Drew a 16d elk in 2019
Barbary Sheep 2021
Bought a LO tag for elk15 in 2022
This year I’m in for Barbary Sheep, big horn, oryx, elk, deer and antelope.
Talked to a Landowner about a elk tag (17) LO tag if I don’t draw anything
I only put in for points this year but if AZ isn’t the craziest, slowest, screwed up draw in the country…..When a state like NM can out do you you know you are scratching the bottom!!! I guess that’s from being a border state where the help is pretty cheap…..
I believe AZG&F would be better off out sourcing their draw to someplace in South America and they would get better results than they get now. Some states are so smooth but AZ is a train wreck every year.
I base layer then a merino wool 1/4 zip then a Sitka kelvin light insulation jacket. If it gets cold I pull out the kelvin lite hoody. Been working great for quite a few years.
It beats living in Laramie. Too liberal, too windy and way too cold for way too long. WY has some good hunting but I couldn’t wait to get out of that ice box after working up there for 4 years.
In 2003 I bought a brand new Honda Foreman 450ES and can honestly say that it is one of the most trouble free things I have ever owned ! It has 3700 miles on it and all you need to do to it is put the key in and go..It plows snow like a truck, goes anywhere. Since new I’ve had to put tires on...
I live in the south west and the sun is shining just about every day and the sun is a decks worst enemy! The very best wood stain I have used is Sikkens Wood Finishes. You need to buy it at a Sikkens dealer and follow the directions correctly. I have seen many home owners around here go to Wal...
Personally I don’t like the new antelope Regs. There are a lot of big cattle ranches here in NM and they have a lot of antelope on them that now the LO can sell as many tags as he wants and I’m sure if the rancher is needing money the antelope will only be a way of getting money and not really...
I bought a few canvas panniers a few years ago and have packed out about 10 elk with them without a problem. I think the ones I have are made by Saddle Barn I bought them through a ranch supply store.
Good luck in AZ. I’ve been putting in for early archery for 16 years and the only thing I’ve got to show for it is a bunch of points. Maybe this year .
If your ride gets bumpy stand up a little , get your weight off the saddle until the horse goes back to a slow walk it will save your butt. If your knees get stiff and the terrain is easy pull your feet out of the sturips until they feel loose again. I have quarter horses but a gaited horse...
