you both suck!! hahahha just kidding.

congrats you two!!! ltdann..rifle hunt?

 

[ltdann]

Yep, rifle hunt. My first choice was the oct rifle hunt, and my third was muzzleloader. I'm good with a bow, but not good enough to chance a $600 tag.

I'm just thrilled to have even drawn.

Now, If I could just draw Kaibab......

Now, If I could just draw Kaibab......

now let's not get all grandiose!! hahaha.

congrats!! AZ is the "super bowl" of elk in my opinion. maybe leave the mask at home? hehe

My partner drew Kaibab 12aw last year and I went to film his hunt. I fell in love with the plateau, what a place!

We stopped to gas up at Jacob Lake and took advantage of the lunch counter. The guy sitting next to us started applying when his son was born., I asked" How old's your son?" and the guys partner says, "that's me". 19 years to draw! But oooh, its worth it.

I love that mask. It's in my pack all the time and really comes in handy for waking up sleepy partners or perking up a dull afternoon glassing. Normally, I try and get at least one photo wearing that mask so I can post it here. Keeps all the JhO'er's guessing about the "Man behind the Mask":lol bashing sign:

guess I will be getting my loan back for AZ. didn't draw

 

[sdnative13]

anyone know when the refund checks will be mailed out?

 

[ltdann]

Checks will be out before 22 April, according to the booklet. Since the draw was out last week, the checks probably in the mail now, or will soon be.

If any hunter's need some help on their hunt's for 6a, i know the unit good and could give you some good area's to hunt.

Congrats Dan. Have fun, get it done and take pics.

 

[ltdann]

Anyone else draw in AZ? Can't believe I'm the only one!

Talked to my partner in Phoenix yesterday and he says 6A got snow over the weekend. I've got the feeling its gonna be cold there in Nov.

 

[LongCaribine]

I just read that 20% of the elk harvested in AZ come from 6A. Does that seem possible?

 

[ltdann]

They certainly give alot of tags for that area. My partner says the bulk of the states elk are in that zone and one or two adjoining areas.

So yeah, I'd believe it. They gave out 900 bull tags for that one hunt in 6A and there are many many hunts.

California gave out 350 tags total for 2010.

Congrats to those of you who got drawn = elk 2011....so very cool.
I posted this message elsewhere, but thought I'd copy/paste it here to in hopes I get some play on it.

I drew a tag (archery) in Unit 23 - Nov 11-24. In past years, I have hunted the North half. I am considering trying out the South half this year (2011). Three questions: (1) Where in the South half would you recommend? (2) Coming off of 288, which are some roads to use. (3) Any reputible guides in the area?
Kind regards,
kieta

Purchased a leftover early archery cow tag for Unit 1 Coon Canyon Area Aug. 5th thru 8th. Anyone with experience in the Apachi National Forest area? Never been to the area and have only the three days prior to the hunt to scout. Looking for thoughts or input on this early hunt.
