AZ unit 8 late rifle elk.

I just wanted to give an update to this post. I ended up getting a scouting package through an outfitter in the area and was very pleased. We ended up harvesting a 290” heavy horned 5x5. The intel he gave us was worth what he charged. He scouted before hand and found out where the elk weren’t at which was just as good as where they were at. Definitely went above and beyond what his contract stated. Even checked in on us during his hunt with a different client to see how we were doing. Thanks to those who did offer a hand on here before, like all the locals I ran into down there, you AZ folk are good people. Thanks for letting me hunt your state.

Nice bull. Did you officially measure that bull?

Yes, we get around 290 plus or minus a few inches both ways. He is super heavy and has 48” beams on each side. Very unofficial lol.

Nice bull Tim! Also thanks for the ad guys! New to the page.
Tim, I have hunted unit 8 3 times and drew again this year. Looking forward to it, though at 68 it’s getting tougher. Definitely will be boning everything out and getting the sxs as close as possible. My partner also drew a tag. Slow and steady is the name of the game for us these days but as long as we don’t go too far into Wilderness area or too deep into some of those canyons we should be ok. In 3 trips there we have killed 2 bulls. Should have had one the third time but it just didn’t work out.
