Snapshot

I stopped at the Green Valley MVD today. They do not have the stickers yet, the lady said maybe on Friday. Also stopped by the big atv place on Ina road, they have none either.

I have read that Jim Corbett book a couple of times. He has some excellent stories on hunting those man eating tigers in India.

He could just be a freak, or a young "cactus buck", a castorated deer that will grow freakish antlers. Seeing them in velvet is not uncommon. I have seen small bucks that still had velvet on their antlers just before they drop them in the spring. They are deer that just have not learned to rub their horns.

get as many people together as possible and start a search form the spot he was shot. Search in gradually larger circles, and look in every bush and tree and cut that could hide a buck. If he was shot in the heart, like you said, he probably would not go more than 100 yards or so. With the warm weather you will only have a day or so before it spoils. Take a dog if you have one.

You are welcome to borrow it sometime.

Hooooooeeeeee! What a "muy grande venado". I like red chile tamales with an olive inside, a couple dozen will do nicely! Congratulations!

Happy Birthday, and may all your Pinalmtman dreams come true!

Greetings from Sahuarita land. Its been raining steadily all morning and the temp is dropping and now getting some frozen slushy rain. Hoping it snows. Since I have the day off, and I am feeling lazy, I was hoping to take the quad out and play in the snow if it happens. On the brighter side, if this good winter rain carries over into the spring, it would be a great thing for our deer herds

Awesome!

Sounds like the making of a great party! Happy Birthday y'all

I never need an excuse to have a party

My co-workers nick named me "Bobcat" for the one I ran over a couple weeks ago

I don't want to hang out in your jacuzzi while you are practicing!

The Santa Rita's probably got dumped on, but I can't see the mountains. We got less than 1/2" here. It keeps going back to rain.

Happy Birthday Bro. Hope you have a good one!

That sounds great, as I play rock guitar. Unfortunately, I live about a 125 miles south of you

Excellent present.!

Excellent!

Merry Christmas to to you and yours!

E-Scouters? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! If you decide to come down to the 34A/B region I can show you some good spots to glass and hunt from. I don't know much about the units further north.

Exactly!

Wow, thats a fair amount of snow.

Our kids are 19 and 20, and they live on their own (most of the time) so the only thing that wakes me up are our other children, the cats and dog But I am usually up fairly early anyway. Had a Christmas eve party last night and am just kicking back having some coffee. Merry Christmas!

That terrain looked familiar. I have fished vallecito creek on occasion. Every once in a great while my wife and I get a cabin up at Vallecito Lake. Beautiful area fo sure!

Josh, you are right, that is an awesome "chunk" of great looking country. I hope I am fortunate enough to hunt down there someday. Oh, and by the way, congrats on a very outstanding buck
