Great looking Antelope! Cogratulations!

I got my first Antelope on Staurday in Colorado. The buck scored right at 75". Had a great time and saw a ton of game. Thought I would share some pics.

Great looking buck. Congrats.

Had a great hunt down here in Yuma. I had my limit by 6:15 opening morning. It took me a box and a half to get it but I got it. I found a field that still had a lot of left over seed from the previous crop and they were fogging into it. Plan on going back on Monday.

We had a 1 guide for 2 of us. It was nice because we really got to do it like we wanted. We all glassed and found the buck we wanted and made our own stocks. The guide new where to take us to glass that helped a lot. Great hunt.

Thanks guys. It was very nice country to hunt. Lots of glassing and walking. Here is a picture of my dad's lope.

I hunted up near Craig, CO. It was a non-resident ranchers for wildlife tag. I hunted with Elkhorn Outfitters. I have never seen so much game. The amount of mule deer they have is unbelievable. It was a nice place to visit but no coues deer.

I would definetly use a fullsize die. I have run into problems with brass that has been shot 3-4 times. If you resize the full length of the cartridge you won't run into any problems. Try sierra game king, barnes triple shock,hornady innerbond and nosler accubonds. One of those bullets should shoot if your gun is going to shoot. As far as powders I just stick with the RL but, there are a million others. I would stick with one manufacture and bounce around within. Keep your brass at the correct length and you should find a great combo. If someone tells you a certain load does not work don't listen every single gun has different imperfections and will shoot differently.

I need to know how to get Ty Goodman out of Payson's phone number. I have a friend that is interested in him as a guide in December for unit 23. Any help would be great.

I got on just fine.

I have a $19.50 showed up last night, I hope it is my desert Dec Muzzleloader tag. As far as the $39 it would be 2 deer tags

Caughtya cam. I guy out of N Carolina makes them. They are great cameras. -
Just picked up my camera from a three day stay at a mule deer waterhole. Got a lot of deer coming in. The bucks down here have a lot of growing left to do.

I always tell my wife that I could be at the bar or chasing women around but I am not. I am out in the boondocks hunting, sometimes no matter how hard I try to spin it, it just doesn't work. All kidding aside you need a good woman at home to have good hunting and a good home life.

I will be hunting R100 in January. Last year I saw a buck that would go 105" in C. He was 250 yards to the west of the R100 boundary in unit C. I would hunt the rim west of R100. Drive the road on the bottom and glass up the rim. Those cuts are full of coues. The area to the east of R100 is very good as well but I have not hunted it much.

You will be able to purchase the tag that your buddy returns. You just have to be the first one to call. As for the november hunt I have never hunted it before but I know a lot of people that have and I would say its just like hunting state land in November. The quality bucks are there they just don't move like they do in December and January.

My dad was a hunting and fishing maniac. He died when I was 8 years old. We hunted and fished every chance we could together. I have converted my step dad over to the hunting and fishing side. I am 28 now and I remember every single trip we took. I now have a son and a daughter and even though the oldest is only 2.5 we are already making those great hunting and fishing trips together. Life is to short to not enjoy it.

What's your favorite thing about AZ?
matthewp45 replied to stanley's topic in Coues Deer Hunting in Arizona
Born and raised here in Yuma, AZ except for the 4 years I spent in Tucson at UofA. I would not live anywhere else. I love hunting, camping fishing all over the state. The only thing that scares me now is living so close to the border. We are being over run and it is putting a big shiner on the face of our state. Great example is all of the 36 units. What will be affected 10 years from now?
