    Hey All,

    I was the lead editor for the 2020 edition of the Records of Arizona Big Game.  This was the Golden Anniversary edition since it has been 50 years since the recordbook was established in 1970.  This is the oldest running recordbook in the United States and this latest edition is a great one (if I do say so myself!).  We decided to do full color and it's loaded with hunt stories, tributes to wildlife conservationists that we have lost since the last edition, several thought-provoking articles and a bunch of great photos of spectacular animals.  

    If you would like to purchase a copy, it's available on the Arizona Wildlfe Federation's website: 

    https://azwildlife.org/Sys/Store/Products/240803

    I know several of you collect specific book numbers, and we try to hold those numbers every edition for you, but it's getting harder to hold the numbers as we sell more and more books, so please, if there is a certain number you have been collecting for years, protect it by ordering today!  Thanks!

    Amanda

    Darren Freestone has created another great calendar for us Coues fans!  Each month features an excellent Coues Buck photo in addition to moon phases and any Arizona hunt application deadlines.   Darren has been making these calendars annually for many years now and they are always great.  They make great gifts for your hunting buddies! 

    Thanks Darren for another great calendar!

    Unfortunately, I am having issues with my regular CouesWhitetail Store, so I put these calendars for sale in my Etsy store for now.  Price includes shipping.  My Etsy store isn't really a hunting store, but has a bunch of my night sky photography and you might find some nice gifts for your wife there!  Hopefully I will be designing some hunting apparel there, but don't have any yet in the store.  

    Free shipping. 

    link where you can purchase the calendar in my Etsy Store:

    and this second link is to my main Etsy store where you can view all my items...in case you are interested.

    Tony Mandile was a long-time contributor to this forum.  He passed away yesterday morning from complications from COPD, Covid and an infection he got while at the hospital.  His wife, Ellen, also got sick about the same time and spent time in the hospital, but is recovering at home.  His family says he did not wish to hold a service, but I wanted to share with you all some more about his background. 

    Tony went by the handle Outdoor Writer in this forum as well as other hunting forums.  He made a living as a professional write for almost 40 years and he was a wealth of knowledge about the outdoors.  I enjoyed my conversations with him and he will be missed.   Tony and his wife attended some of our CWT campouts so many years ago.  In addition to being a hunter, he was an outstanding photographer and he enjoyed cooking some excellent meals, which he often shared on Facebook.  Many of you have enjoyed the book he co-wrote with Duwane Adams, "How to Hunt Coues Deer".

    He hunted and fished in 39 states and 10 Canadian provinces. He also hunted and fished in Africa, New Zealand and Mexico.

    Mandile began a part-time writing career in 1969 and has been a full-time freelance outdoor writer/photographer for 38 years. His 30-year active membership in the Outdoor Writers Association of America (OWAA) included three years on the board of directors. He also served on the board of the Western Outdoor Writers (WOW) and the Professional Outdoor Media Association (POMA), which he helped create in 2005. He was a contributing editor for ARIZONA HUNTER & ANGLER magazine for 10 years, and wrote seven years as the Arizona Editor for OUTDOOR LIFE magazine. Mandile wrote his book -- HOW TO HUNT COUES DEER -- with noted guide Duwane Adams in 2003, and the Arizona Game & Fish Commission selected him as "Outdoor Writer of the Year" for 2011.

    More than 2,100 of his articles and 1,300 of his photos (50 covers) have appeared in OUTDOOR LIFE, FIELD & STREAM, SPORTS AFIELD, CABELA'S OUTFITTER JOURNAL, PETERSEN'S HUNTING, PETERSEN'S FISHING, AMERICAN HUNTER (NRA), DEER HUNTING, ROCKY MOUNTAIN GAME & FISH, CALIFORNIA G&F, WASHINGTON-OREGON G & F, ARIZONA HIGHWAYS, NORTH AMERICAN HUNTER, WHITETAILS UNLIMITED, NORTH AMERICAN WHITETAIL, OUTDOOR PHOTOGRAPHERS BIBLE, PENNSYLVANIA ANGLER, ROCKY MOUNTAIN SPORTSMAN, WESTERN OUTDOORS, BOWHUNTING WORLD, SOUTHWEST SPORTSMAN, SAFARI, ARIZONA WILDLIFE VIEWS, ARIZONA HUNTER & ANGLER, OUTDOORS UNLIMITED, several books and a few dozen other outdoor, conservation and travel publications.

    Rest in Peace Tony.

    when you are logged into the forum, click on your name in upper right corner of forum to show the dropdown menu.  Click on account settings and then look to the right hand side for "Notification Settings", click on that and click on "do not send me notifications".  Look over the other options in there too and set them accordingly.

    I received an similar email that included seven other members that I did not recognize. Logged in and didn't find anything out of order. Looked up the name ( Elisio ) that sent the message and found no results. 

    Do admins want a copy of that email note?    

    We probably don't need a copy of it if you log in and it's already not there....that probably means Stan was able to delete the member and related messages before you logged in to check it out.  Thanks for your quick action Stan!  :)    but if you get an email about a private message and it seems it has not been taken care of, then you can let Stan or I know and we can take care of it.  Thank you.

    Thanks for the reply. I figured with "Great Buck" as an option, "SPAM!" could be too but I definitely understand.

    Yes, you are correct....I can probably create a SPAM reaction button, like I did for the Great buck reaction button.  But I am not sure how that helps since it would not notify the moderators like the report button does.  Reporting a post would fix the problem more quickly because we would get notified of the problem.

    Hey All,

    Forum member Darren Freestone has put together another great Coues Buck Calendar for us!

    The calendars feature excellent photos of Coues Bucks for each month. And they have moon phases as well as the date that hunt applications are due for Arizona. 

    If you are interested in getting one, they are available in the CWT store. I only have a limited quantity, so if you want one, better jump on it soon. Calendars are $20 plus shipping.

    My cell phone pics of the calendar pages are a little fuzzy, but the calendar looks great and is well printed.

    Happy Birthday Amanda!

    Any chance your name was influenced by this:

     

    Hands down the only thing I think of when I hear your name.

    Not sure the song influenced my name, but I certainly had people sing that song to me a lot when I was growing up!

    Thanks so much for all the wonderful birthday wishes!  I indeed had a great birthday....actually it was more like birthday week filled with glassing, camping, fall foliage trips, great meals with friends and more.  It was great!  Thanks to you all for your kind thoughts and birthday wishes, I appreciate it :)

    Is there a set of rules for conduct when buying/selling in the classifieds?  I just did a cursory view on the site and couldn't find what I was looking for.  I recently had a deal go sideways with a newbie seller who didn't understand an "I'll take it" post in his thread.  Losing out on the deal was minor compared to the amount of time I wasted putting my schedule on hold (it meant a couple hour trip to pick it up from him) , waiting for him to respond to me.  When I told him how things normally work on the site, I wanted to refer him to some ground rules as to how we operate.  Do they exist, or is it something we have informally made up and others learn over time by being on the site?  I'm talking about such things as an "I'll take it" posting in a thread, or how a posting in the thread takes priority over a PM, etc.  Inquiring minds want to know......

    No, there are no rules governing how a buyer and seller come to terms and handle the deal.  There is a rule of no commercial sellers in the classifieds...it's intended to be for private sales, so hunters can buy and sell gear their gear.
