Everything North and South of the 260 is great elk country. The problem is the Elk have all left. It is a combination of horses, drought and the OTC hunts in 3A. I heard through the grapevine so I can't confirm 100% but during the count last year they found under 100 head of elk that historically has 600-800 head and over 1500 horses. There will be some big bulls still show up and you will find pockets of elk but it isn't the same as even 3 or 4 years ago. Pray for good monsoons, lots of grass and that the elk will stay in 3c.

After years of waiting to get a turkey tag I finally completed a bucket list item. My brother called in this bird in on the 2nd day I was able to hunt. 2oz of #7 1/2 shot bing pushed by about 5 drams of black powder. W C Scott and Son 8 gauge hammer gun made in 1888. Picture of my brother posing with my 8 gauge and bird.

Well the shed hunting has slightly tapered off for a bit. The warm weather and opening of forest roads has produced the yearly influx of campers and hikers and our success rate has dramatically fallen. We did glass up a shed over a mile away though 15x binoculars. I couldn't tell if it was a small elk or big deer. Well after a tough hike up a treacherous cinder cone we discovered it wall a small deer shed but our first brown deer of the year. We have a place in Montana are headed up for the summer and plan to do a bunch of shed hunting up there. It will be a fun challenge. We are in the area where the show Yellowstone is filmed. In the last season where the old cowboy died sleeping on his bedroll under the stars was actually filmed in our front yard. The area is abundant with whitetails, muleys and moose. My son is dead set on finding some moose sheds.

Circle K by my house in SE Tucson is 4.19 diesel. Where I usually try to buy across town is 3.55...crazy how prices vary.

Just go up and enjoy and don't stress about the tag. They will be bugling the whole hunt and some days better than others. All the hunters will be gone after first week. Enjoy heber or showlow and eat good food and chase elk all over that place. U will find them!

I've got some neat old stuff. Open to offers. All boxes but the three separate are full. The ammo in the bag is 35 Remington sold for reloading parts, shoot at your own risk. They look ok, but I'm not sure. For a starting point, the Winchester 22 ammo appears to be last sold for $18.90/box online. I've got 12 boxes of it. Not looking to retire, just looking to be fair for both parties.

The trick is to not have to get gas/ fuel on Thursday thru Monday it seems the qt by me Jack's the prices just in time for the Friday rush. It was 399 for diesel by me in Gilbert . I filled in mesa for 349.

Couple weeks ago the Maverick way north Tucson was 3.49 for diesel. I got stuck at the tracks because of a long train so I decided to go to the QT west just the other side of I10 thinking they’d be competitive. Nope 3.99. Turned around and waited for the train to pass!

Ya i guess my last post made the unit and tag sound depressing and it is not. I was more responding to horses and less elk. I honestly would say from 2016 to now i prob saw half the elk i did last year compared to 2016.But we did find ek and bulls just not as many as years past but was still a blast. pic of nice bull from first year she had tag in 2021 i think before camera ban. She had this bull at 40 yards with no shot. Was huge up close But no idea what it would score.

Should have posted this yesterday Russ. I fill up the company vehicle and my diesel truck on the Rez. I paid $3.35 for diesel last week.

Blessed with a nice Bird. T2.mp4

Excellent job dad and son!

Work on em daily and deal with em daily. All makes and models of Diesels. Diesels are in the same wave as the 1st gen Tacomas were during Covid. Everyone thinks their silver costs the same as gold. A relative comparison is people asking 20K for 2nd gen Cummins, both pickups bluebook at 10–14k max in excellent condition with the highest level packages based off being in AZ. Given it’s at 165k it’s right on the bubble for multiple repairs and if it sits more days than driven that’s ground for even more issues. Getting sour over my comment shows me that you’re aware. Anyways, enjoy your weekend sir! Didn’t mean to rustle up any feathers! Good luck again on the sale, nice truck.
