!
