Bethel archery elk
« on: June 14, 2022, 09:13:05 PM »
Only took 12yrs to draw a tag, but I'll take it. I'm like a kid at Christmas time. So excited.
I've hunted the carol flats area modern and smoke pole since '84. Fingers crossed I can seal the deal

Yaasssss!!
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

That is a good tag, there are some nice bulls in Bethel, I had the Quality rifle tag in 2016 and shot a great bull for that area. We have hunted 360 since the late 60's send me a PM for info if needed.

Remember! There was a huge fire last year in the west half of the unit. Scouting will be important.

I heard they did well in the Oak Creek area.
If I need a permit and education to buy a firearm than women should need a permit and education  before getting an abortion.

Voting for Democrats is prima facie evidence you are a skirt wearing, low T, beta male. Do better.

I was up in the area for muzzy season last year.
Between the actual fire, and the back burns they were doing, it was a smokey ashy mess. Did however see a few cows.
We plan on heading over to the area in a few weeks to start scouting and begin planning.
Father in-law was up at clover springs a few days ago, said it burned pretty bad, but they were seeing tons of animals.

Good to hear there are still animals up that way. Was planning to run the "Ridge" road from the feed station to the micro wave towers this summer.

Fish4Fun, if you don't mind me asking (you can DM me) where did you get your bull at?

Fun tag to have. I had an archery tag in there a handful of years ago. Killed a solid bull and had a darn good time doing it

I’m going up the back of it towards devils canyon on Sunday I’ll take some pictures of the area and post them. If I got that tag I think I’d look for a small plane pilot to rent for a few hours to look for choke points. The fires were blotchy not a full clean sweep.
