I have a .257 weatherby and I reload for it. Let me know Jeff

Isnt that camera able to send pictures to your email? Rather than worrying about phones....i do have t-mobile though...hmmmm Jeff

Hopefully I will be there with a archery bull from Unit 27!!

I was curious how you found his sheds.....I have a buck I have on camera for 2 years and am having a heck of a time trying to find his sheds. I have seen him in October (during my daughters' youth hunt-missed him!) and have trail cam pictures of him in December. All the locations I have seen him or have pictures of him are within 1/4 mile in steep terrain. Did you have luck finding his bedding areas, watering, feeding? I guess I am looking for some help. I would guess your buck around 4 or 5. He does look a little bigger than 90 inches though! jeff

The most updated map of "closures" is Jan. 2012. I sent an email to the forest service to make sure it was the most updated map and this was the reply: "Yes that is the most accurate map of the Wallow Fire. They are planning to have almost all campgrounds open this summer, but you will need to call before making the trip to see is the campground you want to stay at is open. 928-333-6280" It looks like the only area still closed to any access is Escudilla closure area in Unit 1. All the areas in unit 27 that were closed last season are Open to Entry but Closed to Camping. I am excited for my archery bull hunt in September and cant wait to even get out and start poking around. Hopefully I can get some pictures of my scouting trip posted up.

Congrats!! My daughter had the junior cow hunt last year in unit 1. It was a great hunt. Burned areas held elk and we didnt have a problem finding them. I would still scout and hunt the areas you are familiar with. Jeff

Got my unit 27 archery bull tag a couple days ago!! Jeff

I havent got my tag yet but my wife and daughter got their refund checks a couple days ago.

Helping others out is a heck of great feeling. Then you get the bonus of all the antler! NIce!! Jeff

That's cool! I can't wait for my wife to find her first shed! Jeff

Nice! Congrats and thanks for posting!

Yikes!! One of those bulls doesnt happen to be in Unit 27, does it?! Thanks for getting me all jacked up! Jeff

I had a cow tag in unit 23 (New Mexico) several years ago and hunted behind Alma/Glenwood and it seemed like all the elk were coming in from AZ. LOL. NOw I have the same tag as you and I have thought about checking out Alma Mesa for the same reasons as you. However I dont have access to horses. I have spent time looking for sheds around Rose peak and i believe the elk are only there in the later seasons. I have spent time in Beaver Creek area and Campbell Blue and will be checking those areas out more thorough because I have been there camping in October and liked what I saw!

Looks like i drew your 27 archery bull tag neighbor!!

I drew the same tag!! Congrats!!

I drew the same tag! My daughter had the jr. hunt last year in unit 1 and it was a blast!!! Jeff

Unit 27 archery bull!!! Jeff

I give up!! Jeff
