*Correction he has already harvested twice

Gee I forgot thanks for the heads up!

Judging by the amount of traffic and what I just saw in unit 1. Take the first available spot you find

I thought that was in 27?

It work for the strip, last four years of elk draw and my bison tag. Bwhahaha

19 points for me. Not putting in yet, I have a system

Finally busting out of the ray slump

Figured why not. All of the party boats were booked. Shore fished harbor island with about 100 of my closest friends this morning. Caught a sand bass and a ray. This evening trying Spanish landing another 5 Ray's. Midday zipped up to Oceanside no parking. Pier closed that little bastard in the bottom pic gave me first experience with a sting ray tail hurt for a couple of hours

Squid and crabs. Couple of bites on crabs. They seem to love they eye/tail part of the squid Nother one

More rays this morning and playing with crabs

Yeah mission beach is closed right now. It doesn't make to sense to me to contract outdoor areas, but I'm not Californian

Another one from a few minutes ago

Just out of curiosity can somebody point out the age rings on this little guy?

Killed mine with 180gr out of 30-06. He lived less than a minute. Shots on the north kaibab are close.

During my bison mushroom pickers were everywhere

North kaibab

I just bought some from sportsman's for 33.00 out the door.

My priorities must be mixed up. All this is going on and all im doing is planning my next hunt, dependent on the next draw.

Psst. This was from 2008. Bush was president then.

I got a bull elk archery tag in unit 1 and I need some advice. What bow should I get? It's a late hunt are they still bugling? What broadheads? When should I start practicing? Is a 380 bull possible? Where should hunt? Any help would be appreciated, you can dm your spots so we can keep them secret. TIA

Just to keep long form story telling alive. Lets try this again with Elk. I think G&F wanted me to break one of the seven deadly sins (bible reference for Seeker) this year with the amount of tags given to me and my family, Gluttony. My hunting year will end for the most part with the completion of what was my favorite elk tag in the state, Unit 1 late archery. From what I have seen during September(helping my brother on his archery hunt) and a couple days of scouting the age class that made unit 1 great is gone. (tag allocation and long range shooting is my theory for another thread). So with that being said and my serious lack of vacation time from the aforementioned way to many tags this year, my standards are much lower than they would be usually. The first mature six point if I am using my compound or any bull with my recurve will get alot of attention. First day of scouting, (Friday the week before the hunt) all I see are million turkeys, antelope and Deer road hunters. Day 2 Scouting I was losing my confidence and went up high to one of my goto spots. I see a no-brainer opening morning shooter (not pictured) the only catch is he is in a herd of about 200 elk so getting close will be a challenge. BTW they are still bugling. For you duck lovers out there. Crescent lake has a few. From this distance they look like coots, but they werent. Also Geese are on the shore Tomorrow Ill check out the north side of the unit again.

Lee, If you asked yesterday I would have picked it up for you. No charge. I'll be down there again next week if you don't find anyone Fred

Matt Ahh that's right youve been waiting for bull tag for 8 years. As you know I get drawn every year. Bwhahaha. Keep the 6.5 at home be a real man and use your recurve

Should I get it wrapped in sitka or kuiu?
