  1. I glassed up a mulie buck similar to that 2 years ago. I called it the paddle buck because the left antler went straight down and looked like a paddle. the other side was a perfect 4 point. The paddle even covered his eye a little bit, so i thought he might be vulnerable to predators. Always wondered if he got harvested or if not, what his left antler looks like today


  2. Morgan drew a fall Javelina tag in addition to a Youth Deer Hunt around Thanksgiving. We used this hunt as a tune-up for his deer hunt. He did real well for his first big-game hunt. No complaining and he even hauled the pig out on his shoulders. Congrats Mo! I am really proud of you!

     

    Another hunter is hooked for life!

  3. A man who shot and killed a female Whitetail deer about 10 miles north of Sonoita is being sought by Arizona Game and Fish officials for poaching.

     

    Game and Fish spokesman Mark Hart says the doe was shot and left in the field on Nov. 6 near the Davison Ranch.

     

    A man in his mid-20s who used a tan shooting stick to prop up his rifle is being sought. He was accompanied by a man in his 40s and one in his late 20s.

     

    The men were camped on Davison Ranch Road in Davidson Canyon and driving a red 1990s Ford two-door pickup and a white 1990s Ford two-door pickup.

     

    The department is offering a $1,000 reward for the information leading to an arrest in the case.

     

    Anyone with information is asked to call 1-800-352-0700, anonymously if need be, and reference OGT #11-001759.

  4. This is sad for the ranchers, the long-time stewards of our land. Southern AZ ranchers have been battling loss from lions, drought conditions, high hay prices. Liberals are soon going to make the cost of ranching unprofitable and turn the southern arizona ranches into lot splits because that will be the only way ranchers can make money. Just wait, the Jaguar will be listed and the wolves released and we won't be able to overturn a freakin rock down south, let alone hunt. I am sorry but I know this government too well, they piss on private property rights and the elite liberals would like to eradicate humans from the environment because we are the cancer in their eyes. I am sad for my children.

  5. Hey everybody thanks for the help:

     

    I took a little bit from everyone and they turned out delicious, here's what I did:

     

    The crawdads were dead when I transported them, but they miraculously came back to life when I got to the cabin ;)

     

    I boiled the resurrected crawdads with some salt for about 4-5 mins

     

    Then I pulled their head off and peeled the shell off the tail end. I found that you could grab the exposed intestine and pull it out in one piece. Then I washed them off good with water and threw them in a sautee pan.

     

    I threw in couple slices of butter and two cloves of garlic and sauteed them. They were delicious. If I had to do it over again, I would try to catch at least 100 'dads to make a decent appetizer. It was a lot of work for very little gain.

     

    Plus the 'dads in the Creek are not as big as those in the lakes.


  6. I'm selling my 2005 F-250 King Ranch. The truck has been awesome, but I've recently moved to Chile and no longer need her! The truck has the 6.0 Powerstroke, XM radio and a B&W rollover gooseneck hitch. I've already moved, but the truck is in East Mesa if you'd like to take a look. I'm asking $21,000 obo. Email me at alex.kanon@gmail.com if you are interested.

     

    Thanks!

    4WD or 2WD?


  7. I had the same predicament as you in Dec 08. I made the wrong choice. I hunted the week before Christmas and wish I would've waited for the following reasons:

     

    1)The weather was warm in Dec 08 and didn't cool down until Christmas - in fact I didn't see any rutting activity until the 23rd. All my friends who hunted after Christmas saw rutting every day.

     

    2)Too much spousal pressure for you to end your hunt and get home with the family.

     

    Case in point I ended up settling for a much smaller buck than I wanted after waiting 6 years to draw the tag.

     


  8. I feel you man...I've been there. Last year for example.

     

    Great story, I think sometimes we expect that all the stories need to be about success, but you certainly highlighted some of the many things we take for granted when we are so focused on tagging our trophy coues - the landscape, the other wildlife, the solitude we have away from the daily grind. All wonderful things.
