shoot shovel and shut up.... jk, but cover it like a mt lion would and come back in a year...

does he still use the sleeping bag with the holes in it????

Well first there was the rattlesnake (dead) I put in one of the other guides sleeping bag. Aloud scream was all I heard... The next hunt one of the other guides brought his girlfriend along. We planted one of those foxpro remote callers in their tent under a shirt. When they went to bed we hit the play button. I think we had "bear cubs fighting" playing. they both came running out of the tent...

what are the chances of the G&F warden being out in the field the day after the season, heck I dont even see them during the season...

who the heck still guts elk anymore, what an idiot...

There are actually quite a few bears in 34b, and usally every year around this time one of them gets hit on I-10 near Benson...

I'm more impressed with the photography than the bears....

Went to my favorite water hole opening am and there was another stand up there with a note saying that the guy would be hunting there the whole first weekend. So I left and went to another hole and found a identical tree stand and note, and no one there either... So I left the guy a little suprise in the seat of his tree stands, you can use your imagination!

dead on at 200yds...

Some people are just lucky, I have been shot at, chased, and had stuff in my camp stolen twice by illegals. Also last year ran into 2 differnt people who had their camps burglarized.

The amount of rain we have got this year down in 36B and 35 A/B is above normal. I cant recall seeing it so green in many years. There is water everywhere! Should be great for a late spurt in antler growth!

shhh!

36B got a soaking today...

www.rinconoutfitters.com Look at the website, most of the whitetail n the website are from 33...

I took all of my own pictures also, mostly on hunting trips. I have been a guide and a hunter here in AZ for years, and have seen it all down in southern AZ. I can take you to any one of those spots in the pics. And I f you would like to hear about one of my encounters with drug runners durring a muzzle loader hunt, send me a PM anytime...

looks like a few "farm-worker illegals" have been thru this spot in 36A

20 "farm-worker illegals" in unit 34A

a group of 91 "farm-worker illegals" on the Elk Horn Ranch in unit 36C

more "farm-worker illegals in 35A"

only some "farm-worker illegals" in 36B I'm not worried...

yes, that picture has been gong around for a few years now. i believe it was photo shoped...

Anyone else seeing any bears down low yet? This one was down low about 5000 feet in southern az...

my brother took the picture. The bear was standing 50' off of the road he was walking on. The bear did not run away, just woofed at him and then stood on his hind feet and scratched the pine tree in the picture.

Game and Fish officer, 2 other agency employees fired upon near Mexico border Posted in: News Media Jun 12, 2009Digg this story! Email this article Printer friendly page PHOENIX – Three government agency employees, including an officer with the Arizona Game and Fish Department, another Game and Fish employee, and an employee with Pima County Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation, were fired upon yesterday by a group of men they encountered while scouting the area for a land access project in southern Arizona. None of the agency employees were injured. The three were riding all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) on a road through a small canyon area about four miles east of Arivaca Lake when they encountered a group described as at least four Hispanic males dressed in camouflage. According to Leonard Ordway, supervisor for Game and Fish’s Tucson region, two of the individuals in camouflage immediately fled a short distance up a hill and dropped down in the grass upon the encounter, while the agency employees backed out of the immediate vicinity and regrouped. After a few minutes, the Game and Fish officer crept up a small rise a short distance from the road to look over the scene with binoculars. He observed two other males in camouflage in the area, but in a different direction from the first two. He then started back down the hill to return to the ATVs. “As he started back down to the quads, a gunshot coming from the direction where the first two individuals had fled impacted the ground about 10 feet behind him,” said Ordway. The three agency employees immediately departed the area and notified Game and Fish Radio Dispatch, which in turn notified the Border Patrol, Pima County Sheriff’s Office, and the Arizona Department of Public Safety. About 30-40 law enforcement personnel, aided by three helicopters, were on site within 45 minutes to search the area and investigate the scene. They were not able to find the suspects but did recover several fresh 9mm casings from the area where the initial shot came from, indicating subsequent shots may have been fired as the agency employees were leaving the area. “We’re thankful no one was hurt,” said Game and Fish Director Larry Voyles. “Our law enforcement officers and other field personnel often work in remote areas, and yesterday’s incident serves as a reminder of the potential dangers that they—and personnel from other agencies—face in areas near the border." Voyles added that Game and Fish is reviewing its operating procedures for employees working in borderland areas.

Anyone want to hunt here? This is just south of Tucson... So much for all of the people who keep saying these are harmless people just coming here to work...
