  1. I got drawn for a late archery unit 10 bull tag along with my dad and friend who got the antlerless tag at the same time. I plan on going to the Big Bo Ranch area! Where are good areas to hunt/scout? I am not looking for a trophy as this is my first elk hunt! Thank you! Any tips help!

  2. The draw is out! Just got informed. I drew a late archery bull tag with 2 points for unit 10 Nov. 13th through the 26th! While my dad and friend got cow tags for the same unit and time with one point for archery! I plan on going up to see what the area looks like and to see access points because I know a ton of the unit is Private property! Do you guys have any good ideas where I should go? Stick to the ponderosa? Or go to juniper? Or even big bo? My dad is getting surgery on his back also in a few weeks and recovery will be 4 months meaning he will be hurting when he hunts so does any body have luck near roads for him at least? Any tips help! I am only 18 and will to hike across the unit but my father happens to have some restrictions! Thank you!


  3. I have 4 points and plan on doing a rifle hunt this year. I never have put in for rifle deer just put in for the bonus point just incase (mainly done archery OTC). Which unit offers the best quality hunt for mule deer this IS NOT the AZ Strip (12a, 12b, 13a, and 13b)? I will drive anywhere and hiking is not a restriction! Thank you!

    Is that $110 or $80 for the length of the season or by day?

    The permits go on sale in july. It's for the entire time from august to December whether you are scouting or hunting. You need a tag to get a permit. If you have no tag then you cannot have a permit

    They should show now.  Not sure unit 10 has an archery cow hunt. Check the regs.  4 points should score you dang near any archery cow hunt though. Since you are new i recommend you stay away from bull hunts until you have some experience in the field.  Go kill a cow with your bow, it will be a huge confidence booster. Then start looking at bull tags. Good luck kid.

     

    Will do! I appreciate the help!

    Rifle cow odds. You'd be 100% for the early cow rifle hunt. I'd say that's your best bet considering odds of filling the tag.Screenshot_20200128-214412_Chrome.thumb.jpg.04c304830d27b1d59211ca9b77b0ba99.jpg

    Dang that sounds freaking awesome! But I do not have a rifle. My dad got his right taken away from guns way back before I was born so I do not have one and since I live with him still. I cannot have one so I chose to buy a bow instead! I might try to put in for that though but use my bow for it though!

    Since your a kid they will cut you some slack.  First you need to decide if you want to hunt a bull or a cow. Bull tags are waaaaayyyy harder to draw. Archery tags are always easier to get then rifle but the later the tag generally the HARDER the hunt.  Unit 10 gets a lot harder as the season goes on from all that I've read.  But if you are happy to just kill a cow for meat then 4 points is enough to draw lots of cow tags in lots of units.   

    I plan on using the Bull as my first pick and the cow as a 2nd pick to back it up. According to top rut my chances of getting a Bull for the late archery in unit 10 is 85% with my points. And that cow tag is like almost a for sure draw even with 1 point. Only a very few ended up applying for that hunt for the last 6 year too! I would he fine with either. I honestly want meat, and a learning experience. I'm not looking for that huge 400" bull yet. But one day though!


  8. This will be my first Elk hunt ever! It will be archery for unit 10 for either a bull tag or antlerless. I have 4 points and the hunts are both during Mid-November! So I have a good shot at being drawn I believe! I need help for if the Big Bo Ranch permit is worth all the money. Where should I scout/hunt. And if calling would even be efficient. I am only 18 and am willing to hike across the unit if needed. Any information helps! Thank you!
