Please describe the event, I'd like to hear from an eyewitness. What did you think it was when you saw/heard it? I've seen a couple long winded meteors (none in daylight) in my life but never any I thought made it to earth.

Bob passed a few months back. A good man. Met him at his home a long time ago to talk whitetails. Bob truly loved Coues deer and contributed quite a bit to our AZ outdoor heritage. RIP Bob. https://www.lindefuneralservice.com/obituary/Robert-Stonoff

OUCH! Glad you & yours got it handled. Hope you recover quickly.

I enjoy the next few weeks due to all the optimism about when & where. Always believe that unexpected tag will show up. Reality will be here soon enough. Unit 1 EAB (6 pts) and 5B rifle lope (27pts). Love chasing bulls on the high ground in September. Good luck to you all.

Likely you should be looking for cougars in that canyon .......

Muzzleloader only hunts are a draw. AZGF will allot permits based on the take. Could be AZGF wants to sell more permits and believes modifying current muzzleloader rules will increase "hunter opportunity."

TTT

x10 When WhiteMtnMan speaks ......... probably ought to pipe down and listen.

Text of SB 1625, note the state senators that are backing the bill. Twelve of thirteen Democrat state senators introduced/sponsored this bill. The only democrat that is not listed on the bill is Sean Bowie of district 18. There are a total of 30 state senators. Arizona-2020-SB1625-Introduced.html

Although a lot of those shots are staged it is true than old time cowboys would rope just about anything ........ fact. Our ancestors were a tough bunch. Cool post BTW.

Beautiful deer. I am no expert but if I had to guess, that buck looks 110 ish to me. Congratulations

For me, it would be a situational thing but I'd hate to disappoint hard working dogs.

Unfortunately it's not if, only a matter of when. Utah, New Mexico and Colorado are all a draw at this point. AZG&F will miss all the non resident dollars and so will many business's. Too many people, not enough game. Nice video of some really good bucks, thx for posting.

Good story and a real nice buck. Congrats!

A friend of mine who is active in federal land management issues (an OHV fiend) told me he recently attended a Tonto Forest planning meeting where the Salt River horse issue was discussed. Apparently the plan is to fence the horses out of the river and off Bush Highway. He said the horses will be contained to a relatively small area. The horse lovers will then feed them. This sounds good but feral horses are well distributed in adjacent areas. Unless they are rounded up, the scourge will continue.
