Apache Reservation Elk Hunting

[CAMPMEAT]

My wife and I just spent a week up there relaxing. Took a drive out of Show Low onto the Apache Nation Rez. There was a big sign that said:

                                                   DANGER
                                           TROPHY ELK HUNT
                                                IN PROGRSS         
                                           NO PICTURE TAKING
                                             NO ELK CALLING
                                            NO VIDEO TAPING
                                                DO NOT STOP

With some of those hunts running upwards of $20K that's understandable.

Should have Ripped a Bugle and seen what would have happened.......

Couple pics from elk hunts on Indian rez in Arizona and New Mexico...$17K to $25K  You can do a search for Casey Brooks and see some beeeg bulls. He came up this way turkey hunting a few years ago and showed me these two.

Haha, and it even scared your burley self into not taking a pic, but rather typing out what the sign said

I’d like to go there once, but the price is way out my league.

I was born and raised in that area. Those are pretty much the rules 24/7/365. I remember that if we were driving through the rez and wanted to look at a herd of elk off the side of the road we would have to act like we were having vehicle issues. If you got caught watching a herd on the Rez you were screwed. They would accuse you of trying to come up with a plan to poach their elk. It seems like unless you have a tag or are a member of the rez your best bet is just to keep on driving. There is some absolute crazy *censored* that they do out there.

I guess I can cross that off my photography bucket list.
