I know of quite a few areas to glass, that doesn't mean the best way to find the bulls in the late hunt would be to glass. IMO it is one of the least productive ways unit wide, not saying there are not one or two areas that may be productive.

Used to be quite a few Coues within a few miles of Heber, I don't doubt it was a Coues, but I don't know, but man when I got those emailed to me, my heart stopped.

My uncle shot this bull in the late hunt two years ago. Disregard the cut throat, he heard about it from me when I got to him 5min after the shot. Notice the PJ's in the background... Bull is 365-370 ish, I can't remember

In most units I would agree with the below posts... In this unit, it is very difficult if not impossible to find areas to glass. The burn has done some good for thinning things out, but it can be a tough hunt, especially for glassing. Plan your scouting trips now.. Spend time in the PJ and thicker canyons (low country) look for tracks etc... Your scouting efforts during the rut will be worthless. Alot of bulls will come over from the White Mtn reservation during the rut but during the summer and winter move into the deeper, isolated canyons of the rez. The areas south of 260 will be hammered..Hunt the PJ's you will have more luck locating bulls, and the competition will be less. My wife shot this bull in a Nov. hunt a few years ago. One of two bulls we saw in 4 days hunting, I come from 4 generations of citizens of the metropilis of Clay Springs so we know the area a bit, there are some great bulls there in the late hunt, just don't think it will be as easy as the rut hunts. Be prepared to scout alot and do some walking. You have a good tag, good luck. PM me and we can talk a bit more. Houston +1 When you plan your scouting trips- Double them When you think you have classed enough- Double it Be in shape for a Quick move to get a shot. If you find a shooter figure him out the best you can and be in position WAY before daylight, You are Not the only one who knows about him. Have a couple back up Bulls. Welcome and good luck

Texas Tom and the other lil' critters

Nice Job, I still haven't shot one with my bow...Oh so close, but that is one tough hunt...Great job... -
Thanks guys, good quick hunt, but good to get away. YH- I was shooting a cheap mechanical for turkeys, Firstcoues really wet and muddy, hair was in good shape. We even had a bit of snow flurries.

Probably my favorite hunt, means alot since I shot and missed at this buck in Sept. archery, and killed him in Nov. I did this during my 2nd year of dental school. I also shot this bull during dental school, waited 12 years 9bp to draw in my home unit. Here he is on the wall, not the best taxi work though...

Jason- What a great buck congrats to the hunter, glad you finally got the pictures posted.

What a stud buck, that thing is a hog and much bigger in person...I think I might have to come by again, just to check him out. Houston

Operation Bear Bones
WHT_MTNMAN replied to CouesWhitetail's topic in Political Discussions related to hunting
.270 I know what ur talking about.. I grew up in show low, know most of the guys around and witnessed some of RV ball players get kicked off for some of those episodes bout 15 years ago or such but it seems that was about it. Hopefully it doesn't get worse. I do agree with the $25 fine that is pretty strange to go through with the whole process and than slap someone on the little finger. -

Operation Bear Bones
WHT_MTNMAN replied to CouesWhitetail's topic in Political Discussions related to hunting
There are quite a few "strays" that run the rim road from Show Low to Forest lakes. Mostly Reservation ponies. I know that sometimes if the prosecutors don't have much evidence against an individual they will offer small fines etc...in return for information. I bet that is what happened on some of the individuals. -
Man what a year in Mexico...nice job and thanks for sharing.

Is this carp real.
WHT_MTNMAN replied to bobbyo's topic in Photography of Coues Deer and Other Wildlife
If I remember correctly this guy did other animals and was not trying to pass them off as real and yeah i think they are a woodcarving. -
I Know It is only a Carp But .....
WHT_MTNMAN replied to bobbyo's topic in Bowhunting for Coues Deer
It's a term coues snobs use to downgrade the beauty of a mule deer. I think they have antler envy Its because Mule deer are bottom dwellers and look how ugly that thing...sure those antlers are freaking awesome, but look at the rest. Bobbyo what a great buck congrats. -
What a great buck, congrats to your wife Josh. I'm glad you all got it done, good luck finishing your hunt.
