AZ_XL7 Report post Posted September 12, 2011 Anybody in 1 or 27 have any reports? Went to Big Lake and heard a few isolated bugles but didnt see one single elk on the road between the lake and Alpine. Could of been my timing though as it was in the middle of the day everytime when I was going through. Alot more green up there than I thought but still sucks to see it that way. Maybe in 10(more like 20) or more years when I get drawn again it will be better . Good luck to everyone. they are there. we were into them everyday while i was there. Middle of the day they were silent, mornings and evenings they are only giving you maybe 30 min to hunt them. Comming to the meadows way late. buddie is still up there. saw a nice 5x5 comming down the 116 road saturday. vincefmx, i believe we saw that bull thursday. Congrats nice bull Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vincefmx Report post Posted September 12, 2011 AZXL, Yeah i saw him Thursday evening as well and figured i'd pass on him. Not 20 min. later we saw the nontypical i was talking about. I Have a buddy with the same tag and that area has been minimal in activity the past few days...all small bulls showing themselves in there, nothing big. Good luck up there...it should fire up in the next few days! Nice NM bull, that thing has good mass through his whole rack. Thanks everyone for the compliments.

Coues&Bass Report post Posted September 12, 2011 Ya someone had a game camera on Joe tank off the 139 road. My buddy jumped in front of it for a pic. Thought we might get lucky and someone would post his pic on this site but have not seen it yet. Thanks for the info and good luck to your friends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lines73 Report post Posted September 14, 2011 I shot this bull in Unit 1 on Sunday evening and I was not happy that I gut shot him. I backed off and let him sit all night and went back Monday morning and started tracking him and was very surprised to find him about 150 yards away! I used a Vortex 100 grain with a 2 1/2" cut and it really did it's job on him, I was very impressed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lines73 Report post Posted September 14, 2011 Were we hunted the burn wasn't that bad, it just burned low so most of the trees were still alive. I really do not think it affected anything and as you can see from the pic it was very green! They were not coming into calls very good yet, but I still had a great hunt.
