Nice try for a friendly reminder - should know better than to do something like that here! Better off with - I shot 3 animals I couldn't recover and then killed one but didn't look for it for a day or two and found it but coyotes got to it first- good hunt! That will get you thumbs up!

Hope I'm wrong but sounded like a branch hit vs a ribcage...

I killed a bull on a rough Sept hunt a few years ago doing this same thing except he just stood up at 50 after the bugle... cold called about every 300-400 yards. Only way I know how to hunt them when you can't chase - I hate sitting water but obviously an even better way. Last year sucked after day 3 and killed a bull on water day 6 because was out of options if felt already. Stayed up for the rest of the hunt to help a buddy and it just kept getting worse and worse. Felt like the rut ended and they went deep.

Stud find. I would say 340ish

You know it’s archery season right? Lol

Able to recover the meat or was he dead awhile?

People keep hiring all the ones that are scum though. All about those horns.

+1 for EGW

I'd take them if you come to the tempe/chandler area ever

Anyone have a line (besides the typical online shops) for a single ford explorer sport wheel. 20" wheel, 10 spoke, Charcoal in color. Thanks! Josh 480-369-49twothree

I know all these awesome dudes out there shooting 80+ for elk but too many variables for me. One step at that distance after you let the arrow fly that’s a 3’ change in target. Then you have wind and adrenaline and deflections and everything else. I’ve killed 8 archery elk between 18 and 52 with several in the 40-45 range that seems to be the sweet spot for me anyway. Like AZ said shoot 60 so 30 and 40 feels like a lay up. Make sure to practice split distances (like 35 and 45) and from your knees would be my advice. good luck!

I've sent an email or two with suggestions including the idea of 3pt on one side or better. The reply was that all the data they have recovered from other states doing this is (as you would expect) a much higher rate of 'non recovered' deer and no real help to the quality of bucks. I would love to see them try it in a unit or two for 2-3 years and prove that. If you condense it to one unit, you could really pound the message to those tag holders, gates, message boards etc - that this is a test zone, we will be patrolling (I know haha) at a higher rate, fines are doubled, we are counting on you to make this test a success (one way or the other), if you don't want to be included, don't put in for this unit etc etc etc.. and see what happens. Pick a southern over hunted coues unit (one of the 36s) and one of the over archery hunted units like 1. Add a body or two to patrol (make it a seasonal non LE role or something) and give it a go. I've sent the same suggestion for immediate catch and release during March and April. Prove me to that pulling females and protecting males from the nest during the most critical period and put them in a box for 5 hours and release at the other end of a lake doesn't have a negative impact on the fishery. Our fisheries are good - but I have to believe they could be so much better if we allow nesting fish to get back to their nest. The technology is there for the tournaments to adjust MLF style. Pick 2 lakes and give a go for 2-3 years.

My thought too that is why I was surprised on the take above. Has to be saving dozens of deer in those units (1, 27, 20a) and then saving a few here and there for seed in most of the others.

Interesting takes... I was of the uneducated opinion that the 1.5 year olds were getting killed at the same or almost same rate anyway plus a total higher % of deer before trail cam ban and harvest objective making both beneficial to overall deer and quality of deer in the state in just a few years. You are saying the rush to get it done in 'your unit' is adding to the kill the first thing I see because I don't have any patterned and I need to get it done before it closes vs those tags going unfilled?

Look at the savage rascals too if you haven’t. Large feeding ramp, true safety, adjustable trigger. Pretty slick. Gl

Love the fit and feeL of this rifle - throws up like a good fitting shotgun. Glws

Debated on the Ultra Elite (with this stock but folder version) or the KLYM (with the carbon/3d FBT stock). Ended up with the KLYM and really like but this MDT stock sure felt good. Next year maybe. GLWS

Yeah the inflation caused by trump comment confused me. I’m not a smart person and I’m sure impact of things done years ago linger but I had one job and money in my pocket 4 years ago, today I have two and have to question every expense. Utilities are up 30%, car insurance almost doubled, gas almost doubled, taxes up around 15% and then ofcourse cost of goods If that’s trumps fault from 4+ years ago then I guess Joe telling me how great our economy is actually correct and I really am confused.

I also love how the 'democracy is at stake' slogan is coming from the party that didn't allow their constituents to hear from or select their nominee - not once, but twice. Not to mention lying to the public for 6+months about old joe until they couldn't hide it anymore and time to sweep him under the rug. I guess none of those things matter either.. as long as I can kill my kid and smoke dope - I'm good!

Yeah but he's also against killing your kid and having pot heads and illegals rule the country.... can't have that kind of thinking

Always thought this was an interesting view - can zoom all the way to your voting local - the population centers of course decide the election but sure paints a different picture... https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/upshot/2020-election-map.html
