Title: Big buck off of "The Strip" this year!
Post by: agchawk on September 08, 2010, 09:34:04 AM: I figured that since you all love to look at big bucks, check out the pig that came off of the strip this year!

I know that most of us here are aware of the strip, but if you are not it's in Arizona. A premier muley haven in which big bucks are taken almost every year. Sure would be nice to hunt it some day.

Now most of the ranches have been more or less closed due to the changing land designation from BLM to wilderness and even some into the expanded Grand Canyon NP. The guides are mostly family of the ranchers and still have good access and great knowledge of the area. It is very open and rough country. Very hard to hunt and find game. The deer do get very big. A guide earns his money here. A lot of the guides work out of St. George, Utah. It's the nearest town to good access points.

Yup. I know a couple folks that have had the opportunity to hunt the strip over the years. I fella just needs to put in for a tag and be drawn. Also, some of these guide services have been there for years and know the country like the back of thier hands. They are almost a must in my opinion if you are drawn for this tag because the country is REMOTE and ROUGH! And to be fair to these guys, a lot of them are pretty reasonably priced for the service that they provide.

Just pointing out that hunting the strip isn't always a "rich man's endevour" and that just about anyone can do it if the chips fall in the right places.

Post by: Earshot on September 08, 2010, 08:39:59 PM: I've put in for Washington's premier units for over ten years and can't get drawn....and I believe the odds are better than getting drawn for the strip. But you can't win if you don't play the game. :chuckle: amazing buck!
