CouesBuckhunter

I remember skinning and trimming those skulls out. Haha. That coues had a lot of mass. .

Yeah you are probably right yotebuster. Hopefully something great shows up for you 280REM!

Those muleys are really far behind for some reason 280REM

People are lazy. It sickens me to see all of the new two tracks created by people that are too lazy to hike.

Awesome pictures

+1 on pics.

Head over to chasinggame forums. Just type that into Google and it should pop up. Post the issue in the Moultrie section and someone should help you out there. A lot of cam fanatics on the site that know the cameras in and out. Hope this helps.

Awesome pics buddy.

Desert muleys are dropping right now zukicrazy. All the bucks I've been watching already have velvet buds.

Muleys are dropping. Only saw 1 small spike still packing both sides.

308Nut is correct. I was seeing big muleys rutting all of February.

good question lance!

Nice spurs on that bird

The last thing I would add is specific to your last comment. Cameras, I have learned in the last 4 weeks, improves a hunters education dramatically about the environment. There is so many things to learn from looking at the pictures you have captured. If we are all being true to improving the animal population, taking mature animals, etc. than what better way than to let a 280" bull walk because you are "educated" to the fact that there are more mature animals to harvest? Likewise, if you learn an area is under populated, make a decision not to hunt there and move on....your analogy suggests cameras are responsible for harvesting big animals as if it a bad thing? How about the twenty or so 2 and 3 year old animals that get to live another year because of the education a camera provided? Lastly, a camera is not a substitution for scouting, etc. I still think this is essential as well. wow you really took that personal. I received a lot of likes for that post so I'm not alone in my thoughts. I'm sure I'm from another generation of hunters and we did it all on our ownI'm jumping in on this one...you did it all on your own? What'd u choke your game to death? You never bought a better performing rifle or a nicer set of glass? All of us hunters do things to improve our odds. Cams are no different.GreenMachine you hit it on the money. 1shot if you are claiming that cameras are the reason that more big trophy animals are being killed then why don't we also look at the fact that technology has made better equipment that everyone uses and not just focus on cameras alone. What about high powered rifles and scope by which "hunters" shot there game at further distances (up to 1000 yards)? Ever think about this? How about the increased use of high powered optics and GPS gadgets? How about the increase in dedicated, passionate and hardworking hunters that go the extra mile to harvest a mature animal? How about that fact that some ppl are LUCKY, and the fact that there has been an increased use of outfitters to harvest trophy animals. You make it sound like trail cameras ALONE are the reason for the increase trophy harvest, which by the way how are you coming up with this information that more trophies are being killed?? Some of the biggest trophy animals were killed 50 plus years ago, and they were killed all the time. What has changed is how information spreads. Whenever someone kills a trophy now a days, everyone hears about it so it may seem as if more trophies are being killed. Are there more trophy animals being taken now compared to previous years? Perhaps...but there are also more hunters now then before. If there indeed are more trophies being killed each year, trust me its not because of cameras, its due to a huge combination of factors. Cameras are a tool, just like 15x56 swarovskis, vortex scopes, GPS, quads, maps, high powered rifles, compound bows... they are all tools that help us reach a higher potential as hunters. As mklong40 said, there is EXTREME Ignorance when it comes to people talking about the use of trail cameras. Do ppl really believe that just by putting a camera out you are going to have immediate results and a trophy buck is just going to appear? Most of the time you get nothing. People don't realize the amount of work that goes into utilizing a camera. You have to scout the area first and locate the game before you even put the camera out. I am no one to say that one mans style of hunting is better then the next; as long as it is ethical and legal. Last I checked, camera are still legal. Therefore, please respect the hard work and hunting methods that others use even if they do not aline with yours. 1shot this is not an attack nor do I take it personal, just making a point based on your arguments. P.S. Your comment of "I received a lot of likes for that post so I'm not alone in my thoughts." You only had 1 like when I checked. Yup sounds like a lot to me. +1 well said. I've been running cams for 7-8 years now. I use them as a tool just like I use my swarovskis. There's always some ancient buck that likes to be completely nocturnal that I don't see the first few scouting trips glassing an area. If the trail cam captures him, then I know that I just need to look through the glass alittle harder. I don't understand all this "patterning of deer" bologna, as many years as I have been using trail cameras I have never had a coues deer show any pattern whatsoever. Maybe it's just the areas I hunt or maybe that's just coues deer behavior. I have never sat one of my salt sites because they are all miles to hike to and it is not my preferred way of hunting. I bust my butt glassing and hiking the area first, once I find that buck of interest I hang cams up and hope to get pictures of him just to have them. And use the cams in between seasons just to make sure that buck is still alive. I've been chasing the same ancient coues buck for 3 years now and knowing that he is still alive prior to a season keeps me persistent on him and that is the sole reason why I did not fill my tag last year, because that tag was only for him. So generalizing people that implement trail cameras as "lazy" is total rubbish. If a 120 is killed because someone caught it on their camera and thus knew about it, good, we all know a 120 isn't a 2-3 year old deer, so at least a mature buck is taken and not a young one.

People have no clue about the jaguar in az and where it likes to roam. What I can say is that it is a proven fact that the jaguar travels north of the Rosemont mine and the mine would in fact impact that jaguar. Critical habitat should be established in the Santa Ritas because that's where he likes to roam most of the time. People say this should be done and that should be done but, for the most part, they havent put the miles on the boots and time in the field to actually know what the situation is.

That's a nice plump grey fox

Same thing happened to me a couple weeks ago! 55gr 22.250 right to the upper chest at 30 yards. He dropped, spinner, then hit a thick cut and disappeared.

Pm me some pics please

Pics please

Right there with you stand man! I've had 100% on my stands this year and only have shot 2 so far! Sickening thinking of how many have gotten away but makes you go out and try to do better! Congrats on the yote. Nice deer killer down. Especially nice to see all the yotes recently taken in az.

Looks to be around that age. In the head and face you can tell it's a younger Javelina. In wonder if they lose that sound when they get older and develope

Never heard a Javelina make this sound before! http://m.youtube.com/index?client=mv-verizon-us&desktop_uri=%2F%3Fclient%3Dmv-verizon-us

Thanks for the corect link!

I try to get what I need from the land as much as I can so that I don't have to carry as much and I keep some extra stuff in my pack at all times in case of a bad mechanical injury that would prevent me from getting back out. As warm as it is right now, finding food isn't much of a problem.

Maybe a trail used by illegals, that's my guess...
