That would never have come to mind but I guess it does make sense! That makes me feel even better about our spot, if there are so many elk they are getting taken out in groups by lightning!
I am fairly new to hunting elk in Arizona... I took my son out on a scouting/camping trip this weekend and we found what I think would be a very good/hard to get to area which would provide several days worth of good hunting. The odd thing was that just about every few hundred yards of walking...
I got late rifle bull unit 9 this year as well. I got the same draw 3 years ago and only saw one group of cows the last day as we were leaving and my feeling was that it was due to being hot and full moon. Well it looks like we will have a full moon again this year. Honestly, I didn't know...
