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?

BC777 is spot on- great advise! I had the unit 1 archery bull hunt last year and it was the best elk hunt I've ever been on. 3c is a dandy too- cant go wrong with either. Just my 2 cents!

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

Took til day 10 to seal the deal. Never hunted the unit before I was told this year was really tough. We were in elk EVERY day and for the most part they were bugling pretty good early until 830am or so. We hunted 3 different areas in the unit throughout the hunt and each was a little different...

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...

Question for you pro's. How would a Non- Resident with zero points affect our odds if he was on our application? I have 11 BP's (elk) and my dad has 6 BP's (elk). My cousin lives in Wisconsin and would love to Elk hunt in Az. We are all experienced archery hunters so would apply for a early...

I pig hunted 22 a couple yrs ago around the Gisela area (turn off just before Rye while heading north). We ended up chasing deer most the time. We actually located quite a few deer and a few decent bucks. We followed the very windy road to Gisela and when the road appexed the mountain range we...

Good morning. I will be heading up for a 4 day scouting trip in 17B this weekend. I have never hunted this unit but have heard some positive things in the past about it. Before i head up i was curious about any possible starting points, general areas to focus on or any advice i should keep in...

Any recomendations on who would be a good landowner to purchase a tag from? Im not a "trophy" only hunter, even though everyone wants one. Just being able to get into an area with decent deer numbers and seeing some bucks would be fantastic!! Would also consider an outfitter if the price was...

Congrats on drawing the tag. Im a res with 10pts and didnt draw that hunt- was very disappointed. I've hunted 5bn & 5bs for years. You all should have a great time as the units are combined this year- huge area! 5bs holds more elksters but the north has some toads.

Good morning gents. After being skunked for my 11th year for a AZ elk tag I've decided to try my luck in CO for Mule Deer. In your opinon, what units in CO offer OTC tags that have decent success rates? Ive visited CO several times and absoultely love the state and have dreamed of hunting it...

Did anyone on here draw the early bull 5b muzzle loader hunt? Curious as to many points you had? NR or Res?

How many bonus points did he have? I had 10(resident) and didnt draw... I put in for those same hunts. Just curious. thanks

I called Game and Fish yesterday (24th) and the gal said the draw is not over, CC's will continue to be hit through out the week and official results will be posted early next week. For all thats worth I'm going to keep the faith... Good luck everyone!

I was pondering about putting in for the unit 29 mule deer hunt this year. I have been backpacking in Zion several times and that part of utah seems to be great habitat (outside the park). I've never applied for Utah so I have no points. Would I have a decent chance at drawing a general rifle...

Just looking for a little help/insight or thoughts on this years elk draw before I take the plunge. With years of waiting and 10 resident BP's I'm wondering what would be my best chance at a early bull rifle/muzz hunt? I've hunted archery for years and love it, but I've decided to hold out for...
