I can't believe you forgot - har har - How do you get a UA grad off from your porch? Dee Da Dee - Pay him for the pizza! Hopefully Bryson you are an alumni. The majority of the "UA fans" I have to put up with down here in Tucson have never even registered for a class.

Omaha here we come. Now it is time for the real college world series to begin.

all I know is that football is the most important sport to a school's athletic department and the sUrryA has never even been to a rose bowl. pretty sad. dont see it anywhere near in their future neither. nothin like hosting a super regional to hopefully advance to the real college world series. go DEVILS!!!

will be in a white dodge quad cab with a white shell camper. might be off from 117 on friday. might be up by big lake friday - monday. might be somwhere else. dont know for sure.

Nice job! Looks like I will avoid the 117 road this friday. Chris.

what casey, you dont eat mac and cheese and ramen when you are out hunting? Jim feeds you to good!

my favorite part is finding out - 'you were not drawn for A, you were not drawn for B, you were not drawn for C' - NOT - so much for opportunity. seriously, there are several things I enjoy about hunting. one is the challenge. I am a competitive person by nature and the challenge of hunting these little deer is addicting. finding a good buck and successfully harvesting him is like winning the game. one of the others is similar to what others have mentioned, getting away from it all. after being away for a couple of hours, all the worries of life are left behind. when I am gone I miss my family and think of them often but the ability to get away from the rest of it is great. like casey said, when I am sitting behind my binos, I am locked in and focused on trying to find bucks. finally, I tend to eat better when I am out in the field than when I am home (dont let my wife read this).

I am not a photobucket expert. In fact, all the video of mine that is on photobucket has been emailed to other people and they have uploaded it to their photobucket account. It is my understanding that if you open access to allow everyone to view, it is for everything and you can not restrict what can and cant be seen. it is either all or nothing. hope this helps. chris.

nice to see you figured it out. nice buck also. a couple of things to keep in mind for future filming. you might have already thought of them but my buddy and I had to learn the hard way so now sense in recreating the wheel. 1 - try to get your recorder mounted onto your tripod. 2 - turn you digital zoom off. 3 - check into getting a doubler. it attaches to the outside of the recorder in front of the lens and doubles your magnification. if your recorder is 20X it will now be 40X and a lot clearer than the digital zoom. they cost about $40. good luck and thanks for sharing. chris.

most cam corders today are the mini dv (mini tape) recorders and the footage stored on the tapes can be transferred and stored on a computer hard drive. you will need your cable to connect the cam corder to the computer and you will need to have the software on the computer that takes the footage off from the tape and writes it to your computers hard drive. OR - you can send me the tape along with the GPS coordinates of the buck you filmed and I will take care of it all for you. good luck. chris.

your cam corder should have come with a cable and some software to download footage to your computer. once you get the footage on your computer you should have a still image function which will let you save one frame. that image could then be uploaded here. also, pick out the best 20 - 30 seconds and save that separately. 20 - 30 seconds will be about 3 meg. you can then upload that to photobucket or email it to someone who can. good luck and NICE buck! chris.

Gotta love our sourthern neighbors. http://www.azodchat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13688

aside from the bright red lipstick - this is also one of my more favorite trophy photos. this buck was a true team effort. I glassed it up, Scout'm took the pic and his step brother was the shooter. later.

two wholes? doesnt two wholes make a half? nah just kidding. two nappy headed wholes maybe! Poor Imus. later.

Hey Jim - thanks for all the input. I do have a couple of questions. First - is the 138 deer sample from unit 31 really a valid sample size. I read your post in the other thread about buck to doe ratios but personally think 138 is a little low. I could be wrong - it has been awhile since I took a stats class. Second - what is wrong with having the youth deer hunts in the southern units over Thanksgiving weekend? Third - isn't the youth harvest percentages you listed a pretty good correlator/indicator to the health of the mule deer herds on southern AZ? Thanks Chris.

nice find - to bad though, that would have been a really nice buck in another year or two. what do you use to get the skull cap so brite white and shiny? I have used peroxide on all of my euros and skull caps but it never comes out that white and shiny. thanks. chris.

Doug - you forgot about the addition 75 youth tags! how did that slip by you? Jim - any info you can provide on the rational between the indicators and the recommendations would be greatly appreciated. thanks. chris.

thanks Doug - I was wondering the same thing. Chris.

Scott - better take a picture of the floor. nice and picked up. before you know it, it is going to look like a tornado ran through toys r us. i just had to walk around some train pieces, a trike, plastic easter eggs, miniature baby stroller, etc, just to get into the room where my computer is. better hope you dont have a little girl to explain the blue coloration on that monkey to. was your gemsbok a cow or a bull. from what I have learned so far the bulls are shiny black so I would guess that one is a cow. maybe I can come over sometime and check it out? how long are the horns? finally, those nelgai sure are funky looking animals. sure are tough from what I hear. just kind of weird to have such a big animal have such short horns. anyway - thanks for sharing. Chris.

here is probably my favorite trophy pic. there is one or two other pics of this deer I know other people prefer but this is my favorite one. the second one is probably my next favorite one of Juan.

you guys are DOGS! how many points did you have? I put in for that hunt with 13 points and didn't get squat. congrats anyway. good luck. chris.

DOG! How many points did you have? This is the hunt I put in for with 13 points and guess what - ZILCH. Congrats and good luck. Maybe I will draw next year and you can share the wealth. Chris.

christian - we first have to get drawn. then we all know finding big bucks on a scouting trip is a whole lot easier than finding them during the season. we are trying to concentrate on areas that may get less pressure and then go in there and see what kind of deer the area holds. sure wish we had got a better pic of that buck. his mass was incredible. so were his G2s. he looked kind of weird broadside because his mainbeam curved in real hard while his G3 went forward and from the side looked to be longer than the main beam. still can not get over the fact we saw 2 turkeys in this area. we were a long way from pine trees. later.

here is some info on unit 1 from another site. http://www.monstermuleys.info/dcforum/DCForumID12/7501.html
