TREESTANDMAN Report post Posted October 3, 2009 Scotty, Nice job on a great write up and a great bull. Us bowhunters also had a tougher hunt than most years up there. I agree that it is the experience and comradery that really makes the hunt. I personally think the peak of the rut was postponed a little bit this year for one reason or the other. Next year should have more really big bulls than average if we get good rain as a lot of people did not fill their tags this year. Thanks again for the great write up. I looked for you up there but I guess I should have asked you what color your truck was. Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sam Report post Posted October 27, 2009 Great elk, story and trip. Congrats. And no, it is not the monster elk that we all see while scouting and hope we find them again during the hunt. But it is sure a keeper and one that anyone would be proud to harvest! Way to go and with a muzzleloader. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kilimanjaro Report post Posted October 27, 2009 Thanks again guys!! It was a great hunt for sure. Can't wait to draw another AZ elk tag! As for the powder burns, let's just say that when I pulled the trigger, the bull was instantly elgulfed in smoke!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
