Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted July 31, 2014 Both of these bulls were found and harvested on public land in AZ...by some of A3 Trophy Hunt's premier guides... there were no "bounties" paid, it was an "in house" operation. The guys at A3 work hard year around and spend more time a field than any other guys I have ever been around, they make me feel like a "weekend warrior"... The guys that were with Mike when he hunted these bulls are dedicated like you Read About... I understand that these bulls were hard to find and even harder to get out. These bulls were not standing in some park or at some trick tank waiting to be shot. I have hunted with Mike myself and he will go anywhere you take him and from what I hear about last week's hunt... he Earned these two amazing bulls. Thanks to all for reading and commenting and for keeping it clean... We all appreciate it! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bonecollector777 Report post Posted August 1, 2014 Yeah,.... What unit? Does the reservation allow the auction tag buyers on their land? No the reservation isn't included for the tag. Judging by pics its gotta be 27 or 1. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I know you have a good reason so educate me 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twigsnapper Report post Posted August 2, 2014 It would take over 4,000 resident elk tags to generate the same revenue that Mike spent on these two tags. Thanks Mike for investing in wildlife in AZ. We all understand that money could have been spent elsewhere. Great Bulls!!!!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
