Devil Diver Down

I count myself lucky to be hunting elk in AZ again this year - drew a leftover archery cow tag for the Coon Canyon/Flat Top area in Unit 1 for October 4-27. Reading about the area turned up that it's limited access for vehicles (actually a plus for me) and looking at the map shows it is a relatively tiny area. I've never hunted anything, anywhere in Unit 1, much less this small sub-section. For those that know this sub-area, are there elk in there routinely? Any tips are greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the offer. I've been busy and didn't see this until now. He's near 44th/Thomas. I guess he called Ben Avery and they told him they would help for a $15 charge but they kind of mucked it up when he went out there. First round was 2" left of center and they spent another 13 or so rounds trying to dial in and ended up 1" right of center and telling him they needed to close for the day and to come back. Good thing ammo and gas are cheap. 🙄

Hey I saw this post on this from 2020 and was wondering if you knew the dates for 2022. My dad is 78 and has a CHAMP elk hunt later in October and might need assistance in dialing in his rifle. I'm working out of town right up until we leave for camp. Thanks for any info you can share.

Good writeup and thanks for sharing. At least you had a good time being in elk every day - opposite of my hunt in 11M, where it was hot and they were extremely quiet and we saw very few animals. You're doing the right things (except the taking off and leaving behind of your pack) and it will pay off for you at some point. Been a while since I hunted 6A. I'm hoping they're still active and calling in the 3rd week of October. I'm helping my dad on his CHAMP hunt but only have the first 2 days to get it done before coming back to start a new job. He is moving really slowly these days. Probably his last elk hunt.

Yota Pros in Tempe just worked on our '97 4Runner (not the transmission though) and we're very happy with the quality of work and they seem like honest guys. 480-699-2880

Solid bow. All of Hoyt's research & development without the hefty price tag of their top of the line bows. I have the model before that (Turbohawk - same but with no string stopper) and it's a shooter. Killed my first archery bull with it in 2012 and it's my backup bow these days. Best of luck with the sale.

Is there a "hide" function on this board so I can make sure my wife doesn't see these pics? 😉 Our GSP is 15 1/2 and it's just a matter of time before he goes to the Great Quail Grounds beyond. My wife is putting the pressure on for a new pup before he's gone. Great looking pups.

$20 For sale is a brand new Tri-Tronics Tracer e-collar light (Red). I paid around $50 for it but never got around to using it. I'm in the East Valley (West Chandler); will consider shipping but buyer pays PayPal & shipping fees. First photo is from the manufacturer, second is actual item. Best way to reach me is via text 602-77oh-013five

SOLD

I'm interested in the 3200 bag but not 100% sure it will fit me. You going to be around later this afternoon/evening? I'm also in Chandler.

Yep. Me as well. My GSP is going to be 17 in 2 months and even though I screwed up by not having enough time to dedicate to his training, he's been a great addition of the family and by far the best dog I've owned.

I recognize that Ranger! I'm one of teh guys who keeps coming up there filming for TNC and asking you if you need help controlling rogue elk coming onto your property.

Good bow at a hard to beat price. I use the predecessor to the Powermax (the Turbohawk) as my backup after using it as my primary bow for several years and killing my first archery bull with it. All of Hoyt's R&D without all the cost. Good luck on the sale!

I was fortunate to draw early archery elk tags for both states and I need to get my hands on good maps of those units in the next couple weeks. If I can't find them used, I'll get them new but figured I'd give this a shot first.

Wish I had a pup to train and the time to train one. My GSP will be 17 this Fall. None of my business (of course that won't stop me from asking) but what did you do with your pup?

Thanks, I'll check it out but I also like to have a hard copy. I guess I'm old school.

Does the MR bag have the guide light frame? Do you have any pics to post? tia

Good idea for a thread! Not a bad idea to keep it going all year long, IMO. Unfotunately, that Black Ovis discount didn't work for me. Must only be valid on certain items.

Might be interested. I don't suppose you ever get up to the Valley? Got to see if it would fit my '03.

How much use have the calls seen?

Size small (10x42) preferred.

I will take the XL Be The Decoy shirt and one hat. You can send me a PM and we'll figure out payment/delivery.

Would you consider a trade for a MR CrewCab in Foliage plus some cash? That way you get to still have a MR pack and some $$$
