There are two 'Labs' in that picture!!!!! What an amazing bull! Looking forward to the detailed story. Sincere congrats to Ryan! Thanks for sharing with cw.com! S.

Get in touch with the SCI guys from Tucson. (azsci@yahoo.com) They'll give you the information you're looking for. They run an awesome youth camp! It will be interesting this year, being over Thanksgiving. Typically, there will be some breakfast provided early and burgers/dogs around lunch time. They also like to do a pot-luck at least one night, plus they'll provide other food. Gabe will usually break-out the dutch-ovens and make enough pie/cobbler for the entire camp! Send them an e-mail and they'll give you the details. They're a good group of folks! Good luck to your son! S.

Awesome memories, hunting with your kid(s)! Congrats on the great trip! Thanks for sharing with the site! S.

Way to stir the pot, Lance!!!! S. PS: Go Cats!

Yep, seems like politiions can't say a single thing without it being taken out of context or used as a 'sound bite'. '47% not paying income tax' or 'You didn't' build that....'. Either way, the media (liberal or conservative) is going to manipulate, exploit, twist, and do what ever can be done to spin it to the advantage of their side. Politics truly makes me sick. I agree that it is good he is sticking by his comments and doing his best to ensure folks understand the true message he was trying to convey. S.

Awesome Terry! Congrats to you!! S.

+ One! Brian, thanks much for providing your professional opinion. S.

I have 15s and 10s. Some people I know are going CRAZY for the new Swaro 12s though..... S.

+1 to Tyler, Dave, and the others on observations. Good comments, and a good link. S.

VERY cool!!!!! Congrats and thanks for sharing with the site! S.

You always have some of the best pictures, Doug! Love seeing the pics of the 'adventures of Doug and Rica'! As you know, we lost out little Ruby a couple of weeks ago. Died way too young..... Here's a couple of pics in memorial to her. A lovely and sweet Vizsla, and Greta's best friend! S. PS: Hunterjohnny, sorry for your loss. Tough stuff..... The day we picked her from the litter of 6 pups! Greta has grown a LOT since that day! July 4th, 2010 in Flagstaff! The two of them used to love to hang-out in the grass together! After a fun evening of bird hunting in the fall of 2009!

Thanks for the reply regarding the Junior hunts. Prior to seeing your reply, I called the G&F and confirmed the same thing. Suppose the kids and I will have to stick to does, grouse, and amazing scenery! Again, BIG contrats on an amazing trophy! S.

Wow! Looks yummy! S.

Great pic Doug! How was the grouse hunting? Did Rica have fun? I'll be up there in a few weeks with the kids on the Junior hunt. Will likely throw the shotguns in, just in case. Unfortunately out little vizsla girl passed away a week or so ago, but maybe we can still flush a bird or two in her honor...... Thanks for sharing the pic! S.

VERY COOL!!!!!! The Kiabab buffalo opportunities are an amazing opportunity for those willing to take a chance and put in the work! Awesome! Thanks for sharing with the site. S. PS: Does anyone know off the top of their head, are Jr. hunters allowed to purchase the buff tag along with their deer tags too? Or only Kiabab general tag holders?

I would recommend that you contact the guides/outfitters that are sponsors of this site. Even if they don't do lion hunts, they might have some good referral info for you. S. PS: Check-out Randy E.

AWESOME!!!! Thanks for sharing with the site! S.

Awesome, Tracy!!!!! VERY cool story! Thanks for sharing with the site. S.

Brightly is an AWESOME name! Look at those eyes! What a cutie!!!! Sincere congratulations to you and best wishes for the future! My little girl is a 13 year old firecracker (and deer slayer... ) now and she is giving me plenty of trouble/grief, but I wouldn't trade her for anything..... Hold your breath and enjoy the ride for! S.

"We were pissed when we found out that most all the junior deer hunts are scheduled for the same week of the 5B south cow hunt my father and I drew. Little sister finally showed a true interest in going deer hunting this year (wanted to take her up to 12A-W to whack a doe and see some deer). She'll have to wait another year, hopefully maintains an interest." Yea, that's a tough situation. Used to be that we all put-in for the deer and elk hunts at the same time, but the elk/prong-horn draw has been moved earlier so it can be hard to figure. I kind of like it though, as at least we all know what elk/prong-horn tags we might have prior to making a decision on deer. Luckily, there are lots of other deer hunts to choose from, Jr. or not...... Maybe you can keep her interested by bringing her along for your cow hunt with your father though? The cow hunts are always fun, and at least she can have fun with you two there (whether she is pulling the trigger or not.....). Either way, good luck on your cow hunt and good luck keeping your little sister interested in the outdoors/hunting! S. PS: Coach, seems like a good idea to me! Your sons are blessed to have BOTH of the tags!

If you're in the East valley, the Rim country has lots to offer. Take the Rim road towards Bear Canyon lake. Once you get up the road a bit, pick a 'two track' and follow it. Lots of spots up in that area if you drive around a bit. If you live North or West valley, maybe check-out the Stoneman Lake area or just North of that..... Rocky Park road off of I-17 can lead to some nice spots, but I suppose you'll have to watch-out for the new Coconino camping regulations there so watch-out. I hope you find a good spot! S.

VERY, VERY, Awesome!!!! So happy for you and your son that you had an awesome hunt! I have joined that camp many times over the years, as an organizer (with the ADA), as a volunteer cook/cleaner/glasser, and as a father with kids hunting. Bobby, Gabe, Steve, etc. always run an awesome camp! Kudos to them for doing that, and kudos to you for spending precious time hunting with your son! Thanks for sharing the pic/story! S.

VERY AWESOME!!!! Congrats to you, Tracy, and DILLON!! So cool! Thanks for sharing with the site! S.

Anyone catch Pigman tonight??? CRAZY pig extermination! I think that some folks might have a problem with that show, but I have absolutely no problem what so ever. Looks like the pigs are basically 'vermin' and destroying lots of farmer's crops. Pretty wild watching Ted Nugent go full-auto from a chopper! S.

I've camped and hunted in 36A many times. Sometimes with friends, sometimes with many folks on the Jr. hunts, and sometimes solo. I've never had a problem. (knock on wood.....). There are often a few camps along the Batamote Road if you're looking to camp/sleep in an area where there are others around. In fact, during the Nov Jr. Hunt, the G&F/SCI runs a great youth camp about a mile in from the Arivaca road side..... Some folks also take advantage of the 'pay for camp' facility in the town of Arivaca. Good luck! S.
