I spent the weekend down in the 36's helping at the SCI youth deer camp. What a great event this is! They provide food and advice and guides if they have them available. I had the pleasure of helping my friend Bonnie's daughter Annie and her friend Makayla in their quest to get a deer or a javelina (or both!). Unfortunately Annie didn't get a javelina or deer, but Makayla got both and several other kids scored as well. Many thanks to SCI for hosting the event and working hard to make sure everyone had a great time. The food was excellent and everyone was very helpful. here are a few pics I took.....if you attended the event as well, please feel free to post more pics! Many thanks to Gabe and Adam who helped Makayla and Annie! There were many other forum members there in camp helping or there with their kids hunting and it was great seeing you all! Zacharry's first coues! my little camp neighbor with his new panda hat....his sister had a tag and was hunting: a classic from Amado AZ....it's for sale now....

You too Matt!! You are an inspiration!

Wow! Steep country! Congratulations!

Wow, great buck!

I put together a little video from the many sticker photos you guys have sent in. If you don't see your sticker in this video, it probably means I don't have a picture of it. Send me a pic of your sticker if you can! Thanks for all the support guys! Hope you like the video! Enjoy! Click the link below to watch the video: CouesWhitetail.com Sticker Video link Amanda

Thanks for the update I will fix it in the original post too.

WOW!! that is so awesome!! That will definitely be a great mount! did you keep the skull and did you happen to age it? I wonder how long he lived being bright white like that!

Don't forget to enter him in the coues contest! http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/34667-2012-coues-buck-contest/

It's in the Big Game Draw area.....you can always google this kind of stuff to find it, that's what I did. http://www.azgfd.gov/eservices/documents/leftovers-spring.pdf

Excellent!!

Sorry I missed you! If you had stopped in the middle of the day we probably would have been there since it was so darn hot that weekend!!

Wow, that's a real bummer....what did you guys end up doing that night in the rain? Wow, that's just depressing....

I suggest you start with the taxidermists that sponsor this site.....They do excellent work!! Go through the list and view their work either in person or on their websites. See which work appeals to you and then give them a call and talk about what you want. Taxidermy work is very personal, so make sure you look at prior mounts they have done and evaluate their work for how it looks to you. here is the list (in alphabetical order by business name) Devin Beck Arizona Wildlife Designs (in Tucson) http://www.arizonawildlifedesigns.com/ Clay Goldman Mogollon Taxidermy (in Payson) http://www.mogollontaxidermy.com/ Jim Hartsock Southwest Wildlife (in Scottsdale) http://www.swwildlife.com/ Bud and Gavin Weller Weller's Wildlife (in Tucson) http://www.wellerswildlifestudio.com/ Dale and Heather Robertson Wild Heritage Taxidermy (in Young) http://www.wildheritagetaxidermy.com/

just an fyi....one of the coverts is 129.99 (just under your price point).... it's a very small camera with great battery life and performance. It's the Covert CA4.0.

gorgeous....I like that closeup pic...

Awesome pics!!

Excellent!! Thanks for sharing the hunt with such a great writeup and pics!

I use the Jim White adapter for my 15x56s and love it. It's less expensive than most others but very well made... it's also lighter weight and smaller...you can get it in the CW.com store.... http://store.coueswhitetail.com Outdoorsmans adapter is a great one as well!

Wow!! that's a great buck! Got any side view pics of him?

Wow! great stories and bucks! Congratulations and glad you all had so much fun and were so successful!

Excellent!! Don't forget to enter into the Coues contest! We have a youth category.... http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/34667-2012-coues-buck-contest/

Wow, glad he got fixed up and the $240 actually sounds pretty reasonable for emergency work like that. Did you go to Dr. Eubanks? that's who we use and he is great.

very nice....are you getting any of them mounted?

I am down here helping at the sci camp.....come on out....camp is on dirt rd on nrth side of arivaca rd....about 5 miles from amado az

Very cool!!!
