    Going into AZ draw with 15 points, any suggestions ?

    If zone 8 was at 80% last year at 14 points, and this year I placed 8 as my #1 choice hopefully if it is still somewhere near 80% chance my odds sound pretty decent to draw 8 this year. I figured I would not stand a chance of drawing 27 at 14 points. My strategy is to try to draw asap as I am...

    Going into AZ draw with 15 points, any suggestions ?

    Well, we have decided to split this into 2 AZ hunts, my buddy going in with 15 points really wants to hunt 27, myself pushing 63 years old and sitting on 14 points wants to hunt while Im still able. I am going to be satisfied if I draw an early archery hunt in hunt area 8 so that was my 1st...

    Going into AZ draw with 15 points, any suggestions ?

    Only 24 tags sounds better, still the bulls that are left would likely be on alert. I will try to keep an open mind on that though. I now wish I had put in some scouting time there

    Going into AZ draw with 15 points, any suggestions ?

    We have actually considered this, problem is I will be nearly 63 in Sep 2023 with an assortment of health issues, I’m probably not going to be able to keep climbing those mountains safely much longer. I can’t be sure there will even be a next year of elk hunting for me so if I want to get to...

    Going into AZ draw with 15 points, any suggestions ?

    5A sounds like a good unit, I wish I had scouted it but looking back at my notes I don’t see that we did. Seems odd that the rifle hunt would be before the archery and I don’t think it could be helpful to archery hunters having it that way. I appreciate the advice but it is probably smart for me...

    Going into AZ draw with 15 points, any suggestions ?

    A buddy and I will be applying with a 15 point average this year to AZ for archery elk hunting. We spent 10 days scouting a handful of zones several years ago during elk season to see where the most pressure was, what the terrain is like in each of our selected areas, etc, in general we just...

    InReach or Zoleo?

    This answers the question I had. My buddy has the Garmin mini, I was thinking of getting a Zoleo for comparison and price reasons but was concerned about being able to communicate with each other while hunting. Do both parties have to have both apps to be able to communicate using these two...

    Looking for OTC archery elk hunt opportunity for 2022

    I mostly don’t want to haul one out on my back anymore. At least not the entire way. Been there and done that a few times. I don’t want my hand held either. I want to call them in and kill them on my own. Plus Im cheap. Lol.

    Looking for OTC archery elk hunt opportunity for 2022

    I see there are lots of folks in the same boat as I was. I was able to assemble a group and book with an outfitter for a drop camp style hunt. My group is filled up now but there are several guys on this thread still looking, maybe try reaching out as I did or contact some of these guys to see...

    Don’t Procrastinate or waste opportunities to hunt

    I hear that. On a 10 day backpack elk hunting trip in Co one year, eating trail mix and freeze dried meals, hiking 5-10 miles a day I lost 12 pounds. Since then I try to up my caloric intake. My biggest issue is staying hydrated. I’m not a big water drinker and I tend to try to conserve water ...

    Don’t Procrastinate or waste opportunities to hunt

    Hopefully we will tag something, the outfitter will pack it out on horseback this time, that is part of the reason I elected to go this route. I prefer to not have to hump one out on my back if I can avoid it.
