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?

Sorry native arizonan. Im sure im a better hunter than you. You need to stick to Facebook groups, adults are talking here.

It was, I was just cat fishing the noobs. I checked my profile and I had a bunch of visitors I didn't recognize.

1st world problem, I know

Yesterday was april 1st?

Should I get the 30 cal creedmore?

Are there big bulls there?

So my 150 dollar diamond backs won't cut it?

This is my year!

What's the big deal, I get a tag every year😂

The guy (my uncle) that taught me how to hunt. Fear of the unfamiliar is humorous.

Show low also doesn't have old growth spruce trees. Here's one from this morning by the elementary school

I forgot to mention the acronym for no one's watching outfitters is NOW outfitters

With all of the grocery stores being out of food. I decided to take matters into my own hands and challenge the feds on the taking of equines. I decided to go traditional and used my recurve. Perfectly placed behind the shoulder. He didn't go far very short blood trail! I didn't think it would fall that easily. They are truly magical creatures Tension breaker had to be done

Just one but he was a few miles from the power lines

No one's watching outfitters

I'll write the story of Eastman's tonight. I wonder if I will get the cover?

Where are you located?

hope/prayers for aSpeedy thorough recover sir

Bison, venison, elk and lion in my freezer. My non hunter acquaintces like me a little better today

Had to take my tp search next level. eBay it is 4-ply

On the positive side. Rush hour traffic in the PHX metro area has been great!
