This year continues to be one for the books. My 12 year old son Max drew a muzzleloader bull tag in a unit many consider to be sub par for elk. I have assisted on 3 archery bull kills in the unit, so I knew that although trophy elk were tough to find they were there. The opener found us calling our way into a major dark timber bedding area that I had seen multiple large bulls on previous hunts. It was dead quiet. No bugles and after one calling sequence a satellite 5 point came sneaking in but never game Max an ethical shot. Yesterday, day 2, I decided to slip in to the edge of the bedding just after first light and wait. No bugles at all, so I decided to do a few soft cow calls. Less than a minute later this giant snuck in silent 52 yards below us and Max made a perfect shot. We had no idea how truly magnificent he was until we walked up on him 30 minutes later. Bull is an 8 by 7 with a 14” flyer point. Didn’t get to fully score him but a few quick measurements indicate 370-380”. 42” inside spread and total width with flyer 58”. Best hunting day of my life and one I will never forget!

Hey guys, got this guy last Sunday on day 10 of a tough hunt. The rut was sporadic at best with some days having almost no bugles during daylight hours. I've been getting caught up at work so haven't done a full write-up, this guy came in screaming with about 10 cows at 7:15 am when it had been quiet all morning. I had to wait at full draw for what seemed like ever for his cows to clear out from between us, but managed to make a heart shot. He only went about 30-40 yards before tipping over. I'm super exited. He's my biggest bull to date, and broke my drought. It's been a few years since I've put anything bigger than an turkey or javi on the ground.

Going to try and upgrade in a few weeks

380.00, that's what I paid. Must meet in NE mesa, Recker/202 or McDowell/Power Kent

Found a pair of Binoculars in Unit 27 on this Months Archery Bull hunt. PM me description and location and we will figure out how to get them back you.

Sold.

Here is my 2022 NM archery mule deer. I hunted hard for 8 days, passing many bucks before I was able to sneak in on this buck and his buddy. 46 yard shot through the heart.

They need to cut the tags in half in that unit.

What Coach said and try to have a visit with police there and press her for any info on the buyer. Hope it works out for you, that is beyond sucks, she must be a really clueless carbon unit. Let us know if you get lucky...

I'd contact the police as well. She can't sell things that belong to someone else just because they're on her property. That's theft and they should be able to track down the buyer, and hopefully charge her for it. Dang man - I feel for you and hope you find them.

sent you a pm amigo

Good bugling the last few days of the hunt in morning and evening(one day they bugled till almost noon) . My buddy got it done last few minutes of light on last day. Definitely tough before that. AZGFD needs to push that hunt back towards the end of September.

Im meeting him later today!

I’m packed , waiting for the kid to get out of school

YES!!! My children are all young adults now, but I'm fortunate enough to be invited to help on a 6A junior cow hunt this weekend. Packed and ready to head-out later today! Can't wait! Freaking love hunting with the kids!!! GOOD LUCK, KIDS!!!! S.

Thank you for the encouragement! My son, 11, will be starting his first ever deer hunt tomorrow. Any antlered in 20C. I might be more excited than he is... Anyway, good luck to all the youth hunters and their mentors. And be safe out there everyone!

Nice videos! Yeah you got into some cool action. Never tire hearing bugles

Despite all the garbage that gets dumped on college kids these days I’m proud to know my kid still knows what’s most important 😂 Little bit of Colorado Coyote action!

Disagree, my son just sold his a week ago for $2,150.00

Starting to smell like an armchair quarterback key board hypocrite to me. According to YOU some laws don't matter and some laws do? That's my read on it.

Here are the pictures of Jesse Burk's Antlers!!
