Went looking for sheds and found a Montana cow elk decoy. Looks like someone left it stuck in the ground and it blew down over the winter. If you left your decoy out and this is it I’ll get it back to you. If so let me know what unit you left it in and we can go from there to see if it’s yours. I’m not sure how to do this without someone giving away their honey hole but I’ll want to be sure it belongs to someone before I give it to them (will eventually have to tell me the general area where it was).

Sorry I stopped checking this thread. Was’t there though sorry.

Similar to other posts, you can camp just about anywhere. The post about picking what vegetation you want to hunt (pines, firs, aspen, juniper) then camping there is solid advice. Elk are everywhere up there and You can park a trailer near any place you want to hunt. Good luck!

Watched a bedded buck get up to check a doe, then left. Central AZ units don’t seem to have any rut going for me yet. Lots of does though. Good luck on your muzzy tag!

Nothing I’ve seen yet. All does I’ve seen are without bucks. Jumped what I thought was a buck at last light yesterday and he sounded alone. Central AZ.

That’s pretty cool. I’ve had it happen once before but they weren’t quite that close. Probably 100 yards away from each other.

Does anyone know a good stock fitter in the Phoenix area? I’ve looked online and I might try to stop at magnum mikes today but I don’t know if they’re open. I don’t have shims but I think I need to make some adjustments and check my form too.

Thanks! I’ve seen that method online but I think I need bigger adjustments than what they seem to make in those videos. I’ll give them a call thanks!

Anyone have a recommendation for fitting a stock? Thanks!

I loved this story - really neat way to have a repeat of your first buck. I’m missing a WT hunt that my brother is on right now and it’s killing me. Glad you got to go together.

The best way I’ve found for making them tender is to skin and cool them quickly and put them in a brine for a day. My first was cooked over fire and not brined and it was like leather. I learned to skin and cool them quickly then let them soak in salt water. Totally different and they taste great

Thanks hope the other guy likes it. My loss for waiting...

I was billed for the youth tags after 11 last night and before 7 this morning. Good luck to everyone still waiting..

It looks like it’s not too late. Here’s a screen shot of the email from AZGFD. You may need a portal account to get some of the info I don’t know. Good luck.

How well do they function? Good quality pics? If they still take reliable and good pictures I’d be interested

I saw a few comments on here about cameras. To be clear, this proposal would ban all hunting within 100 yards of natural or man made water sources. Anything that holds water. That would eliminate a lot of ground. Not sure what he’s trying to accomplish has anyone heard why he’s proposing this or what he’s trying to solve? If it ain’t broke don’t fix it..

I noticed the same problem with the iPhone X this season. I ended up just taking video zoomed in, then screen shot to get a still pic but that was it. After I got home I played around with it and it seems like if you zoom in, then move the phone so it’s not looking down the Binos anymore, then slide it back in line with the Binos it works. I don’t phone skope I just hold my phone to the Binos. Hopefully this helps. I wish I’d known before so I could have some nice pics of some deer now...

Saw this sign in alpine recently. I’ve never talked to them but should be a good start. Good luck on her hunt!
