Never knew until a buddy of mine told me about it. He sent me a pic of the bull he killed. I thought he was lying just to spend some time away from his wife. LOLWell over a decade now. 15+ years maybe.
Are there that many elk in AZ that they need to risk that?You have to be big time prepared with a truckload of ice and a few helpers. It’s 6 am right now and it’s 75°. It will be 102 today and I’m in the middle of the otc boundaries. I’ve been watching a few elk, but nothing that’s worth that kind of risk.
These hunts were designed to eliminate elk in non-traditional habitat. AZGFD doesn't want elk here due to private landowner conflicts. Plus it's just not traditional elk country.Are there that many elk in AZ that they need to risk that?
Not really. Depending on who you ask, you will get a lot of answers. The latest one I heard was that they’re going to be constructing a lot of wind turbines and solar operations in unit 4B and it would help if the elk were gone. Parts of 3A, across the road from 4B have the same thing going on. The deer and antelope out there get more respect than that because that would never happen to them. Another excuse is that the land they’re on is “not traditionally Elk habitat “. That’s a good one since no land in modern AZ is traditional Elk habitat. All the elk we have were introduced by the Winslow, AZ BPOE many years ago when they were brought over in train cars. Land owners near the Little Colorado River have complained about the elk a lot over the years and that has a little impact.Are there that many elk in AZ that they need to risk that?
