I drew trout, bass, coyote and mountain lion...maybe a fox or bobcat. No surprise

What do you want cash price, I might know someone?

I have mixed emotions. I really enjoyed my trip in Jan down there, but the coming and going left a little to be desired. I'm not entirely comfortable with the situation, you would have to live in a vacuume not to be at least a little concerned.

Sorry to hear that Jeremy, I will definitely keep you in prayer, your wife as well. R

I drew the first season in 23 (non-junior) Have not had a chance to even look yet, maybe a couple of weeks

You are probably right. Hopefully they open it up as soon as it is safe so that folks can get in there. I saw "south of 260" and didn't look at the boudaries carefully and assumed it meant a big chunk of unit 22 and 23.

In the paper today it say's they closed a bunch of the forest. I wonder when the USFS is going to let us back in their forest I hope not May like the article says http://www.paysonroundup.com/news/2010/mar...saturated_soil/

Sorry to hear that Jeremy

That's a lot of load to haul. Good Job!!!

Can't think of a better way to adorn a wall, looks great.

cool mount

Looks cool, would love to go

Since he came from Canada, maybe you could come up with a moose antler instead of the elk...just a thought

wow, just what I was looking for...maybe I can rob a bank or something

I can't believe GH has started this already...tooo funny Good to know there are people as sick as me

Very cool pictures!!!! I'm not too surprised at the lack of deer

I have alway's wanted to try a hunt in Mexico, but have never been able to swing it either because of timing or money. About a week ago I was asked by my friend Ty Goodman if I wanted to go down and help harvest a buck that He and his friend Mark Worischeck had been after for a couple of years, and had recently caught on trail camera. Of course I said...heck yeah I wanna go! We loaded up Wednesday night, spent the night in Phoenix and headed south of the border Thursday at 6:00 AM. We arrived at the ranch house at around 3:00 PM, threw our stuff out and immediately headed out on the quads to go look for this deer. We glassed for about 2 hours and were just starting to talk about heading back when I spotted movement and said "I think I have a pretty good buck", but wasn't sure at that point, so I directed Ty to him and as soon as he saw it his eye's lit up and he said "that's him", Mark ..go get your gun. They headed out to get a shot and I stayed back to keep an eye on him. I watched him chase a doe for about 10 minutes and was caught of guard by the shot 5 minutes later as I was trying to follow the buck in my glasses in the approaching darkness. We could not determine if he dropped or not so they decided to come back in the morning in case another shot was needed. The next morning we went back, glassed for about 40 minutes and then they headed after him. They found him quickly, he died 30 yards from where he was hit. It was a great 200 yard shot getting plenty of both lungs. What a great deer as well, he was a very typical 4X4 plus eyegaurds scoring around 118. This deer will have almost no deductions as you can see by the pictures. We now had time to fill a couple of other tags, one of which would be for me. What an awesome time. They were in full rut, there was never an hour where we were not looking at, shooting, taking pictures of, or dragging a deer. The weather was awesome, unlike the previous week, where they plenty of wind and rain. This was like a dream come true for me after not getting a tag for 5 years to harvest 2 within 30 day's. You better believe I will be going back, even if I have to rob a bank... JK

Nice late season bulls, good job guy's!!!

Wow str8 You are really a glass half full if you think there is any collaboration coming from the G&F for anything other than busting hunters. But seriously, you ask why are people on the defensive, well I for one don't live in a "glass palace". What I mean is I "might" have a couple lion kill skulls with no tag. I "might" have expired tags on my Samurai. I "might" not have a Copper tag on my motorcycle. I "might have too much gun powder for reloading. I "might" have more venison than a G&F think I should have. My kid "might be shooting his bb gun as we speak. Heck, my dog "might" not even have a license. Of course this is all hypathetical. Great points made. I don't buy into the police state, and the end justifies the means mentality. If they have REAL evidence get a warrant and make an arrest, or write the ticket. I am all for stopping poaching and support the fish cops in that regard, but I don't want some yahoo knocking on my door fishing for evidence. That is wrong no matter how you try to justify it. Because you are defensive about this kind of behavior, does not mean you have something to hide, it might mean you enjoy your freedoms and would like your country to remain free and un-invited guests to stay off your doorstep.

Har...I'll tell him.

That's an awesome post. Hope I can hunt till that age...what a tribute!

Awesome buck!!!

Very nice. I would like to see some pictures of the rig you are hunting out of? Tower????? Sounds a little different than what many of us are used to. Regards and congrats

That Chorizo is great...in fact I will be having for breakfast

Great buck Eddie. Congrats.
