    for $3200 i think many nr hunters will look elsewhere for there tags.. if they put in with hef they will have a $3000 guide fee tacked on to the $3200. $6200 is a ton of dough for a elk hunt. espicially since $3200 is up front and held until after the draw. the antelope does seem high for res. but what the heck if you only draw the tag every 10 yrs or so. the $5.00 app thing and the 10% cap ruling hurt the res. this should staighten things out to some extent. i do agree that the res price for cow elk is too high. there might be some reason for this. i am not sure.

    I hunt lions with hounds and believe me the lions aren't eating the spikes and the does. almost 80% of the kills i find are 80 inch plus bucks. i think the reason for this is the bigger bucks are loners and easier to sneak up on. 2 eyes 2 ears and one nose vs. a small group of does and spikes you do the math. i also think that hunters end up harvesting more spikes and weener bucks because they are easier to find in these small groups. i am sure the lions would eat a lot more dink bucks if they had 300 yard range. i bet az guide would agree that most of the kills he finds espeicially coues deer to be above avg. bucks. it's tough to pass up the smaller bucks when a guy only has a few days a year to hunt. it's hard to burn your corneas out sitting behind glass passing up the 60-70 inch bucks looking for something larger. it's hard to pass up a small buck with 1000 tags in a unit knowing the guy across the canyon from you in orange is going to dump him if you don't.

    it's only 550 deeded acres the rest was leased grazing (that was and is still open to hunting). i think with less cattle in there the forage will improve meaning more deer in the short term. they are not planning on developing for a few years any how. there are some conservation groups trying to purchase the ranch so we will see. i wouldn't lose any sleep over it as we could never hunt on the deeded ranch property any how.

    kino springs and south to the border is all private property. all of the land around the golf course was bought by a developer for the estancia yerba buena development in the last few years. i live near the golf course and i don't hunt there. last year 3 archers fron california were charged with trespassing in the january hunt near the ramada. the golf course is under new ownership and is much tighter security wise these days especially after 4 of the the golf course maintenance crew members where busted for smuggling drugs through the property 2 years ago.. the golf course owns part of the way to the border and the buena vista ranch owns everything else south. before you start telling people where to hunt you might want to first check your forest sevice map. green and blue/grey are public and the area in white is private property (just in case you were not sure) :D there are about 100 border patrol agents in that area (along with other various other law enforcment agencies). soooo unless you are trying to get this guy thrown in jail maybe that isn't the best spot. if you know of some public land in there let me know so i can start hunting closer to home. as for a public land spot try hiking in to italian canyon. it is on the washington camp/ duquesne road enter from hwy 82. it is above the buena vista ranch. hike into it in the dark and glass the north west faces in the a.m. you will find bucks :D

    i am a big fan of the stumble technique. i also highly reccmend tossing rocks down into the coulies and draws to flush out those whoppers. firing a warning shot will have a similar effect but is quite a bit more dramatic. just make sure you don't fire 3 shots in rapid succesion or others may think you are lost or in distress and come to your aid. hope this helps.
