Lucky Lucky Lucky! Early rifle with a total of 1 combined BP?! WoW! Congrats to you guys and thanks for sharing your success!

Thanks again everyone! It was a fine day indeed. That was so great to have Amanda and Paul drive down to the valley from Globe. I don't think there are any other websites that buy you dinner on you birthday... How sweet is THAT!! LoL!

!! MEXICAN SEAFOOD NIGHT !!

I also own and hunt with the Outdoorsmans pack system. I echo Phils' review and would like to add that the long side pockets are perfect for our tripods. Great pack, very well built and is truly adjustable to fit just about anyone.

Thanks a buch ya'll and thanks to all that called me today! Looks like I'll be having a great evening after work.

Will be great to have you back here man.

Pretty good deal on the hunt. The mule deer deal is tough to beat and has a great potential at a monster buck

That is cool. Great that the hunter wanted to preserve it that way.

Big time congrats! Heck of a bull with some great character!

Sorry to hear and my thoughts and prayers are with his family. He seemed to have been a very generous person.

Ron, Great story and series of photos. I'm sure you know that you'll always come back and re-read the thread reliving the hunt. Congratulations!

Nice! Can't wait for the rest of the pics and story!

That's a dream bull right there. In some nasty thick country too. Much congrats guys!

That was awesome.

Super footage and editing Eric! Congrats to Stevi and the whole gang!

Wow. Just wow. This is the best written hunt story I have ever read on the forum. HUGE congratulations and way to get it done. Outstanding.

So are you guys okay with the thread being locked now? The End?

Much congrats on a successful hunt and nice bull!

Phenomenal and well deserved. Congratulations amigo.

Congratulations Casey. Glad you were able to make the best out of this opportunity. Great pics.

Donnie, I strongly urge you to go to the next ADA meeting and voice your opinions. More so, for listening at what the issues are that are affecting our right to hunt as we wish, where we want, and how. There are already people on the commission and in the department that are not on our side. This is a disturbing trend I see happening throughout the Southwest. All I am saying is, be careful what you wish for, it just may happen. In ways and to the extent that you never expected. You seem to have a very strong passion and strong voice with your opinion. The ADA could use some new energy. When you take a step back and look at the big picture, things will look a little different I'm sure. Enough that it will scare you, as it does me. Much Regards

She almost got a really good chance at a big bull this morning! A bull was following some cows and stopped right before he got in her lane. She ranged the cows at 35 yards but the bull never followed. Elk are finally starting to rut a bit harder. More bugles today than on her whole hunt.

Not much to add from what's already been said. She has been fighting a cold while going after the bulls. To say the bugling has been spotty is pretty accurate. Not only from area to area, but day to day. Some areas of the forest have been closed off and they seem to be holding a pretty vocal bunch of elk. She's been up and down mountains and canyons and she passed on a few bulls. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she gets a break. I spoke with TJ this morning and he's heading up to her camp as we speak. Hopefully he brings in a little luck. Go get em guys!

dang straight! Great write up and even better finish! Talk about sealing the deal at the last minute! Big time congratulations! Ya done good.
