Bill has hit on something that has bugged me for quite some time, the hunting shows that I watch sooooo much. I watch ALOT of hunting shows, pretty much anything that is on except turkey hunting. No offence I just don't understand it even though I apply every chance I get. Anyways I watch my shows and others around me have to watch with me. Every one knows I love hunting and many non-hunters only exposer to hunting is TV shows. MANY, MANY shows are on "ranches" and all but a few use baits/baited areas to hunt over. I know you have seen it before: camo head to toe sitting in a box, some even have heaters. That box, as Bill said, has been sitting there for years and baited just as long. That is shooting not hunting. UNETHICAL. I/we get grouped into the same pile as those hunters. We are the only ones who know about pre-pre-dawn breakfasts and hour long morning walks in darkness just get to our spots. Then we do get some thing the real work starts. My family/hunting party we butcher our own meat, none of this donate crap! We like to make our own chorizo and give away to family and friends. I give as much as I can and in some ways because I am proud and also because many people think that deer meat is gross funny tasting meat untill they are chopping down on mine and after the third time they say how much they like it I tell then what it is! I will give you as much as I can but my petpive(sp?) is when I hand them my HARD ERNED chorizo they say "Thats it, only 3 packs?" I respond "your right, I will take these back and give you a BIG bag later!" I don't ever give that person any of my meat again. Most don't know how hard we work at doing what we love. No truck/quad rides to heated "shooting" boxes over long time baited areas or "senderos" here.

Great advice on this one....as always. I to have chased the muleys in the 36's grasslands. Some days it GREAT the next nothing! stick with it. I too saw a large herd of good looking muleys east of the Buenos Aires house just outside of the boundery (huntable). They might be large in size because they learned to dance on the boundery line. Kendog: Might you show us a pic of your deer, at least to keep the archery fire alive?!? My hunting partner spend alot of Dec/Jan archery season in the hills trying to do what you did last year. Thanks

SST is Hornady non-bonded version of the Interbond, like Noslers Balistic tip.

Great find!! It even looks like it has or had a little junk on the L G2, BEAUTIFUL!!!

I drew a 32 muley tag and thats it! My wife drew a 6a muzzy tag. My hunting partner drew a 6A archery cow tag!!! All in all not to bad! Predator: You drew a 6A muzzy tag as well?? Cow or bull?? Congrats to all who drew!! and to who didn't I know you will enjoy your dec tags next year!!!

Thats funny Daryl, I do the same thing and I did notice a differance as well.

Guilty as charged! I am lucky enough to work from home, and so that I don't lose it completly I'm on the computer am I do my rounds of a few sites. cwt.com is my favorite! The summer it(I) am worse, no school, NO HUNTING, all we do is wait for the draw results so that we can start to plan for the fall (hopefully and GOD willing)!

You had better watch out Lark! while the draw has already been done, the draw GODS still have the power to change things......for the worst! Especailly for getting my hopes and nerves all wound up!

I'm going with BH4life's prediction because that means that we will know TODAY! OH I'M HURTIN HERE!!

Nice pics! Don't elk ever sleep?

Fire hahahah hatchet hahahah

Excuse my ignorance ........where is Big lake?

Man I was shocked as to how much the fire had grown in just 1 or 2 days!! The fire seems to be burn to the north-northwest, but that is from what can be seen here from Tucson.

I don't know much, but what I have read is that the .40 works great as long as you keep your shot distance relativly(SP) close. Since it starts off at a lighter weight it tends to shed energy rather quickly. All in all I think it would work great if shot placement and as long as distances were in check, energy wise. It sounds like a cool project! To start something from parts and to finally get to use it would be a unique. I have always had lots of resect for the guys who make there own long bows and take ANY game animal with it.

OH to be 17 again..... HAPPY BIRTHDAY YH!!

incest? I don't get it?

My hunting partner/cousin went to this shoot a few years ago and he had a blast. He sold me on going but the 4th of July is big in my family and my favorite(only) brother birthday is on the 5th so it has been hard to go as not all of my family are bow hunters. My it seems a long time since I have posted! If it isn't school , a re-model on the bathrooms , work , etc ,etc.... .....etc. I have been reading your guys posts and some great topics lately to help pass the time till draw results are out! Thanks every one for helping me have some sort of routine.

That is a beautiful story AZPACK, thank you for sharing so important to you with all of us........ and may God bless you!

I think it's pretty clear........He hunts and fishes for a living !! How he earns money is another story.

BOY THAT IS BEAUTIFUL. YOU SHOULD BE PROUD!!!

Just check my Bank account and AZGFD has just cashed my checks I sent in for the draw. Now lets hope I don't get that money back!

Nice CAT!! NICER SHOT!! I too was going to ask about the rifle, it looks rather short overall. GREAT JOB!

I am guessing you mean for deer: For 2003 29 md 1st 30A wt 1st 30B wt 1st 34B wt 1st 34B wt 2nd 35A wt 1st For 2004 30A wt 1st 30B wt 2nd 30B wt 1st 34B wt 1st 35A wt 1st 35B wt 1st 36C wt 1st Good luck!!!!!!!!

THAT IS JUST PLAIN WRONG.........JOKE OR NOT! and Lark.......................'06!!!

Yes, we always do and we have had some luck with it. We always try the Elk and get drawn once and a blue moon, but hey it's an ELK Tag! The one we have tried for for a while and never ever gotten is the 34A "any antler" tag. We have had LOTS of fun with a Muzzle tag in hand! It creates a whole other batch of problems to take into account. I concider myself a "ready for anything" hunter, but I am embarassed to say how many times I driven to the 3 Points range and forgotten one of the many things needed to shoot them. Like I said LOTS OF FUN!!
