Congrats! Nice looking first buck - Im happy to see youngsters having success!

Watch out for the Klumps - they claim to own property that has been disputed in the past and have even confronted the BLM. Other hunters have had bad experiences with them also. Seem like good ol boys but they don't trust anyone anymore - See this article

That's some thick country! Congrats and welcome to the club.

Are you just window shopping? There are some huge toads on SNPE - can you leave a trail of corn for him leading right into unit 33?

Awesome. My little girl is only 2 and I doubt my wife will ever let me take her hunting when she's older. I took my wife predator calling one time...bad move. She was a pain in the *ss. Of course that's what I get for marrying a city girl.
Good job Pops on gettin her out there.

Wow! I'm jealous. Hope there's still some big ones around for my late Dec tag

Nice video - well put together. It sure looks like one of my favorite areas in 33.

I'm guessing that you are talking about coues...I haven't taken an archery buck yet but I have gotten more stalks in unit 36C than any other southern unit. I had a stalk 2-years ago on a nice 3x4 buck in 34A and a late season rifle hunter practically shot him out from under me (exaggeration) actually I was on the ridge planning my approach when the ground underneath me shook - I wasn't in view of the buck yet, but I was sure ticked off. I thought for sure those rifle hunters saw me on the ridge.
Funny thing, I went up and talked to them and watched them field dress him and begin to haul him out - never once did they put a tag on him. I was going to bring it up - but decided that they had rifles and I only had my bow so I better be quiet.

Legend has it that the spirit of Cochise still hunts those sacred mountains and only allows those hunters who have done their homework to actually see a nice buck.

0% success on Carp and you want to try the "gray ghost?" Just so you're clear - you are stepping up the difficulty by huntin' coues - it's not getting any easier.
Glass, Glass, Glass and then Glass some more. Then start really glassing and quit moving around. Stay put and stay out all day.

I found the Premier Scirocco Bonded 180 grain with polymer tip but it comes in 3 power levels. If I'm shooting coues at long range which power level do I want?
-
Took my very first buck 12 years ago in that same area. Way to go guys.
-
Nice bucks - Nice Country. I can verify the grass is sometimes shoulder high. That will be my home unit soon.
-
Nice first coues. Looks a lot like my first coues.
-
I like that wide spread. I'd take that buck over a skinny spread with longer tines anyday. Good job.
-
Way to go. Looks like the 3x3 I shot last year.
-
Thanks for your input everyone. I just noticed there is a gun show coming up at the Pima County Fairgrounds on Nov. 1-2. I'll have to look for that 150 grain Scirocco. I guess I could also look at Sportsmen's.

Just got my .300 Ultra Mag back from the smith (equipped with muzzle brake) and I need some advice on what brand and grain should I be shooting. I grew up on a .30-06 and always used the standard Remington 125 grain core locket point. The only Remington box I can find in Ultra Mag is 200 grain. I'd rather have the smaller grain if available, for velocity - I'm not hunting elephants.

KP Hunter,
You might try the country north of the Bar-V ranch between I-10 and the northern end of the Empires. I saw two 4x4 mulies, the bigger one scored about 160". There are some hills and points to glass from - they are running in bachelor groups.
-
Errrrr.....There aren't any deer in the Empires. Never seen any...uhhhh...never killed one....uhhhh...there is "No Deer Allowed" signs all over the place.
-
Good job bro - wish I could've been there
-
Nice Buck Chris! Hope you waited to skin it and quarter it right on Lance's front porch.
Scott (Lance's bro)

Nice deer for your first. It all pays off doesn't it?
-
Congrats! Nice looking buck - good eating too.

Last year at this time someone posted a picture of their "fantail" that they harvested on the coast of Mexico. If I could figure out how to use the search function - I could probably find it. It was tiny - and I believe he harvested it by the coastal area.
I'll do some more looking
