Good luck on your hunt. When I hunt 27 in 2014, couple unit 1 hunters at my hotel in Alpine. We compared notes each night and they were consistently in screaming bulls. One of the guys hit a 370 on the first day but never recovered. I scouted a week before my 27 hunt started. Got lucky and...

Nice bull ! Great job !

No elk draw for me. Had 0 preference points, 9 bonus for a very hard to draw tag

Well done !

Dang sorry i missed this shooter.....

He wanted beautiful snow capped mountains and of course no wind

Congratulations on an incredible buck !

Very nice, congratulations !!

Very nice, congratulations !!!

Great news. I lost my Erblestock pack a few years ago and it had about $500 worth of clothes and gear in it on top of the pack cost. Gone like donkey king .... Hastily stashed it in the back of my truck. Very glad you got it back !!!

Congratulations on a nice buck. I use to archery hunt the Kaibab back in the 90's. Awesome place just wish there was less people everywhere.

Congrats !

Congratulations! Great deer year !!

Super nice bull ! Great job and congratulations !!

Dang, I was interested at first, tang safety Rugers are coveted, no scratches with a Leupold for $600…….. that rig selling for 2x that back this way. Can I pay upon receipt and inspection of gun ?

Great looking buck ! Congratulations!!

We take good care of our outfitter, he does a solid job and gets our gear and elk in and out of the wilderness effectively and we want to use him in future years and want him to want us as clients in the future. It’s more than 10% but we value the relationship and future hunts as much as the...

Interested and would like to see last few years pics and counties too. Thanks !

Hunted this unit once12 years ago. Paid $500 for archery LO-UW. Surprised to see these muzzy hunts selling for $3,500. Brutally steep and tough unit to hunt. Good luck to the buyers !

Thanks for the odds breakdown badlander. Good luck !

I drew in 2018 with no points, put in again this year. When I looked at odds, thought it was better than 15%. Anyhow, guess we will find out in a few more weeks. Good luck !

In 2011 my truck got broken into at motel in Santa Fe. Had some bandit types ride into our camp site deep in 45.....they move on after some attempts at intimidating us. If you stay at a motel, do not leave a damn thing in your rig. Take it all inside with you, leave nothing to chance. Use to...

I have elk hunted this unit four times and there are three things you must have: horses, horses, and horses. The wilderness area is serious back country and it's physically impossible to pack a elk out from where they are regardless of your will power. (Ok I was young and dumb enough at one...

Fantastic buck. Congrats ! "My only regret in life is setting my goals too low"

Very nice! Congrats and well done!! WP "My only regret in life is setting my goals too low"

Well Done, congrats! WP "My only regret in life is setting my goals too low"

Man, I am sorry to hear about this, that sucks really bad. I had this happen in 2012 in Santa Fe prior to my archery elk hunt. It was a inside job from the motel as I was parked directly under a security camera with a lot of lighting. Security camera went on the blink about the time of my...

I have hunted this area several times. Higher can be better unless it snows 14 inches on you like it did us in 2011. The elk moved way down before the storm hit.........I normally archery hunt, but have muzzy hunted elk twice, killing big bulls each time. Used same gun, CVA Kodiak magnum, 150...

Congrats, very nice ram, awesome!!! WillPower "My only regret in life is setting my goals too low"

Yelp, deer and antelope tags now in hand as well. Be here before you know it! WP "My only regret in life is setting my goals too low"

Good stuff on this thread, totally explains how I drew Unit 61 as a NR with only 6 points, actually son had 8, so guess we had 7 averaged NR points. Sure hope its a decent hunt this year. WP "My only regret in life is setting my goals too low"

Not sure on the point creep as my son and I drew a red desert unit with 7 averaged points that had been taking 9 or 10 to draw. 10 was 100% last year if I looked at the data correctly. Was surprised to draw the unit with 7. Unit had 100 tags down from 150 two years ago. "My only regret in...

Well, very surprised that my son and I drew unit 61 antelope with only 7 points combined. Was really shooting on the 2nd choice low end unit since he is a senior at UW and is has a pretty full schedule along with his ROTC duties. Anyhow, its a long season so will give it a good effort. Still...

I second Paul as well. The Pecos is not for the faint of heart, walking in and out of the trail heads will wear you out as mentioned above. If and how much it snows will dictate elk movement. I have been in there when it snowed 14 inches the night before the first day of my hunt, the elk moved...

My experience with Kenetrek is the same as Coloradoboy, they do not hold up very well and wear out fast. Too fast for a boot that expensive. They are very stiff Lima most all boots with a rubber rand. My Asolo hikers have done me well for earl season hunts. My Meindls are good boots too...
