Those are great Amanda. I will have to take you to another fun area. Thanks for sharing.

By the time August comes new growth will be there and I can promise that deer will once again populate the area. The only bad thing is that everyone will also be in the area. The fire did not do that much damage. All it did was burn the under score which will help with the habitat. It did burn lots of the old pines and some brush but it did not do that much damage. Good luck on your hunt.

Have you ever thought of a bear knocking it over and moving it. Did you look around the area?

congrats. That is a great buck. Your future looks promising little guy.

Here is some pics of the pinal mountain fire just south of Globe, AZ. It has so far costed 50,000.00 to fight they have about 2 helicopters and tons of hot shots fighting this fire. We did take a drive yesterday and got within about 1000 yards from it. It started on May 30 by lightning.

Okay the fire looked as if it was out yesterday morning and yesterday evening this happened within an hour. Just goes to show you that fires are so unpredictable. Globe, Ariz. (June 7, 2009, 1330 hrs.) – Management of the Pioneer Fire operations is being transferred to the Central West AZ team on Monday morning, June 7. This decision is based on the complexity, location and potential duration of the fire. Based on current fire conditions and predicted weather patterns, the fire is expected to continue to increase in size and to burn with moderate intensity. Transition to the Central West AZ team will allow local availability for supporting firefighting operations. Currently, the Pioneer fire is being managed under an indirect fire suppression strategy for firefighter safety due to local topography and weather conditions.

I say we have A coueswhittail.com get together at the pond during archery season. We can camp next to the water ( like everyone else does) because obviously it is ok to do. We can have a big ol BBQ and picknic.

I love the deer peeking around the corner.

Globe has had good rain since yesterday afternoon. I hope it keeps it up we sure do need it.

pigs like it too Javelinas

Here is a video of some bucks at a salt. notice that they are eating the dirt. Coues deer

the link don't work for me?

Try putting the salt into the ground and pouring lots of water on it. From my experience the deer like to eat the dirt more than just lick a lick. Just my 2 cents.

I have a 311 tattoo. Do you know what 311 stands for? Anyway those are some great vids nice job.

That was awesome. You do know he was about ready to go down. But that was great you put another one in him. Congrats that is a great bull.
