For all you guys heading this way.......keep an eye on the weather. Phoenix is pretty much shut down due to flooding and it is heading into the elk country north of there. Some areas have received over 4 inches of rain in just a couple of hours. It is a mess. Hopefully it will dry out some in the next couple of days.

Heading out for 7E this Thursday. 15 days off from work, and I can't wait. I'm pretty much worthless at work right now. My fingers are crossed for my first archery bull hunt. I've put in 3000+ miles on my truck, 600+ miles on my quad, and 150+ miles on my boots. I'm as ready as I know how to be. Good luck to everyone heading out this weekend. Be sure to post some pics up.

Does anyone know if the rain will affect the rut and the amount of bugling going on for our hunts?
From: Coyote 65
08-Sep-14
There won't any effect on rut, bugling, much better to be cool and wet than hot and dry. Water hole sitting may suffer, although I have seen them still come into the same waterholes even though there is lots of water elsewhere.
Right now 58 and misting. I am 30 miles east of Payson at 6400 ft. Since the 4th of July we have had 15 inches of rain here. Payson, not so much.

What do you do when it rains? You let it rain... I agree with coyote... better than hot and dry. Although, I'd rather everyone else sit on water while I hunt them going to water. Can't wait for this. Ed F

I know I commented about this earlier, but I saw a few nice bulls in 7E while deer hunting several weeks ago. What I forgot to mention is I don't have an elk tag this year. Those bulls might be hanging in that area I saw them, or may have moved by now to find some cows probably.

They are singing tonight!!!! Just went out on the porch to shut off the yard light. Heard a bugle, so I sat down to listen. Heard 6 different bulls challenging one another to attract the girls.
I have heard the occasional bugle the last week, but not like this. The cold day today just set them off. Heard a bugle this afternoon at about 4. First time this year in the afternoon.

Just got back from a walk around the neighborhood.
Ran into 4 groups of cows. No bulls with them. Lots of bugling going on, but the bulls were not responding to cow calls, only other bugles. I am thinking its Jr. Beaver Bulls. The only two bulls I saw were a spike with velvet, and a Colorado 6X (raghorn). Did see 4 whitetail does, Hope they are still here in a couple of months.

Had a 350" at 50yds this morning. Wind blowing from them to me. Cow didn't like something and she walked away from us. He sat thier for 30 seconds, bugled and then herded the cows up a different canyon bugling all the way. Didn't burger him will be on his trail tommorrow. Sitting tanks tonight. Were somewhere in 6a :)mind

There was a meeting last week but have not heard the results.
The rut is getting started. We watched a 340 6x6 bugle constantly as he and his cows crossed a meadow to the waterhole. He never had a response to his challenges. About 9:30 last night the bulls let loose around camp and kept going All night. Every day is getting better

If I didn't any better, I would guess that the Rd closure info the forest service gives out has not reached 90% of the tag holders in 6a. What a joke- doesn't anyone follow rules and do things the hard way anymore?

The rut is slow, but we're hearing some good bugling in the mornings. My dad and son have the tags but they haven't been close enough for a shot though. Hot, Hot, Hot out this season so far. It sure beats working though!

It will be very wet for the remainder of the week as this significant hurricane that slammed Cabo San Lucas in the Baja is headed directly for Southern AZ and on up to the White Mts and NM. Prepare for buckets of rain.
From: Shedhead
16-Sep-14
Were hoping the weather change will kick start things a bit. I know many of the quad bound hunters in 6A are gonna have a real hard time getting around for a few days. They might actualy have to get out and walk. Imagine that. Bugling was done by 7am by me this mornin but we have seen some really good bulls. Time to put one on the ground.
Talked to 2 Forest Service employees and asked them about enforcement. He said thier is only 2 or 3 guys that do any type of enforcement in the Cocnino national forest of road closures The first time offense is $100 and he did not remeber having heard of anyone even busting anyone for this. He said thier is no cash for more enforcement. I asked him if its not gonna be enforced why even have closures anywhere know one obeys them any way. He just shrugged his shoulders and then asked what I would do. Its simple- If your enforcement is to work it has to have teeth. When soemone is caught being where thier not suppose to be you can confiscate thier quad. Have an auction for the quads every spring and let them buy it back if they want it. You have solved your money issue, your quad issue and your enforcement issue.
FYI- The forest closure maps are free and i got one mailed to my house. The closure info can be downloaded to your phone or gps. I got all this info in 15 minutes. Everyone you come across never seems to know where they are and if anythings closed. I cant tolerate lazy and ignorant. Thier is no such thing as an easy elk hunt. Everything is bigger, harder to do and in many cases painful. If you arn't gonna make the commitment to follow rules, let someone have the tag that will appriciate it.

Right on Shedhead! I'm all for access but when there is a two track road every few hundred yards with a quad or side by side hitting every single route, it gets old quick! I try to hunt units where this situation does not exist. Either that or go places the quads physically can't make it. Keep after it and good luck!

Dogged a herd for over an hour this morning. They were in the area for 3 hours and didn't make s peep. No bugles cow calls nothing. Thier was around 40 head and at least 5 different bulls with 2 shooters. Had the big guy at 30 yards one time just to thick to shoot and they then boogered s little but never got my wind. Gave him the big Dan scream and he never turned his head, just kept up with the herd. Its gonna happen- 4 bulls over 330 less than 60yds with 8 days left and thier not talking. I hope the best is ahead of me. I have to work on getting my dad on some elk. He had some foot blister issues and with all the rain tank sitting is useless. I would hate to b a raghorn in front of him- he'll be getting a ride home in the truck

My son Garrett called in his first bull last night. He uses his voice and does a pretty good cow call. While I went to get the truck he and my dad stayed to see of the elk would make it out of the canyon by dark. On the way i got pinned down by two bugling bulls right in front of me. Garrett was trying to pull a cow he saw in and let out a few calls. A big bull screamed back at him and came running right in. They had a state down at 25 yards. Garrett's eyes were as big as saucers when I got back to him. Quite an experience for a 13 year old! It was a good night in the woods. Hope the rain lays down a little today.

Had another great hunt yesterday, but nothing on the ground. Called in a big 7x7 to 60 yards for my dad but he stayed in the trees and dad got caught re-positioning for a shot. Bull didn't spook much, but walked off. It is really a challenge with my dad's disabilities to get him up on the elk and in position to call one in. I really thought we had it done, but not so much.
Last night I called a 5x5 right over my son with the cow tag.... guess I only know how to hunt bull elk :-) It was great though. He's getting more experiences on his first elk hunt then I could ever hope for.
Chris and Brent, let me know if you guys haven't left yet. I'd love to meet up with you.

Well we headed home with nothing but Memories today. We sure had a great week though. A few quotes that made me feel good about our time in the woods with three generations:
Dad: "that's the first time I've felt human in a long, long time." (His first elk hunt since being diagnosed with Parkinson's 5 years ago).
Garrett: "I think I peed a little" (following his close encounter with a rutting bull) and "Dad that bull was HUGE, he was like something off the Sci-Fi channel".
Elk hunting, there's nothing like it!

Were on I40 East heading back to Iowa/wisconsin. Dad ended up not getting a shot at one but we still had a great hunt. The elk never really got cranking in the areas we were in and would start talking about 10 min before dark which doesn't leave much time to get on them. AZ has once again been very, very good to me- I just wish dad could have got on one. He has max points in WY. Anyone out thier have any suggestions for moderate terrain elk hunt with waterhole type hunting?

Once again had the 360 bull in range this morning but between the thick brush and a rogue coyote it was once again a no-go. It has been tough, these crazy things still haven't turned on like they should have. The rifle hunters are all over the place this evening, hopefully no negative encounters with them tomorrow. Feeling good about tomorrow but if it doesn't work out we've had one heck.of a great time. Good luck to those of you that are still out there after 'em!

Travel has not gone good. Got to Staratford TX and the front end starting grinding on the front end of the burban. A good ole boy come out with a 1969 tow truck that he called "Mader" from the cras movie and $120 later got us to town 5 miles away. Chevy dealer is gettin at it now. Front hubs took a crap. The got me right in when I told them I had frozen elk meat in the back!!! :)

Made it to Iowa. 10 miles from dads rattilng started from the front wheel well started rattling. Disc brake assembly had a bolt go loose and its rubbinon spare tire. Its at the shop for the second time. I'm 42 hours into a normal 28 hr drive. I'm afraid to look into the coolers. Meat was froze hard and had plenty of dry ice in it. I have 4 Rd hours to home. Any buddy hear from big Dan?

Well made it back home safely last night with full hearts and empty coolers. Had opportunities at a couple of smaller bulls but were into mature bulls just about every day so chose to pass. Can't tell you how many times we had shooters in range with no shot opportunity...unbelievable amount of elk in this unit. No regrets, had a great time and can't wait to go back.
Congrats again to all of you that got it done.
