    JR elk hunt 2 weeks away, can’t wait!!!

    I helped my buddy's granddaughter on her first hunt as she helped me on my muzzleloader hunt the year before .she thought it was a little smelly but she hung in there while we gutted my elk and figured out how we were going to get him outa there .the whole time saying next year its my turn .she shot a cow the next year and a deer in kibab .the following year we were up for the same hunt this time my buddy hunted with his granddaughter and I had my other buddy's nephew .Samantha shot a good cow opening morning at 248 lbs dressed and Trevor got a shot that afternoon and missed so Samantha got to shoot at his hat and missed first time she's ever missed .she did have a crush on Trevor tho.Trevor got a shot the next day and all he wanted to now was if it was bigger than Sam's and it was but I told him no.uncle Joe got there and wrecked my fun and asked why he had to shoot such a big old girl she went 286 and is still the camp record its an absolute blast to go hunt with kids they get so excited I had more fun watching them hunt than I've ever had on my own hunts.

    If they get pushed they always seem to be around the 229 and 83 junctions you can also try around 81a it loops to 83 and back to 229

    New to long range

    Anybody a member at Rio salado range by the lake ? How does the range membership work ? Is it good from they day you sign up for a year or is it calender year.with all the testing its getting expensive to keep paying 15 bucks to shoot and might be better to just become a member

    DIY Gong Stands

    Way cool .that's a way better design than the p.o.s. I bought on line .they used conduit for the frame.in a a frame style configuration and every time you hit the Damm plate it would swing and fall over .just about piss you off enough to make you want to shoot the shoot out of it and throw it in the trash.thanks for some ideas to make it better.

    I was meaning work and the wife's to do list.I might be a little delirious I've been on 76 plus hour work week for about 6 months and just came in from being under my jeep to replace the oil pump.it sucks that all my hunting toys are so Damm expensive

    I'd have to be one of the 40 people out there to see it happening .its not all about the kill sometimes it's about getting away from it all and just enjoying the people and the great things you see in the woods

    They do generate a ton of money that's for sure.I agree its always good funnies to see the pics with all the different guides logos .I wish they would just do a random draw and give the tags to the az rez hunters that the animals belong to.they raise a ton of money on everything else.no raffles just a random draw 😁

    The wife and I went to the elk banquet a few years back my hunting buddy is a member and the guy at the table bought the tag .money does buy just about everything it sucked to find out it was rigged and they already had agreed to a price

    This is for all hunters ! The animals we hunt deserve the respect and admiration we should be giving them .take the time to make good shots and do the right thing for the animal .you would not want to be on the other end of your poor shot.they deserve better!!

    Sounds like a lot of the basics were missed.1 never change anything before a hunt if you've already got it shooting.2 practice and practice .3 set limits.elk are big ruff animals if there hit bad they will usually stop and lay down to die if not pushed.your blood and arrow would tell you this biased on color and smell .elk hit bad need a lot of time 8 or more hours to die if you push them they move and you can get where there is no blood to trail.you owe it to the animal you hunt to learn all you can and put them down quickly. Poor hits and no blood requires grid search patterns and a day or 2 of time

    No your limits and stick to them .I can't say I haven't lost an animal it happens to all hunters. But Damm 4 elk .I'm all about not bashing those for hunting with what's legal but you might need to change some things .I found that a rage in the shoulder on a deer is not a good thing and went to fixed blade and learned that it's important to make good shots no matter what your weapon of choice.For me it wasn't about yardage my shot was only 18 yds and the deer was broadside it was learning where to hit them.4 elk on any hunt is poor skills or just poor ethics and not caring about the game you hunt .it would get you kicked off the app to hunt in our group .
