I was fortunate to get a turkey tag for the North Rim this spring. My boys, father in-law and I headed up this past weekend and braved the bad weather. We had a great time and I was able to harvest this nice tom on saturday at 1230 with my boys just up the hill listening. My eldest son found this unique horned toad while shooting his bb gun in camp. Hope you enjoy the photos.
Arizona Draw Results Are Up
If you are one of the fortunate Arizona bull elk tag holder this could be the best year we have seen in a long time. Well above average precipitation should make this years’ antler growth outstanding. I just wanted to tell you all about the units I think hold be the best chance at a 400 inch class bull. Units 9, 10 and 23 are, in my opinion, the best chance at a giant bull this fall. These are my favorite units to hunt during the rut. Unit 9 has a great abundance of 320-360 class bulls and usually has a great rut. Unit 10 is more glassable and has had incredible rut activity in the past, hopefully this year won’t be the exception (320-360+ bulls common). Unit 23N is a great unit with a good number of 300-350 bulls with the capability of 400+ inches and has the lightest hunting pressure of all of these units. I think a couple of giants will be killed in each of these units between the archery and early rifle hunts. Any unit in Arizona may produce a trophy class bull this fall (350 inches and up) with the feed that will be available. I will be available to guide in these units and others if you are interested.
