Getting close to Whetstones...

People are idiots! That's what started the Sunflower fire back in 2012 that burned most of Mt Peely.

Yeah, I'll start calling around in the morning. Just thought I'd see if anyone here has seen them locally. Material doesn't matter. I do prefer a softer sole tho.

Thanks for sharing!! Awesome video!

Awesome. Congrats!

I believe it was closed in 2005 during the Edge fire. I could be wrong tho.... Here's an account from one of the SAR guys on scene of the drownings back in 1998. http://hardcoreoutdoor.com/the-mission-i-cant-forget-flash-flood-kills-boy-scouts-and-troop-leader-march-28-1998/

That's a dead bull on opening morning!

I can't put my finger on it, but there's something going on here with BC777 and unit 4B! I understand his argument. 4B doesn't consistently produce trophy bulls. I get it. He's stated this argument ad nauseam on several 4B threads, both here and other forums. I guess I just can't figure out why he's so concerned with people that actually put in for that hunt as if it's his tag. Why worry about it? It is fascinating.

Yup! My archery bull tag was waiting for me in the mailbox. C'mon September, hurry up!!!!!!!!

Just because they're not posted online, doesn't mean they aren't there.

I'll be right across the canyon from you in 4A. My friends told me if I kill one in Chevelon Canyon, don't worry about the pack out. Just bring a fork and knife and enjoy my elk down there! lmao! Anyways, good luck!

Saguaro Lake ranch?

Youth turkey starts on the 21st, so worse case scenario another two weeks. If it's like any other year, it'll be open here pretty quick.

Holy cow! I thought I had a long commute. That's some serious miles!

Check camofire. On occasion you will see 2016 NIB from PSE and Bear at 50% off. These are great bows. Any modern compound today will give you years of enjoyment irregardless of brand. I'm still shooting my 2009 Bear Truth 2.

Like others, XM radio for the most part. Also listen to iHeart radio. XM: Hair Nation Ozzy's Boneyard Bluesville 80's iHeart Radio: Slippery When Wet

Great hunt. Some big boys in there. It's been years, but the former world record came out of there. But the genetics still exsist.

I am just guessing here. They may make them available to organizations like Hunts For Heroes. If an outfit like that does not have a taker they probably destroy the tag. I do not expect they have a process to re-issue them to the general public. If they issue a set number of tags based on how many animals they want harvested how does it make any sense that they would just destroy the tags? If the hunter had the tag and did not hunt or the hunter turned through point guard and the tag was not re-issued the end result is the same, no hunter in the field. Tags being drawn and not used is something that has always happened before point guard. They issue a given number of tags, they estimate a % will be filled. They do not expect every tag issued will always be taken into the field by the hunter. And don't forget the PETA loving, anti-hunting hippies. They apply for tags, then shred them if drawn. Their way of saving Bambi.

Most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Lol Everything in this state that has to do with water is cumulative. Aquifers, resevoirs, stock tanks. We'll just agree to disagree.

You have to look at the current water year to date. October 1 to present.

Arizona Snowbowl has recorded 304 inches of snow so far this season. That moisture also made it to the Rim country as well. The elk woods have recorded alot of rain and snow this year. Great year for a tag!

He'll come around. Take him to the elk woods this summer and scout together. Kids have a short attention span. As October gets closer, I'm sure the excitement will follow.

This will be my third archery elk tag. Not too many changes. Bear Truth 2 @ 60lbs, 28 inch draw length Easton FMJ 400 with Blazer vanes, total weight 448 grains 125 grain Magnus Stinger broadheads FOC right around 13% I don't concern myself with FPS. My arrows hit hard!
