    Cole, great video, that is what sold me. Then when I shot my 250 pound bear last year with my shwacker, it penetrated thru both sides of the rib cage, and the broad head is still in good condition. The bear left a huge blood trail, and any of you bear hunters know, that is unusual. The bear went 200 yds and died in a mine shaft.

     

    I don't think there is anything "usual" about that story. haha. Sounds like a heck of a hunt....wish I could claim I had killed a bear with a bow! I got a pack of virgin Swhackers. I am hopeing to have blood on them this fall. Having seen the damage they do I will only shoot swhackers.

    Hey Everybody,

     

    I got a heavy duty bumper or brush guard. No dents or scratches. Measurements are as follows:

    inside width 5' 5" overall length is 5' 8"

    Made with 3" steel tubing

     

    Asking $100 will throw in a piece of coldrow steel (3'x4"x1/2") for welding for an extra $25. I'm located in the east valley. Not interested in trades. Pm if interested.

    Just as what has been said. It can be a tough hunt if you don't already have a game plan and know where to be (unless luck is on your side haha) I have found that the pack out is never easy.... when I am with a hunting partner and have pushed them hard I usually pack out alone anyway. I always make it a point to hunt with someone but see where you are coming from and you should be fine. Just don't put yourself in dumb situations..."Attention to Detail" is a phrase you might be familiar with ;)

     

    Let us know how it goes for you!

    I put in all over the west each year just wishing to get drawn anywhere i can. In new mexico for instance i put close to 800 dollars on the line each year to get drawn for elk. I consider paying anything under 500 a real bargain to go elk hunting in any state including mine, and i hope that the tag price increases will decrease the number of applicants. I don't have a lot of money either so this isn't some kind of rich guy poor guy thing, so i hope this doesn't get twisted around on me by someone else. It's to hard to get drawn as it is , so higher prices tend to weed out some people from putting in including their grandmother's second cousin who married uncle bart so they can go for a couple of days. I hope there is a tag price increase every other year or so, just to curb the numbers off applicants if anything.

     

    Yes it will WEED people out....namely kids who can't afford or who's parents can't afford the tags.

    This is ridiculous! I am sorry for name calling but these idiots have just pissed me off. I get that you have to raise prices (of any product) over time to continue to provide a service but this is just screwing all of us. Premium elk hunt??? Are you kidding me?

     

    In this economy I have a hard enough time trying to pay for healthcare and gas now they want to raise tag prices. They should at least off set this cost by giving some free youth tags. I'm so sick of G&F's poor oversight and mismanagement

    Unit 1 & 27 gives you the best chance of shooting one as far as populations concerned (kiabab as well). I always seen a bunch in unit 1 its just a bit far to drive for me when I can buy a turkey at Fry's for a fraction of the price haha. 23 is just as good as any, water + food = turkey
