Has anyone experienced this hunt before? My dad was super lucky and drew the tag. I know its a great unit and a once in a lifetime permit so all proper preparations will be made. I was lucky as well, drew a unit 1 archery bull tag so lots of miles going on the truck this summer. I will have...

Thank you guys for the responses! I really hope to draw, will be my first time hunting big game outside of AZ. I will give it max effort and plan to hunt the entire season. I believe the Flatline Maps are about the best you can buy, I have several for AZ units and they're fantastic. Not sure if...

Just wondering what can be expected if I'm lucky enough to draw the Rifle MD tag on 21-29 Oct in units 17B/C? I'm a nonresident coming from AZ if I draw, so limited knowledge on the area but will be able to make a scout trip prior. Any insight or past experience would be appreciated. Thanks in...

No problem- PM sent

Hey Turk- that's the very hunt I applied for this yr but no luck with 8pts even as a resident. How many did you have? Just curious. Anyhow, I spend a lot of time up in that unit. Over the last few years ive noticed a lot of lopes hanging out in the wooded "transition" areas. I actually drew back...

So it looks like no dice for AZ elk for me this year. Is it too late to apply for deer hunts in Utah?

No problem- hope it helped! How'd the hunt go??

Kelco- not sure how to PM...

One of my best friends has had that hunt several times and they always come back with tags filled. They see a lot of elk but hard to find the big boys that time of year. On that note- you will survive in a trailer (that's what by buddy does) but its going to be really cold and the weather is...

I discovered I drew my second choice, archery Unit 1 early Bull!! Ive never hunted the unit but I know its going to be a great hunt. Im a resident so I will be doing plenty of scouting over the summer and will be doing this DIY. Im extremely excited and was wondering whos had any experience in...
