230 grain Wensel Woodsmens. Almost 100% pass thrus.

Atta Boy Tyson!!!! Now go get that buck!!!

Kid Rock ain't got $hit on your Avatar!!! -LOL- Congrats again on the Buck. My toes are still cold from that hunt dude.

He is the Access Coordinator for Region Five. His name is Matt Walton, and works in the Tucson Branch G&F. He will be the most up to date on the situation.

All right guys let the scolding begin . Dogman and I took our hounds out and got the winter season started off right!! Just to bad we didn't have a hunter with a tag that wanted to shoot it? Got some good dog work in and turned the Puma loose. It's prolly chewing on a Coues buck right now

Good point Shortpants. Maybe they were lost and needed the batteries out of the Cam to run their GPS?

Found this horn hanging in a bush this weekend, thought you folks would enjoy.

With the rut kicking in and all, I'm guessin the poor guy just had a serious case of Blue Balls!!, lol. Elkhunter you crack me up!!!

Weiss- That is a stud buck!!! Congrats buddy, you have worked hard for a nice Coues Buck.

Congrats on the Buck!! That's great you got to share it with your Pop's and friend.

Thank you ThomC, that's what I was gettin at. I agree Breezy, every deer hunter should get a few hound pups and teach them to track lions. heck, just turn em loose in good deer country and they're lion dogs in no time, from what I hear.

Good for you buddy.

"Hey Little Bear, sounds like you work for our wonderful Game and Fish Dept. Your response sounds exactly like every conversation I have had with Game and Fish officials. Not just with the lion problem but with the decline of deer herds, over hunted areas, and other topics. Our Game and Fish Dept. cares about "MONEY" and nothing else. So if anyone thinks they can count on your Arizona Game and Fish Dept. to take care of a problem, think again. Unless they can find a way to make big money on a problem, the problem doesn't exist." Hawkeye- The biggest threat to Az wildlife is the uneducated public (like you) that make statements like you just did. If you got it so figured out, we need you in our AZGFD Commission!!! Nahh, it is way easier to sit back and complain and do nothing. I'm sure "Deernut" feels real welcome on this site with you making statements like that.

Cool Picture!!! He's in trouble come next fall!!!

There is no way to accurately measure which of the factors has the greatest impact. We deer hunters glass up lions stalking deer and automaticaly the lions are to blame for the deer numbers. What about the rain fall patterns? What about the houses now in the middle of deer habitat? And we haven't seen any Biological proof of this "sharp increase" in lion numbers you talk of? If you think because we hear of more hunters seeing more lions means their numbers are up is a stretch. Could it possibly be the WAY (optics, cameras, ect.) deer are hunted today allows us to see more lions? Or maybe the fact that it is so easy today to hear (technology, i.e. this website) about what others are seeing on their hunts fool us into thinking there are more lions?

Guys-- Its been shown time after time that the lions aren't "wiping out" the deer herds. There are far too many factors as to what makes deer populations fluctuate. Drought, coyotes, habitat loss, and urbanization are a few. It's not as cut and dry as "kill all the lions and the deer herds rebound!," it might help in some areas, but the efforts to carry out such an eradication to make all the deer hunters happy would far out weigh the benefits.

Cool Pics. The one of the buck under the Oak is a classic.

That's a smokin deal guys. If I was in the market for a quad I would not pass this up!!!

This is the only one I have heard of. Taken this year in Southern Az.

Boy stuff like this sure gets me hot!!! I'm sorry you folks have had to deal with these kind of situations. All I can do is think people like these theives will get what's coming to them someday, just a matter of time.

ALL RIGHT!!! More lion food

Are you gonna change your name now to "Secondcoueswas50"?

That's the exact sound (the growling) I heard as that doe put the hoofs to Becker!!!! It was hard to hear the growling though over my laughter
