The best trophys are the one that die near a road! Hope you find him soon. Get that skin of ASAP and you'll have a year of good eating! Congrats! Schmitty

Heck of a nice buck! Congrats!!!!!

Love the Skynyrd!

Sorry for my lack of camera skills! I wasn't as concerned as I should have been about getting it all on film. As I believe you can hear me say on camera (with a little editing for the children) "Just $#@#@ kill him, don't worry about me or the camera!" I'll do better on the next go round. We had a great time and ended up sharing camp with the folks/outfitter who purchased the Landowner tags. They were extremely gracious, and great all around folks to be around. There weren't too many big bucks around, but I can't imagine having a better time. We accomplished what we set out to do, which was to see some new country, have as much fun as possible, and to make good clean kills. Both bucks were on ice within 45 minutes of being shot and have provided some mighty fine eating for our families. Finding ourselves done by noon on opening day, we took the scenic route home roaming thru the high country of northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. Talk about some pretty country! Next time I'm throwing in a fishing pole! Good times were had by all and I apologize if videos of my ugly mug damage your computer screen! Shoot straight! Schmitty

Thanks for the sharing and congrats on sharing a great moment with your son!

Thanks for posting some incredible artwork and that is one SICK buck! What's the story on the deer? Is this for a private residence? I'd love to see it in person. Schmitty

Awesome Bull! Congrats to all on a job well done!

Bill and Tony, Great reading and thanks for the history lesson! thanks, Craig

I've spotted Illegals top to bottom of the unit in the flats and along the peaks. Whether it's too dangerous is your call as there is inherent risk in all you do. As for big bucks, they are spread throughout the unit as well in the flats, foothills and mountains. The biggest issue with 36C is limited access points pinch most hunters into similar locales. Be prepared to do alot of walking in the dark and stay out all day. Have fun, Schmitty

Depends on the year and where you hunt. There are a bunch of tanks and you should be able to find a couple to have to yourself. Traffic really decreases after the first weekend. If you only have one week to hunt, I'd suggest the 2nd week as you'll only have 1/4 of the folks and the rutting action is typically better. good luck, Schmitty

Man, That's alot of critters right there! Are you going with all European mounts? Looks like a heck of a good time! take care, Craig

Pretty amazing that 400 acres on the Coconino could burn right now. Just went for a hike in the PNF and there's still water running down most decent drainages and plenty of standing water.

I'll take both stocks. PM me with details. thanks, Schmitty

Pretty impressive, but pales in comparison to the gal up here that ran the mile plus back to her car w/ a rabid fox attached to her arm. She even got a spot on Letterman! http://www.dcourier.com/main.asp?SectionID...ArticleID=61023 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZfsAykwyS4

If it were a bean and cheese burrito from Chile Pepper/Mr. G's down in Yuma I might be inclined to believe you. The Yuma guys know what I'm talking about! But from Taco Bell??? Might be good on day 5 of a backpack trip!!! Can't deny the quick, cheap and easy though!

What are the specs on the wood handled knife? blade length, steel, etc. thanks, Schmitty

I just leave "the claw" attached to my rifle and when it's time to shoot, I pull off the optics and slide the claw in. Takes about 10 seconds and is comparable to a bipod in steadiness. (only with the bogen 701HDV head) I've not had an opportunity to use it on deer, but a few coyotes have bit the dust out to 400. Hope this helps. Schmitty

SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me know what size/what you want for the red wing chukkas

Way to stick with it. I can't wait until my girls are old enough to join me in the field. Anytime I find a story of a Daddy/Daughter hunt trip I bring them over to the computer to check it out. Congrats! Schmitty

Go to the beauty supply store and ask for "40 volume" peroxide. You can brush that on pretty heavily and set it out on a nice sunny day. You might have to repeat once or twice, but that will get you plenty white as long as the skull has been thoroughly degreased. Good luck! Schmitty
