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

Hey All, I don't know how many of you are familiar with or are currently members of the Record Desert Whitetail Club, but they wanted to let members know that the annual gathering is at Nevada Smiths on March 20, 1400-1800 hrs. Folks need to rsvp by March 15 to Ms. Shelton at 579-2966. This is a group that has been around for years and you have to have killed a 90 inch coues or better to get into the club. I went to the gathering one year and really enjoyed it, they do a dinner and everyone brings racks from bucks that year and it's a lot of fun. Amanda

Brandon McDermott was lucky enough to get to hunt Oryx on the White Sands Missile Range with his buddy Mark Boulanger. Brandon shot this one that scores 36 1/4. He shot this Bull at 820 yards using a 30-378.

I am an official measurer for the bowhunting book also, so I may still be able to help you out Gino

Oopss! I just realized you were talking about the Bowhunting in Arizona recordbook.....I am actually not involved with that one. I am on the trophy book committee for the Arizona Wildlife Trophies book (not archery specific). We just came out with the 2010 AZ Wildlife Trophies recordbook and that is the one I described above. Sorry for the confusion!

and how do you scald the cream?

Congrats to Jimmy!

YUM!! Looks great Hector! Like you said, I have been having fun cooking lots of stuff with those spices Stan gave us. It's amazing stuff and just so easy to add great flavor to anything. They have different masalas (spice mixes) for all kinds of stuff like salad masala, chicken masala, etc. Hey Chef, what's the reason for "scalded" heavy cream vs just putting some heavy cream in?

If it's the Covert HR 8.0, Gino is right, they had some issues with the blur and issued a software upgrade. You can still get that upgrade if you haven't already or another option is to lower it to 5 MP rather than 8. apparently and 8 MP cam has to keep the aperture open too long in order to gather more details for the higher resolution pic.

Hey guys, I am on the trophy book committee and so I will be glad to look into your case Gino or anyone elses. Send me some details in an email so I can approach them about it. amanda@coueswhitetail.com I will tell you that this new recordbook is an excellent one!! It has a great history of all the wildlife transplants that have occured in Arizona (sheep, antelope, deer, javelina, etc). And it has some great hunt stories and stories of some amazing individuals in the hunting community. That's in addition to listing all the trophies in the state. It's a great book and I think anyone would enjoy a copy. Amanda

It would be nice to hear AGFD's version of this story......it all seems so ridiculous from what you have told us.

Thanks, Amanda. Let's give her today to contact me. It would be nice to know that Hunter's niece has the book. If she doesn't reply, the book is yours. Do you still have my address? Bill Quimby I am in no hurry, so give her all the time she needs to decide. I would love for her to have it too. Maybe I will send her a PM to make sure she sees your offer. yes, I have your address. Amanda

Hey Bill, If his neice doesn't want the copy you have, I will take it. Amanda

It doesn't seem bad to me...what do you think is bad about it?

Wow, that's really sad. I am amazed you can get a ticket for "taking game in a closed unit" when you didn't even actually get out and hunt it. That really floors me. Thanks for sharing your story.

Wow, great story to have as your first post! Welcome and thank you for sharing it. Cool pics! It is amazing how the young ones instinctively lay low and conceal themselves. It reminds me of the turkey poults I walked up on last year. Mom was upset nearby, but all the poults hid and never would acknowlege me or move in the slightest. Amazing! here is a pic from that day.

A friend of mine and her daughter are down at the "Junior Jack Kamp" in 36 this weekend. They have a friend who got her first rabbit today! Congratulations to Makayla Our own NRS and his son are down there as well. My friend saw his truck and sent in this sticker sighting. hope you and your boy are having fun, Darrell! Looks like your sticker has been getting a workout

This is a great hunt with over the counter turkey tags in New Mexico. Several ladies have been doing this hunt for a couple years now. I probably can't make it this year, but if you are into turkey hunting, please contact Kathy and ask her for details on this trip. Kathy Greene Arizona Outdoor Women 1889 W.
