I loved up there a couple years and never actually got out and hunted up there but me and the wife did quite a bit of hiking and back packing. I drew 2 NM tags while I was living there (for elk) so I never had the urge to go and shoot a dink since I already had meat in the freezer. I've seen...

Had a buddy that flew that unit and said he saw more elk in 15 then any other unit.

16E is no joke I'm pretty sure I was apart of that 4-5 truck fiasco. I drew first archery in E this year I've started prepping already. Truck now has a winch and 2 90 feet straps haha. Looking forward to the hunt and hopefully to whack a giant.

I'm hoping its a rumor but we shall see in the morning

Supposedly they re-drew.... Reason being because they didn't factor in 1st-2nd-3rd choice into the draw. The lowest hunt code was your 1st choice, and so on..... Which makes sense because I would have drawn a 16A first hunt second choice. As I was super suprised to have "drawn" a second choice...

To me it sounds like a bunch of you guys are jealous because you can't shoot 1000 yards.... Congrats to the guy for 2 bad ass shots I've been working in long range and I personally would not be comfortable at 1,000.... Yet!!!! I'm a archery hunter at heart and that's all I will probably ever put...

I'd be on the waiting list for San Carlos or white mountain res if money wasn't an issue. But that's just me

LAST EDITED ON Sep-30-14 AT 05:50PM (MST)[p]If the gila goes to a 2 season area it'll ruin the unit and cost the state lots of money in revenue. Outfitters wouldn't be able to have as many hunts which limits the tax revenue from nonresidents and for the guides pay, and income the outfitters...

Everybody has their opinion on broadheads. I've killed every animal I've hit with the rage 2 blade titaniums. But then again shot placement is huge. My deer have gone between 10 yards and 50 yards after the shot this bull went further then any I have shot before but but was in a open burn and he...

Appreciate it. The old man never put in for the gila and when we drew he was pretty excited because he was there when I shot my 370 bull in 2012 and after turning down 6x6 after 6x6?he realized why I'm so in love with the place

Thanks everybody I would give anything if we had the last 3 days! But there's always next year

Second hunt was a good one! The old man and I were in bulls every day from sun up to sun down. We had to leave 3 days early due to a death in the family but on the last day my old man passed on 8 different bull ranging from 280"-320" I spent my time and did my homework and we had some bulls...

>Anyone been in the area? >Looks like it'll be a >rough couple days with the >rain moving in. Hoping >the roads hold together. Roads were gettin pretty tore up when we pulled out last night. Bulls were screaming all day yesterday though.

I know of some 46 tags for 500 bucks on a good ranch but archery only

Hunting public land and passing either of those bulls is a mistake that first bull whoever says that bull is just 340 never has shot a 360+ bull. That bull is 360 all day. That second bull I won't put a number in because I can't see his bottoms but if they match his back end let your brother...
