Hey Elk hunters, my names Charlie and I drew an awesome tag with 8 points. Didn't think I would draw my first choice but luck had other plans. This is my first Archery elk tag in AZ. I've been saving my points up because I have been in an Electrical apprenticeship and wasn't confident I would be able to take the time off for 2 weeks of hunting. I've been hunting Coues since I was a young teenager. Elk hunting is still fairly new to me. Have been on 4 elk hunts helping family members and friends. I'm going to be running solo most of the time with some help from buddies here and there through out the hunt. I can't justify hiring a guide. any advice for this unit would be greatly appreciated. I plan on making a few scouting trips before the hunt. The projected precipitation and current drought situation has me a little worried about rut action but that could just be my inexperience. Any input on that would be helpful. Thanks for reading my post. I'm super pumped about this Tag.

Thanks man

Thanks man appreciate it

Pictures are bad. I guess what I meant to say is he was a 6x7 but now a 5x7. He has a crab on his right side. I consider it a score able point haha others might not

Thanks man. Oh where abouts? I'm trying to recall

You'll be fine man. Tons of cows

True 6x7 but his 5th broke off at some point.

Was able to get it done with my cousin. Called this bull in. Also ran into greenhorn walking down the road I was camped on. Got to talk to him for a little bit. Was wondering what kind of bull he was going to kill but looks like he killed a great bull. This is my first elk ever and I'm happy I got him with a bow. Not a 23N giant but a mature bull

Interested in any trades?

Nice! My buddy drew that tag as well

Also was up there this past weekend staying in pine, was able to get to the northern part of the unit in the Christopher creek area. It's dry but most of the creeks still have water in them. There is an abundance of elk in the pine area. All look really healthy so I imagine the ones in 23N are doing fine

I think it is unlikely dude. I know it's an all in hunt for you but I'm sure with 11 days prior to the hunt you're going to find something worth wrapping your tag around
