SouthwesthunterBoys of summer
Figured some of you might enjoy the bulls we get here at the house. I've got a waterhole 50 yards from the porch and it sees a lot of activity this time of year. Had a lot of smoke from a nearby fire so a few pics are pretty hazy.

VenandiThat's the kind of neighbors I'd like to have.
Thanks for sharing those pics. I never get tired of looking at bulls. I presume you're in AZ, which unit do you live in?
AZ is my favorite place to elk hunt, have participated in 7 or 8 hunts there as a non-res. Should draw unit 9 in the next few years as I'm sitting on 20 points.

SouthwesthunterI live in 7 west. If you look at a map of the unit I'm pretty much in the dead center. Been here a couple years and we still shake our heads in disbelief sometimes that we actually get to live here. Through 20 years of hunting this unit we camped within a mile of where we live now. It's a rare day to not see elk,deer,and antelope. AZ is a special place to elk hunt for sure. This fall should be great. With all the moisture this past winter and still having lots of feed the growth is really good. We've got 3 early archery bull tags,3 late archery bull tags,and 4 late rifle bull tags between family and friends so with any luck we'll put some good ones on the ground. Of those tags my 14 year old daughter and another young lady are looking for their first bulls. My wife is donating her early archery bull tag to Wishes for Warriors and we're excited to be hosting them at our house and helping a hero get a chance at our bugling AZ bulls. If I can be of help to any AR members I'm happy to help.
