What is so wrong with november bull tags. I bet you will surprised at what someone who would put the effort into scouting will take on that hunt. Theres a big differnce in hunting units like 1 and 27 compared to unit 22 and 23. I will be using that as my second choice every year. Depending on what units they actually have tags in, it might even be my first choice. The elk are still there it just takes alot more effort to dunk one. With that said I do not hope they take any tags from the early hunts I am only for this if they add these tags as a more opportunity.

Thats some awesome footage. Great job.

This friday I will be using a hundred grains of black powder and as many number 5's that fit in a 3.5 night shot cup. Hopefully there will be pictures of my first muzzle loader bird.

You guys better dump all those hi powered binoculars because my guess would be they help do in more critters than salt ever will.

Nice birds.

Nice footage, and I feel for ya with your comment about, I wish the horns would drop, I have wished that many times myself.

I found these the last couple days.

My brother and myself hit it hard fri and sat. We found 13 elk 9 old and 4 fresh. We also saw around 40 bulls and all had dropped but 1 small 6pt. We are already seeing alot of growth. any 27 turkey hopefulls

Some better photo's

My boy found this set this morning.

A friend of mine that runs our inmate fire crew said he saw crews bringing in horns at most fires he was at. Most of them were found as they hiked in and out from the fire.

Just make everyone that wants to hunt archery put in for a archery tag on the spring draw for the next year. No left over tags, you either archery hunt or not. This way if your an archery hunter you still get your tag and doesn't change where you can hunt or the season dates.

Those are some great photo's. You got to enjoy seeing rams like that.

The prisoners are contracted thru az correction industries (aci) to do data input of the paper apps and have done so for years. There are many aci jobs in our prison system.

That picture with the snow falling is awesome. Great job on the snow pig.

More of our tax paying dollars to fix up drug runners. That is crazy down there.

Sounds like the first of many to come. Congrats on the patience to wait on the perfect shot.

I finally scored on a Jan muley. First light on friday I shot a 4 x 3 muley and on sat I shot a pig about 2 hrs after my partner got his pig. It was cold but well worth it. The pigs were no where to be found until 1 pm and then it seemed like we could glass any where and find a herd. The mule deer were rutting hard and we saw many quality bucks on friday and saturday. I will post pictures as soon as I can load some up.

We have fresh scrapes by my tree stand in unit 22 and have also seen srapes in unit 27.

I figure this is punishment for last year when the archers didn't like there november hunt idea. Last year they were after more oppurtunity for archers and since we didn't like their ideas we will now pay for it by less archery oppurtunity.

Unit 22 over a srape line.

scouting is scouting. Randy Ulmer has earned his rep by doing what it takes after getting within range of his target. I'm sure the ethics police, if really scrutinized would find all their methods do not fit everyone elses either.

You can make that noise by popping your finger out of the side of your mouth. I have used it before when bulls are really close and hung up without a shot.

Learn to shoot from your knees. Elk are way more forgiving to something low profile than to you standing up. Also if were your hunting has long ridges with side draws be on top of the rigde well before daylight. When the herd bull lines out his cows to push them up to bed, get to the top of the draw he's coming up. They will useally walk right past you without having to call much at all.

We left flag friday around 2 pm and it poured all the way to the top of the rim above strawberry. It has also been drenching eagar off and on for the last 4 days. We got some real drenchers around lyman lake today as well. It is finally looking green out on these flats.
