I'm sure its much easier for people whom live where elk are in there back yards and don't have to travel 100-200-400 miles back and forth . It's easy to use a tank of gas with all the driving around included. some have access to areas others can't go - private land - reservations etc. I feel lucky if I can get 3-4 a yr. if I can get that many a trip I'm a happy shed hunter. the fact that these "quad hunters" are driving everywhere they are not suppose to go is B.S. but even when confronted you get the flip -off and away they go , they will end up ruining it for all. Just enjoy your time in the woods and any sheds are a bonus!

In Az don't think MTN. think canyons

I couldn't believe it - doing some things online - I get bit not once but twice in less than a minute sitting at computer in spare room . just minutes ago WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON It's way to early in the yr. we've had no rain I was like no way it sucks when you have to put on lotion in the house . Any home remedies to get rid of these pests or stop the itch I thought I saw the culprit but this thing was faster than a fly and teennie tiny

I normally prefer a phone - mainly because I never know if its a secure site when I go to check out - so hard to tell anymore I use to see a lock or something showing or at least telling you its secure

By the time Az hunters actually get to hunt turkeys - 90% of the hens will be nesting already - Toms will still be active but not as much gobbling like what has been going on for almost 2-3 weeks now that doesn't mean you won't get "lucky" but the big groups you've been seeing all summer are dispersed finding and hunting roosts ups your chances of filling a tag

welcome to CWT In my opinion 21 may be the hardest of units to hunt for elk in Arizona - like you stated coues country. some of the best areas to find elk will be in the cedar bench wilderness and the pine wilderness neither are considered easy access Good luck getting up on squaw peak look out in the north part of the unit will allow you a chance to glass a lot of country

drive around during archery season and find the camps ,then follow those guys to the bugling bulls so you can pick the one you want for later !

looks different to me -- first one has distinct claw fronts

turkeys can have numerous roosts and no way of knowing which one they will use- they can easily travel a mile or more in any given day but tend to stay in a general area as long as they have food and water

anybody out there shot a .54

predator your pm is full - lol

"I hike the soles off my shoes "- that's your problem right there - everyone who will give you information on hunting whitetails - 3 very important words GLASS GLASS GLASS get ahead of the crowds and sit and wait for them to push the deer to you!!! how can you hike your soles off and glass all day ??

nothing for me - wife drew elk unit 10 muzzleloader with any luck can shoot one on my own land!!

The only program which will help more hunters get drawn - That's what we all want is an elk tag - by rotating the numbers - that means a waiting period 1 yr 2 yr even 3 yrs - after you successfully draw a tag. G&F would lose no $$$$ if they allow the successful tag holders to apply for bonus points while they wait 2 yrs or even 3 yrs G&F still gets their money - different people will actually draw a tag and those who wait will start their next draw with 4-5 points if you add loyalty and hunter ed. this will also help those whom like to hunt out of state to make plans If they can do this one thing - I'll be impressed and quit be - itchin I've waited 5 even 10 yrs to get a tag but with a new system - I might actually get 3 or 4 more tags while I can still hunt

well here in Az we have to wait for spring turkey - wait till all the Toms have had time to breed the hens - that's the official report

a few yrs back - in unit 10 one of the local ranchers whom has grazing rights in several portions of unit 10 spent several months with a big loader digging out all the tanks - a lot where filled up by natural flow of dirt/debris over the last 20+ yrs. cows were getting stuck in the mud when water was low - It was a dry yr and I know he dug them out 15 to 20 ft deep . so chances are if you see tanks with large berms - they are deep . Most of them this last 2-3 summers never dried up.- with any kind of precipitation there should be water in most tanks . bring your own posts for cameras - surrounding trees are already full of them

Guess I'm going to have to do something I rather not - cable off my access to my property. Up until now I've had no problems - I pretty much have a camera out year round, to catch pictures of anything coming crossing the hillside saddle . Luckily I have photos of deer - elk - fox-coyotes - bobcats -mtn. lion and a skunk - I don't count jackrabbits and the occasion neighbors dog and a few cattle I was not happy to find these photos - of someone driving up my POSTED KEEP OUT _ PRIVATE PROERTY which has very clear and obvious signs both sides- at the beginning of the 2 tract road at the base of the hill- just off the main road For whatever reason I guess he thought it was ok to access my land and drive over 1/4 mile up hill to the saddle - and then turn around for obvious reasons . my 2 tract isn't on any maps and you'd have to follow my tracts to even find it Time to cable - lock off my road . also really surprised that this camera which usually takes 100rds of unwanted pictures only captured these 2 - 15 minutes apart -- when its set to go off every minute ?? I know its a long shot but anyone recognize the picture of this guy or the vechile doesn't look like a hunter but he had no business being where he was

perfect to leave and guard your spot this year for elk or deer

I do not believe in fence nor do I have keep out signs every 50 ft - almost all of it borders state trust land and I can understand and have no real problem with people hunting on it but I don t think I'm wrong in posting off the entrance to the driveway - if the only way I can do it is with a cable or a gate so I can have some privacy on my own land - so be it Had a guy and his son walk up from the gate and ask about the road because G&F habi map showed it as an open road . At least they knew what a gate meant-- I told him where to hunt and he got a cow elk that year .

I've had someone turn off my camera before and found gatorade bottles that weren't mine but not that often I mainly wanted to tell this individual he had no business on my property - once people find and start using my driveway - every tom dick and harry and some hunters come hunting season may think its ok to trespass- I've had to petition the map software copy whom provides information to g&f habi map and others that the roads they have to my other land ,show it as a through road and its wrong - its ends at a top of a hill and no way across my land or my neighbors but it shows it on their maps even though I have a huge sign at the bottom stating DEAD END private property - I get people coming up onto my land- if I leave the gate- marked private drive - open while we are there- here they come drving up to our trailer if we are gone- gate locked - I always see tracts of someone turning around. ticks me off to no end -- last I called - told still being reasearched

that almost looks like round mtn in 10 -- all kinds of signs to make one think twice but a cable with a sign should work

Like stated - why even start this new website NOW IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DRAW why not wait a month when its after the draw A HUNDRED FOLD PHONE CALLS - INVOLVING THIS NEW DRAMA CENTER they will say - its easy to find your results just join the club and register a new personal account - look how many have joined already -- otherwise most would say screw it! ok how many who joined most likely would not have even bothered - other than the newbie guy coming on here and saying join now and see your results

could be any of the hunt/units along rim country

whom ever was part of this whole deal to split the hunts - why not 21!!??

I do not think they added extra hunts in 22 - 23 for whitetail anyway if I read it correctly they are just changing the hunt dates to nov instead of oct. which I think is a good idea only pisser why not change 21 also ???????
