Greenhorn

did the elk grow antlers this year, or are they busting into the cactus to get something to drink and have only spike horns?

Any recent moisture?

Actually, it's coming from a person that also has the permit. I was trying to be funny. Are you getting some snow there, rain? I'm the most frequent watcher of weatherbug for 23N from 1000+ miles away.

Based on current/recent weather - recommendations are coming in for all 23N permit holders is to surrender those permits. 🙂

I would love to find a couple young locals that would let me hire them to be on speed dial with backpacks if needed.

Congrats Vincent - I also drew this hunt, after applying every year since 1997. I drew permit #1. I'm very excited but nervous having never been there and will only have the week prior to opener to scout, but will be there until the last day if needed. Hoping for a lot of action and to see some nice bulls. Good luck to you and share some photos of the country if you're over scouting this summer.

I drew that one also - 27 points

Boom! Party time

Says I’m tag #1 Doubting early rifle so assuming early archery 23N

How long does it usually take for the game and fish to update the portal once the cards have been charged? I’m assuming that’s a frequently asked question..

First applied in AZ in 1997 with hopes of drawing elk. Have applied every year since and have drawn strip mule deer and 2 antelope permits along the way. Finally drew elk and looks like I’ll be in 23N most all of this coming September.

I never did hear back from the other permit holder from last year in 17A. Anybody know him or how he did? I spent about a week down there looking all over and didn't see many bucks, none that I felt were 80". I shot this weird one on the opener and went home to hunt elk.

Hey! Just checking back in and saw your message. Let’s stay in touch for sure- congrats on the permit and those are some great bucks! Kurt

17A it is.

Del, those places you mention a quite a ways from where I'll be hunting. But any Arizona antelope photos here would be certainly great to see here. Last time I was down that way antelope hunting was almost 25 years ago in 19A. I had a muzzleloader permit - man there were some big bucks around but more of a suburban/private land hunt than this one might be. I applied for 5B first choice, but I'm assuming I drew 17A - I'm not that lucky. - Will likely see official results soon...
