I haven't talked to steve chappel in a while. What a good dude, guide, and friend. Steve is a class act from head to toe. I hope steve gets lots of hunters this year, he certainly deserves it!!!

Good to see people still getting drawn!!!!

There is still hope, i just heard of a 23 north early rifle tag being hit today and he was checking everyday so far. Non resident though. It's ironic that right after bone777 missed a call from a blocked number the guy i know of got a hit on his card. I just wonder!!!!

There will still be a slow trickle of hits on cards for another 2 to 4 days this week, maybe till friday , and then results middle of next week. I sure hope i get to warm up the muzzleloader this year on an early september morning, i've never killed an elk with anything other than a bow.

Credit card just got attacked by the g and f for 3 charges. Either early muzzeloader or early archery bull for me and my buds on the same ticket. My 11 th rut tag is in its way!!! Good luck to the rest!!

Congrats to everyone so far, still waiting.

Blaze, it was funny is what i meant. Someone said they picked up crap in the forest , and you said don't follow me after the 3 am taco bell. I'm still laughing.

blaze, that one made me laugh for minutes......... Thanks

Obama was the best we have ever seen at selling scams to desperate people and convincing people of total bs. Every time his mouth opens our country becomes more divided. Even a lot of liberals have to be embarrassed of their vote for him.

10 archery bull tags in arizona since started applying in 1988. 3 archery bull tags in new mexico. About 75 percent kill, 4 toads and a handful of 290- 340 bulls.

I hope everyone gets what they put in for, especially the kids and any of our veterans. Good luck on monday, that's the day.

I've had too many photo cam tickets to count, and i've never paid one yet. We used to go by the one in pv in the tatum bend on crotch rockets doing wheelies every day sometimes over 85 miles an hour. Just don't answer your door for a little while after the flash.

Excellent job, 2 nice bucks.

I had 2 more cameras and ground blinds stolen this summer. They left enough gear still there to make it not the forest service. I'm averaging 2 stands a year being messed with or totally vanishing. If everyone thinks these are just a few guys, your drinking cool ade with something special in it. It's a whole bunch of us hunters that are super d bags out there, and i mean a whole bunch, like 20 percent of the whole crew out there hunting has to be stealing all this stuff. You just can't have a few guys cover this much area in the state. I know if your one of the super d bags and you read this it doesn't bother you to hear honest people getting ripped off, but all i can hope is that you step on a rattlesnake in front of my stand and i get pictures of the aftermath. It's unbelievable how many dishonest guys are out there.

Like a bunch of hungry wolverines in a cage together. Hope my card gets plundered with charges from the g and f.

Cmbulldog, make sure the person who is packing you in there if you draw is available at the drop of a hat to turn around and pick you back up again if you kill an elk. If he's not staying in there with you bring a satellite phone cause your elk will spoil in there quick and getting it out on foot is almost impossible. A lot of guys go in there with a good game plan of getting one , but once it's down they get overwhelmed cause their horse ride in isn't due back for days. Good luck on your draw.

Cmbulldog, i am putting in for 17 , 13, and 23 all archery. I was just kidding about new mexico in the previous post. I've been guiding in new mexico for the elk hunts for 12 years now whether it's friends or clients, it just depends on the year. Your average herd bull in new mexico is around 300 inches or less, but there are some whoppers still . New mexico's draw odds are absolutely horrible , nearly as bad as arizon'a are for a non residents. It's just my opinion but the 16 units are starting to get over rated. My brother and i have killed 3 bulls over there in various units, 2 in the mid 380's and 1 in the low 370's on the archery hunts. I'm sure you know this already but 16b is a wilderness hunt and will require horses. You can hike in around the perimeter but so will most of the rest of the tags, so be careful this isn't your only game plan. Good luck on the brutal draw odds over there now!!

I wouldn't be concerned about new mexico, there's nothing there over 300 inches, and besides i'm going to draw new mexico anyways and save everyone from having to put in there(n.m.). Since when are there so many guys putting in for new mexico on this site. How did the word get out about all those 300 inchers? Close to 800 dollars for a 300 incher, something must be going on. What's everyone putting in for over there?

I'm good with 10 inches less than that. It's going to be tough. Nice bull evanator, looks just as big in person.

Way to go, nice job!

Some real nice goats there. Fantastic job!!!

I have 14 points in Utah and 13 in Colorado for deer and elk. Can't wait to finally draw.

Just watched it for the 8th time. Absolutely amazing!!! There are 2 bucks worthy of the gov. tag, especially one of them.

That's a really good video. That 1 buck is such a stud, and lots of other big bucks also. That's amazing that you got all that footage in one january. Incredible video!!!!

Cause it's a prelude for what's to come on the future deadlines, we're just starting early this year with the 1st deadline, wait and see!!
