    Thanks! Hard to tell in that picture, but he has 5 points on either side. He's going to look real nice on my wall.

    Thank you! Correct, this was my first big game animal. It was a good time overall. I don't usually camp this late in the year so the cold made it a little tougher, considering I was tent camping. But it was worth it. We had to change locations on opening day, because the area that we had...

    Well, I figured things out well enough to get it done! Spotted this guy on Tuesday, day 5 of my hunt, and had him down a few minutes later.

    Elk .... Let's see them!!!

    I finally have something to add to this thread! Got my first elk tag ever this year, for the late rifle bull hunt in AZ, unit 5b.

    Electronic ear plugs

    I have my first-ever elk hunt coming up in just under a month and I'm looking for something too. I'd prefer not to use earmuffs, since they're bulky and interfere with shouldering a rifle. I also want something that I can either put in/on quickly when I need to take a shot, or that I can just...

    Last weekend I went and drove through 5B South, all the way from the South end to the 5B North boundary, and spent a night out there. Found quite a few elk skulls and bones, lots of droppings, and a few beds. There was actually quite a bit of water in a couple spots, and others were totally dry...

    AZ is starting to hit cards for the draw.

    I also drew a mid-winter bull tag in 5b. My first elk tag ever!

    Thanks for the advice! I know some parts of the unit pretty well, so I have some canyons in mind that I can check out. I guess scouting will probably not be that worthwhile until after the rut?

    Draw results are available, I drew a bull tag in 5B, mid-winter hunt. I can't wait! But I don't even know where to start on finding animals at that time of the year.

    Thanks, all, for the warm welcome. There's probably not a lot of point in scouting this early in the year, but I picked up a new pair of 12x binoculars, and some .300 WM ammo on sale. Also bought a Primos cow and calf call. My hunt is well after the rut I think, so I don't know how effective...

    Thanks! I'm extremely excited. In fact, two of my brothers also drew this year. We all put in for the same two hunts, but still waiting to find out if we all drew for the same unit. We're all pretty much newbie big game hunters.

    Hi all, just created my account and need to hit 10 posts apparently before I can create threads in other forums. I'm a lifelong Arizona resident, and I've been hunting small game for most of my adult life. Mostly quail, occasionally rabbits and squirrels. I've been applying for deer and elk for...
