Good/interesting problem to have.
As some of you know I drew a cool tag in AZ. Shooters choice, any weapon, in the peak of the rut, big bulls, low tag holder hunt. The kind of tag that only comes along in a blue moon. The issue is the rules, which there are plenty. Which, are perfectly navigable for me with my background... -
Best Crossbow for elk?
There is a portion of me that is intrigued by this. I have a AZ Champ permit that allows me to use one. I have never exercised that permit but this year there is a place that kind of equipment could be utilized. A portion of the unit is Archery only. There is a significant trophy benefit to... -
Arizona Elk Society Jr elk camp
Has anyone participated in this? I applied my kids for it in the draw and my son drew. It looks like a fun time for a first elk hunt. Hopefully, they can help make it a successful experience for him. It’s the Oct 10-16 5B South and 6A youth cow tag... -
1st time landlords?
As this winter was bitterly cold for me, I have been daydreaming of Arizona. All the hunting one could want and great year round weather in the foothills. Perfect for when the kids move out and the wife and I can start enjoying us again. Friend of mine suggested shopping for a place now...- Addicting

Wortex Triump HD 10x42 Binoculars
Lifetime warranty, just can’t get them to focus for my old eyes. Seems like I may need something stronger. No scratches, glass is so clear, it’s like it isn’t even there. 1500 or trade for Swaro EL. -
Inedible
Shot this rutty mule deer this year. I have heard stories of stinky inedible mule deer but never experienced it. My family actually prefers mule deer over Alfalfa fed whitetails. Have eaten a fat region G and Arizona pine country one with great success. This rutted CO prairie one... -

Fun day!
I almost quit today and may still seek other employment when I get back from Colorado. Small companies who don’t take care of employees and chastise without even asking you what happened are toxic. You know because there are those handfuls of people who are not happy until everyone around...- Addicting

Safe queen
I have a 300 PRC that is a custom build on a 700 platform. It is an amazingly accurate long range bomber. If I had to shoot across canyons I would absolutely use it. I’ve killed several elk with it and it’s just deadly. Problem is I don’t shoot across canyons. Also not particularly... -
Ditching GoHunt
I’ve been a loyal customer for several years and this year I think I’m done. While the draw data has been great the maps are driving me away. This year my buddy ran OnX and I used GoHunt. There were several issues on our hunt which led to a fearful visit from the Game Warden. His map...- Addicting

Ten Sleep WY
Just spent a few days exploring the public south of Ten Sleep and Worland, WY. Was really surprised at the lack of antelope. We only saw 30-50 antelope on the public in probably 8 hours of cruising gravel. A couple nice bucks but not much to brag about. Lots of water and feed but most... -
Missing my boat
Raising a 10 and 12 year old who both like to fish has me missing my boat. I grew up with a 10’ Jon boat and we would throw it in the back of the truck and hit as many small lakes as we could row. Caught a ton of fish and have fond memories. As an adult I bought a 12’ semi v and fished all...- Addicting

Got blown today!
Headed to fish in Key West next week. We are driving down and taking our big cooler. It’s one of those trips that you never know if you need it or not. Guide says fishing was slow this week, hopefully picks back up for next. If we hit gold, what is the best method for hauling this home...- Addicting
