Saaweeet!

That's great stuff! Cool pics of great animals.

Saaweeeet! Congrats to you guys! Great stuff!

Good stuff! Well done for sticking with it and seeing it through.

How come the Manti is the red headed step child when it comes to management? No change to deer tags when the population has drastically been decreasing for years and an astronomical amount of elk tags with an even bigger increase this year? Does the DWR even spend an ounce of time in this unit...

NR 3B late muzzy for me

I'm having the same issue with my app not showing up, but I have the confirmation emails. However, my license from last year was good until February 10th, the day after the app deadline. Am I good or do I need to get a new license in order to be eligible in the draw? I swear I've done this...

Is it still going or are we done?

Set your CC to send you a text every time a purchase is made over a certain amount (ie $100). Then you will know for sure right when it hits instead of checking a billion times a day. Also a good way to keep track of your wife's frivolous spending. ;) I'm waiting on a LE elk tag and should...

>Guided or DYI? DIY. I would consider coughing up for a trespass fee if needed, but I have no idea what that costs.

How long am I going to be stuck in no man's land? Do I have any options at all with 7 points for elk? I'm not seeing anything really with the research I've done. I'll hunt with any weapon.

Nice work brother! Awesome bull!

I appreciate the feedback and opinions offered and that some, not all, kept it pretty civil. I can only offer my opinion based on what I have seen and I have spent plenty of years on the Manti. To be called an eco terrorist is not fair, and frankly, just plain stupid. I have a love affair with...

Cool stuff! Thanks for sharing.

I wanted to put this out there to see what people's opinions generally are about the amount of sheep on this unit and if you are seeing overgrazing take place and affecting the habitat holding capacity for deer and elk. I'm sure this unit is not unique to an overabundance of sheep, but it is...

Sounds good, BugleJunky. Thanks and good luck!

Thanks, everybody! I appreciate your help and feedback. I know we've got a challenge ahead of us, but I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully we find success. I'll be sure to share if we do. Thanks again!

Hey everyone, my brother and I have a unique opportunity in Unit 13 this year. I drew a late rifle deer tag (Nov. 9-13) and he drew a late muzzy elk tag (Nov. 16-20). The hunts are back to back, which gives us an opportunity to find and keep an eye on some bulls while we hunt deer the week...

Good call, hunt30. Thanks for the heads-up! I've reached out to a few landowners and got a couple to say "maybe". We'll see. I've marked a few tracks of public land to check out, but I imagine most whitetails are on private in the area. Thanks again!

Sounds good. Thank you!

I've got a whitetail tag good for units 160, 92, and 94 around Lander. Lots of private land surrounding the river bottoms so I'm going to be constantly on OnXmaps. Would anyone be willing to point me to an area I should concentrate on? Or does anyone know a friendly private land owner that...

Right on! Nice Job, Teryn! I hope I can post something after my 2B hunt you've helped me with. Good job man!

I have the late rifle hunt in November in 2B. I've never been there. These horror stories about the mud are definitely making me raise an eyebrow. I'll go prepared. I had hoped to take a trailer, but we'll see. Thanks for the insight, fellers. Best of luck!

Congrats man! I drew the 2B late rifle tag Nov 4-8. I haven't done a rifle deer hunt in years. I don't know anything about the area other than it's weather and migratory dependent. Anyone have any advice? I'll check the threads and see what's out there, but any input is greatly appreciated. Good...

I'm kind of in the same boat with 13 points. If it were me, I'd probably hold out for the early hunt. Your chances go up significantly at 15 points. However, if you have had success consistently finding elk and decent bulls during the other hunt and feel comfortable with it, by all means go for...

Nice work, man! That's what it's all about right there. Great bull! Give us a little story when you get a minute.

I'm happy for you brother! Your man card is very much intact. I appreciate the help and advice you gave me for my elk hunt this year while you were out knocking down these big bulls. Congrats, buddy! Let's go get 'em again next year.

Congrats, Joe! Good work buddy. I hope it goes just as well for your NM and AZ hunts.

Anybody seeing any bulls worthwhile in 15? I was there a few weeks ago and saw some smaller bulls, but nothing to get your heart pumping. I know it was pre-rut, but I'm interested to see what people have been seeing in there. I have a muzzleloader tag in late October. Thanks!

Right on! That's awesome stuff. Congratulations! I arrowed my first buck this year on my first archery hunt and now I'm hooked. That's an outstanding buck and being able to share it with your son makes it perfect. Great job!

I'm sorry to hear that, mailman. I hope that's not the case for my hunt. BUGLEnmIN, what has been your experience? Any others who could add their thoughts would be appreciated as well. My dates are Oct. 22-26.

I drew a muzzy tag in unit 15 for late October. Just curious what the elk activity is like in the Gila around that time frame, post rut. Can I still expect to hear a bugle or two? Will they still respond to a cow call here and there? What's the weather typically like around this time? Are the...

LAST EDITED ON Aug-30-16 AT 08:28AM (MST)[p]Though I've been hunting all my life and archery hunting many times with others, I've never been the one behind the bow. This year I decided to to do it. With the help of some friends, I bought a bow, learned to shoot, and then headed to the hills to...

Where did you find it? My brother arrowed a nice bull that looked just like that on the Manti a couple years ago. We tracked it for days, but never found it. Just curious. PM me if you feel more comfortable and let me know if you got it or the DWR. Thanks!

Yeah, it's also been my understanding that deer numbers in 16 have gone down significantly. I agree that a guide might be your best chance at actually getting on one. Like mozey, I'm not able to recommend anyone, but maybe someone else could see this post and reply with some help or further...

Abiggerfish2fry, I drew a late muzzy hunt in unit 15 as well. I've never been there. If you or anyone in this string is willing to share any tips or advice, I'd be very appreciative. I plan on doing the work and scouting, studying maps, and all that, but it's a very large area. Can anyone...
