Great buck. huge neck to match the antlers. awesome mount!! keven

I wonder how this site set its new record of number viewers this morning at 3:30am. I like to sleep at that time. Keven

Welcome back. Sounds like quite an adventure. Keven

I guess when I was typing this earlier we set the record again at 2:00 pm.

I'm guessing more around 96 inches but I have a hard time with velvet. Great buck though. Keven

I sent an e-mail also. I wish I could figure numbers like Doug. It just doesn't seem right to be going in the direction they want to go. Keven

I have both the bogen tripod with pistol grip and last year I bought the outdoorsmans medium tripod with their pan head. I know its expensive but the outdoorsmans are the way to go IMO. Keven

This is my first attempt at trail cameras. I hear all the horror stories of you guys getting your cameras stolen but decided to give it a try anyway. On Saturday I went down to one of my favorite spots and put two cameras up. I didn't put them on water but I put them close by. It was probably one of the best days for seeing coues that I have ever had. I saw 33 different coues deer and 6 mule deer all in the same canyon in one afternoon. Now all I have to do is draw the tag. Keven

Well I finally got through and drew DER-3-130 and was unsuccessful for elk. Hopefully the deer tag is muzzleloader in the peloncillos. Keven

I think you said it pretty well Mark, They kept stressing oppertunity over quality. One minute he said everything is based on hunter survey cards and the next minute he said they don't need them. I just hope when my boys get old enough to hunt Arizona will still have some trophy animals in it. Keven

I can see the pics but don't know jack about computers. Sorry I can't help you. Keven

I just checked again for the millionith time. Still NOTHING!!! It can't be too much longer, right. Keven

I just watched it and have to agree. Some great elk footage. Hopefully someday I will get a tag. Keven

Awesome buck and great story. Thanks for sharing. Keven

Thanks for the compliments on my bear from last year. I don't know how much he weighed but I'm 265 pounds and he was a lot heavier then me. I shot him with a rifle in a steep nasty canyon in unit 27. I tried to talk myself out of shooting him because I was a long ways back in there but when he stood up and rubbed his back on a tree I saw he was very tall. His skull only measured 20 1/8 inches though. Keven Keime

I don't think its such a good idea to bait bears in arizona. With bait you can have 100% success if you want. Up in Alberta the outfitters run close to 200%(two bears allowed). I have hunted bears there and here. Here in Arizona I average a bear about every three years and thats fine with me.

Here is another photo of Marshall Lake As you can see not much water Keven

Doug, I took my boys there twice and we didn't catch anything. We were using worms. I saw a couple of fish rise but never got a bite.

We had a great time there also. Big thanks to Lance and family for putting this on. Keven

Lance, It looks like me and my boys will be able to make it up there. Thanks for putting this together. Keven

AWESOME

I like Jeff at Magnum Precision also. Does good work and is a great guy. 602-200-0943

I also would respect the elk archers and would go to a unit that did not have elk. Keven

Keith you are right about us needing to stick together. I wonder if Lenord hadn't said anything last night about baiting if we would have had any advance notice about this issue. Hopefully enough people can get the commisions ear and squash this before it too is lost forever. He said all it takes is something to attract some does and then the does will attract bucks. Sounds like maybe they would have to ban rut hunts because the does could be considered bait. He did say they had not actually conducted any scientific studies yet just that coues deer hunters were becoming way to successful. I guess from what I heard it is just in the planning stages right now. Keven
