Thanks for the heads-up...I don't get that channel but I bet lots of folks here do...

The banquet was a great success! Thanks to everyone that purchased tickets and spent money at the auctions! It is so great to see sportsmen and women having a great time and raising money for wildlife! For those wondering, the special commissioner's elk tag sold for $95,000. It was a fun night...saw loads of Coueswhitetail.com members there. Several members were working the banquet...Christian, Coueschaser3, Butters, mjmhunter, bonusptjohn, Mr. Jonathan, Matt Mullins, 125coues and mrs125coues and probably more that I am not thinking of. Thanks to those who volunteer at this banquet! You guys do an awesome job! Other members I saw at the banquet include: MatthewP, Tomgobbler, Chef, Arizona Griz, Pete, Extreme Coues and his family, Elkster9, Double Buck Taxidermy, willhunt4coues, BearMtn, and again probably more I am not thinking of at the moment....Anyway, it's great to see so many familiar faces and it was great to meet several new ones. Thanks to everyone who took the time to say hello. Hope you all had a great time.

I hope you have an outstanding day Scott!!

Congratulations Chase and Alexandra!! You guys rock! Awesome hunt story. And Alexandra, you did the right thing....you shouldn't take a shot if you aren't comfortable with it. It's nice to have you guys back in Arizona! Thanks for sharing all the details and pics from your hunt!

The mount looks very good and it's cool you have a live photo of him too!

AGFD is offering a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest of the person(s) responsible. I appreciate those of you that have offered to pitch in money for a reward...looks like we don't need to do that, but I really appreciate the thought.

Gavin Weller asked me to post this photo for him. This is an awesome Coues deer display created by sponsor Weller's Wildlife Studio. The Dan King Deer (upper left, 184 7/8 SCI) is watching two 100" class coues bucks fighting, while three does look on in the background. anyone wanting to see this deer display can go to Sportsman's Warehouse in Tucson. WOW!

Well, if you are planning to attend the AGFD expo March 26-27, you might be interested in participating in the Sportsmen's Challenge. This is a shooting competition to help raise money for the Hunting and Angling Heritage Work Group. That group focuses on promoting safe, ethical hunting and fishing in Arizona. The event is being coordinated by Outdoor Experience 4 All. This will all be with .22 rifles which will be provided at the event (you can't use your own gun). Clay targets will be set at varying distances with specific shooting positions. Distances will be measured from the firing line to the target. This event will be a timed competition based on the score and time of the three man teams. Each 3 person team pays a $100 entry fee. Awards are given to the top teams. For more info, see the attached brochure. or email Eddy Corona at corona2000@cox.net 2011 Sportsmens Challenge.pdf

Please help me welcome the Outdoorsman's Resource Guide as a new sponsor. This guide was created by Craig Steele (aka CEI) of CEI Outdoors, publisher of the Resource Guide. I have looked through this and spoken with several people about this guide. It is extremely useful for all aspects of hunting or other outdoor adventures. You can find contact info for AGFD, USFS, BLM, and other land management agencies so that you can plan your trip. You can find law enforcement phone numbers, medical centers, restaurants, lodging, taxidermists, guides, locksmiths, gas stations, meat processors, and so much more. It's broken into statewide resources and regional resources for all of Arizona. It really is an amazingly comprehensive resource guide. It's like an outdoorsman's phone book with lots of extra info! Craig even added in some great information about hunting and fishing in the form of questions and answers. Here are some example questions that are answered professionaly in the guide: "can a friend carry a firearm while accompanying me on a hunt?" "Can I hunt with an attractant or bait for big game?" "Can I have lead shot in possession while hunting both waterfowl and quali on the same day?" There are articles about processing game and scoring antlers. And there is lots of information about fishing as well as hunting. Thanks Craig for creating such a valuable resource and for becoming a sponsor as well as donating several Resource Guides to our Coues and Elk Contests. I encourage you all to check out the guide and get a copy for yourselves. The guide costs just $9.95 and really would come in handy. here is a link to the website: http://outdoorsmansresourceguide.com/

Very nice pics!! Thanks for sharing them.

The amount of suffering and destruction is truly devastating. Our whole church is praying for them.

It was probably Chris Denham on his way to javelina camp....did the white ford look like this one?

Very Cool!!

Phenomenal!! Love those spot and stalk archery hunts!! Congratulations!

Some of the southern units (36A, B, C) have left over tags often for all the hunts (including the rut hunt). These are great coues deer units, but you have to deal with the illegal immigrants/drug traffic that goes on down there. But that's probably your best bet for getting a Dec Coues tag. Otherwise, use the draw odds book that AGFD puts out to find units and hunts that are fairly easy to draw. HOWEVER, not all units have good access to public land, so make sure you look at hunt success rates too and balance high draw odds and good hunt success to find a good unit. Also AGFD puts out info on each Game Management Unit and discusses things like public land access. Use that to make yourself aware of issues in a unit. here is the link to the draw odds book: http://www.azgfd.gov/pdfs/h_f/HuntAZ2010.pdf
