All,
I need some help! Drew a great archery elk tag in the Gila, New Mexico... wilderness area. Pretty much foot and horse only into this area. Been looking at an area 12-18 miles in. Hunt is Sept. 1-14th. Most likely headed down a day or two before and hunting until I kill. The stars aligned...
My boy is finally ready to hunt elk and I've heard from a few people that New Mexico would be a great place for a youth only hunt. I have never hunted in the state and have no idea what would be a good area to hunt.
He can do archery, muzzy, or rifle.
Not super concerned with sizes-...
I knew that this post would generate some back and forth and some haters and some that understand. Honestly, I don't give a damn what people think or what they say. Bottom line is there's an animal that was hit that we'd like to recover. That's the only reason I posted. It's all out of...
LAST EDITED ON Sep-23-11 AT 10:36AM (MST)[p]Helping a friend out that isn't online/on this site. He hit an awesome bull in the Manti unit on the archery hunt in a canyon east of skyline drive above Spring City. I'll PM more details if you have any information. This bull was being chased by...
Hey quick question out to anyone that's been out in the last week or so- I've wanted to take my kids up to see and mostly hear some elk this year but scheduling hasn't allowed. This weekend we have some time, but I'm concerned that we're too late in the year...
Are they still bugling? Like up...
Great buck! Thanks for sharing the story. I had a rifle tag down there several years ago and it was one of my favorite hunts ever.

Anyone else familiar with this unit at all? This will be my first elk hunt ever and my 2nd year archery hunting... I know the odds are stacked against me and would appreciate any tips or advice from all you experts. PM me!

Let me clarify one thing as well- These are NOT temporary tree stands. They are build out of plywood, joists, and are pretty good sized. The one is big enough to easily lay down on and could hold 4-5 guys comfortably. Nothing temporary about either stand.
I think I'm going to post a note...
As I've been out scouting I came across an area about two miles from the nearest road that someone spent a considerable amount of time building two tree stands. It looks like they have been there for at least a couple of years.
The area is really good- water, food, and what seems to be a major...

So here I find myself at the end of 3 years of my first time as a dedicated hunter and I have yet to harvest a buck. I just haven't had any breaks at all. Not for lack of trying- I've spent summers scouting, hunted all three seasons...and nothing. My hunting buddies have even started calling...
