[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 2726953, member: 5219"] I had a chance to talk to a guide in NM who lives near and guides primarily in unit 17 which has been restricted to muzzleloader or archery only for years. (It is considered the best trophy bull elk unit in the state) He said his father was a guide in this unit as well. As a young man he saw huge bulls. The bulls seen in unit 17 today are smaller and those found many years ago. He said due to the limitations of muzzleloaders in the past few bulls were taken so many grew to a huge size. He also said the current population of bulls would have been passed up for much larger one's years ago. He thinks the current bulls are conditioned to stay 400 yards or so away from hunters. He thinks this coming season will present a major challenge to anyone who hunts these bulls. Finally, he believes the bulls will once again be able to grow to huge sizes. [/QUOTE]
