AZ Draw Happening

The elk/pronghorn draw in AZ is now taking place. Right now, the only indication of a successful draw is a charge on your CC. Portals should be updated with the exact results within the next few days.

I no longer hunt, but I let someone else use my BPs. Haven't heard yet if his CC got hit.

Zippo for me. This draw is getting worse every year it seems

Not drawn for elk and pronghorn.
Wherever I go in the west pronghorn stand by the road to torment me.

It appears some lucky wounded warrior will be getting a Unit 23 late rifle permit from me.

I have hunted 23. He had best not be too wounded, pretty rough county.

Yup. Been in it a few times over the last 50 years. I have a friend that runs the WW program here in AZ, so I'll be consulting with him on it before I turn over the permit.

Zippo. The draw is getting pretty much a non event. Time to plan elsewhere. Although otc hunts are pretty good

Yesterday, I spoke to the head of the 'Heroes Rising Outdoors' program, which is run by the AZ Elk Society. He told me they've had three elk hunters in 23 so far & all have tagged a bull with the help of Dale Robertson, a taxidermist who lives in Young. I know Dale, so I've decided that's the organization that will get my permit & put it to good use. The only preference I expressed is that it goes to a vet who was disabled in combat & not to some guy who hurt his back moving a file cabinet at Luke AFB.

Up on top near Young would be a good area.
Agree needs to be a real wounded and not a paper cut.

I think I live a couple miles from you. At 83rd and Northern.
