That will be a badass hunt! Enjoy. People talk chit but they probably all put in for it 1st choice. Jealousy is an ugly thing sometimes. Lol BTO is top notch for sure!

Soooo your saying there’s a chance!

Great pic!

Wow that is a score for sure! You must be lucky! Good luck with finding a certain ammo with the Biden effect going on. Just keep looking you have lots of time. Pick up a few boxes of what you can get and make it work! I drew the archery right before yours. Fortunate for me they havent attacked arrows........yet.

As mentioned by someone, Eagar and Springerville have RV parks and that time of year should be easy to get into. This will be a fun but cold hunt. I can give you some places to start if you PM me and answer any questions about the area.

Got mine from Duane Adams years ago.

23N archery bull

You asked for opinions so hear goes. 9mm is weak at best, 357 would be a way better choice. Not saying you can’t kill one but the probability of wounding one and losing it is much greater. Not trying to talk you out of it. You do you! It’s legal! I have shot both a ton and even had a lion crouched down at 25 feet with a tag in my pocket and my 9mm aimed at him for quite a spell while he sized me up. I didn’t shoot as I didn’t want to maim him and he run off to die somewhere. If I had my 357 mag I would have drilled him. 9mm works on people as they give up. Coues don’t give up. I have seen some hit hard with rifles that just amazed me how tough they are. Good luck whatever you decide! Nice pig btw!

I thought it was always just yotes? Been wanting to try it for years. Just never had an open unit close.

Chest with fmj. If you head shoot they are so bloodshot it makes it a beeeeaaattccchhh to skin without cutting holes. Hole will be small enough you shouldn’t have to sew. 22 also works great btw.

I have never done this but any thoughts on the red lights?

Dang you guys are killin it! Are the fur prices enough to cover gas?

Fat chance! This has been ongoing for years and still nothing..... Az resident with 35 points lol

Congrats on a great buck!

Well done gentlemen! Congrats!

Awesome buck! Congrats!

Cool video! Thanks for sharing

Grew up on those mountains. Sad to see! Cool video though

Accuracy is key! Sounds like you practice a lot and that is awesome! A marginal hit is never a good time. Knowing your effective range and using a cut on contact broadhead which is new or resharpened before shooting is equally important. Expandable broadheads are generally not as sharp and use too much energy entering the animal. I used slick tricks on my bulls and shot through my 373 6x7. I shot a spike bull with the same and hit ribs and the arrow breached the other side but did not exit completely. 430 grn arrow at 278 FPS. 53 yds and 38 yds. Now I am sure someone has shot a book bull at 183 yds with an expandable and things went perfect but for every one of those there are thousands of bad experiences on elk and smaller critters. I am sure there are a lot more experienced peeps on elk than I am but this is Just my .02. Good luck my brother! If you can, go to 3D shoots and/or join a local club. The shoots are phenomenal practice and guys and gals at a club will help you big Time!

That is awesome! Congrats on a great hunt! I hope to experience it some day!

Good job! Cool video, congrats !
