Skipping it for the first time. Always have enjoyed it though.

That is just a cool story. I love the excitement and enthusiasm of first time hunters.

Thanks guys. I already have the form filled out by the Doc, just wasn't sure what to do with it. Like bigorange said, the website implies what to do, but doesn't really give good directions. I will take her down there and get it finished.

Man that is awesome.

Have any of you applied for a crossbow permit with azgfd? Did you have take your application to them or just mail it in? I can't seem to find that answer on their website.

Well done. Looks like you guys did it right and had a good time.

Ever hide a present so well that you can't find it to wrap it???? I can't decide if I am that good of a hider, that poor of a finder, or just getting too old to remember if I even bought it to begin with....

I do this when I lose an arrow. It works about half the time so I guess I break even....lol

Found it! I put it on the top shelf in the cleaning closet. She would never look there.......lol

I asked this back in November as well. The only thing I could find for potable water is at the casino. Dumb and rinse is available in town at the wendys gas station(cant remember the name though)

Since it is for the wife the price is not an issue. I would gladly spend top dollar to get her back in the field with me. Of course, if a very good one could be had for less......lol I appreciate the feedback so far. The internet is full of information but first hand knowledge from local guys is ALWAYS better. Any of the local shops carry an assortment? I just checked Timber Mesa and they do not.

Well done. It's nice when you don't have to hike all over creation for a stink pig.

That is cool. She should be thrilled.

Was up in 6b helping a young friend on his very first elk hunt (never even SEEN an elk before). Shot a cow at about 10 this morning. Felt it was a good hit but wasn't sure. Found her tracks and located a few speckles of blood. Followed the tracks for awhile with limited to no blood. After about 2 miles(yes 2 miles) blood speckles stopped, but I was still able to follow the tracks. After another mile and a half we lost the tracks over rocky outcropping up a very steep hill. searched a bit and picked them back up on the other side of the mountain. A couple hundred yards down the other side I found her. 3.6 mile track and recovery. just over 3 hours. Now the crazy part. He shot her perfect with a 168gr 308 Winchester(store bought). Double lung. The bullet never expanded. It was crazy. Crazy.

I was about to say Kayce Turley when I read the title....lol

The rut seems to be in full swing here in the valley....

Yes he was. The whole time we thought he made a bad shot, but he aced it. The guy with the two kids gave me a ride back after I found her. I was beat and really appreciated it. Do you know if they were successful? They were nice guys.

Not bad....for a dentist. lol

I know a sweet honey hole.....

I thought my track was long but DAAAAAAANG. Some of you guys have way better stories about bad shooting than my story....lol

huntin pecker....... Just about lost it.

Fan freaking tastic.

It looks like one of those old garden ladies bending over.....

I have never stepped foot in 6b and agreed to help a young friend with his December cow hunt. For you 6b guys, how are the roads? Can I get my trailer in there or should I plan on leaving it at home? I think he plans on taking the 535 in past the power line and camping back off the 538 somewhere. Any help is appreciated.

Oh man I have a friend that is one of "those guys". Has his primers in a mason jar handed down by his dad. Talks about the weight of powder in "grams" and buys whatever powder he can find or is recommended by the kid behind the counter. Has no idea about ANY of the intricacies of reloading. Just fills up the case and goes shooting. Scary. REALLY scary.
