Just drew an Arizona area 27 late season rifle elk tag. This is the second tag that they have got for me in 4 years. 2012 was a Montana bighorn. Anyway it's in the mountains on the New Mexico border and several 380 class bulls are killed there each year and I'd be thrilled to get a crack at a big one. Will keep you posted.

If you don't feel like going I'll take your draw. Nice luck. What are the odds like on something like this?

I don't know Dave but non res's odds are reduced 50% so it pays to start building points. I think I was 7 points in on that hunt. Statisticly I should start winning more frequently now
in the other states too. I'm guessing 50 to one.

Ahh, your lucky! Heard and read lots of great things about down in those parts.
I have about a 105 questions for you! Good luck! Look forward to hearing back on your experience.

I have had a dozen solicitations in the mail from outfitters who can get you in and out of the area in Arizona and provide guide service. A couple sent along a DVD of the bulls they've assisted with over the years. Now, I'm really getting stoked as there a lots of big ones hitting the ground every year.

But, I bought a Utah landowner ranch tag for a 360" class area and saw a total of one bull the whole trip so... Until I see them in the crosshairs...

Congrats on the tag! Cabela's TAGS are the guys that helped my draw my desert sheep tag a couple years ago. Good luck this fall.

haha! sounds like you'll have a great time! I've been waiting for a good story round here. (just joined the site this spring so no interesting hunts yet besides the odd bear :P) Good luck! Even if you come out empty(god forbid) share your story!
