Solo elk is not so bad. You don't have to worry about anything other than yourself. Mouth call when they get close no other movement to get busted by the bull.

Save your money and buy a quality pack your back and knees will love you for it. Like has been said there are some really good deals on here all the time.

Seattle beats who ever makes it from the AFC.

Stop by the forest service office in payson and buy them there.

Nice buck good luck.

I use the 2200 most of the time. Just knives, basic first aid, 5 game bags, wipes, snacks and water. Basic rain gear if it looks bad weather wise. I carry the 2200 because I don't want to go back to the truck to get the bigger pack to get the first load of meat out.

He's watering somewhere very close to that cover. Let him come out to you.

Prayers sent for your safe travel and the strength needed for the family and your mom.

Azkiller why blow up his post if it's not what you want to pay leave it alone. Respect this site a little more than that.

I had one shut it self off and turn it self around backwards. Must have been lightning(lol).

Here is the process to surrender a hunt permit-tag: A hunt permit-tag must be surrendered prior to the close of business the day before the start of that particular hunt. An applicant who has purchased PointGuard will present the original hunt permit-tag to be surrendered, along with a completed tag surrender application form, in person to any customer service representative at any of the department’s statewide office locations. The hunt permit-tag being surrendered and PointGuard purchase will be verified by the department. The department will restore all accumulated bonus points for that particular species, including the bonus point the applicant would have accrued if not successful in the draw. The hunt permit-tag fee is non-refundable. A person who donates, or transfers, his or her hunt permit-tag to a qualified nonprofit organization, also can participate in tag surrender, provided the requirements listed above are fulfilled. An acceptable proof of the transfer must be provided to the department (a receipt from the qualified nonprofit organization, for example). The tag surrender application form and an acceptable proof of the hunt permit-tag being donated must be completed within 60 days of the donation, and no less than 30 days before the next application deadline for that particular species. According to rule (R12-4-118), the department has several options for the reissuance of a surrendered hunt permit-tag. The proximity to the start of a particular hunt, the type of hunt permit-tag, and demand for that hunt permit-tag will factor into how it will be reissued.

Here are the requirements: PointGuard is available to applicants who apply online for a hunt permit-tag. All applicants must sign up for a free AZGFD Portal account to purchase PointGuard (visit www.azgfd.gov, click on the “Sign in to Account” button in the upper right-hand corner of the home page, then select the “Create an Account” option). PointGuard is $5 per species, per applicant, purchased at the time of completing the online application, or prior to the application period deadline. The fee is non-refundable. Only one hunt permit-tag may be surrendered, per species. If an applicant is drawn in the future for that particular species, that hunt-permit tag must be used, expending all accumulated bonus points. Only then may an applicant participate again in PointGuard. The primary applicant (the person who takes the lead in completing the online application for the other applicants) will be prompted to purchase PointGuard at the time of completing the online application. That primary applicant can purchase PointGuard for each additional applicant who has a verified Portal account.

Carry 2 muzzle loaders, that way she will have a back up shot. While your reloading the first one.

Run with it I use to find scrapes in the blue in late November.

I like the intent of the program but it should be free and available to everyone. There should also be a set in stone way of putting the tag back in play, not the depends on their mood thing about who gets the tag.

Here is a picture from my cam I worked on some.

My sons first deer archery a small forkie but will never forget it. Last year watching my 10 yr old grandson kill his first Javelina and Deer with a muzzleloader.

That's what it is all about get them out young.

Great story. Congrats on a nice buck.

Foam or a good bag down first never feel the cold from underneath.

I have seen a few west of williams that surprised me for where I was at, but never in 7.

How many on here drew the unit 11 tags?

I think 7 will be real bad now that 11 is a draw.

My other is not even close to "23".

Wrong part of the state for me. But the above advice is sound or contact some of the tourney directors and tell them your looking for a new partner they are usually in the know of someone.
