Looks like a great bull. Congrats and way to get it done

Keep chasing that tail Willie. Maybe some day you'll catch it

leaving elk lay over night is becoming more and more prevalent, especially in units like 27. I think people do it more and more often intentionally so they don't have to pack out so much meat. makes me sick. i have literally nearly hospitalized myself more than a time or two hauling elk out of the nasty with more weight on my back than i care to mention

i don't think the point of the OP was to start a debate on whether or not to leave a wounded animal over night. It was about a couple guys (and gals) working their tail off through the night to get a bull out of a canyon when a lot of people would have just come back in the morning to pack it out and risk losing some meat to spoilage.

Weird. Go to azgfd.gov. Great place to start

congrats on a couple nice bulls. looks like you had an easy job loading up that bull.

Money and time spent in the field is money and time well spent, not wasted. Every hunt or trip to the woods is invaluable to learning to be a good and successful hunter. A lot of people (myself included) would have loved to get an elk tag this year, and wouldn't be "sad and depressed" if we didn't punch a tag. Pick your chin up, pull up your pants and take that slap that mother nature delivered on the chin with a grin.

That's why it's called hunting and not killing. Take what you learned and put it to use next time.

most likely 2.5-3.5 year old bucks. probably score around 70". just about an average coues i would guess

|)amn, that was a steal on the brass

What ballistic phone apps are you all using? Any of them that stand out above the rest? I have used the "Bullet Flight" app for years, but it seems to be getting outdated and behind the times.

I've had a P22 for quite a while. Jams once in a while. Nothin major though. I like it

I would be all over that deal. Just one packs are great, and do have a "frame" system. Hard plastic panel with aluminum rods. I have had over 200 lbs in one

We prefer the word "harvest" around here.

Way to get that dude outta the gene pool

He'a about 2 years to late to become proficient with a long range weapon before his hunt. Long range shooting is'nt as easy as picking up a rifle, dialing the turret and shooting

they stop sounding off when the season first starts because of the hundreds of hoochie mama calls sounding off

when temperatures suddenly drop it seems to ignite the rut for some reason. i doubt if it has anything to do with pushing cows into estrous or anything, as that is most likely based on a specific time frame. For some reason the bulls really seem to feel froggy at the first freeze

no sure why you can only hunt together if the rut has picked up? did i miss something?

Christmas to new years

27 can be tough, because there really aren't very many cows there, and a lot of the few that are in 27 migrate over to unit 1 in the rut, as do bulls. they like to rut in the flatter, easier to negotiate country. find areas where the country is a little easier, cows don't like living in the nasty canyons and burns like the bulls do, and the bulls will be near the cows.

1. Marco Polo Sheep 2. Free range aoudad (32"+) been stumped twice 3. Arizona bighorn sheep. Desert or Rocky

That's a big bear. It irritates me sooo bad when people only judge a bear on "ear size". 300lbs+.
