Congrats on a sweet buck!

Thank you!

I am moving temporarily for work but I will be gone for 3 years. Not sure what the criteria is for how long me being away makes me a non resident? If I own a house here during the time of me being gone would I still be considered a resident? These arent things I've thought about so thank you for bringing that up.

Thank you for clearing that up for me. I didnt want to miss out!

I am fairly new to this whole draw process. I drew a deer tag through the draw this year so I understand that process. I have read the most recent elk and antelope regulations and have found that obtaining a bonus point only is pretty confusing to me. I will be moving overseas for a few years and am interested in obtain bonus points only for elk over the next few years. My question is can you obtain a bonus point only through the online draw system? Or do you have to submit a paper application?

Beautiful Ram congrats!!!

Great buck! Congrats!

Have you thought about a Mission? They are very reasonably priced and shoot lights out! They are also crazy adjustable. I bought my wife one 2 years ago and she shoots better than me on most days out to 40 yards or so.

I shoot gold tip hunter 340 spine cut to 28.75. I have had good luck with just regular blazer vanes and 50 grain inserts with a slight right helical for mechanicals. I really like the blazer heat vanes in a 4 vane configuration with the slightest right helical for fixed blades, also with a 50 grain insert. You can get a dozen hunter shafts on amazon for a fairly decent price, I paid less than $70 for my last dozen.

I have had very little luck with prefletched arrows and broadhead tuning. I have gone to doing all of my own and can get pretty repeatable results. It's not hard but does take some time to get what you like dialed in.

Good luck with your search!

Have you thought about giving Boyd's gubstocks a call? I believe they do custom work. I have a Boyd's on my rifle and love it.

There are tons of YouTube videos on how to break down cuts. It's actually very easy. Pick yourself up a grinder from harbor freight and have some fun.

I have winners choice on my Halon and they are nice. If you dont mind dealing with a little twisting while they break in they seem to hold up pretty well. I shoot on average 3-500 arrows a month and I have had mine on for almost a year now.

Thanks everybody for the positive feed back! Unfortunately this will be my last season in Arizona for a few years. I'm already looking to get back here and continue chasing these deer.
