    They charged the same last year when gas prices were half as much. I guess these other top outfitters doing it for $5500 are losing money. And yes people tend to lay out large amounts of money for necessary things in life like vehicles and houses. Not so much for late rifle elk hunts. Even less likely when you're hunting sub par units like you drew. If money is no issue then more power to you. For most people, getting a guide is a once or twice in a lifetime event so money is definitely a factor.

    Anybody can find a decent bull in September.  If I were to pay a guide it would be for a late hunt when it's not as easy.

    Ya, I probably took a tag from Some one's 80 year old Grandma. I will be there Hunting. I am a more serious and better Hunter than 95% of the clowns on here. Amazing how Imature many adults on here are.  You guys can blast me all you want. Doesn't bother me. I aint been on here in 4 months and won't be again. Nothing but bashing and no info .Like I said before most of the Great hunters don't even come on here or Quit. To all the Great people on here good luck..........................BOB!

    When's the last time you shot something unguided?

    Less tags = Less AZGF revenue

    Prolly not going to happen.  

     

    I guess they could offer more of the “special tags” that were just offered for 6 animals.  Lots of application fees (revenue) with little affect on animal population. Cut the number of regular tags in some units and make up the difference by offering “trophy” tag draws. 

    Conspiracy theory. G&f may have intentionally not  blasted everyone with emails to update CCs. So they can get more rejections to add to the kiddy for special hunts.  I have gotten 3 emails including an ICYM on wolves, but zero on updating cc's this weekend.

    What I've learned is that most folks on this site need antipsychotics, anger management classes, and to learn basic social skills.  I had 6 folks contact me within an hour of posting the ad.  I guess they thought the price was fair, given the plethora of S/S .204's out there.  I didn't have pics posted because I didn't have any available at the time.  After my "warm reception" on this site,  I decided the above mentioned folks don't have enough money to purchase anything from me.  If you think you can get it cheaper--go buy it.  Just remember, running an ad on the net and having the weapon in hand are two very different situations. 

    Did it sell?

    I might be jaded because I have a bear rug that I asked the taxidermist to do closed mouth and when I picked it up the mouth was full open and it looks ridiculous. Fake teeth. The tongue looks like something out of a cartoon, etc. 

    Im sure your taxidermist will do a better job. 
     

     

    Same thing happened to me.  Every morning it would startle the he'll out of me.

    Since we are speaking hypothetically.  Turn elk units totally primitive consecutive years and then allow standard methods consecutive years.

    For example, archery hunts traditional equipment only.  Muzzy hunts no inlines.  General hunts limit scopes to 6 power. 

    Then watch the quality go way up.

    Because of work issues I could only hunt today.  (Tucson engineers should never leave Pima county)   got a moderately time start getting to my parking spot a little after first light. A mile walk in and twenty minutes after setting I spot a herd. Make the perfect stalk get to 15 yards but couldn't tell which end to shot at.  I spooked the herd and took some random shots at the closest (10 or 12)   no blood 

    Midday saw a herd driving to a water hole. 4 more misses. Quick readjustment of my sight at the waterhole. 

    Evening worked the flats and a couple few mile walk. Decided to leave a little early than a quarter mile into the way back a large group breaks cover. I hope out walk the arroyo a bit and shoot the first one over 10 pounds.

    Ive killed 4 elk 3 with my bow and I have no interest in chasing those rags you’ve been hunting. It’s possible, but giant bulls are rarely killed on the late archery. Maybe if I was as good whtmtnman. Early season 4b, what other hunt is there 

    Houston is a ninja and can kill a 400 bull in 37b. Besides I thought you were about quantity not quality.  4b late is better. IMG_2050.thumb.JPG.01d960868b8d600e27246b220a616fc7.JPG

    I almost whacked a very large buck getting coffee this morning by the Starbucks in show low.
