If you all want some more. I ran across this site a while back. http://crappytaxidermy.com/archive

The GF approved the new hunt guidelines for 2012-2014, can be found online. We all had a chance to comment on the proposed changes. FYI there will be a 10 day hunt during the 3rd or late November Whitetail hunt.

That was fast. I ordered a Vortex scope, one simmilar to the it sounded like you ordered, two months later and I have yet to see it. Apperently Vortex is backordered on several of their products and their factory isn't making them fast enough. I hope the scope ends up be worth the wait!

108 Lion kill.

If you are concerned about scouting/hunting a burned area you will have a hard time finding a place to hunt. Nearly all the whitetail country in 29 was affected by the fire one way or another some areas were burnt bad while other areas it was just a low intensity fire. As far as the archery hunt. The forest is still closed and probably will be until it stops raining. Call the Douglas FS before you come to see if its open yet.

Hunter, yes we named him Hunter, born Saturday May 21st. Just have to wait a few years before we can start hunting together.

Saw one at St Joseph's hospital (Tucson)Tuesday May 24th. In case you were wondering way I was there. http://forums.coueswhitetail.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=25206&pid=254208&st=0entry254208

I found a coues shed from this year April 15th. Earliest I've ever seen one drop.

Jim Heffelfinger's book "Deer of the southwest" has a chapter all about antlers pluse a lot of other good info.

146 3/8

I use the J34 and like it. One reason I went with that one was the $. I would now consider the gunslinger now that I have an AR but the AR still fits in my J34 but not realy well.

I don't know how many years I've had this camera up at my father-in-laws place, long enough for my father-in-law to claim my camera as his, but this is the best buck BY FAR to come in. Had a few smaller 3-points recently but nothing like this guy. Also have a camera on video mode and got him but he didn't move much and was looking right at the camera. What do you al think he would score. Neat buck with a little character

this do? got several different angles to.

Also had this one in the same bunch. look close

My two best friends. The smaller one Ginger, britney/pointer mix, just turned 10yrs old but still going very strong. The other Dewey, shorthair, has got a bad case of valley fever which seems to have slown him down quit a bit. Just went hunting today and for the condition they are both in they did very well. Looking for a female shorthair to add to the mix.

You might be able to find a browning citori for that price if you look around and take your time. I looked long and hard for mine and couldn't find one less then $1,000 than I came across a good one for $750.

Just thought I would through this out there. Moving and looking for a dog run. Looking for something 6 feet tall and 10x6 feet wide or larger. Cain link panels would also work. Thanks. PM me if you got something.

You guys noticed that Jesse is going out of business?

I had one gun shy dog and helped my brother with his gun shy dog and I did what was mentioned above. Then I did a make it or break it senerio. I took them to a skeet/trap shooting range and let them hear all the shots and see they clay break and they are now anything but gun shy. It would start out slow work up to that point then let them hang out in the parking lot for a while then move them closer. It worked for me but every dog is different. Don't give up on your dog she will probably get over it.

Got in late last night after putting it down at last night on the last day. My wife was hunting with her dad since opening day and her dad shot one on the 5th day, alot like hers but not as wide. I got there to help out that same day he shot his just a little to late to help out. On the last day she finnaly conected, she was looking for anything with antlers at that point. We go into a spot we had seen a group of 5 bucks the day before but cound't get a shot. I located the bucks but they had moved way down into the flats making it imposible to get to them. Started looking around spoted 3 bucks way up high and put a stalk on them. Well they worked over a ridge before we could get to them so we decided to follow and maybe spot them on the other side. Well the other side had NO cover and could not figure out were they went so we just sat there for a while. When we got up to leave I spotted a deer, a doe, and as I was showing my wife were it was she said, thats not a doe thats a buck. Come to find out the does were up feeding and kicked this buck out of its bed. The Buck goes downhill a ways into some trees and never comes out so my wife and I loop around to try to relocate the buck. Get to about 250 yards and I spotted the buck laying out in the open so we get my wife all set up for a shot and waited for him to stand up. We waited for about 30 min he stand and she shoots. The shot looked like it broke one of its back lags but it goes into some brush out of sight. Then the fun part begins. We ended up chasing this buck for about 300 yards into the flats, A few shots later, all at about 40 yards, in the thick brush she had her buck on the ground. She was spent but the time it was said and done. Not to bad for an old man and a pregnant lady, 3 months along. Her dads buck had an outside spread of about 15.5 and hers was a wopping 18 inches.

Good job, Not very many people had success in there this year from what I heard.

If you do see this call the game and fish. I bet most WMs would love to give citations to those people who are deliberately interfering with hunters.

Some good deer in there but VERY limited access.

http://www.garittys.com/ I used this ma annd pa shop a few years back when I had them make an ivory pendant for my wife. Nice old couple that was willing to get my ideas for a design and try to work with it.

My $.02, bucks will apear a little larger later on in the fall as they have tanked up all the energy for the rut. Sure the early archery hunt bucks have the lush green grow up from the monsoon but they have only had that for the last month or so while they are putting a bunch of energy in horn growth. That new set of antlers require almost as much energy for a doe to carey and nurse a fawn. It looks great to me.
