AZ Bull Elk Unit 1

Sorry to hear your hunt was screwed up by that guy. If that's what he was doing he deserves to pay a fat fine.

 

But it's the first I've heard of anyone dressed in camo using cow calls and bugles to try to scare elk away. Is there any chance the guy could have been trying to push that herd to a hunter on the reservation side of the line?

 

Last year, a friend and I were near Sunrise Lake, about a half mile inside the reservation boundary, watching a good bull chase a couple of dinks away from his cows, when a pickup truck drove up. The Apache tribal member who was driving the truck politely demanded that we leave (we were parked on the side of a paved road, mind you).

 

"We're trying to hold a hunt here," he said.

 

We left, of course, but I sure wanted to see if the guy who was paying $17,000 for his hunt bothered to get out of the truck to shoot that bull.
