Bear cubs stay with their mom for more than a year, like about a year and a half. Females only have cubs every other year so they can raise the cub. Sounds like his mom is dead, perhaps killed during the recent bear season. I think it's possible the cub could survive, let's hope he does. Normally he would den with his mother this winter....let's hope he figures all that out on his own....

Hope you have a great hunt! Take lots of pics!

Sponsor Cola Blanca Outfitters was featured in this month's Trophy Hunter Magazine...They took some great bucks down in Mexico! here is the article. Trophy Hunter Houidni .pdf

You can get a replacement remote for free from the DLC company. You have to specify which camera it's for and whether it's the black remote or the white remote. I might have one extra white remote on hand, but I am not sure, so better to get one from the company.

I sent your question to david. who makes them. but it fits just about everything

Loved the tease and the story....I hope your son shares just as much success in December! Congratulations on your 2nd archery coues buck.

Wow, great pics, I like the sequence too. are there four bears in the last pic or just three....looks sorta like one is up against the sows side?

Sometimes it's the SD card. You might try swapping the card with another one. If you get the blue screen, it usually means the camera doesn't have either batteries or the SD card working. And sometimes it is just a matter of taking the SD card out and reseating it, but sometimes you have to change the card. And then as Bonecollector mentioned, sometimes it just means it needs new batteries. It's also possible the cord on the remote isn't getting a good connection...in which case a new remote would likely fix that.

love it!

Well, sponsors Will Shill (Gila Outdoor store manager) and Chris Jacob (Sonoran Ghost Outfitters) came by my house the other day to drop off my bow which still needs a part for my bow sight to work. That part is on order, but in the meantime I needed to practice so I thought of putting a clamp on the sight to hold the vertical adjustment in place. It works great! Even easier to adjust the sight...just loosen and move. No more fumbling with an allen wrench trying to work the little screw. It's a tad on the noisy side though! Anyway Chris and Will said I had to post pics so you guys could get a good laugh. if my part doesn't come in time for my elk hunt, this patch will keep me hunting!

+1 I believe it's illegal to bolt stuff into trees on most USFS land....might want to check with the particular forest you want to use that on...

Cool! thx for sharing! Can't wait for next weekend!

Hey All, Most of you are familiar with Sportsmans Warehouse and all the great variety of products they carry from guns/ammo to camping and hunting gear. Sportsmans Warehouse has teamed up with CouesWhitetail.com and other sponsors to bring you the new Bucks and Bulls Contest that Sportsmans is running this year. (this contest is in addition to the regular Coues buck contest we run here ever year....just more chances to win some money). They have tried this contest in other states in the past and it worked out great, so they want to try it this year at the Mesa store. There is no pre-registration to enter their contest, but you do have to bring your elk or deer (coues or muley) to the Mesa store to enter it in their contest (and you have to leave the cleaned up rack there at the store for them to display during the contest). 1st, 2nd, 3rd each division, each species is $300, $200, $100 SW gift cards, based on overall SCI score. Here is a pic of how they intend to display the racks. If you have more questions about the contest, please call the Mesa Store and talk with manager Ryan Steele (480-558-1111). You can enter both the CouesWhitetail.com contest and the Sportsmans Warehouse contest (assuming you are a registered forum member here before your hunt starts). So you can double your chances of winning prizes! let's help make the Sportsmans Warehouse contest a success this year! Ryan will be sharing photos of the entrants here on CouesWhitetail.com. more info about the contest:

Thanks Shelvin! You might just bring it when you come by for your camera this weekend. also, let me know when you think you might stop by, I have a church campout at timber camp and I can leave the camera for you if I won't be around when you come through Globe.

LOL!!! that had me laughing big time!

I hope to be able to send you a pic this year with my archery bull!

I am jealous Casey!! Have a great time and make sure you take lots of pics so we can enjoy the hunt too!

Lark, It's even worse than that....most all our tools we found on the side of the road. You can find tons of stuff that way....hammers, ratchet sets, screw drivers, etc. You would be surprised how many vice grips we have found, although some are a little bent and don't work so great....

good idea...i hadn't thought of camo painting it!

LOL!! How do you know that!! You got me pegged....

I am glad to see the fires being allowed to burn...we just can't burn enough acres through prescribed fire alone to get caught up in any meaningful way. The most cost effective way to get some larger acreages burned is to allow natural fires to do their thing. Those burns create better deer and elk habitat in the short and long term.

Hmmmmmmm? I DIDN'T see you there that day the Wallow fire started. Were you on the 25 road with the 3 Engines watching as the copper column was laying over with 50 mph gusts? Right now im thinking of everyone that was there and that was 9 Men and women including myself and I know every one of them. One of them was the idiot official that decided that is was too dangerous to go into a canyon with no escape routes and safety zones. Im not going to burn myself up for a tree. I dunno where you got your info but you might want to check your facts. Before you go pointing fingers, brush up on your 10 fire fighting standard orders and your 18 watchout situations. Also read the report that was given out by the Forest Supervisor, the timeline provided was given to him by my fellow crew members that were interviewed by law enforcement. Just tired of hearing what happened from everyone else that wasn't there! Timeline +1 I am getting tired of it too....Thanks for sharing the real scoop.... People need to click on the Timeline link in his post and see what the actual response was.

Hope you have a great day and your family does something nice for you

Wow, I would love to do this, but I have my archery elk tag! Sounds like a great deal. And for those that don't know Matt, he is an excellent guide and a very enjoyable person to be around. If you have been looking for a great antelope...this is a great deal!

I am excited too!!! I can't get up there until about the day before the season, but I am stoked!! Many thanks to John Olvey and TJ for loaning me their trailers for my hunt. Can't believe I will be camping in such luxury. Planning lots of great meals. Already smoked and slow cooked some wild hog for BBQ sandwiches and fajitas. Bringing some salmon and scallops and shrimp too since I will have a freezer and fridge in the RV! Nice! Unfortunately my bow sight is still broken right now, so that's making me a little tense...waiting on a part for it.
