WHALE

great buck thanks for posting.

Sorry to hear of the loss of another hunter hopes and prayers to his family.

My first pig was shot using the J13. Brother and me called and it came charging in to 15 yrds if we were not on a 30' bank it would have been in our laps. It kept trying to climb the bank and I actually missed twice before hitting it and that is the only thing that stopped it from trying to climb the bank. Since that first pig all other pigs I have seen are running the other way, I think that call has become over used by hunters.

Congrats on the bull. It can be difficult locating the big ones on the late hunt but it still is a blast just huntin and seein elk.

Took a buddy of mine out on his first big game hunt today. He had drawn a late rifle second hunt bull tag and I told him we could probably get a bull and he said any bull would work for his first. I scouted an area that held a few elk but did not receive a lot of hunting pressure. Wednesday I glassed this 4pt bull up and Thursday the same bull about 150 yards from where he was on Wednesday. Told my buddy and he said he would like that bull for his first. This morning we glassed for four hours where I had seen him and nothing. We decided to walk into where I had glassed the bull the two days prior and found him four hundred yards down the same canyon. Mark missed a couple of shots and then connected putting him down. Mark was shaking, giving fives, thanking the lord and saying he is hooked for life. I know a lot of people on here know the feeling of helping someone get their first animal and it is hard to beat .

Hope you have a speedy recovery. Best of luck to you on the turkey this spring and there will be another elk hunt.

Good to go, I've glassed a few up. Think you can get some time off work?

Great job on a great bull.

What broad head did you use? I lost a bull few years back with that shot.

congrats on filling the tags looks like you had a great time.

That is Mike Ellson who was or is the meat manager at Bashas.

Saw a white 2500 chevy pickup in payson area had the coueswhitetail sticker and a swavoski sticker also.

Hunting elk, deer or whatever tomorrow should be fun. The most wonderful time of the year. Where will you be?

It was a great year in field. Got to help some people get there first deer and others get some more memories of the hunt. I was able to get four animals with my bow all from the double deuce, nothing big but lots of fun. Maybe January I will start trophy hunting. Hope all of you have had and are having a great year.

Thanks guys, careful out there this mornin G.H. looks like a big city this mornin with all the trucks and quads coming through payson, must be opening day of rifle elk.

How was the buck fever? I would of had a heart attack on the spot.

Great buck come on January.

Way to get your son out there for the father son time and congrats a good first buck.

+1 The rest of you bow hunters stop putting in for these hunts so I can go bull hunting every year.

Looks great could you list the steps you took to make it look like that.

It was fun amigo. I'll call and pack out anytime. Maybe next year an early tag, guess I should get the squealing out of my call now.

Tomorrow behind the mesa of horses

Me and Haffey have been watching awesome bulls 2&3, looking at trails picks, drinking barley pops and waiting on 4:00 to come. Gino sorry to hear bout the H1N1 you must be spending to much time over in 23 you need to stay on the west side of the creek.

No I didn't. Would like to see them send them again or post em here. Thx jeremy

Have hunted it numerous time and it can be fun. Like Gino said if you can get a spot that you have to walk to all the better and if you can glass the base of the rim you should be set. If you do see bulls just be quick at getting to them, there is a lot of tags on that hunt.
