Please Welcome Miller's Southwestern Processing!

I'm not too far from their shop and had always wondered about that place. Given all the good recommendations on here I will give them a shot this year, provided I have the good fortune of filling my deer tag. -
So I bought a camera and also talked my dad into buying a camera when Amanda had the older Covert's on sale. We had been wanting to get started using trail cams, this was just a good reason to start. Here is just a small sampling of some of the pictures we've gotten so far over the summer. If you happen to know the spot or are smart enough to figure it out from the pictures, please don't announce it to the whole world. And don't worry, we have seen a good number of bucks in this area, but the biggest from January would maybe go 90" We are not trophy hunters but enjoy getting to know new areas and find new spots. Enjoy I just really liked how this picture turned out. The coloring, the sunlight hitting the deer and the water dripping from her mouth. Thought it was pretty cool This bear has been around since we started putting cameras up beginning of June. Nice blonde male. We have TONS of pictures of him over the last 2 months. Didn't figure this for bear country. This was the big shocker for us. He has been coming around pretty often the last few weeks. Cool pictures, hope he doesn't eat all the deer before the season. Momma grey fox and her young'n Young buck wanted to cool down while taking a drink. Some piggies The biggest buck in the area. Last year he was probably about 85" or so. He had a buddy that hung around with him all summer and then strangely disappeared about 3 weeks ago. Lion food???? So this being our first time using cameras we have been having a lot of fun and found it to be a great scouting tool.

Brad, it's the Covert 2. I finally decided to give in and get one when Amanda had them discounted until they sold out. I talked my dad into getting one also. The first pics are from his cam and the javelina and bigger buck are from mine. The cameras are a few ridges apart. They are small, take great pictures, and battery life is great. I am still new at this but it's a lot of fun and a great scouting tool. I should have started a long time ago.

That is a beautiful buck and the mount turned out great.
-
Wow, this was a long time ago. I finished the apprenticeship just over two years ago. I have worked on different jobs, both big and small, across the valley. Since October of '09 I have been back at Intel and I am currently a foreman for Rosendin Electric. Over 27,000 views for this thread, very cool.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. This is my first mount-worthy deer and my first piece of taxidermy work. The pictures just don't do it justice. Wellers did such a good job, as I knew they would, and it looks great on the wall. I can't wait to get some more critters to fill up the other spaces. Now if only I could get my wife to feel that same enthusiasm
-
As I expected, Wellers did an outstanding job on my 2010 early rifle buck. I'm obviously not the greatest photographer, but the final product looks amazing in person. Absolutely everything in their shop looks great.

Overall a very strong looking box. As I read through all these posts all I can think is how sad it is that we even have to take these measures and still hope that our camera is still there. Right now my camera is out and not even in a lock box. All that is holding it is the strap that it came with. I checked it after week 1 and that was 2 weeks ago. Going to check it in 1 more week. I hope it's still there.

Isn't south of the Tres Bellotas Ranch in Mexico??? The ranch is on the border, right?? Either way, the fire situation in this state is unreal.
-
That was the very first thing I thought of when I saw the pictures. However, I would never have the patience to let a shot pass on that buck to "let him grow bigger" Hopefully though, he will be able to wrap a tag on that deer this year.
-
I know nothing about numbers but that deer is AWESOME!!!!!! All I know is that he would look amazing on the wall. Is the date correct?? Seems late to be carrying that headgear. Your wife must be your good luck charm , you should take her with you on opening day. Thanks for sharing.
-
Amanda, I thought you had mentioned that you now also carry Wilderness Athlete products. Where can I find the link to purchase them from you? I have been looking unsuccessfully and was wondering if maybe I just wasn't seeing it. Thanks, Daryl

Was Antlers ever rebuilt after it burned down? I haven't been up that way in a while, obviously. Where is the best place to eat in Young? Thanks

I am finally into the trail cam game!!! It took me a while but the sale Amanda has on the Covert II finally got me into it. I set my cam today and plan on leaving it for 2 weeks. My dad also purchased a Covert II and it is in the vicinity of my cam. When we go back we would like to see the pictures before we get back home(or even to the car So instead of taking the laptop, what is everyone using for an image viewer?? I have done some looking online and haven't found anything that really seems that great. The 2 that Bass Pro has on their website both have terrible reviews. So of course I turn to the CWT crew for help to solve my problem. Thanks in advance, Daryl

Sounds like I need to buy a new digital camera that takes an SD card. I have looked online and found some fairly inexpensive cameras with a 3" screen. Thanks for the help.
-
Why do people have to come on and bash what others are asking in price??? If you don't like it then don't buy it. But you're just as well to not say anything at all. You can find it a bit lower in other places but not with a Harris bipod.
-
My dad has that same bino case and the Swaro 15x56 fit inside if you put them upside down. It is an awesome case and he has no problem using it that way. Just a thought.
-
I just ordered mine last night. I am excited because this is my first trail cam. I'm looking forward to working a few areas for the early archery deer season.

I will always cheer for ASU over U of A but I don't have the hatred that some of you guys seem to have. I like to see our state represented well, especially on such a big national stage. And it doesn't matter if you like the Wildcats or not, Derrick Williams is a beast. That two handed dunk over two defenders was the best so far in the tourney. Cats represented our state well. It was a great game to watch. I think Cats should have played for the tie at the end, even though Horne did get a pretty good look.
-
I tried to sell my dad's for him and even on craigslist I only got one call from some woman offering half what I listed it at. You're pretty much better off keeping it unless you are willing to let it go pretty cheap. Not trying to burst your bubble, there's just not much of a market for them.

GIANT 184 inch coues plus two more 100 inchers

That is amazing!! I can't wait for July when I can go pick up my deer from them and put it on my wall. Of course, it is not like those deer but I know Wellers does awesome work and they will make mine look great. -
Can any of you Flagstaff residents tell me if there is enough snow in the Wing Mountain snow play area??? We are planning on going up there tomorrow with the kids. Thanks, Daryl

Thank you Doug. I guess we waited too long this year.

I am posting this link for a friend. It is for a 22 ft Fish and Ski type boat with a 200 Hp Johnson motor. http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/boa/2241969130.html If you need any further info you'll need to respond through the CL ad as I don't know anything more about the boat.
