was out on lake mary road last night, hoping to hear some bulls bugle. well, about 3 minutes into it we saw about a 280-300" bull get whacked by a car. after making sure the driver and her teenage son were ok, we went to look for the elk. her car was pretty crunched (acura integra) but we didnt think we would find him. but sure as shootin, there he was, deader than a door nail not 5 yards off the road. we called the AZGFD and went through all the proper steps of getting the head. some guy came a long and wanted the meat so we gutted it and loaded it up in te truck. it is a shame, he was only a young bull but had a decent rack. i think he would have been a biggen, i woulod say he was 3-5 years old as his teeth were not worn down at all. i have pics, and will try to get them on here.
be careful out there!

That is too bad. There are some many Elk that get killed on that stretch of road. Good job on makeing sure the people were not hurt and calling the game and fish. I just wish more people did the same thing.
 
Sad to hear. One has to be careful in elk country. It's not like AZ can't post any more signs! LOL

Casey real sorry to hear stories like this. I own a cabin about 7 miles off of lake mary road(elk park meadows) and we always see elk off that road when we come in late at night. We are heading out tonight for a long weekend, and to allow me another scounting trip to unit 8. I hope the lake mary road drivers are careful, I will be!
