Well i just got back, took the oldest grandson with me for some fishin and shootin and a little elk watching. Great Times!!!!!!


Any way.... WOW some of the big boys are looking real promising. What a year to draw a Bull Tag!

I really believe the moisture has had a toll on the bulls this year, there is green everywhere. Stay tuned to the show all summer and watch them grow


You tell me what ya think, And remember this is only MAY!!!!!!!!! 2.5 months to go !


The pics this weekend turned out better than I thought, Early morning pics are tough


enjoy the Pics.... Me and Alex (Grandson) had a blast taking them.

Any one else have photos from another state?

LAST EDITED ON Jun-04-15 AT 10:52AM (MST)[p]Been seeing some dandies around our area of SW NM, and across the border.
If we get rain this month,like they say we're going to,it will be awesome.
It rained last 2 months a bit and it never does....

June is usually our driest month here in NM. The 4th of July is usual start of monsoon here.

And the elk look bigger and healthier than I have ever seen at this time of year,same with antelope.IMHO

Yeah man,I drew a MZ MB and muley locally!!
 
Nice!

I like how you did the order with progressively getting bigger. It made every picture a thrill. Thanks
 
Well it is mid June and 2 more months of antler growth to go. Still looking to be a stellar year. Word up north alot of elk are being hit on the highways by truckers, The digital signs on the highways are saying watch for Elk are everywhere.



It was a soso weekend, seem all the water and feed are making it harder for me to pattern the elk this year.

But I did seem to get a few pics, Even saw a boxing match while I was up north, a first for me. Ever seen a 9 foot boxer with antlers, an amazing sight !.

Fishing was awesome, caught a 2.5 lb trout and was it pink and delicious. Took the grandkids and 2 of the boys fishing and shooting and we had a BLAST. Nothing like spending time with the Boys, 3 generations enjoying the outdoors.



Well here we go, kinda pic heavy, but I got some decent pics





Enjoy the pics............ I did taking them

Those are some great elk photos! I look forward to seeing those bulls progress throughout the summer. Keep them coming.

Great photos, and thanks!!

Glad to know they are doing well, something you can't predict during application period.

As the proud owner of a late rifle tag, I'm excited.
 
Great pics, Sept. can't get here soon enough. Very excited to have drawn a tag after 15 years. Looks like I picked a great year to draw one. Talked w/ outfitter this week for my multi unit 17-20 permit and he was saying this should be a epic year for antler growth.
 
Hello johnnyh!
Thank you a bunch for posting up these pics. If these don't start a fire in the belly, you shouldn't be on this site!
Now, come clean! Tell all these poor guys from far away states the truth! Go on, tell em!!!!! No? Ok, I will!
There are no record class elk in the state of Arizona!
The AZGF is just scamming you guys for tag money. I know some of you have been building points for many, many years because somebody started a cruel rumor about there being BIG elk here.
It is all a marketing scam!
So, there it is! I'm sorry to be the one to let the cat out of the bag but I just couldn't go on knowing all these guys were being scammed this way!

Somehow, I don't think you fellers believe me!

OK! I'll come clean! I figured once the demand drops off for these little bitty elk(what does Bess call em? Oh ya! Pisscutters!). Maybe I will draw a few more tags myself!
Oh Well! It was worth a shot!

JUST KIDDING EVERYBODY!! It looks to be shaping up to be another fantastic year here in AZ & Good luck to all that drew tags!
(grumble, grumble, curse, curse!!!)
