My portal just updated with hunt info .

Oh wow your so tough hurling insults over the internet. I'd like to buy you a bud light sometime 😉 I am certain that's your beer of choice now!

What? No way? But....but .... it was a credit card and ....and those are absolutely reliable 1002 ٪ ... you must be mistaken!

Wtf is that supposed to mean? I'm not the one on here bullying guys for missing an elk tag. Move along. You don't need to respond to any of my posts!

As banks are failing right now lol. Your "credit card could decline a transaction for any number of reasons" I hope it happens to you !

It was an unfortunate unforseen event. I'm sure nothing like that has ever happened to you?

Congrats . 👏 nicely done.

Congrats that's a great tag . You will do well.

There are otc options in areas where there are lower densities. And those might be a good options for some people. But the attitude of some on this forum to this man's misfortune is a little disheartening. And likewise if you have 10s of thousands of dollars in the bank at all times you could just hunt private land in New Mexico etc....

Nice!

That's awesome ! What unit?

Dang unit 6 is the elk unit I have the least amount of experience in. Good luck hope you find a fat one.

What unit? I drew 7e late rifle bull.

On a side note results are up.

Just got my hunt info posted to the portal. 7E late bull.

Cost of a cow elk tag $135. Cost of a bullet? 1 to 2 dollars? Cost of gas? For some 100 bucks$ for some 5$ ? Pounds of meat from a cow elk.. Average for us has been about 240# /142 = .56 That's pretty cheap. I personally know of families that have relied on this method. Now of course they are also hunting out thier back yard basically. But not every one has to have a 2k rifle set up with laser range finding scopes and a camp trailer that's 20k and quads or side xsides for 25k. And 5k worth of optics .

I dont know when hunting became a Rich man's sport? The people who would benifit the most from the meat are those living on the edge you know barely getting by. I have seen enough of the ridicule from this one man's misfortune on this thread to surmise that there are more than a few hunters ( I use that term loosely) in here that think hunting should be reserved for those that have unlimited funds? As a fellow hunter and someone who has been through struggles financially in the past my sympathy to the OP . To those of you who can't relate you should withhold judgement . If your just here to discourage others and to brag about your bank account we can all assume what your over compensating for.

Dude . You don't know me. Nobody was talking to you. Move along!

I miss those days. That system was state of the art circa 1990. My tag number disappeared from the portal as well. Guess I'll just stay in idaho.

Did anyone else that had seen a tag number on thier portal have it disappear? Mine did.

Is that a cow tag?

Carltons fighting cow call will usually stop a bull and turn him. I've done it even after I spooked em. Orion calls out of Colorado has a nice cow call and then of course sceery calls.

What hunt did you draw?

Yeah I didn't sign up for etags. So next week will tell. I should just be grateful to be hunting again this year. 🙏

Oh yeah I know what my tag # is I'm just pondering why in the AZ draw system they will post your tag number before they post your actual hunt.
