"First off there is no "right" to put a camera in the national forest. It is allowed but not a right." I always thought the constitution gave us the right to do anything we wanted until we decide to give the government the ability to restrict an activity. If it is "allowed", then it is our right. It doesn't have to be enumerated in the constitution to be our right. IMHO.

Congratulations and awesome write-up. Thanks for sharing.

Got it Christmas eve from my 88 year old dad. One night of chills and fever that was pretty intense, but felt better a day later. No lasting effects and my dad got pneumonia at the end of his case, but is all better now.

+1 about the genetics. Anybody on CWT would crawl thru broken glass to find one of these, let alone both. Make sure you have a lion tag with you when you go back too.

Great footage and you have an awesome location. Two thumbs up!

Congrats, there's nothing like finding browns.

I have a box of 20 308 Winchester 150 grain power point (sp). WTT for some 357 ?

I painted the exterior of a couple Smittys in the 80's. We painted the red curb in front of the restaurant and strung yellow caution tape about knee high around it and people would step over the banner and right onto the wet paint as we were painting just a few feet away. I think they were drawn by the smell of bacon and left their brains at home.

Another bump for Goodwill. I just picked up a Taylormade r5 dual driver for $2.50. not a scratch on it.

My brother and I drew that tag 2 out of 3 years (2014 and 2016) but this year "I got a rock"--Charlie Brown.

True Grit was my favorite ("Fill your hands you son of a bitch") followed by The Magnificent Seven (the one from the 60's with Yul, not the remake with Denzel).

Nothing here, rats. oh well, big congrats to everyone who gets to do it.

Awesome!! This is why I love trail cameras.

Congrats on your first coues buck, he's a beaut. Love the color.

got home from 23 yesterday and only found one busted tip from an elk (or a unicorn)

112

Congrats on a beautiful buck. Definitely a shooter.

Mine still says I didn't apply. No worries here as the memo from AZGFD states that the portal accounts won't be updated until after tags have been issued, which is April 2nd. They could announce the draw results at any time between now and the 2nd, but it is irritating that they have typically announced results the day after cc updates ended and we are like pavlovs dog awaiting our 'treat' (ie a tag)

Congrats on finding the dead heads, but it looks like somebody needs to hunt lions in that area.

If I were king, I'd get rid of bogus points and have one app, one chance. Even the field for all. Since there are soooo many people trying for such limited tags, if you get drawn, you sit out the next year. Ok, start with the insults, lol.

Awesome buck!!!

I guess it's a dual edge sword when we as hunters gain in numbers to help fight to keep our rights to hunt (and own weapons). Having said that , it kinda takes the wind out of your sails when you see the odds get even worse to successfully draw a tag. SMH.

misery loves company

I'm either gonna be like Ralphie on Christmas morning with my Red Rider or like Charlie Brown only getting a rock for Halloween. Here's to Christmas!!!
