    Hi-Ho Hi-Ho It's off to market I go

    Not enough I'm sure, but if you can get paid to hunt that's a win!
  2. Saw a 143 eldx on a cow elk at 400 yards (6.5cm) i was pretty amazed. She jumped, kicked and rolled and that was it. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but the SST are the same as the eldx with the exception of the polymer tip. The SST will start to melt and deform over long range and deform, vs the eldx is meant to withstand the heat and not melt. Meaning if you are not shooting long range the sst are just as good?

    No elk tag, other hunt

    There are clubs you can join. If you have time, which is what it all really boils down to. At least this is one hobby that can make you money instead of just costing money!

    Hunt Party Rules

    I'm lucky enough to have 5 kids and right now 3 are of hunting age. All 3 have killed one elk the last years. We got drawn for 2 youth tags this year (a first). Cant wait, I love helping my kids hunt. In the meantime im banking points for a primo hunt for me and my wife each. In the meantime i get to hunt with the kiddos and keep the freezer full. Not a bad gig at all! My advice to you is learn and understand the draw process, your good now because you had minimal points and have a tag. Go do the hunters ed course and watch the AZGF YouTube videos on the draw process. The last thing you want to do is build up points and burn them on the wrong hunt. Hopefully you got beginners luck and scored a bull tag!

    Hunt Party Rules

    Well if your happy just to hunt a new species in a new state you won't be disappointed. After all you drew a tag. I don't know draw odds for your hunts but based on the 2a and 2b threads you bumped to the top they seem less desirable and therefore you could have drawn it. If you did.. here's the good news, you have home field advantage! Get a pair of 15s and a tripod and glass glass glass. Learn every part of the unit, find the north facing slopes and shady areas to identify bedding areas. Look up lots of threads on glassing etc. Find feed and water sources and stack the odds in your favor. Find shelter areas or push zones and you will be golden! Good luck dude!

    Elk

    Right on, didn't know if you had it narrowed down. Hope it's a bull tag!

    Hunt Party Rules

    Will this be your first elk hunt? You seem unfamiliar with the whole process, and I don't mean that disrespectfully. Friends on an elk hunt are lifesavers. Any idea which hunt you got?

    Ticks and javelina

    Guess the score

    I got 0 experience judging elk. Hearing about scores I always figured a 300" bull is a shooter any day in my book. That being said I would still guess him over 300.

    Powerlines and feeding

    2 and 3 years ago the powerlines had a fair amount of activity during the youth hunts. Last year you could tell that forest service had mowed them all down in the areas we had hunted and seen elk the couple years prior. It was a complete ghost town compared to the years before. The kids in camp had a real tough year last year I think in large part due to the thinning of these areas. My question is, once an area is cleared how long does it take before native food sources regrow to a point where they become a feeding area again for elk and or deer?

    How many tags will they sell now?

    I just threw up in my mouth a little

    How many tags will they sell now?

    Wow! I'd like to see the quality of a stripper that only cost $7.50 per dance.

    Powerlines and feeding

    Don't know. I guess either way with the recent storm it should be ok

    How many tags will they sell now?

    I bet a high percentage of cats are killed the same day a tag is bought. Coincidentally.
  21. CatfishKev

    How many tags will they sell now?

    I think like $15

    CC Hit (First Elk Hunt) GEAR TIPS

    Killed a cow with my 10 year old son on an otc hunt once. No pack frame and was only my second experience dealing with one in the field. Let me tell you it was BRUTAL!. Killed it on Christmas eve and it literally took all day to get it out and back to camp. Cool thing was cooking some backstrap steaks over the fire that night my boy said "if I died tonight I would die happy". One of my most cherished memories.

    Possible To Be Allergic To Only Bass?

    Too many unknown variables to answer from an outside perspective.
  25. I have a couple kilos of primo stuff I need to pick up around 17 and the 101 and get down here. Anyone making a trip already?
