elkhunter

as Lance said, it is hard to get permission out there, if you got permission then kudos to you! I know several who tried but failed. It is a decent area to hunt, it does not carry many deer but it is one of those places where you can find monster coues and mule deer, mostly mule deer. I have never been in the ranch area but around it, it's nice country.

my college buddy is a game warden based out of the Yuma district, I am not sure what units he covers but he does alot of check ups on bird hunters, says its good shooting down there, good job on your hunt!

was the game warden Joe Sawer?

John, I'll take the truck but I need to borrow $26,272 dollars! Great looking truck, good luck!

Good to know, I have the Leupold Boone and crockett model (won it on this site through big buck contest) and I was happy to know it was a Leupold brand because I have a tendency to have broken hunting gear.

east side is easier

wow, thats a great video as any! Tell us about the arrow, what was the penetration at that distance? I can tell you were ready to get up and run after sending that arrow out, congrats

keep it up, track the blood slow and make circles, stop occasionally to glass for antlers and an elk body around you, sounds like you hit him good, shouldnt go very far! It is easy to lose the track when a bull runs with the herd, he will break off when feeling very wounded, always look to the side of the trail you're tracking

The purpose of doing a survey during a hunt is so that Game and Fish can actually see the most animals they can possibly find. When is the best time for someone to see the most bull elks or coues bucks? During the rut. The most accurate animal counts occur during the rut stage so that's why they do the animal counts then. its happened to me before but not with pronghorns but with javelina. All I ask of Game and Fish is to be more considerate when someone is actually stalking or watching a particular animal. If they were to fly a plane and see a hunter putting a stalk on a 85 class pronghorn, they should pull away and do the count in that area after some time has gone by without runing a hunter's opportunity.

There's a feller in Sierra Vista that reloads for a person that goes to Africa annually for hunting and guiding, makes good money off of that. I think it would be a good business for someone to go into reloading for people who wants to extend their range

thats what hunting is all about, getting closer and closer each day! Sounds like you got a good thing running now, be patient and your time will turn!

It is quite common, some hunters rather take the elk's meat and then saw off the base of the skull to take the antlers. This occurs most when a hunter has taken a small bull, no use for the hide. Unit 6A around mormon lake has alot of smaller bulls so it's common to find racks sawed off. The question remains, was the bull taken legally? Poachers also cut antlers off from the base of the skull. Good job on the yote!

the funny thing is, if you did have your bow, that buck wouldnt have been there, things like that works in mysterious ways!

the second and 4th pics are contender for the TC contest! Nice pics and muleys of the desert!

I shot an elk that had a rear leg like the one in the picture, upon skinning her, I found that the scar tissue was around the knee ligaments and really no sign of abnormality with the bones so I assume it was a ligament tear in the back knee. Either that or she's suffering from extreme estrogen and sprouting a single XXL breast

I was gonna say that the dude with a redneck on a whitetail deer shooting rockets knows of this website but I couldn't remember your name, just your old avatar picture, thanks for the link, preciate it

its rough out around Apache maid, lots of pressure there, there are several roads that leads to canyons overlooking the rim area. I know it's early in the season and most of the elk have not migrated yet but there's nice bulls hanging along the rim. Here's a tip, have your pops be prepared to shoot a long ways

it happens every year when draw results are out, if you go to google and type down hunting coues whitetail, this website pops up first

during your scouting, check out the areas that has been burned, it's a deer magnet now and lots of bucks nipping the new growth plantations

After ditching the bad luck bean yesterday, went out today and the truck's running good and was able to glass up a herd of javelina....now it's tough finding them during summer months because they're usually down in the lush green flats, i think it's more lucky to pick up a bean and squash it from now on

This morning I went glassing for coues and when I sat down I saw a red bean which reminded me of Red Rabbit's story from a few years ago. Well I picked it up in hope of bringing me luck and find the 5 bucks I saw yesterday. Those bucks never showed up, found smaller ones all around. I went back to my truck and was driving down hill and my CHECK ENGINE light went on, spent the last 3 hours working on a speed sensor and the transmission. I went inside my backpack, grabbed that red bean and threw it away, don't pick any of em up.

I glass Ft huachuca often, some monsters in there, dec hunt is much easier on fort, if you work very hard you can get a buck easily

gona have to go to wal mart and buy some lipstick, that'll work much better!
