Happy birthday young hunter!!

Glad that cam is working so well for you. And thanks for the report on the batteries. Were they lithiums or regular batteries? Did the card fill up before the batteries died?

WOW! That is a pretty shocking video. How is it possible that guy is in office for even one term??? HOLY TOLEDO!

the AGFD hunt unit report might help you: http://www.azgfd.gov/h_f/hunting_units_35b.shtml

Can you invite him to come share his story and pics with us? I am sure many here would love it.

Don't know, but awhile back I invited him to come share his story over here...don't think we heard from him.

I am sure Steven is well aware of the limits and was following them. Hey, Steven, I will go with you if you need another on your boat! I love crappie!

I took care of him.....wow, he was busy! To report something like this, you can open the post and then at the bottom right of the post there is a "report" button. Click on that button and you will send a report to all the moderators (not just me). Thanks for asking how to help. the report button can be used for reporting spammers, or offensive or inappropriate posts.

Awesome find!

So, this is a good time to remind everyone to please not post pics unless you have permission for it. People are just funny sometimes about that. They don't like to see their stuff posted without them knowing about. I don't know the whole story on this one, but it does serve as a good reminder to check with people before posting.

I hope you have better luck this year!!

LOL!! It's nice that the elk in your area can read and obey those signs! Great poses for sure!

I would say it was a GREAT day in the hills! Nice finds. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Good luck with the surgery Mike! I hope it really helps. My father-in-law had hip replacement and it made a huge difference in his life. Keep us posted on your progress.

Grong asked me to remove the post. Apparently one of the people that found some of those sheds didn't like the photos being posted without permission.

Come on...post a pic of the new gun....

Wow, I can see why you are picture happy!! Gonna be a great year for elk antlers, huh? Nice!

LOL!! You crack me up Lark! I am having a good week too!! This week was our wedding anniversary and we enjoyed champagne and all kinds of great food. Been celebrating for days!! Yeah!

my email is listed in the previous post...send your request to: amanda@coueswhitetail.com thx! Amanda

If you need a CouesWhitetail.com sticker for your vehicle, you can now order them in the store. The standard sticker for a vehicle is 30 inches long and white, but I can get them in other colors and sizes. I send the standard sticker unless you specify otherwise... http://store.coueswhitetail.com/coueswhitetail-com-stickers/ After you get your sticker on your vehicle, post a picture of it in the forum and I can add it into the sticker photo gallery If you want the sticker with the deer on the ends, those require a $10 donation. The sticker without the deer is free

yes, bring whatever you want to drink.

I don't think there are any set times. Jim has told me people are welcome to come anytime after noon. I suspect BBQ will be served later in the afternoon... 5 pm maybe?

Well, I was out doing some owl surveys in the Chiricahuas over the last few days. We were done with a predawn survey and hiking down a trail in the early morning, when I see a bear trotting down the trail away from us. it's a small rangy looking cinnamon bear, probably a yearling. So when we get to the spot where I first saw the bear, I stop take out my GPS and am trying to get a signal when I hear the lady who was with us sort of gasp and jump back and say something about a bear being right there! So I look over and there in a spindly pine tree maybe 10 yards from us is a larger black bear halfway up the tree with a small cub above it. The lady who was with us said something earlier about there being a bear with three cubs in the area and so I start looking around for more cubs wondering if we were possibly now between the sow and one of her other cubs. But I can't see anymore cubs, so I get out my camera and snap some pics of this pair in the tree. The sow was obviously nervous and was drooling and making that huffing noise bears do when cornered in a trap or in a tree. It grumbled occassionally too, but it didn't appear to want to charge us, so we were lucky. After a few mins of pics we moved on down the trail. I wanted to get closer for the pics, but it seemed if I did she might come right down the tree and charge me. Cute little cinnamon cub!! and some deer we saw later in the morning:

One problem I see with having a fee with the contest and corresponding money for prizes is that people may just get a little too serious with it. In all likelihood we will have it be an honor system on the score of the bull rather than making everyone get their bull to an official measurer. And I can envision people may argue over scores more if there is money involved. Plus I like to keep everything as free as possible for members. I don't want anyone to feel excluded because they can't afford an entry fee. However, as TAM stated, you are more than welcome to help support this contest by donating to it. That way, the people that can afford to do so can help out the site.

The two tables are full!!
