I love seeing them! They’ve been my favorite plane since I was a kid! I won’t lie I saw the title and thought maybe you were selling one!

I was out hunting unit 21. I've been seeing multiple bucks on a daily basis since Saturday. Today I sitting mid level on a hill glassing. All of a sudden two A10 Thubderbolts go flying by NAP of the Earth style, I'd say about 300 to 500 ft AGL. Was a sight to see. By the time I got my camera out they were gone along with the roar of freedom!

Tessa had a tag for the Navajo reservation we had gone up on January 2nd to hunt it was brutally cold single digit temps and we did not know it but we both were in the early stages of covid. The first day found us looking at roughly 40-50 different bulls. The wind was blowing in the wrong direction for us to do much without spooking all the elk. The second morning we found a herd of bulls with several of them looking to be 390 plus. We had a target bull that was some where in the 380 range we probably could of had a good chance of killing him but elected to go after the bigger bulls. Well as luck or bad luck would have it this herd crossed into the park once in here you can not hunt them and amazingly they seem to know it. We waited all day for them to come back out but they did not. With us both feeling sick we decided to return home. On the reservation you have to have a guide the guide we was using had another hunter coming in anyway . We returned for the following Thursday morning things had changed dramatically, we saw about 10 bulls in the same areas we had seen as many as 50. After finding this bull about two miles away up a canyon with 3 other bulls . We put a plan together after a 1.5 hour hike we were in position for Tessa to be able to harvest this elk. He was just shy of 360 his teeth were wore down to the gums he had to be very old doubtful he would survive another winter. I do not know how many more hunts i have with her because she has a boy friend now i will cherish them all. She has an oryx hunt on the White Sands Missile Range next month. I hope she gets one i here the meat is excellent.

Trphyhntr vs Nobull350

I was on bartlett today when they did that. So bada$$. Was crazy. Kids loved it

His name is White Goodman. Serious.

I wonder if this would trigger trphyhuntr to hunt pigs with 🤣

Hey Ernesto- the hunt was organized with Sonora Outdoors - some friends went last year and this year and I got in on the action this year and was glad I did! We had a great time and it was awesome. 5 of 7 tags filled- we had access to 3 ranches close to Nacoazri - one was desert, the next was desert and scrub- the last was oak - there was some rutting action but it wasn't heavy- some bucks were chasing does like crazy and others could care less, it should fire up this week or next.

Nobody likes hunting the rut

How is not checking for ticks "sketchy”? Who gives a dam? Does a fence keep tick species from crossing?

Griffin and I hit the road with high hopes and much excitement. We connected with 2 locals who volunteered to help us out. You never know what to expect. Does this mean here’s a dusty 2 track I once saw a deer at or rolling out the red carpet. We were humbled by the level of commitment to help us. Each day was filled with hours of glassing and holding out for a good one. We passed many bucks and held the bar high. Finally on day 4 we spotted a heavily palpated 4x4 about a mile away and 800-1000 feet higher. We watched him graze and knew he’d be the buck of dreams if we would be able to hang our tag on him. We formulated a game plan and off we went. 4.5 hours later we sat above the thicket. We decided to wait him out. Unfortunately the gray ghost gave us the slip and we never saw him again. It was an epic 2 hour hike out in the dark with our egos bruised but our hearts full of the experience. The next day was to be our last in AZ so we decided to take the first legal buck we saw. Finally on the opposite hillside we spotted a buck and moved into shooting range just as the buck disappeared into bottom. He was about 200 away. As we sat there picking apart the hillside just looking our local friend hissed “he’s right there!” 100 yards away the buck emerged from the thicket and stood quartering to knowing something was up. Quickly griffin steadied on the sticks and the crack of the rifle broke the silence. No buck in sight. We decided to give it 30 minutes and give it a look. No blood at all but we spread out and began grid searching. Just a few short minutes later we located the buck and the celebration was on! I want to say I’m so humbled to the 2 gentlemen who took time out of their schedules and spent 5 days helping us chase down the gray ghost we are forever in your debt. We came as strangers but now I consider you good friends! The hunting community is filled with good people who are the salt of the earth with kindness in their hearts! Cant wait to return to AZ next year!!

You suck. Hang it up and focus on fishing Or golf man up bro What do you want? the internet to make you feel good…. Fight through adversity like anything else in life and make adjustments to achieve your desired outcome Sometimes it’s just a matter of bad luck but crying to a bunch of internet cowboys (I include myself in that statement) is meek and shows a lack of character Grow up LOL

My friend keeps telling me I should switch to a back tension release I think they’re called, for my buck fever. when I was younger, I couldn’t miss. Now that I know I can miss, I only miss. Mule deer just do that to me though, like when I touch rim on a hot chick..

I mean, if you can’t hit it at 42, maybe 32 would be more better?

Haven't posted in a while. thought id reply since this is the longest running thread Ive replied to and I'm sure many have made fitness new years resolutions. I happy to say my fitness is excellent now. Been doing crossfit for 5 years now pretty consistently and its changed my life. I'm 48 and can run under 8 minute miles for fairly easy, deadlifting 385, back squatting 305, etc, etc. Ive even recruited some new hunters and hunting friends from my gym.I even have a smoking hot girlfriend I met there as a bonus. lol Don;t want to get into a crossfit discussion other than just to say it works for me. Whatever it is, find something that works for you and stick with it. The most important thing is I now am a much more effective hunter and I enjoy everything much more now that Ive gotten my fitness level up. This last year I was lucky enough to draw an Antelope and and elk tag. I was able to fill both tags and especially on the elk hunt my fitness was a big part of that. Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and enjoyable new year. Stick with your fitness goals, its worth it for you and your family.

So my old man at 77 had never killed an elk. He has some serious mobility issues and drew the Champ tag in 4b. Knowing his limitations, he went in having decided on the first bull he saw. He spotted this guy about five minutes after legal shooting light and the rest is history. Great end to a great hunt and a fun weekend. We are beyond thrilled. My 70 year old mom tagged her first elk this year also. It was pretty magical getting to be there for them both this year. Sorry about the sideways pics
