Got hit last night for archery bull in 5BS. Now my hunting buddy developed a heart problem and can't go to any altitude so he will burn his last tag ever. We are both 73. Wife died last year so I will spend as long as it takes while I can still pull the bow. Not likely to draw another elk tag before I take the dirt nap. I have hunted the unit for the last 35 years and will enjoy the ride.

I'm more than Happy to take a couple days and help you out if you like.

Back on topic.....I just saw a hit for $90. Archery Antelope 34 A/B for me!!! 🙂

Well I had put in for a early season rifle and a early season muzzy hunt, figuring my dad would draw with his 10 points in a mid tier archery unit and I would help him rather then risk us both drawing archery tags. I figured I wouldn't draw anyways for the hunts I applied for only having 10 points myself. He was applying for a unit that had stayed at 10 points to get in on the max pass for the past 5 years so we figured it was a a lock to draw. Well as luck would have it, his unit must have jumped a point with point creep and he didn't draw but i got hit yesterday afternoon for a early season muzzy or early rifle tag. 😁

My card just got hit for elk! Un-frickin real!

No youth tags for us. I swear I bought point guard for my kid that drew last year and turned in the tag but never saw points reinstated... Couldn't find the old email either, bummer. Upside is 35a has a youth deer hunt now. Maybe if time allows we'll go otc elk again this year. Congrats to all you lucky fuggers!

I couldn’t be happier with the work they did on my nevada ram at Henry’s Taxidermy in Kingman.

Tuff comparison, different back ground and distance. Butt we differently get the point. Even higher today and rising.

I dont see the double standard... you would not be automatically charged with anything if your dog bites someone. You could be, if you are negligent. What would happen to you is exactly what is gonna happen here, a lawsuit and being held responsible for all damages.

2 dozen arrows is a must! Good luck!

Waste any time what? Asking other people if they have tips on hunting an animal I have never hunted before? Yes....I have read books, watched TV shows, been in the field etc. Did not ask for a honey hole, didnt even ask where to hunt. I know where to hunt. Appreciate your time....feel free to move on if you have nothing of value to add.

Gravity scams me every time I step on the scale.

With the elk/antelope deadline upon us I figured it would be a good time to make a post about my September elk hunt. Long story short I wanted to hold out for a better bull than I killed in 2017 so I was being a little picky. After a week of passing on a few bulls and not really seeing anything I was willing to shoot I decided to try some different areas. Blake had seen a straight 6x6 he guessed to be 350+ so I went into the area to try and turn him up. He also mentioned there was a big 5x6 in the area and to be on the lookout. We were able to find the 5x6 and after a couple blown attempts he made a mistake. We slipped in behind him pushing his cows out into the burn to feed and when he doubled back to chase off a smaller bull, we happened to be in between them. It was a chip shot at 43 yards and my arrow center punched him and he took off running. We trailed him for a little over a hundred yards and when we didn't find any blood we opted to back out to return the next morning. Not how I wanted it to go but that's just how it sometimes is. By far my best bull and I'm not sure I'll ever harvest a better one, but it won't be for lack of trying...

It's on page 3 of the post above .

Antelope hunting is fun because you can glass them all day long not much downtime! Haven’t used the horse, but the cow works great three of us hide behind this one.

He Was like ... gotcha mthr fkr

My buddy does archery lope hunts. He has a 1 pin sight. Also he will use that goofy pronghorn hat to trick their sight. Not sure if that's really needed. But he likes it. Knee pads are a must plus whatever protection you can get. Get used to crawling for a distance with a bow too. Also get used to duck walking If it's dry water water water. Good luck!

Fair enough Dustin. Appreciate that and I need to be a little less sensistive as well. Been a long week at work. 🙂

Too long did not read. Lunatic.

I have to disagree. It’s the only thing going for this forum.

You likely drew your 1st or 2nd choice. Some cow tags see round 3-5.

Now that is awesome!!!
