bigsky2 Report post Posted August 30, 2017 I'm heading to unit 10 for my dad's archery elk hunt in a few weeks. Has anyone been out in the unit to see how the horns are looking this year? How about neighboring units? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted August 30, 2017 I have seen some bulls from 6A, 7W, and 10 that all looked great. But even on average years, there will be bulls that dwarf others. So it is hard to judge a population by the biggest bulls. But having a tag means you are already ahead of the game! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muleybull Report post Posted August 30, 2017 Seeing some great bulls still in velvet! I think the wetter winter/spring has made an impact, not to mention the monsoon season. Good luck, post us some pics when you guys connect. Www.muleybulloutfitters.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Original born to hunt Report post Posted August 30, 2017 Sorry to hear that I know how it is to wait for a elk tag for a long time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Original born to hunt Report post Posted August 30, 2017 This might grind your gears a little bit but my bro just got his first bow ever a week and a half ago and has never shot a bow before. I took him a month ago to Cabela's he even got measured and looked at a bow there. Instead he walked out with cotton candy and popcorn couldn't believe it.

bigsky2 Report post Posted August 30, 2017 It took my dad 17 points to draw as a nonresident. He had been applying for unit 9 and switched to 10 this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
105Coues Report post Posted August 31, 2017 Luck of the draw! This may be hard to believe but I haven't won the lottery either. Weird??? I have only had one 10 tag even tho its always my first choice but i met several people there that drew the early archery with zero points. Did i mention i love the unit though! Haven't been over there this year but there are always some mouth dropper bulls. Can be hard to hunt but worth it for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then WHY did he put in for an archery elk hunt???!! He will not be proficient with a bow in 3 and a half weeks time! Tell him to stay home so he won't go and wound an animal(s) ! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
