Agreed. I don't really care for it either.

With that said, there are alot of guide services out there that use similar tactics and don't consistently put down the level of animals that these guys do. Not my cup of tea as it is the guide service doing the true hunting and the "hunter" is just a trigger puller. In the end, their job is to find big animals for their clients to shoot. They get it done.

I will say that if someone bet me a million bucks that I couldn't shoot a free range 400" elk next year then I'd take the bet. Then I would call Mossback.

Not sure where in Arizona this was filmed, but Coconino County (above the Mogollon Rim) was the home of the WR RM Elk for a lot of years. My best archery elk story comes from there, and just for your reading pleasure, I'll tell it again.

It was 1973, early September, and the combined Muley and Elk early archery season was just underway. I'd driven up from Phoenix, and had only been there one night by myself. About 8:30 my first morning, I'd been walking the logging roads for awhile, so I opted to sit down on a large rock just south of Knoll Lake, and relax with a candy bar for a few minutes.

Now, I'd never hunted elk before, and being a Texas boy, had never heard one bugle. It's necessary to tell you that so that you'll understand my surprise and unhappiness at hearing what I was certain was a Boy Scout troop marching through the wilderness, and intent on spoiling my hunt with all their bugling.

I was getting madder and madder just as this Royal (7x7) stepped into the open, trailed by seven cows. They meandered in front of me at 35 yds (I later stepped it off), and came to a dead stop while I was still sitting on that rock with my mouth wide open and my trusty Wing Thunderbird by my side, but with all the arrows still in the bowquiver.

I'm not sure how long that old boy and I looked at one another, but it seemed like forever. Finally he and his harem trotted off. And the reason why I never picked up my bow doesn't have to do with my shooting abilities - it wasn't that many years earlier that I'd won the Texas Amateur Instinctive trophy at the TFAA state tourney in San Marcos.

If you're wondering why I didn't take a shot, it has to do with my inattention to detail. See, in those days everybody who applied, got an archery elk permit. All you had to do was include your $10 check (yes, I said $10) with your resident application. I forgot to include it. Therefore, I was limited to hunting Muleys.
