Seldom Drawn

Thanks for all the input, I sent it down to Phoenix tent and awning, and I just got it back looks and works great.

Wow I live here and have never seen 87 bulls during this hunt,your 6 x 6 must have been a giant seeing that many bulls. Did you quit hunting after you lost this bull?

Which dirt tank? I am not going to tell what tank on the internet ,the same one i glassed you up missing another buck before this one.if this was you.

Did you kill this buck off the dirt tank?

Sometimes the first 15 days of October are killer, and sometimes the last 10 days of September are even better.

The rut is kicking butt right now, 6 nights in a row i have been out to 7W ,6B, and 11M and found an average of 2 to 6 bulls calling every night from 5:15 to dark. absolutely no hunters around.to many hunters only hunt the popular spots where everyone is or hunt the bedding areas when the elk are down.and scare them to another county,to many videos on how to hunt and call elk, elk hunters normally only spending 13 days a year hunting them and they think it should be easy and to the guys who think you can't call big bulls in anymore it's because you don't know what your doing. stop chasing them up the mountain when they know you are following them yet you keep cow calling 30 times and bugle your guts out. and everyone wonders why the bulls shut down really. by know means am i an expert but i live in elk country and am out almost everyday of the year it really hasn't change much.just a lot of novice hunters who think it should be easy it's not.

I just spent 17 days out alone, and had the time of my life, been doing it for 30 plus years.

Growing up we always called them cows, wasn't untell they got real popular to hunt and the intranet people started calling them coues they thought they were so tough to hunt it was insulting to call them cows.Guess what big Mulies are tough to hunt and we call them all kinds of different things but most don't get upset, It's way harder to kill a giant muley so why do coues hunters get so upset when people call them there real name?It's Cows just like cattle. POB, Guess I am one of the Jack asses.

Great job hunter and dad, one of the bigger bucks taken this year,theres nothing funner then hunting with family.

Thanks for all the input , i sent it down to phoenix tent and awning we will see what they say.

Elk were going nuts tonight in 7w tonight drove around to find someone to help most hunters are gone couldn't find anyone.

Listen to your gut and what Flatlander says

Really?

I have been out in 11m, and 7w, the last 3 nights many hunters have gone home. I have found elk every night, a 350 bull was bugling pretty good at 6 pm tonight in 7 no hunters around. Sorry AZLance for my grammar.

Been hunting for 40 years only seen G and fish 3 times in that period so I wouldn't worry, but yes you are all good.

With such a good year i have been waiting for pics of your clients this year, did you guys kill it? lets see some pics.

Been hunting 19a since the 70's there aren't a ton of them but there are some really good ones there I have seen up to 105-110 bucks there.

Congrats to your wife on killing this buck,I have watched him for the last 3 years I think he is the son of the buck my son killed, I am glad someone finally killed this buck since he was really on the down size of his years. Last year he still had an extra paddle he didn't have it this year.He is one cool looking buck. I only made it out 3 times this year and he was the fourth biggest buck i had seen you guys did a great job great job to you and your wife very awesome. 3 years ago this buck was pushing 88 inches he looks like 81 or 81 and a half inches now.

I have seen several of your posts and you guys kill some great animals,with so many awesome antelope units, with 21 points why did you burn them all with 21 points on 19a? just wondering my friends have always cleaned up on archery 19a, I don't really think this year was any different we just now have the internet for everyone to post there success.Did someone influence you to put in here?I know most units that say the success rate it usually way off. 19a has always been one of the easiest units to kill a goat. I have seen the stats of some units where we have killed 5 or 6 animals and it only showed 20 percent success don't go by the g and f book it isn't very accurate sorry you burned so many points. god luck on your hunt I hope you find a giant.

This isn't bull crap I also have a pic of another elk lost with 4 broaheads in it I have over 10.000 pics to look thru if I can find any of them I will post them up tomorow.I think i posted one of them on The Arizona hunter a couple years ago so I have no reason too lie if you don't believe it to bad.

Sent you a pm

We thought it was someone target practicing untill we thru up the spotting scope they were shooting 500-600 yards away they hit in in the legs the hoof the ear you name it we meet up with the officer later and he told us he wrote them up there was nothing left to salvage guts hanging out it was ashame.

ur an idiot too

your an idiot ,I took pictures of the elk with 5 broadheads in it if i can find it i will post it,and a game and fish officer witnessed the 16 shots and wrote them a citation so shut your trap dumb a@S

Last years lost in found is getting worse every year, I found a cow last year that had 4 broadheads in it amognst the bones,2 years before that in 5 b I found 5 broadheads in the dead elk bones are you kidding me most of the people on this site I think are newbies I don't get pissed I just state the facts from my experiance,back in the day we use to have are hunters use 220 grain bullets so they could bust the shoulder and then finish it off.I have read the posts on past thru shots with a bow I have killed well over 30-40 animals with my bows only one of those wasn't a pass thru were the heck are you guys aiming.more elk are lost with a rifle then the drug store archery hunters it's a fact I once glassed a guy shooting a 30 06 hit a elk 6 times and walk away thinking he never hit it because it didn't fall over.once in the Dragoon mountains we watched 3 guys shoot at a deer 26 shots they hit it 16 times and still didn't kill it.I think people spend more time on these forums then they ever will in the woods.
