I don't know anything about that particular taxidermist, so I can't help you that way. But we have several great sponsor taxidermists here....please consider giving them your business as they support this site AND do great work. Clay Goldman in Payson: http://www.mogollontaxidermy.com/index.html Wild Heritage Taxidermy in Young (but you can drop your trophy off at Jeremy's shop in Payson): http://www.wildheritagetaxidermy.com/ Weller's Wildlife in Tucson: http://www.wellerswildlifestudio.com/

Jim Mullins gave me this buck to use for a Guess the Score contest at Jeremy's archery store grand opening in Payson awhile back. But most of you didn't get up there and get to guess, so for those that didn't, you can guess now. (if you already won a prize on this or already know the score...please don't guess) Guess the GROSS score and post your guess by Tues Aug 10, 5 pm. here are pics of the buck:

Hopefully someone will take you up on your offer!

here are some more of the bear.... I got it rolling around in the water for a bath, but you can't see it well because of the vegetation growing around the seep. but I also got a pic of the bear on another cam in a nearby spot which is probably the same bear.

Congratulations!! Nice bull and nice CW.com hat

With that much variance, I suspect you have a loose reticle inside your scope. It could be your mounts, but I doubt it. Try mounting another scope and see what happens. Bill Quimby +1 I had an old Bushnell scope do the same thing on my .270. Drove me crazy until I finally decided it was the scope and put a different one on. Shot fine after that.

Very nice! I don't do much bird hunting but I enjoying reading about other peoples hunts. Thanks for posting!

Jarred asked me to thank everyone for your kinds comments. He has some other hunts going on, but he really enjoyed reading your posts.

Wow, I love the character of this bull! Jarred Nichols shot him during his archery hunt. It was a tough hunt with few elk, but he made it happen. Jarred owns and operates Nichols Guiding Service, a Sponsor of CouesWhitetail.com. http://www.nicholsguidingservice.com/

Wow, congratulations!! I really enjoy it when people take the time to write up their hunt experience and have some good pics. Thank you!

Congratulations and as has been said, way to stick with it all these years!

And that first pic is indeed a spotted skunk. Very cool critter. If you ever get the chance to watch one you will see they move very much unlike a skunk and more like a cat. Neat little critters. There are four species of skunks in AZ and I think the spotted is the most interesting! here is a link to the AGFD website for more info on skunks: http://www.azgfd.gov/h_f/game_skunks.shtml

Yes, it's just lower down than any of the other cams previously. LOVE that spot due the variety of critters! thanks for sharing Clay! great place to walk the dogs and get great pics.

Actually it was already posted here in this forum and they found the owner due to their post here: http://forums.coueswhitetail.com/forums/in...showtopic=21129
