Hard to beat the Kaibab in October. Congrats, those are special moments.

She’s a tank. We packed her out in one trip. Two hind quarters in my pack. Two fronts in Hunter’s. We carried the trim meat bags in our hands. Damnear killed me.

Figured I could post up since we have a dedicated do-it-all rifle that has put 7 or 8 elk in the dirt. Axisworks action Proof Carbon Barrel Manners Stock Swaro X5i 3.5-18 25 SST 133 gn Berger hybrid hunters We’ve killed elk from 60 yds to 550 yds.

Kaibab youth hunts are special. Congrats!

Got it done before the storm came in today. Found a rut fest mid morning and the action was hot. Daughter got it done with 1 shot from 25 SST at 360 yds. Hunter was there helping, it’s hard to believe he’s nearly grown. Seems like yesterday he was following me around these same hills begging for snacks. This one got me a feeling a little sentimental.

Looking forward to hunting from a row boat in 4B with my daughter!

This is great. I can relate. Congratulations all around!

Nice buck!

When is prime time on a tank?

Don’t they issue like 20 tags for that hunt now?

I mean, can you fault someone who waited even longer for a rifle tag to be out there trying to find bulls for their hunt?

That’s what elk look like

But what tag is it? That might influence how much risk I would be willing to take.

If your daughter has a qualifying illness or condition or if she lost a parent who was a first responder you could transfer it to her through the charity.

Congrats Vincent. I think I bumped into you hunting with your buddy after you killed your bull.

Two weeks on the Bab in October. What a dream.

You should be able to satellite text from lots of places up there

Yeah, probably. We were seeing new bulls everyday. The big bulls’ harems were growing as well. Stupid cows kept changing the program and saving that suckers life. Oh well. Out of time. Anyone know what pairs well with tag soup?

Pics or it didn’t happen. Congrats, way to stick with it.

I’ve had some experience on hunts where bulls were rutting harder in mid October than late September.

I don’t know if it is a terrible rut or if it is just a late rut. Time will tell. It could still get really good for the rifle / muzzy / youth hunts. I am hoping my daughters cow hunt is epic!

What is this rut you speak of?

Worst hunt ever. 4B is cooked

After 9 days chasing elk in tons of different terrain and weather, gotta say, there are my favorite boots ever. Good support, light, water proof, and super comfortable. Just have to be careful with vibrancy soles on wet rocks.
