    Elk hunt debrief

    A more seasoned elk hunter would have eaten way more elk poop. Way more. You really can’t eat enough of it or spend enough time eating it

    2023 AZ Youth Antlerless Elk Hunt

    On the heels of our deer hunt last weekend we got home and put the deer quarters in the fridge. The girls went to stay with their mom and I worked three overnight shifts. Got off at 0630 Thursday morning, took a nap for three hours and then packed the truck back up and picked them up again for...

    AZ Desert Deer Youth Hunt 2023

    Well, it’s finally upon us. I feel like every year I get so busy that the thing I love to do most creeps up on me and surprises me and leaves me scrambling to catch up. Spent last week in Montana chasing deer and elk with my bow. Out of shape was the take home message there although the...

    Meat Taste from Rut??

    The rutting deer and elk I’ve eaten have tasted no different than any other. Keep the meat clean and cold and it’ll be good

    30-30 ammo for coyote?

    It doesn’t matter much but if you want to save pelts the 170s make make a smaller hole

    Bull elk with antlers still

    It’s interesting the timing of elk dropping. I think spikes typically drop quite late. I’ve seen enough 5-6pt bulls packing while also finding 5-6pt sheds same time to wonder if it’s partly genetic or something Found some 3.5lb antlers 5pt yesterday, didn’t see many elk but only bull I saw was...

    Shed Hunting: Where’s the beef and what’s the best way to manage it?

    There’s just as much entitlement in this response than in any of mine I’m sorry we disagree but I’m also comfortable with the disagreement. I like to sell the sheds I don’t keep and it’s nice to be able to do. That’s not the only reason I do it nor is it the main source of enjoyment I get from...

    Shed Hunting: Where’s the beef and what’s the best way to manage it?

    I’m in real close alignment in thought with @Ross Some beauties in there!

    Shed Hunting: Where’s the beef and what’s the best way to manage it?

    I’ve outlined them already, and you said you agreed with them. And, I’m not sure how to better explain the difference of selling something dead vs an inanimate object that was never alive How is meat like a shed?

    Shed Hunting: Where’s the beef and what’s the best way to manage it?

    I don’t understand the comparison of game meat to dropped antlers. I’d argue it IS entirely different Regarding the last paragraph, I think the banning of sales doesn’t target the problem which is pressure that actually impacts the herd, and can be mitigated in better ways

    Shed Hunting: Where’s the beef and what’s the best way to manage it?

    No, which part made it seem like I would be okay with banning commercial sales? I think the industry is beneficial to the economy

    Shed Hunting: Where’s the beef and what’s the best way to manage it?

    How do we feel about hunting shows and guiding? What about states not affected by winter kill? And should these states fall under the sales ban too?

    Shed Hunting: Where’s the beef and what’s the best way to manage it?

    . Ok let’s get on the same page. There have been a number of calls for the ban of sales. Quotes from the first page of the thread: “I’ll also mimic others on this forum and say selling of antlers should fall under the same restrictions as wild game meat.” What’s the law on selling game meat...

    Shed Hunting: Where’s the beef and what’s the best way to manage it?

    Read the whole thread. And also, this stemmed from another thread where that notions were proposed that “It should be illegal to sell antlers, only hunters should be able to gather sheds while hunting, etc” They’ve appeared in this thread or the other and are opinions being advocated Spot...

    Shed Hunting: Where’s the beef and what’s the best way to manage it?

    I’ve been horn hunting for quite a few years. I find horns but have never found a fresh dead elk except one, and it was covered in pine needles and dirt and a lion was sitting next to it. As you say, one data point. But the reason I challenge you to find a study on humans accessing public land...

    Shed Hunting: Where’s the beef and what’s the best way to manage it?

    Exactly my point. I’m arguing against totalitarian bans on shed hunting and selling antlers I’m using Arizona as an example of why this widespread totalitarian crap is not cool, because it breaks a lot of arguments for such bans

    Shed Hunting: Where’s the beef and what’s the best way to manage it?

    Snowiest season on record in Arizona this year. Here’s pics of all the browns I’ve found this year between April 5-9. This is winter range for the densest elk herd in Arizona. It’s also spring, summer, and fall range. I hunted elk here in September. In October. In December. Shed hunting in April...

    Shed Hunting: Where’s the beef and what’s the best way to manage it?

    Find me a study about this in Arizona I’ve not said one negative word about shed seasons in other states. I’ve stated support for regulation that targets identifiable problems backed by science. My argument is that we should identify and target real problems while preserving wholesome use of...
