Introduce myself

Recommended Posts

I thought I should introduce myself. I live in Southern Ut. Work for Union Pacific Railroad. I love to hunt Mule deer, and elk. I like to lift and exercise to make me a better hunter. I have 4 kids and a wonderful wife. I have followed Coues whitetail for awhile but just recently signed up. I do belong to some other hunting forums. I have hunted AZ, UT, CO, NM, and NV. I have a WY elk tag this year. So I would love to share information if someone is in need. My Dad (retired Gov. trapper) and my son 14 drew 21 AZ elk tags this year. I figured that since 21 is more of a Coues deer unit, maybe someone on here could help us out. My dads tag is a muzz tag, and maybe his last good tag. He is 68 years old.

Thanks for all of your time. I look forward to getting to know some of you and contributing to this forum.

welcome to CWT

 

In my opinion 21 may be the hardest of units to hunt for elk in Arizona - like you stated coues country.

 

some of the best areas to find elk will be in the cedar bench wilderness and the pine wilderness

 

neither are considered easy access

 

Good luck

 

getting up on squaw peak look out in the north part of the unit will allow you a chance to glass a lot of country

Arizona bull was an archery tag on unit 10 in 2012. 1st morning caught him away from his cows. He turned away from me and started raking a tree. I pretty well ran 200 yards to last tree between us. Waited a couple minutes for him to turn. He turned quartering away from me. I made the 51 yard shot, he ran about 200 yards. Really was quite lucky, best part was my dad was able to watch the whole thing. Waited 12 years for the tag. Hunt was over in an hour.

Welcome! You have some awesome trophies!

 

Probably obvious from all the feedback but you will be at the north end. Check our Google Earth, the AZ G&F site, and you may be able to get in touch with someone from G&F that can give some help as well. They can surely let you know if there are any issues with access and fences which seem to more and more of an issue these days.

 

Hope your dad shoots a good one!

Heck of a bull! What about that shot? It looks really far back. Just wondering did you have to shoot him again? Don't guess it matters, great bull!! Congrats
