Nice work on the video, thanks for taking the time to share.

For me, any excuse to get out is a good excuse so I do as much scouting as possible regardless of which hunt I have. However, if my tag was in December i might spend a little more time in Sept listening to elk bugle and shoot a few more squirrels in Oct.

Looks like the Nov. bull hunt I was going to help out on has fallen through (tag holder will be 7 mos pregnant), if anybody on the late bull hunts wants extra eyes just let me know.

Details and pics I hope. Congrats on a great accomplishment.

Those bucks could be purple and orange and I wouldnt have noticed. Sweet pic!

Man makes me wonder how many of you guys I commute with . . . better think twice next time I throw up a one fingered salute.

Being late and whining about steep hikes. I took a buddy once right after high school and by noon he was whining the hills are too steep, its too hot, there are no deer, blah, blah, blah. Oh yeah and when they have to call and "check in" 6 times a day.

I saw an Escape on the 101 South 60 East on ramp today that had one of your stickers. Wasn't you was it?

Well if you decide you want a second for the same price let me know.

I agree. Make those thugs think twice before storming a room full of citizens.

Love that elk pedestal. Very nice work.

Looks like a shooter to me!

How else do you determine age of a buck? Bushwhack it and check the teeth? Hunter's have to make a conscious decision not to harvest young animals. Using trail cams and scouting provide opportunities to evaluate deer and unerstand more about its age. But honestly in the Western US, I don't know of a good way to ensure young animals arent harvested. But having hunted in 4 point only units in ID, I will tell you that the system is ineffective at developing older age class animals.

I would certainly not use ID as a model for wildlife management. Point restrictions really have not proven effective in those areas. I like the idea of trying to target the harvest but point restrictions aren't really the answer. You just end up encouraging bad genetics.

OTC First come first serve start Monday. Lots of tags left.

What kind of cam are you using for that first set up? The range on that thing is very impressive.

If Game and Fish is proposing the tags already, how would this obliterate our herd? According to their survey data the herd sustains those tags and the associated harvest. This just allows the AZGFD to maximize the use of their resources.

I would love to see this happen with leftover deer tags. I have been chomping at the bit for an excuse to go down south.

I think that long haired black bear would be my sole purpose in life. If the date and time is right you may have yourself a spot there.

Dang that was a steal.

I think Italy beat them. US beat N. Korea in the semis. Glad to see an AZ boy with a hunting background representing us. (And his dad is a heck of a taxidermist)

I have done that a couple of times. Not a lot of fun.

Hunted 31 Oct WT a couple of years ago and we went into Aravaipa from the West side. Saw one nice ram during the 2 days we were in there. A couple of years ago a ram was killed in there that went high 180's.

I have always had a thing for big blondes . . .
