The AGFD unit reports are always a great place to start. http://www.azgfd.gov/h_f/hunting_units_24a.shtml

Nice trip report. Surely it was a fun day anyway! Amanda

How to field dress a javelina: http://www.javelinahunter.com/field_dressing.htm

+ 1 I agree with everything Mike says. I haven't had a bad javelina. The big trick is to try and skin them without touching the gland on the back and certainly don't touch the meat if you happen to touch anything musky on the animal (like the gland on the back). I think alot of people try and cut that gland out and you don't have to, just skin it as you would any animal and the gland comes off with the skin. I have marinated them in Lawry's citrus grill sauce and it was AMAZING! I have also done lots of smoked jerky and used them in sausage. Amanda

I think that is the first time I have seen him. I want to go back and check some velvet pics, but this seems to be a new buck. FYI - the buck in the 1st photo is the same as the one in the 2nd photo. He actually seemed to be frightened by the camera. He looked right at it a few times and then there is a pic of him running away. I don't know what that is about since the other deer don't seem to spook with the cam. The little 2 point (3rd photo, daytime pic) comes regularly. I am hoping to learn more about that bigger buck. I put in a 2nd cam in an area with water maybe 1/2 mile upstream from the cam where he was. Not sure if he is spending more time up there or lower. Amanda

Pulled the cards on two cams today and got pics of deer, skunks, birds, coati, fox. These are some of the more interesting ones. Looks like the bigger bucks neck is getting swollen, perhaps the rut is coming....

I will take it, but I am in Globe not Flag...so likely not a good option for you. Amanda

My husband just purchased a used jeep for cheap and he kept pushing me to get a sticker on it. He said his car was naked without it and he refused to leave for his trip to the valley without a sticker, so I finally got my butt in gear and put a sticker on. How's it look?

Maybe he would take a payment plan and you might afford it that way? Amanda

Perfect!!! Amanda

wow, that's terrible. Let's hope he has a good recovery. Amanda

Very Nice pics there Doug!! Amanda

There are some taxidermy shops that carry different sized replica skulls. Here is one that I think is closest to the size of a Coues skull. http://www.vandykestaxidermy.com/product/3...tail-deer-skull You could buy one and have just about any taxidermist mount your antlers to it. I am planning to do that with some of my antlers. Amanda

Well, I wouldn't say we burn through them, but we sure love them. We are a three jeep family now. We didn't need this new one, but it was too good a deal to pass up - $1,000 for a perfectly functioning 4wd vehicle (with AC, his old jeep doesn't have AC since we bought it in Maine). Several of his coworkers have owned it the last many years so he knows its history. He is still driving the jeep we bought new about 20 years ago, it has over 300,000 miles on it and still runs great. None of our jeeps has less than 170,000 miles on it, but of course the important thing is that they all now have CouesWhitetail.com stickers on them!! Amanda

Yeah, you have to have an in with the site owner to get black No, actually you can get those stickers in most any color. White is the most requested and best for most uses, but for like 5th wheels or trailers a colored sticker can be best. I have some dark blue, red, black in addition to the white. And I just got a request for hunter orange, but not sure yet if I can get it. You can see some examples of some nonblack stickers on the sticker page: http://www.coueswhitetail.com/bookstore/stickers.htm Amanda

Wives = Smart women, whom smart men marry to keep them on the right road!! Actually it is because we love our men and want them around for a long time. Tom, Glad to hear that you are better. Did you see that I finally got my Javelina? Take care, Kathi +1

Wow, that's some awesome snow at 5500 feet!! Amanda

Looks Awesome Doug!! I will take several. and thanks so much for your generosity of splitting profit with CouesWhitetail.com If you are interested in buying a calendar, let us know so we can figure out how many to order. The more we order, the cheaper they get. Amanda

Come on folks....pictures, pictures! We just got rain and wind at my house. Pinals got snow, but not enough to get nice pics from here. Amanda

I wondered how high that flood water got on your cam!! Amanda

Nice pics! Looks smaller than an adult, but it's hard to tell scale in the photos. Did you think it was a young one, perhaps born this past summer? Amanda

That's a nice offer and a great way to use the forum. Amanda

Thanks for the reassurance, I wasn't really worried about it until I was talking to my uncle and he was telling me how bad the weather was. Let us know how your cam performs! And just for some more added reassurance, they have a 1 year warranty against any defects so if you have a problem you can return it for a new cam. Amanda

They hold up great in bad weather (if they didn't, I wouldn't sell them). I have been using them for quite awhile now and they do fine in wet weather. They have a rubber gasket to seal out moisture. I have two out right now and they will hold up fine if they aren't blown off the tree!! Right now it sounds like my roof is going to be blown off my house! Amanda

I forgot about those. Would you have any trouble have them shipped for Wednesday delivery? We leave Thursdayt to setup camp. Should be able to go out today and you would have them by Tues or Wed. It wouldn't be guarranteed, but I find USPS is usually overnight or within 2 days if it's in AZ. Amanda
