With the early archery dates, gonna be a lot of guys holding points jumping in. Can’t decide my strategy yet. 

Yeah, those are prime dates this year. I’ll be hunting in Wyoming, so likely won’t be putting in for archery.

Idk what this scores, wasn’t big enough to score. But surely it’s over 300”. Not by much. Maybe 335 with the extras

What did that fat largemouth on the wall score?

Idk I didn’t weigh it. Was before I had a cell phone camera, I didn’t think anyone would believe me so I kept it.

I'd take a 300 all day long, have 12 points hoping this is the year for early archery!  Will fit perfectly over the fire place :)

 

12 points? I have killed 3 AZ bulls in the last 7 years here in AZ. What are you waiting for?

A tag 🤷🏻‍♂️

All kidding aside it seems a lot of folks apply for elk and once they hit that 6-7 point range the decision has to be made to either go for a “lower tier” archery tag, a limited opportunity tag or a late rifle tag.

Shooting 200” bulls is a waste of time 

 

That's the way I feel about turkey hunting.

I just want a 6x6 (young and tender one would be great). I'll have 11 points going into the draw. I'm thinking 1 or 27 is gonna be my best bet. After that I will only go for late rifle or cow hunts.

27 late or 5bs early are the tags I am looking at. I've hunted 5bs archery before so there is an advantage to that.

if 300” is your goal, I would swing at 8 or either of the 6’s for late rifle. With 8, you can find 30-40” on top of your 300” goal pretty easily. 

Thanks! Archery or late rifle? I've heard late on the 8 is a tough hunt.
