I wouldn't worry about camp as much but I'd have cams nearby watching traffic near your truck. Especially if you find a big one. I would just be overly cautious. Not trying crap in your Cheerios but if you find a real big buck you never know what someone might do to impede your success.

Can you elaborate on this, I am honestly curious. People out there slashing tires these days?

Real easy: Keep your mouth shut about what you are seeing.....Bitch about how little you are seeing and how frustrated you are.

I have seen everybit of the stuff mentioned above, albeit not on the strip, other places. I even had the single bull tule elk tag in the unit (CA)and discussed my plans with a couple guys with cow tags who appeared to be cool at the time. They did everything they could to screw my hunt, including driving their truck through the pasture I was hunting at night honking their horns and speeding around where the elk had been in the evenings prior to the hunt. (I watched this from 1/2 mile away on a hill while glassing).....people get crazy with this stuff.

 

Best of luck! Enjoy!

I have heard stories of people believing that their flats were not just flats on the kaibab and strip. Maybe they are just stories but when I finally draw my archery tag up there I will have cams near my truck. Also heard of antis leaving nails on roads.

That happened this year on the raffle elk tag.

I thought everyone answered hadn't seen a thing and hunting sucks when folks are obviously prying for info. And if they keep at it, I'll start outright lying.

I mean, I don’t go out looking for the smallest buck I can find. I think shooting a big buck is pretty cool.  But what I consider a “big buck” would probably be passed up by trophy hunters also so 🤷🏻‍♂️

Maybe over your head. Im not calling you a nobody. I just don’t know who you are. If that makes sense.

That’s kind of my take. I am more impressed by the stuff that empty’s out of my robot vacuum cleaner tray than a quote unquote “trophy animal” pic with a gigantic guide/outfitter watermark.

No, it doesn’t make sense. I’ve never met you in my life. Idk why you said nobody cares. Plenty do.
