I am likely going to camp on the east side of Chevelon Lake. Anyone think that is a terrible idea? Going to fish the stream and lake.

Yes, thanks. Went fishing there a few years ago. Incredible county.

Thanks All. I'll let you know where we end up. As a practical matter, I prefer streams/rivers so that my kids get used to that type of fishing (my favorite).

nope. Headed out 6/10

there are no childhood heroes anymore. Sad.

Hey guys- I typically fill out my card with family members for hunts. I have 7 points, my bro has 5 and dad has 6. The last member has 1 point. 7 seems to be a great number, and I have been holding out for late kaibab. Problem is, if I go alone, my chances are the best, but want to be along with family. If I am understanding the draw right, it would be 19 points/ 4 points for an average draw point of my card of 4.75. That would be a bummer and missing out on potential bonus pass. I am not the first to run into this, but I also don't want to file 4 separate submissions. thoughts?

Thanks guys. Now I have to decide if I am willing to put my family before hunting. Hmmmmmmmm.

insanity. wow

Sounds awesome, love that unit.

I looked at the bonus point reports on AZGFD.com. I looked at the "Bonus pass by hunt number" report. https://www.azgfd.com/hunting/draw/BonusPointProcess It was hunt #1014 last year. They gave out 450 tags. I see this year it got bumped up to 500. Thanks.

stupid question: but how do you know where the bonus pass is? I have 7 pts and trying to decide myself. Last time I hunted 12AW, it was the early and snow came early. It was awesome.

No sir, I was just suggesting that because more people are aware of this auction, there would probably be more FFL holders bidding... LOL... Another user asked what an FFL was and then deleted his comment, could be part of the confusion. Elkaholic, cool site thanks for sharing. I was the 'other user'. In my world, FFL is Fantasy Football League. I just figured it out and decided to take down my comment.

I saw nothing today, actually. I sat in front of a keyboard jamming out hundreds of emails and several conference calls. Then I came home to out-of-control kids who didn't want to take one bite of food. Then, the last part of my day was trying to get them ready for bed. Now, I this is the first few seconds of peace in the day. Nope- no help on the mysterious animal. haha.

you guys are all so bullish on this one, which is your prerogative. My thinking: I just don't think it stands out. EDIT: now I see the pic was uploaded. Fine buck. congrats.

That's what I tell my kids.

I smoked my elk roast in an offset smoker. Managed to a beef temp on a typical roast (forgot what it was, this was 3-4 years ago). I did wrap it in bacon to keep it moist. It was the best tasting piece of elk I have ever had. Had the texture of a filet mignon.

they call 3x before they give up on you.

...or CitiCard

screen shot please.

so good, haha.

what fun would that be?? haha

i hope so. in the mean time, why don't we mindlessly check this thread and our credit cards. who's checked their card the most??

My son is taking a ton of interest in geology (he's 6), and he has been wanting to get out and search for all the rocks where AZ is known to have them. I heard that there are more meteorites are found in AZ than any other state. Anyone have pics of cool stones they've found in their travels?

No can do. Risk of choking would be too high.

haha. They are stuffed into my boys collection. I'll pull them out and snap one.
