Great deal!

I took my wife shed hunting last weekend to look for her first Elk shed. She was really excited to start looking. I have been showing her all the pictures of the sheds that you guys have been finding. She has been very jealous of all the shed that other people have found. She has got the bug really bad. We hiked for about 4 hours. We only found this one shed, but her reaction was worth it. When she first saw it she screamed ELK. I thought she had seen an Elk, but a second later she starts screaming "I FOUND ONE, I FOUND ONE". I was so proud of her. I tried to get her to calm down so I could take a few pictures, but she kept walking around looking for another one. When I finally got her to stop she said “HURRY UP, I WANT TO FIND ANOTHER ONE". It was very exciting and really funny! We continued to look for another couple of hours, but no more luck! I took her out again this past weekend, but no luck. She was a trooper! I walked her 6-7 miles both Sat & Sun. Sat was nasty out. It rained and snowed on us, but she never complained about it. She kept saying “let’s go whare the horns are ". I tried to explain to her that the sheds could be any ware and we have to keep covering ground and look for sign. She did a great job!

I'm very excited! This will be my wife's first Turkey hunt. I hope she gets hooked after hearing and seeing her first gobler. We drew the first hunt in 22. I havent found much sign, but I'm sure it will all come togeather soon. Adam

What I hate about the early hunt is the ...SNAKES!!! +100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 I hate those slithering, ugly, disgusting, SCARRY and did I say SCARRY creatures. SCARRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Adam

I would be happy to take one for the team and help you teach him a lesson. No need to thank me:)

Very Cool! I want one really, really, really bad! I have had a few chances, but I havent been able to pull the trigger yet. I was very close to shooting one in 36B this past year. It was jet black with white rings around it's eye's. Hopefully I will kill one Soon, very soon:) Adam

I walked 10-14 miles between sat & sun shed hunting and no fresh Bear sign. I found a spot that would have been awesome last year. It's a spot that I will definatly be looking at this year. Hopefully I get a bear while turky hunting. Adam

Very nice! Beautifull country!

+1 for point restriction!

Congrats and good job helping find the guy, but I really, really, really, really hate you for finding all my horns:) Great Job! You da man! I really hate you! Adam

I'm looking for a Cabin in Payson to rent for my Elk hunt from Nov-30 to Dec 6. I would like to find a cabin that is centraly located around Payson, because 3 of the guys have the north hunt and I have the south hunt. If anyone knows of a good one to rent I would really appreciate the info. Price is important. I'm trying to find something that is under $1000 for the week. I'm hoping to find a cw member that has a place to rent. Thanks. Adam 928-595-1554

Dec 27 would be a Awesome Hunt, but a terrible management idea! These Hunts will really hurt those unit's. I cant beleive that G&F is even thinking about it. Just my 2 cents. Adam

Great, Thanks for the help! Intresting to see that some units have better draw odds when you have less bonus points. Intresting!

Forgive me for bing stupid, but I dont understand thate abbreviations for the last 3 colums. I want to know what the draw success rate is for having a sertin number of bonus points. Thanks

I'm happy to say I finally got drawn for Elk. I got my second choice of 22 South Rifle Bull. I know the area pretty good so I'm not looking for honey holes. I would love to hear from anyone who has had that tag in the last couple of years. How was the hunt? What were some of the pro's and con's of that hunt? What quality of Bulls should I expect to see? I know the South area can have some really nice Bull's, but a lot of that depends on the weather.

Any new reports of fresh sign? I'm headed out this weekend to do some Turkey scouting and hopefully find a lonely Bear:) Adam

You have two choices, 1st set up several tree stands on water and game trails. 2nd spot and stalk. It's a great unit, but that hunt can be very difficult. I would get very familar with the area and start setting up camra's. Good luck. Adam

Unit 22 South Rifle Hunt. I am very excited to see one drop! Adam

Unit 22 South Nov30-Dec06 Rifle Hunt. Cant wait! Adam

Anyone get a CC hit yet?

Can you post some pictures of your work?

I know how hard it is to spend two thousand dollars on a pair of binoculars, but trust me and many others. Do it! You will never regret it! You will be much better off buying a high end binocular. They will last you your entire life time and the warranty's are great. If you watch the classifides you can find a used pair of 10 or 15 Swarovski for under $1800. There was a pair of Swarovski 15's on craigslist a month ago that sold for $1400. Keep saving and buy the best not the 2nd, 3rd or 4th best! Just my 2 cent's.

They said he has no outdoor experience. That's very dangerous for someone walking around that area or any area. It's a sad reminder to always be prepared and let friends and family know where your going. I always carry enough food, water, emergency mummy bag and fire starting equipment to last me 3 days. I wount be very comfortable, but I will have a good chance of surviving until I'm found or can walk out. Adam

What is the Web Address to see the other items or to bid via telephone?

We found 1 Brown 5 point. There was a lot of fresh and week old sign. I was suprised we didn't find more. I'm suprised at the amount of Bulls that are still carying there horns. I would have thought most would have dropped by now. Adam
