Great buck I would of pulled the trigger on him in a heart beat! He looks very symetrical and tall in the picture! I would of guessed 110.

Great bucks!! Love the kickers!!

I thought he was maybe in the 90's. I just could not get a scope on him or glasses due to the position of the sun. My bino's normally are very good at looking in the same direction but the sun and deer were at the same height and direction. (Minox 15X56 bino's) Scope Luepold 6X. So pretty much is was shoot or dont shoot, I decided to SHOOT! Pictured with Jimmy

Well it is acouple weeks away before the late Dec. hunt starts. Did anyone on the Nov. 27th hunt see any rut activity during your hunt. Bucks running with does. Bucks sparing or good scrapes. Hopefully the weather recieved in the lower portion of AZ will help kick it off.

I have been hunting in unit 31. I have not found any wallhangers yet but I still have a few more days to hunt. The Stockton pass area is getting hammerd by hunters there is alot of deer there but you have to fight for a rock to sit on. I might see you out there so good luck. The bucks just started to rut so the last week should be great.

Unit 27. 24, 32, 405rds. Red mountain rd. Double Cienaga. Sprucedale area. All are good if thier is not alot of snow on the dirt roads.

Dec. 19th I found a buck in 31 pushing three does pretty hard right at daybreak. That was the only activity I have seen so far. I will be out again on Sat. and Sunday. Good hunting.

Dog!!! legs are to short. Seen alot of them in 27 and that is not a wolf.

I have the first 11 days of the hunt off and then 3 more days at the end of the season. I have unit 31 so if you see some activity please drop a line and I will try to do the same to help out my peeps. thanks. I am driving a 03 dark gray chevy 4x4 with a couple of dents and some awsome AZ pinstripes on it.

I went out scouting on Saturday and only seen 3 doe . Alot of fresh track right on the snow line. I think we had deer out ahead of us but the terain was to steep we could not see them. I found some very large track in the area and have never seen mullies in that spot so I hope closer to the end of the season I can find the dear that made them. I watched the three does for about 15min and no bucks showed themselves. I know it is early but just puttin some feelers out to the Coueswhitetail peeps. thanks

Thanks for the info. I am going out on Saturday to check acouple of spots. If anyone see's any action feel free to drop a note. Dec. 11th is soon approaching! It is like an early Christmas presant just waiting to be opened!

I was hunting in southwest AZ with my Dad when I was just old enouph to carry a rifle. We got up on a large ridge line overlooking a wide canyon. The sun was just about ready to break over behind us. We could here a vehicle way down below us. The vehicle stopped and my Dad put his binos on it. he could see a plackered on the side of the truck that said Sierra Club. He muttered some profanity under his breath and then said well there goes da hunting. Just about that time the people at the vehicle started banging and making as much noise as possiable and working there way up the canyon. My Dad started glassing out ahead of them and all of a sudden you could see his EXCITMENT as he whispered loudly get your gun! He pointed about 100 yrds in front of us. There were to Whitetail bucks coming straight up a ridge twords us. My dad said take the one in front and I will take the back one. Neither one were big but they both had horns. I let a round fly and watched my deer go down! My dad shot a split seconed after me and his went down! The people in the canyon started yelling green piece profanities at us. My dad yelled back THANK YOU FOR THE HELP! The people then walked back to their truck and left. We proceeded to dress our deer and packed them back to the truck where we were met by AZG&F Mike Wadell to be exact. (retired). He recognized my Dad's old 72 chevy and just went back to his truck stating that some Sierra Club members were trying to report that we were pouching deer.

Late Dec. hunt unit 31! I have not drawn this tag since 1995.

Going down to Rosey Sat night and Sunday. I will let you all know how we did.

There is a jackpot tourney at San Carlos sat morning for any intersted anglers. Launching out of Soda Canyon at safe light. After the tourney I am headed to Rosey to try and get in on some bass action.

NICE TURKEY!!!!!!!!! I HOPE I HAVE THE SAME GREAT LUCK THIS WEEKEND WITH MY 13YR. OLD DAUGHTER AND MYSELF IN UNIT 27.

I recieved a duplicate with a post card saying that I would not be charged due to a computer glitch.

Funny I heard slamming truck doors work too. As long as it is American made.

What are the turkeys responding to the best. Hand or electronic calls? I have a Junior tag and 2 draw tags in camp. I will be there thursday.

I went to San Carlos on Sunday fished from 930am to 330pm. We caught a few bass and crappie. The crappie were caught on small single tail jigs casting to the bank in the backs of coves. The bass were also caught in the back of the coves. We caught bass and crappie that still had eggs.

If the water is not following to fast try a X-rap rapala jerk bait with a green or black back, or a small yamamoto grud in dark colors with aquarter ounce jig head. Bass should be close to spawning.

Anyone been down to lower eagle creek. Leaving friday to try some cat fishin. [a ttachment=13693:121.jpg]

Here are some pics from the trip. Watch the crossings they can get deep.

The trip went well. We got all the vehicles out in one piece. The fishing was ok but not great. We caught a few smallies and some cats. I will try and get some pics up this week for all to see. I did not take my truck either I rode in a modified jeep wagonier.

Bass tourney at San Carlos on March 7th. Anyone catchin bass?
