Nah...your acne's not that bad and you don't like Bud Light...right?

I saw a screenshot of the teleprompter...it already had the 2/3 majority reported. On the assumption that it would pass...oops!

+1 cut them off and then chase them if you have to. Be ready to chase them 3 miles like averagejoe if necessary. And above all have fun!

This was in 36a. Plenty of trash there unfortunately.

Sounds fun. Looking forward to the pics...

I just shared the wealth and celebrated the DNC by renewing my NRA membership! And a BIG +1 to ready2hunt...I too believe it's my Christian duty to share and help those less fortunate (and to pay taxes) but I also believe the sharing and helping others should be on my own terms through my local church or whatever organization who is truly determining the level of need and appropriately rendering aid. Just my 2 cents...keep the change.

Looking for info on processors in the Alpine/Springerville area. I searched the forum and only found this entertaining thread, but not sure if any of the processors with phone numbers are in this area or further east...probably closer to Show Low or Heber based on the subject. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/34604-use-of-a-freezer-in-sept-show-lowheber-area/ Google search shows Rusty's and Singletree in Springerville. Anyone used either of these processors and have any recommendations? Thanks and good luck to all with tags this year...hoping for a good rut hunt this year and a couple of cows on the ground in our camp!

I don't see them either...I was looking for the oval stickers and couldn't find them the other day. I emailed Amanda and she got me taken care of...she said some things just haven't made it into the new store page yet. amanda@coueswhitetail.com

Exactly what I've been considering...wish I was in the market right now and had some spare $$. gotta get the 4wd paid off first...

Bump for good glass for the price...bought a pair of the 10x42s to carry as an add-on to my viper 15s. Very pleased with them.

Great bull and agree with your comment about the hunt and the memories...it's all about the experience with good friends and family making memories. But that's a nice bull as icing on the cake!

Great buck and story! CONGRATS on sticking with it and getting it done. That dude was tough!

Awesome! CONGRATS! Agree on the Powerball ticket...you're on a good streak of luck.

Agree 100% I always feel bad when I can't find a bird and I usually spend a lot of time looking for them to no avail. Amazing how easily those things disappear in the desert when they go down. Best thing I've taken along lately was my 5 yr old who loved collecting my empties as well as all kinds of other stuff she found that others had left behind. Quickest way for areas to get shut down and keep giving hunters a bad name is to leave a mess behind.

+1 if you drive by my camp and there's a deer hanging stop on by and lets talk. Heck even if there's no deer just stop and say hello.

+1 on Jerry's comments. I too am an Eagle Scout and now getting back into scouting as an adult leader with my son who is a Wolf Cub this year. Another great site is meritbadge.org I remember having a copy of this book http://meritbadge.org/wiki/index.php/Boy_Scout_Requirements_book when I was in scouts as a boy and it was very handy. Had all the requirement for all merit badges at a glance. Not a replacement for the individual badge pamphlets, but nice to have the requirements all in one place. (although since then this cool thing called the internet came along and sites like meritbadge.org have everything in one place.)

I guess I got pretty lucky...took my kids (5 and 7) out with a neighbor to a tank maybe 10 min from our house. (thanks to the az law change allowing dove hunting on state land inside city limits!) Couple of dirtbikers around and another couple of hunters at a nearby tank. Otherwise had it all to ourselves and had a nice hunt. Should have limited if I hadn't missed so much...as always doves humbled me! Only negative is more and more people seem to think the area is a dump.

Wow....awesome first buck! Buck of a lifetime is right. All the hard work paid off. CONGRATS!

Assuming you're in 27 near Alpine, I thought exactly the same. Up scouting 2 weeks ago and things already seemed to be starting...early. Well hopefully they'll still be cranking on opening weekend!

Well...my Vols won last night, I got out for a nice stalk today on 2 mulie bucks and found a shed while I was at it (will try to post a pic in the sheds thread later...not sure I can post pics from iPad or not...?) taking the kids to the UofA game tonight, and probably take them out for doves at least once before this long weekend is over. Like I said...my favorite time of the year!

Congrats!

Great story and CONGRATS! Second coues with a bow...you're well ahead of a lot of us! Keep it up...

Congrats! What a cutie. Spend as much time with her as you can...it goes fast. My baby girl just started kindergarten. Hope mom and baby are doing well.

Awesome buck! CONGRATS!

MidwayUSA has them for 19.99 in their new flyer...right on the front cover. Not exactly buy one get one, but close if the deal is no longer going on the swhacker site...
