Love watching bears cooling off! great pics!

Wow, that's awesome! I didn't even know we won that again this year! That's at least three years in a row I believe. I keep forgetting to ask people to vote on this, so it's amazing to me we still win it. Thanks to all you guys who vote for CouesWhitetail.com! Glad you continue to enjoy the site!

....and a bad place for hunting deer! Actually these a great spot for deer! I've got some good bucks on camera. If you think about it, there is a lot of lions in these areas because there is an abundant deer population (for the time being). agreed! Usually places that have a lot of lions also have a lot of deer..... Thanks for sharing the pics.

Very nice! They are one of the most beautiful lizards for sure!

Excellent pics! Glad you are putting that camera to work and enjoying it!!

very cool pics!

Yes I do! We have several seats available.

Also, fyi, I have removed the original thread due to the original poster having some serious concerns about it and requesting me to remove it.

Check out the web site at www.pewter.com Have you ever heard of the Pleasant Valley War?From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Pleasant Valley War, sometimes called the Tonto Basin Feud, or Tonto Basin War, was commonly thought to be an Arizona sheep war between two feuding families, the cattle-herding Grahams and the sheep-herding Tewksbury’s. However, eyewitness reports show that sheep were not brought into Pleasant Valley until 1885, two years after the feuding between the Tewksbury and Graham factions began. Although Pleasant Valley is physically located in Gila County, Arizona, many of the events in the feud took place in Apache County, and in Navajo County. The feud itself lasted for about a decade, with its most deadly incidents between 1886 and 1887, with the last known killing occurring in 1892. Of all the feuds that have taken place throughout American history, the Pleasant Valley War was the most costly, resulting in an almost complete annihilation of the two families involved. Read more about it on this link or see number 8: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleasant_Valley_War Cherry Creek Lodge has donated a stay for two for two nights. The Cherry Creek Lodge is located where the Pleasant Valley War took place and on Tewksbury land. Arizona Highways TV show did a clip on the Pleasant Valley War and on the Cherry Creek Lodge.

This is the grant program that funds the women's javelina hunting camps that we have put on for the last few years.

Love it!!

It's an automated post, and it didn't translate well. I removed the junk, replaced it with the article content and you can click on the View the article text to see the original article.

Got just a little in Globe last night, but heard some places on the San Carlos Reservation got good rains!

Does it look like it's growing?

So sad to lose so many young men....

ok, please share that info.....you can email me if you like.

You are welcome! Put it to good use!

Sounds like a good idea! I will look into options and chat with Chef about it since he is already involved in one.

Looks excellent! All the javelina I have eaten have been excellent!

Store looks good Mark! I encourage everyone to stop by and meet Mark and his staff. As has been mentioned already, they provide great advice, products and customer service all at reasonable prices! You can trust these guys to treat you right!

I carry a basic first aid kit, but am looking to upgrade it by adding some of those gel bandages that stop heavy bleeding. I have a Dr friend that is going to recommend some to me to start carrying during my fieldwork and for hunting. I used one of those gel bandages once when I was pulling an arrow out of an archery target and it jammed into my knee when it suddenly came free. Wow, that was fun.....but the gel bandage worked GREAT. The other medical safety gear I carry is my SPOT unit. It has a button you can hit if you need life saving emergency medical care. I highly recommend people carry those units or something like it to summon emergency help. If that guy in Utah that was pinned under a rock and then had to cut his arm off had one of these units, he might have gotten help soon enough to save his arm. And you just never know when you will slip and fall or have some medical emergency like a ruptured appendix or whatever. These units are lightweight and really worth the cost, even if you never use them.

LOL! good one Ernesto!

Wow!! very cool!!

That is really neat looking inside! I hope someone buys it to fix it up!
