Iv'e allways heard and said it before on here ,on a drought year a bull will be 10-20% smaller. Oviuosly the ones with better genes may only5% smaller who knows? We will never know. I do know that they are smaller tho to various degrees. In 1996 I killed a 330 bull in unit one, on the early rifle hunt. when I took it to the Taxi in the white mtns ,He had a bunch of bulls from the reservation and only a few were better than mine. (That made me feel better). These guys all paid 12k plus at that time. (96 was one of the worst drought years). So I am blessed to draw this year when conditions have been almost perfect. I would take one more good rain for greedyness. lol. But personally I don't think monsoon matters that much. So I think I am in good shape. Now I need to get in good shape........BOB!

I can tell You up north here in North Dakota there is no shortage of ducks or habitat. Now AZ. ,maybee a different story. I don't now the flyways where they winter. Good luck Guys...............BOB!

Great bucks. Ya Mexico is fun . Can't wait to go back...........BOB!

Personally I don't think monsoons help much if at all. I think the condition the elk was in coming into the growing season counts most..If last year He didn't get good food and protein and food during the winter, that was bad and if it was a harsh winter I think thats what hurts most for growth.The shape they were in coming in to growing season. Thats where I think snow and rain like we just had help cuz its early and its good for food growth. Monsoon is kinda late. There mind is telling there body what to grow right now depending on the shape there body is in ..Just what Iv'e heard. This is Biologist bob out...........BOB!

Can't fix Stupid. I hope that doesn't happen to Me as Iv'e lost patience as I get older.............BOB!

Massamino, I grew up in Pa. till age 21, 1977 then came to Phx. In Pa. everybody just got drunk in camp and huntin was secondary.........LOL..................BOB!

Looks like rain and wind in Flag and Williams area for weekend. Didn't look at east side of state. Sucks for conditions for comfort. Birds will still be around if You like to get wet. Sucks for Turkey hunters. Moisture is good for my elk hunt this year, thats why I'M watchin the weather. Let it rain. Good luk Turkey hunters. ........BOB!
