  1. Took my boys on a backpacking trip deep into Coues country and they did a phenomenal job hiking, and filling their first deer tags. Couldn't be prouder.

     

    Something weird, though. Hiking the deer out, this not so little grub made its way out of one of the deers' nostrils. It was about 1.25" long. Found another one in the cape bag once we got off the mountain. Anyone ever seen something like this before?

  2. CWT Family,

    We are bringing 20 head of quality beef steers off the mountains of southwestern CO, and I would love to provide a 1/4 beef or 2 to CWT members who are interested. They have been Rocky Mountain high their whole lives (not the same kinda high as firstcoueswas80). We plan on having them processed in Queen Creek, available for pickup around the first of Nov. If you're interested in more information, text me at 48O.34l.6354. Thanks!

    ​​​​​​​Bobcat in Anthem attack tests positive for rabies​​

    Tips offered to prevent rare human-wildlife conflicts

     

     

    PHOENIX A bobcat that attacked a large dog and bit a man on the hand in the Anthem Country Club area on Sunday evening has tested positive for rabies.

     

    At 7:30 p.m. Sunday, the Arizona Game and Fish Department received a call that a man was bitten on the hand by a bobcat. The man reported to officers that the bobcat attacked a German shepherd and he was bitten while trying to separate the two animals.

     

    The bobcat quickly fled the immediate area, but was located and dispatched. The animal underwent a necropsy by the departments wildlife health veterinarian and tissue samples were sent to the Arizona Department of Health Services. Results showed it tested positive for rabies.

     

    While bobcats are abundant throughout Arizona including in urban areas they can be aggressive if they become sick, trapped or are defending offspring or a territory. They also tend to frequent habitats where food and water are plentiful, such as in neighborhoods.

     

    Because bobcats are rarely a threat to people and commonly coexist without incident, AZGFD does not routinely relocate bobcats. To discourage bobcats from living near a residence, homeowners should:

    Keep domestic animals such as small dogs, cats, chickens and rabbits, in a secure enclosure with a sturdy roof if outdoors and unattended.

    Keep small dogs and cats indoors, in a secure enclosure or on a leash when outdoors.

    Feed dogs and cats inside or remove any uneaten pet food left outside between feedings.

    Keep the landscaping around your home neatly trimmed to cover to hide. Likewise relocate or remove piles of debris or junk


  4. That's upper hermosa basin. Beautiful area that has some trout habitat improvement projects immediately west of Purgatory. There is a quad trail that goes south for quite a distance that has good access to Hermosa Creek, which is full of trout. Not a bad place to be.

     

    I think we're going to head up and try to find a spot in the forest off some of the creeks West of Purgatory. Anybody been up there?
