Either my daughter or son in law drew a rifle tag.

Another tough draw looks like 26 points for next year...

Congrats to everyone who drew!

Looks like early Trophy quail for me

My son drew a youth hunt and my father's card was charged for a tag as well. At least I get to accompany some tag holders!

Which of the hunts out of a very small group of hunts are you holding out for with 26?

Trophy spike or bust...

You bet, that trophy spike will score almost B&C according to some on here. wink

When you see that trophy spike I have picked out for you, you'll be shaking like a dog chitt'n razor blades... I don't want to have to treat you for scope eye...

Don't worry, I'll just tell it I am shooting a high BC bullet out of a fast twist barrel and it will just give up the ghost.

Looks we drew 2 out 4 this year. Either my two teenage boys drew early rifle bull or me and a buddy drew 1 of 5 choices. I am stoked!

Early rifle unit 10 first choice and 3A 3c 2nd this year

Next year probably 9 1st choice 2nd ?

With that 10 hunt you are a few years behind, which might mean 5+ more years if lucky, maybe a year better on 3a3c. 9 just as bad as 10 for that hunt.

Pondered 1 muzzie? Stuck on early rifle?

Good luck in the future...
Posted By: Ackleyfan Re: AZ Elk Draw - 03/09/23
Possibly, for now I’m going to stay with early rifle, unit 1 just hasn’t been putting out the quality it use too , maybe that will change in the next couple years with all the moisture!

For now im going to keep putting in for the best of the best hoping I get lucky!

Muzzy is always an option for future draws!

Copy.

Hope you get a tag in the next 5-8 years. Buy point guard for 10 as I'm sure you do!

I saw a 370" ish 5 point with about 50 cows in the goat country scouting for goats a few years back. Still think about that bull with the whales as a 5. Got video somewhere. Whoowee....
Posted By: Ackleyfan Re: AZ Elk Draw - 03/10/23
That’s an incredible bull ,you guys still have some amazing bulls, but times have changed from when I started this process, I remember an article where a guy hunted unit 10 with a top outfitter and he saw 50 6 point bulls on an early rifle hunt!

Alot things have changed in the draw process that makes it tougher for non residents to get the best hunts but im not going to settle at this point

Hoping for a wet year like this year when I do get lucky!

This would have n been a good year to draw
Posted By: Ackleyfan Re: AZ Elk Draw - 03/13/23
I agree it should be a super year for horn growth!

I drew the December 8-14, 2023 hunt.

Good luck elks.

Son in law drew a Late rifle in a mid level unit that starts Dec 1.

He will transfer the tag to one of his young boys so I get to tag along on a hunt with one of my grandsons.
Posted By: rgrx1276 Re: AZ Elk Draw - 03/15/23
Drew 6A…1-7 December. Killed 2 bulls in that unit years past… fingers crossed for this year.

Good luck to all,

Finally after many many years of making early bull in unit 27 my 1st choice I’ve got a tag, it a muzzleloader hunt this year. My son drew 27 archery bull for the hunt that’s just before mine. I’ll be able to help him hunt for 2 weeks then my hunt starts.
Posted By: dennisinaz Re: AZ Elk Draw - 03/26/23
2 buddies drew 3A-3c in the random!

Didn’t make the draw but I was lucky enough to get a left-over cow tag for 4A Hopi
