I’m no videographer but here is my 23N archery hunt. There are a ton of bulls in the unit. If you want a 375+ you’ll need some good scouting but it’s easily achievable. My only regret is shooting the first bull I had in range on day 2. Wish I would have hunted longer, but I was happy getting my bull DIY with my Dad by my side. Saw some monsters in there. I ran into A3 on day 2 of my pack out. Tried to wave them down to chat and give some help and they instead almost ran me off the road in their Ranger. I later found out 4 of their group of 5 hunters tagged out. The female who was in the Ranger with them did not.

Put a dent in the fish pile this week. Amazing to say the least. Also had some leftover fish last night but no pics, fish tacos. Old school fish and chips and nigiri / sashimi

I am looking for a quality used crossbow. Cash or I have some guns for trade. Please,PM me with details. If you are a scammer don’t bother contacting me. Way too many idiots join this site and an hour later claim to have a friend, uncle, etc that has what you are looking for.

Just want to give Leupold some credit where credit is due. Let a buddy who is a new hunter borrow my .270 for his first deer hunt. Took a bad spill and dropped my gun. Scope and stock got the worst of it. Called Leupold to see what we could do. No questions asked they put the parts I needed to fix the dented eyepiece in the mail. Received them yesterday and the eyepiece is back to normal. Service like that is becoming more rare and they still make their scopes right here in the USA! Bravo Leupold! I will always consider them when looking at optics!

If a person goes guided do they not need to be in great shape to get to said big bulls? Jimmy Johns

Tired of the heat, noise, bad neighbors, pollution, etc. Every time I'm in the valley I feel sick. Fever, breathing issues, headache, pressure, exhaustion, and general irritability. This is a problem since I currently live in the valley. I had enough yesterday. Told the wife to get the house sold. I found a house in strawberry we really like. Work isn't an issue. I go to the airport Monday and usually come back early Friday. The hour and a half drive is nothing for me. We are usually headed out of town Fridays anyway so this will actually save us some time getting out of the valley. For those that live up there now that used to live in the valley, have you noticed a big change in cost of living, utilities, insurance, etc.? The house I'm looking at is more then I'd like to spend, but if I'm saving a on the back end I can justify things a little easier.

Last weekend I had two compound bows stolen off my back patio. One of them is a PSE stinger x with a bright red/orange ish string and a CBE single pin sight. The other is my wife's DIAMOND infinite edge. They were stolen in AJO, AZ. If they show up it would probably be in the buckeye, Tucson, gila bend areas. I doubt that it was anyone in the hunting community, but if anyone comes across them for sale I would appreciate a heads up. 928 713 0593. I'm sure its hopeless at this point, but thanks anyway.

Thanks for reviving this thread. I totally missed this with all the name calling the first time around. 😂 Hope you found a good deal up there…

After getting the leak fixed and remodeling the master bath, things are churning forward again. House has been on the market for three weeks. Two open houses and not much action. Dropped it 50K and it's shown 5 times since Wednesday and another open house tomorrow. Hopefully we get under contract by the end of the week. Been hanging out in Pine the last few weekends checking out houses. I'm ready to get the heck out of the valley

Discount put the wrong tires on my tahoe. Needed the kid to drive it so I was stuck with them. I take my wife's car to the dealership. Cheaper and they already know there not to screw with us. They've already painted her car twice.

I found thst most car dealers now do tires. Basically get same deal as discount . What like is even small towns accross the USA, have car dealers

We have a 4runner, Tundra and a Civic. Boy is going to college to play baseball and taking the Civic. Wife works from home now and no need for 2 vehicles. Figured clear up some debt. This is my 4th Tundra and this by far is the best daily driver.

Bummer man, hopefully you luck out and find the crooks and your bows. Have you checked with your homeowners insurance to see if they’ll cover it? You’d be surprised what they can cover. A buddy had his vehicle broken into next to his house but on his property and took his stereo, and other valuables. They gave him a payout for everything. My homeowners covers a lot, even theft at my work house out of town on my policy.

Picked up her ram today and she is happy.

I've never had a problem with Discount. They have always treated me good. Yeah I've had to drop vehicle off but now days that's pretty much the norm with all the people coming into the state. Also, They did an add match for my wheels and tires before.

Costco sucks for tires.Its always busy and Damm near impossible to get any rotation or service done .They wouldn't cover the warranty on the tires they sold.I had bought 4 and they didn't make the mileage .Not even 24000 miles and they only covered 2 and would not give me the warranty for the other 2.Then when I tried to get a nail removed they gave me a it will be 2 weeks before we can get you in .And if that wasn't bad enough they scratched the crap outa one rim .Discount may not be perfect but I was outa there in 30 minutes for the tire fix at no cost and no appt.

Discount tire has made a few mistakes recently. Never had a problem in the past.

Discount has no membership such as Costco. Not sure what you are asking. Do some internet homework on prices and they will meet those prices.

Don't hire a guide. If theres any elk hunt in the state that you don't need a guide, thats it. Enjoy success from your own hard work. I can't stand dragging a guide around with me on an archery bull hunt. From your profile pic it looks like you have a lot of experience hunting, you should be fine if you can put some time into it.

Chase the bugles and you will be ok.

I saw that one this morning. Nice place, I really like the ship lap you did. My wife has her heart set on the one we found in Strawberry.

The biggest cost of living problem has been housing. I know it has exploded in a lot of places but it seems like it is over the top up here the last few years. We are surrounded be public land so land is at a premium. Property taxes seem a little excessive to me but then I talk to all the peeps moving from the coasts and it doesn't seem that bad.

No insight on the cost of living in Payson but good on you for getting out of this hellhole. I hate it more every day. The older i get the more i realize humans aren’t supposed to live like this.
