Devil Diver Down Report post Posted April 18, 2013 I hunted the East Sunset/West Sunset rifle on a leftover a couple years back. You will figure out right away why it's a leftover. I had an any elk tag and when I talked to the AZGFD officer before I scouted, he told me to shoot the first elk (even a calf) I saw IF I saw one at all. I saw one cow while scouting for 2+ days. Saw one cow, a real nice bull and a twisted (old?) antlered bull in one group during the hunt but could not get in good position for a shot - then nada the rest of the time, except a couple flat tires. My dad told me that if I ever got a tag for that area again I was on my own. Quite a few antelope running around there, though. I always thought hunting elk - no matter where it is - is better than not hunting elk. That hunt may have changed my opinion. Of course, I don't have a tag for anything except dove and quail this year... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Devil Diver Down Report post Posted April 19, 2013 Yes. It's not the entire unit - it's small portions. Limited opportunity to be sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Antmo23 Report post Posted April 19, 2013 Meh, I put in for them (and For those 3 leftover 4A bull tags, fingers crossed!). I've been in that area before and have found them. Besides, I'd rather be have a tag, ANY TAG, in my pocket, it's the only antidote for my addiction. Me helping my friends with their tags just worsens my condition, lol.
