Correction. Eli said the top buck was 88 2/8 inches green. With 17 plus horns.

Here's pic's of the two best bucks I found last year. The first buck was killed by one of the auction tag winners and green scored 89 and change I believe. The second buck, which I nick named Fish Hook, was killed by a hunter but I never found out his score. I guessed him in the 86-87 inch range. Fish Hook was the coolest looking buck I've ever seen. I've probably got at least a half hour of video of each buck. It will be fun to see if any bucks with his unique genetic features pop up in the next few years. Both of these bucks lived in the same square mile or so of country.

I live in Prescott, and while I've never seen them from the house I have seen them with in about a two minutes drive. The big bucks will be a lot more visable here in another month or so once they start to pay more attention to the does. For what it's worth there is a great thread every year on the AZOD site where some of the top antelope guides post pic's and info on big antelope bucks. The thread is called "Early photos 2008". A person could learn a lot from those guys over there.

His info under his avatar pic says he's from Paulden. Thats right on the border of 19 A & B and unit 8 is just up the road. There is a good chance he can see them from his house.

Hey Josh do you think that's a Coues or an Eastern?

That makes perfect sense! Those two brothers are DUMB as rocks and fit that stereotype to the T. Good for Pride/Zuffa for dumping him. If the MMA orginizations ever want more main stream sponsors and acceptance they are going to have to prove to the world they are not a bunch of corrupt, drug using, blood thursty thugs. I know they're playing re-runs of that Nick Diaz EliteXC fight. If you missed it, it's worth watching. If for no other reason than to see the HUGE cut get ripped open on his forehead and to watch his little hissy fit after the doc calls it.

What about Nick Diaz? He left the UFC for the EliteXC and then proceeded to smash his face into his opponents fists/knees so many times it ripped a nasty gash the size of the grand canyon above his eye and the doc had to call the fight. Then like the crybaby he is he gave double fingers to the crowd and ran out of the arena crying like a little girl. Sorry I can't remember the other guys name but it was for the new title of that division. I'm really not a fan of either of the Diaz brothers but this one's really got me puzzled??? Why would a pretty solid fighter in the UFC leave for the EliteXC? No surprise that a true 145 pounder like Pulver would go to the WEC so he could fight his true weight class, but Diaz bailing out for the EliteXC doesn't make any sense at all. Probably had something to do with money, but I'm sure all that back fired on him when he lost the title fight. Hopefully Joe Silva and Dana White tell him where the little bear pooped in the forest when he comes begging for his contract back. AMEN to Lesnar vs Slice!!!!!

I've been waiting for this one for awhile. Who's your pic Sunday night? I'm hoping Pulver wipes the arrogant smirk off the face of that Kalifornia pretty boy!

Yep it was a good fight. I was glad to see it go five rounds and at least get a good show. I think Pulver was a little gun shy after getting hit by a couple heavy rights from Faber early on and just stayed to cautious the rest of the fight. I agree about the strikes to the back of the head. Faber did prove that he's got a quick heavy right hand. So if Jens couldn't wipe the cocky smile off the pretty boys face then who's going too? I doubt Cub Swanson could go five rounds with him. For me it's only fun to watch when there is a legitimate challenger and right now I don't see anyone taking the belt away from Faber. What's up with the corn rows anyway? I can only imagine the rotten stench of arrogance emitting from Faber as he struts around his victory party. Someone's gotta deflate that boys ego!

Just got my shirt in the mail today!

Faber could easily step up to 155 and fight in the UFC. That's what Pulver did for years. The decision probably comes down to money. He's probabaly making more money being the top dog in the WEC at 145 than he would if he were in the top ten 155 pounders in the UFC.

Of course I'm putting in. I've never understood why someone would choose to just buy a point for sheep? The odds are so tough to draw that even bonus points do little if any good. Why would someone want to waste a year when it's really just a race against the clock.

I found 5 elk sheds in unit 8 this past weekend. If you added the score of all five sheds it would still score way less than one of those sheds. Amazing!!!

Darn it your too late! I just bought my wife a G27 last week.

There are four species of rattlesnake that you can't kill in Arizona. The Ridgenosed, Twin Spotted, Rock, and Massasauga. All of them life in the far south east corner of the state.

I set up three cameras yesterday and found five brown elk sheds to boot! The weird thing is that I found all five of the sheds at three different dirt tanks just laying there out in the open. Oh, and for what it's worth the elk sheds are all dinks. Three small rags and two spikes.

I'm going out tomorrow to set out a few of my cameras. I like to get them set after memorial day because there will be fewer people in the field to find them, and also because deer really haven't grown enough antler until mid june to start telling if they are shooters or not. I'll probably leave them out for at least 2-3 weeks.

I just picked up another brick of 1000 of the Fed 215's at the Sportsmans Warehouse in North Phoenix, but they didn't have any of the 300 RUM Brass.

Not a drop of rain so far up here on the north side of Prescott. Funny how certain parts of the state can get dumped on while others get nothing!

Things like this just go to show you that it's always good to have a little stock pile...... Or a big one!

Ok, I guess I'll be the gineau pig on this one. I just ordered one. It came to $20 with the shipping. I'll let you all know in a week or so how it turns out.

Hey Casey I'm not interested in the knife, but if you've got any Ten Dollar bills I'll gladly give you $9 for them?

Just checked out three gun shops here in Prescott yesterday and none of them had the 215 mag primers. If you find them you'd be wise to buy everything you can! This has been going on since at least last summer, and there not getting any easier to find.

Don't drink the kool-aid Lark!!!! I saw this on the news last night and from the report I listened to they came to this decision because there has been a large decrease in the pack ice in the artic. I didn't hear one word about the bears numbers actually decreasing or the bears actually being on the decline. Just a lot of talk about the pack ice melting and that the bears could all be gone by 2050 if something isn't done about it right away! Sure whish we could get such a quick response from our politicians when it comes to other issues like Social Security, Illegal Immigration, Oil prices, etc. They want to micro manage bears in the artic, but no body can make a single effective decision about protecting our borders. What's up with that?

What a waste of time and money? I wonder who's paying the bill for the government agency that is conducting the testing of the bullets.
