I just like the guys in the background trying to drive a motorcycle with a trailer across a river.

No it's on Acoma. So you think the archery dates are better? Thanks guys for the info. Nice!! I'm very jealous!! As far as rut goes I would go the 18th-25th if I had to pick the best dates for elk rut. I would compromise and go in October with muzzleloader personally but that's because I like the extended firepower. It sounds like you are wanting to bowhunt so I would do that if that's your MO. The rut will be better in sept then oct for sure! Awesome tag. I've hunted the fringes of that Rez before and there are some toads in there. Low elk density so don't expect to see a ton but keep your chin up cuz when you do it'll be a bomber.

I'm guessing your in unit 12? How big is the ranch? All landowner tags in 12 are ranch only so make sure the ranch is big enough to actually hunt. I've seen them for sale on a 600 acre ranch that doesn't have a tree on it so be careful what you're getting. If you have a ton of land with lots of elk them archery or muzzy will be fine. Those datesnfor muzzy would get me to bite as I like bowhunting elk but I LOVE hunting them in rut with a firearm. I've hunted the 13 muzzy hunt a bunch and it's a week or two later then that and there always rutting really well leading up to hunt but they peel out of the cows the second they get pressure.

What part of WA? My fiancé is from there and I've been looking at trying to kill me a blacktail one of these years but there's almost no info out there.

This hasn't been very constructive so far. Seems like a great question for this forum. If I had a clue I'd help!

What a steal on that bee brass!!!

Nice work! Good luck with the strippers next weekend!!!

That's awesome! That one is really white! How old is the pic?

What do you do with the electric tape? My new coverts over trigger all the time even on the lowest sensitivity mode.

If you're looking for "bros" you should go to the broad head brotherhood on FB. Lotsa "bros" on there.

Is this sold?

+1 on the muzzleloader! They're great and all but why risk the opportunity of a lifetime with potentially wounding an animal? If she wants more of a challenge then hold out for a bigger bull. I'm not much help but I can tell you that she has one of the best elk tags in the world!!

Ugh. That was a good deal.

My suggestion is that with a bow like that you limit shots to 40 so a 5 pin sight probably is overkill as you won't need the last two pins. There's a lot more then speed that you gain with a new bow. The accuracy you'll gain with the new parrellel limbs and cam technology far outweighs the speed gain. You can get s really nice used bow that is head and shoulders better then a nova for what you probbaly put into yours with the biscuit strings and monkey tails.

I've killed more stuff at 20 yards or less then all other yardages combined so I keep it. It's not much difference in drop but a few inches on a string jumping coues deer is a lot.

I got my deer but no elk. I saw my brother got his elk the other day. They're kind of all over the map with those refunds.

I've seen that happen to deer in ND and oryx in NM from a bad freeze but I wouldn't think that would be a problem there?

Awesome Bulls! I'd be REALLY surprised if any of them came out of the 4th hunt though. Although the old saying "elk are where you find them" is somewhat true. Late October is truly the hardest time of the entire calendar to find a bull elk. Combine that with 50 straight days of over the top hunting pressure and some seriously vertical country and you have absolutely the most challenging rifle bull elk hunt in the state. I'd hire timberland and go smoke the first branch antlered bull you find of that's what you're after. Better yet, shoot a big fat cow.

In my opinion that is a way way bigger bull though. His ends are still way bigger and swollen, that bull will keep adding length for a while now. Hard to tell from the angle but looks like a toad.

Am I off on this assumption? Wondering if anyone out there has chronological pics ever couple weeks of any Bulls on trail am? We used to raise elk so I watched them grow all summer but they were also captive so their diet was certainly different. Any input?

I guess I'm no expert by any means but it sure looks like that right G5 is awful skinny at the base if it's gonna get much longer then 4-5". Yes he could still add a lot of growth on his lower time length as they still carry some mass on the ends but that tail end is getting awfully thin to be adding much more on it.

are you calling me a liar? Haha. No. I believe the pic came from when you said it did, just saying it's hard to believe a bull would grow that fast and seem to be slowing down already.

Depends on the unit. Doesn't look like he's gonna grow much more then that. Seems hard to believe that he's that far along but he sure looks like he doesn't have much left. Some units and tags I'd be jacked with a 310-320 5x6 but if I had a unit 9 or 23 or 1 tag I'd be letting that old dude walk. Maybe I'm wrong and he's gonna have great big back forks and super long times but it sure looks like he's only got a couple inches to go.

Wow! Great deal! If I were closer I'd be all over it.

Stay at willow springs or woods canyon. That way your non fisherman can bait fish with ease. Then run up to chevelon early in the morning without them. Hike down on the upper end of the lake and fish where the creek comes in. If you want to fish moving water you can beach your pontoon and hike up the creek.
