I have a litter now. I only have black males though. They are nice pups-ready at the beginning of Sept. Let me know if you're interested.

Hello All, I have been gifted a pair of Justin Boots and am trying to find out more information about them. I called Justin direct. Justin informed me that the boots are made of Sea Turtle. The color is "Honey Sea Turtle" and the shafts are "Beech". These are really neat old boots. They don't fit me (size 11D), and I'm not interested in keeping them around for decorations. I guess my question is: Does anyone know what type of sea turtle these are made of? Also, my understanding is that since they were manufactured before the Sea Turtle ban that these are legal to sell within the state of AZ, but illegal to sell across state lines. If you have any information on this, please let me know. Thanks!

Any tips on where bulls are hanging out in Unit 8 for the late rifle bull hunt? I am familiar with the area-have hunted cow elk and deer a few seasons. This year, though, I have been busy hunting deer elsewhere and haven't been able to scout like I would like. Anything would help and thanks!

They were drinking from puddles last weekend. I bet you already know that. Where were you guys seeing elk in 7W? We hunted mulies last weekend in 7W. The deer were up high but, the hunters were mostly roadbound. We saw a few elk but not as much as other years any reports will be appreciated. Saw 6 bulls on opening morning, at least two nice 6x6. I was in elk all morning. They were still bugling (Oct 28th) that morning, but since then have been silent. That was in the hills just west of Cowboy Tank. I had glassed up a nice bull the week before the opener in the same area. Saw elk in and around Buck Mountain on the 30th. I only laid eyes on cows, don't know if they had a bull with them. Also, they rutted hard on the North side of Red Mountain. I hiked through there two different times looking for deer. Trees are shredded everywhere, lots of big bull sign. I didn't see any bodies, though, don't know if they've moved on. There isn't any water in that immediate area, so probably wouldn't be worth pursuing unless we get some rain/snow. I haven't laid eyes on a buck yet. Still looking, seeing does in the pines but that's it. Most of the areas with junipers where I normally scout bigger bucks didn't get any water. Any ideas?

I am having similar issues in unit 7 for the late rifle mule deer hunt. I am seeing big bulls, but few deer. I have seen a bachelor herd near the Williams corner, mostly small stuff. I caught one coming across Highway 64 recently as well, looked like a nice buck. He was crossing from 10 into 7, not sure where he resides yet. Talked to some elk hunters who say they saw 100+ bunched together off of Spring Valley road-I would assume mostly doe. I shot a nice 4x4 3 years ago in 7. I found him in the junipers. I didn't see a single decent buck in the pines. I noticed that year that there were very few hunters in the juniper areas. Juniper hills are the way to go if you're not picky about seeing a lot of game. My buck was the only good buck I saw that year-saw him twice and the second time got the shot. My plan is walking the flats at first light to catch them at feed and then hike the cedar mesas mid morning. Here's a question for everyone: Where are the drinking from in the junipers? Most of the tanks are mud as of this week. Going out tonight again-I'll keep you posted!
