    Is this illegal?

    Yeah, I didn't want to call the guy out just yet. It would suck to get in trouble for something like this just because your ignorant.

    Kifaru packs

    Forgot to add, if you get one buy the gun bearer for it. That's probably the best $30 I've ever spent.

    Kifaru packs

    I've been running a G2 Pointman for a few years now. Great pack. I've yet to find it's breaking point, but it has found mine! Had 80lbs of elk in it a couple of weeks ago. The pack took it like a champ but it was not comfortable. It will do 60 lbs all day long comfortably though. I was entering into the weight range for needing a pack frame. I've actually been thinking of selling it and getting a Kifaru Duplex or Bikini frame setup. Still on the fence though. I really like this pack.

    Looking for beef or pork fat. Anyone know????

    frys gave me 20lbs for free. bashas wanted a buck a pound. you wont find pork fat at the grocery stores. have to go to midwestern meats or other butcher shops for that, and they will charge dor it.

    Youth elk

    Both boys filled opening day. Youngest at 11am (1st pic), oldest at 5:30pm (2nd pic). 1st one we had to pack out 3 miles to the nearest rd, 2nd was 400 yards from a rd. Spent Sunday evening and all day Saturday cutting steaks and grinding burger. I'm beat! Last pic is bacon wrapped tenderloin... yum.

    Bulls were screaming like crazy in Payson last night. Chase the bulls, shoot the cows! Good luck to all the kiddo's this weekend.

    5b north. Quiet as a church mouse

    looks like tag soup for me this year. got into a couple of herds this morning. very little bugling. last night they were screaming at each other for a while though. no regrets, had a few opportunities to get it done but couldn't put it all together. its hunting, not shopping after all! kaibabhunter, thanks for the tips. enjoyed listening to the bulls around your camp. they put on quite a show.

    5b north. Quiet as a church mouse

    Hunted from the 125 rd up to Marshall lake for the past 3 days. Not heard a single bugle or seen any elk. Last weekend it was crazy with bugles all night till 10am and getting into elk all day. Anyone else having better luck this weekend?

    I'm surprised the Pine Grove area wasn't good for you, not far from where I was at.

    6A help

    I spent the weekend in 5BN, off the 125 rd. Got 2 hrs of sleep Friday night because the bulls were screaming at each other all night. We had 4 bulls surrounding our camp. They yelled at each other from 8pm when we pulled into camp till midnight. Were quite for a couple of hours then started up at 2am and continued till around 10am. It was awesome.

    Colt M4 SOCOM LNIB TRADE

    Bump for a nice rifle. AR market is saturated more than I've ever seen it. I know it's not a Colt but you can pickup brand new AR's for under 400 these days ( http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/ar-15-05/rifle-kits/ptac-16-m4-5-56-nato-slick-side-1-9-classic-rifle-kit.html ).

    Canyon or Roosevelt?

    i've had quite a few people suggest that we fish bartlett or pleasent and there is no doubt about those lakes giant flathead populations. but what about salt river lakes? rosie has huge flatheads and lots of them. so why wouldnt apache and canyon and saguaro have big flatties also?

    Canyon or Roosevelt?

    Going flathead fishing this weekend. Haven't been in 15 years. We're rigged up right, heavy duty everything, but not sure where to go. We will be shore fishing. Canyon is a 30min drive and Rosie is 1.5 to 2 hours. Is it worth it to rosie? I know there big flatties there. canyon is the same river chain so im assuming there are flats there also. opinons and advice welcome

    Canyon or Roosevelt?

    ended up going to canyon. 1 bite all night, turned into a 5 lb channel cat.

    5B North Bulls

    I have an early archery cow tag in 5BN. Spent the weekend up there getting to know the unit as I've never hunted it before. Had a camera up there for the last 3 weeks so I was going to check on it also. Are there any cow elk in this unit (kidding)! I saw 48 bulls and 8 cow. Here are some cam pics. super green up there, and tons of rain. but the fishing sucked.

    5B North Bulls

    So a calf or fawn in distress sound might be a good coyote call up there right now? I'm bringing the rifle next time.
