So far, the Monsoon has started late and been very weak. Parts of Eastern Arizona (Payson & the White Mtns) have received some rain but central, western & northern Arizona have not received very much. I watch this stuff everyday, x4-10 a day and it is now forcasted to be worse. Check out this link:

I have an early archery bull elk tag, in fact it is a great tag but I believe, I, along with other archery tag holders, will see a similar hunt when you compare it to last year. Antler growth is good but it appears as if we are not going to get the Monsoon moisture that is needed. I am hoping for the best but I think we will all see spotty rut activity and a lot of guys huddling around some mud holes.
