Well I got it done on Day 3. My first elk hunt was a success and it was an experience of a lifetime. We saw a bigger bull on day 1 but I just couldn’t pass this one up at 40 yards when he presented the opportunity. They weren’t bugling very good at all. I ended up making a few cow calls knowing...
Oh yeah. This is a major passion of mine, with a focus of restoring the landscape to its native ecosystem and making an effort to rid of all non-native invasive species. Yes I want to improve habitat for turkeys, deer, quail, etc. because I love to hunt and as a conservationist I care about...
I recommend an Eastern Wood Outdoors one stick setup (several different configurations and aiders to build from). I also suggest looking in to rappelling with a Madrock Safeguard or similar ascend/descender. It takes some practice to get comfortable with the one stick system but once you do it’s...

Right now I was thinking just my tarp and adding a bug nest. I like to stay...
Yes sir I have done that. Like I said above, not looking for handouts, just information for the guys that have spent time in AZ in September. I’m from the South and have never been west of central Texas. Are snakes an issue? Should I use a floor less tipi or a nest? Etc… I’ll put the work in to...
So I was lucky enough to draw on my first attempt, zero points, Arizona Archery tag (North Central) Sept. 15th-30th.
This is also my first “western” hunt and obviously first elk hunt. I bow hunt whitetails in the South and chase turkeys in the Spring. I have been reading all I can on the area...
My reply allows me to edit but the initial post does not have the 3 dots… I guess I can repost if it will be deleted anyway or request moderator to delete.
