What an amazing year chasing elk. We moved to Arizona in July of 2014 and I was pretty bummed about leaving my familiar Utah stomping grounds. I decided right off that I would be hunting Utah as a non resident this year and purchased an OTC any bull archery tag. I had no idea what I was doing...

My son drew the youth Javelina tag this year. Unfortunately with my work and his football schedule we have not been able to scout like we should have. This is our first year in Arizona so if anyone out there would care to point us in the right direction I would greatly appreciate the help.

LAST EDITED ON Jun-08-15 AT 05:52PM (MST)[p]Took the kids 11 & 7 out for a little early morning archery practice. Very proud of my little girl she is shooting very well for her first time out. My son is driven to be at 45 pounds before hunting season.

First year in Arizona and I was super excited to learn that I had drawn a Muzzy elk tag! Then I found out I should have paid more attention to the hunts that I applied for! I drew 3B 27 Nov - 3 Dec. The only problem is I will be in WI spending Thanksgiving with my family! Then I found out AZ...

I was able to buy my son (11) and I left over tags for the upcoming Javelina hunt. We moved to Avondale in July from Utah and I am still trying to learn the areas. We have been up to the unit a couple of times and have yet to see a Javelina. I have no idea if we are just looking in the wrong...

We are new to AZ, and have settled in Avondale. I know there are lots of over the counter archery deer tags available . I am a bit overwhelmed by all of the units that I have to chose from. Not knowing any of the areas I feel like I would be better off blindfolding myself and throwing a dart...

Just found out that we may be moving from Salt Lake to Phoenix. Of course one of my biggest concerns is what will my son and I have for hunting opportunities? I have been living in Utah since 2000 and have things pretty well figured out here. Utah is far from perfect on the way they run there...

My father (68) from Vermont has been coming to Utah for the past 10 years to hunt elk with me. He shot a nice bull 8 years ago and decided that he could eat the horns. Since then he has been coming out to do the late season cow elk hunt with me. We have been doing the East Canyon unit as it...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-24-11 AT 05:54PM (MST)[p]I have unbelievably bad crud ring going on with my CVA Apex. It is so bad I can not seat a second charge the same depth as the first. I have read about the .25 acp breech plug conversion but I do not have a Pro Hunter. Then I found this VariFlame...

I know it is only a p i s s cutter but this will be one of my most cherished elk hunts ever! Why? Because I got to share the entire experience with my 8 year old son. I can't begin to tell you all how proud I am of the little man! He has put more miles on his little boots than most grown men...

Not to copy 3blades post but it did get me to thinking. I have been taking my elk and deer to Clay Myers for years and like the fact they shrink wrap their cuts. BUT the past two years in a row I am positive I have not gotten just my elk back. I say this because I will take two packages of...

LAST EDITED ON Jun-04-11 AT 10:50PM (MST)[p]Finally got my bull back and man did my taxidermist do a great job! The bull is just the reminder of a GREAT GREAT hunt with even better friends!

For the first time since I moved to Utah I need the assistance of a good gun smith.... I'm looking to put a youth stock on my Ruger M77 for my son and need some one to glass bed the action and float the barrel. Thanks

So, I have been reading numerous threads in the Muzzy section and the over all opinion has been that a 250 grain bullet is too small for elk sized game. Here is my attempt to dispel that myth! The Barnes 250 grain Spit-Fire TMZ is more than enough bullet to get the job done. I took the...

Posted this in the ELK section as well. 10 years ago I moved to Utah, from Germany, just so I could hunt elk. After a lot of "UNSUCCESFUL" letters I finally drew the limited entry Manti La Sal Muzzle loader tag. Since that day I had many sleepless nights dreaming about this hunt. Without...

I have been an observer of MM for some time and just decided to join. When I decided to end my military service 10 years ago while stationed in Germany I was offered jobs both back east, near where I was born, and here in Utah. After little thought I decided I wanted to move to Utah so I could...
