2023 AZ Elk Draw

I ended up taking a 6x6 bull 3 days in. The rut was great for the first couple days of the hunt, I helped another friend who also has a tag and the dry conditions, the moon, the wind and the smoke made it difficult to get some fired up rutting action. Even with a spotty rut, there were plenty of...

Binocular Harness Head to Head

Yeah the Kuiu pro harness has been my go-to harness after trying a badlands and Alaska Gear Creations. The AGC was probably the most comfortable harness though. Ive wanted to try the FHF but when I was looking last they were out of stock of a lot of things.

5a has that alternating early rifle tag so the rifle tag is first on Sep 15-21. The archery hunt for 5a is sept 22-October 5th. So it literally straddles the full moon. They should be rutting hard that time of year, but the moon is going to be bright. I’m definitely not complaining though. If we...

Did you change any tactics to get it done? Like listen for bugles at night? Walk into the wind? Glass more? Or just hunt the same. I’ve only ever had a late archery tag so any tips are appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

8 points and my card got hit yesterday afternoon. Resident pool for 5A early rifle or early archery. I'm a little worried about the moon on the early archery 5A hunt, looks like full moon is right in the middle of it.
