azpackhorse Report post Posted July 27, 2006 Very nice photos Doug, one o'these days I gonna have to crawl out of the 35mm era and purchase something digital. What would be your recomendation for a good field camera? I would want 12x optical zoom cuz I aint good at get'n close. I got a Coues rack sit'n right behind me now that would make yalls jaw drop, I found it when I first moved here from Oregon 20 years ago, left it sitt'n outside for about 10years, didn't really know what I had until a few years ago. Found it in a super hot secret spot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azyoung Report post Posted July 27, 2006 pretty nice bulls, seems the drought had little effect on them. No ribs and nice "backs" for some young bulls. Thanks for the pics! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwoGuns Report post Posted July 30, 2006 cool pics of those bulls, you got my blood flowing as my dad and i drew a bull and cow tag in 11m this year. 2nd bull tag in 2 years. cant wait for oct. 6th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
love2hunt Report post Posted July 30, 2006 These boys were behind the house this morning. 13 total. I figure those with a bull elk tag would enjoy the velvet. And to think I was excited as I left for work this morning @ 5:30. Why because the neighbors cat herd (house cats) was being reduced in #'s by a lone coyote. Wish I'd had a camera she posed for me and although nervous wasn't in a hurry to leave. I live in a rural setting in south gilbert, rapidly becoming urbinized. Seeing a herd of bull elk is just awesome. Is this norm or a fluke? NICE PICS!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted July 30, 2006 Love2hunt, Those bulls are around the Kachina Village/Forest Highlands area for most of the summer-till the rut starts. Seeing them is fairly common if one gets around to look. RR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
couesdog Report post Posted July 31, 2006 Doug, A big bull got hit Friday night on I-17 between Kachina and the airport. It looks like the 6x6 in your third photo down. I heard it was 48 inches wide with 53 inch main beams. What a shame! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted October 11, 2006 I believe the 5-point in the bottom and second photo was taken by a Flagstaff archer in 6A West. Saw his European mount at the TR Taxidermy. RR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RR Doug, if the bull that I had on my trail camera and that 5 pt are the same bull, he is still alive. My dad just saw him this morning (Wednesday), and he was bedded down right where he was under my camera. Anyway, dont know for sure if he is the same bull or not, but sure looks similar with same single eyeguards and all. Unfortunately, he is still alive this afternoon. But maybe not by tonight.
